Things To Do

VRBO: "STARS" Downtown Location (highly recommend)

This was for a large group of us to celebrate 3 of our birthdays, so this Airbnb would be perfect for large parties/bachelor/bachelorette trips and birthdays. There is a pool out back that you share with the above unit, which we never had an issue with. There was only one spot and if the people renting the top unit got there first, they would get it, so you have to park down the street and around the corner in a pay-to-park parking lot. We actually booked this stay through VRBO versus Airbnb and it was a lot cheaper on that site.
