Underwater Home w/Game Room ~6 min to Stadium & Downtown / 2 King Beds &Fire Pit
We had a great stay in this house. Very cute decorations…very well done. The house is older but very comfortable. A perfect amount of space for the 3 of us. Located close enough to everything but also far enough away from the craziness.
