Our family truly enjoyed our time at Bid-A-While. It felt like our own private oasis. The kids had plenty of room to roam and explore. Plus being a 5 min walk to the main stripe was incredible! We didn’t want to leave! Jon and Sean were amazing hosts who went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Highly recommend!
