This place was fantastic. It’s in a quiet cove with private dock access, but it’s only 15 minutes away from the strip. The property had everything that we could possibly need, and the host was always available - leading up to the trip and during.This place is perfect for a family getaway, or for a group of friends on a trip. This place won’t disappoint!
