This place was truly amazing! So much room! The view was beautiful and the balcony was the best!! Weather wasn't great, so we spent most of our time either on the balcony or sitting right in front of the doors. Everything was clean and comfortable. This corner unit provided spectacular sunsets!
10 / 10Outstanding·Sep 2025
Highly recommend this property! It was our first time staying on the main strip and it was super convenient to get to all the places we wanted to go. The space was perfect for our family of 6. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the views were amazing.
