The house was clean and looked as the pictures, it was easy check in. The hot tub was nice . We didn’t get to enjoy the fire pit there was a bunch of weeds and old pine needles in it , also the grass was long and patio furniture and area had not been clean up , there was also some kind of animal that was living in the garage , there was animal scat all over garage floor. The location was very quiet and relaxing

Thank you for your review. We apologize for any inconvenience. We have contacted the landscapers to address these issues. We also will check out the garage as we were not aware of an animal in there. We hope you will return again in the future. Thanks!

A Relaxing and Cozy Escape

We had such a relaxing stay at The Sands! As soon as we arrived, we dropped our bags and headed to Barney’s—just a few steps away—to stock up on groceries for the weekend. The location is perfect, within walking distance to the main strip and Beer Church!The couches were incredibly comfortable, and I really appreciated the welcome binder and the variety of pillow firmness on each bed.The hot tub was the perfect touch for our girls’ getaway!Thank you for a wonderful stay!
