Nice Views

House is comfortable and wonderfully located up a hill where you can see the city below, mountains, and White Sands in the distance. We watched the eclipse from the back driveway and had a clear view. We would recommend this house for anyone visiting Alamogordo.

Beautiful property!

This is one of the nicest VRBO properties I have ever stayed at ( and I have stayed at many!). The house is quite large and has several outdoor seating areas. The views are fantastic, including the sunsets and starry night sky’s. The king bed in the primary bedroom was very firm and comfy, and the shower had great water pressure. While only my husband and I stayed there, this house would have been perfect for 2-3 couples, or a family with a few kids! Would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Overall nice place

Overall this was a nice place! To start with the pros: Location is great up on a hill with lovely views. It is quiet without any traffic noise. You can safely take a walk on the street for exercise. The house has plenty of room. Cons: I was very taken aback by receipt of an email the day before arrival stating they don't do dishes and there will be a $50 dish cleaning fee on top of the already charged cleaning fee when booking. Not that this is a huge deal as we always load dishes in the dishwasher upon leaving but their dishwasher appeared to start but didn't run the day before, and there are no directions so just beware you need to ensure the red light below stops blinking to make sure it's running or you may be charged extra! I just feel this is underhanded as not disclosing all fees until 1 day before check in doesn't seem right. If you don't agree with them by that time they know your options are limited. The listing says it has a grill, this does not mean a BBQ grill. It means a griddle by the stove that does not heat up fast. Not a misrepresentation just a mis-assumption on our part. The light in the master closet does not work. There is a loose step cover on the first flight of stairs that should probably be looked at as it is wobbly under your feet when walking up. The noise from people talking downstairs echoes loudly to the upstairs bedroom. This is just how some houses are, just to be aware for other light sleepers out there. Overall met our needs.

The incredible view of the basin, the porch and deck off the bedrooms made this one of our favorite home rentals ever. Add the well-appointed rooms and the artwork and we thought it would be an ideal home for retirement!

An amazing quite place to spend a couple of days exploring Alamogordo and the White Sands. Set up on the side of the Sacramento Mountains, the views are incredible. Sitting on the deck in the morning as the sun came up behind us was a great experience. The home itself was meticulously decorated with artwork and high-end furniture. A well-stocked kitchen and enough linens made the experience delightful. He even provided saucer sleds to take to White Sands to slide down the dunes. Edward definitely takes the time to ensure his guests have a great experience. 10/10 would stay here again. Thanks Edward.

Great White Sands Visit

We spent two nights here so we could visit White Sands. Everything was super smooth, communication was good, check in was easy, directions were clear. The view was great when it wasn’t hazy out (sand and wind whipping up at all times of day). It was fairly steep getting to the house but we got used to it and it’s worth it for the view. The house was comfortable, beds are extremely firm. We realized you have to drive to most things in this area of New Mexico anyways so a 10-15 min drive was not a big deal. 30 mins to White Sands which was an unforgettable experience. My only feedback would be it would be nice to have a couple extra towels. We had one per person to shower and one hand towel in the kitchen and that was it. It was fine but could have used some extra when it was raining and we had wet shoes coming in the house and no mat. Overall it was a great trip.

Great Place - Terrible Host

Nice property and location. Horrible host. We have stayed in Alamogordo and Ruidoso multiple times for the past two years without issue. I admit we made a mistake by not bagging all trash and rectified the mistake immediately by picking up the trash and disposing of it ourselves. I don't think this warranted an ALL CAPS email lambasting us for the mistake. That should have indicated what kind of host we had. This is the only place out of at least 14 VRBO and Air BB rentals we have stayed, for the past two years, that we have had any issue with. Now we are being blamed for breaking a nightstand and a painting and leaving a GIANT mess. The only photos produced are a few spots on the floor and a couch??? I did not receive any photos of the alleged broken items. In fact we re-hung a piece of artwork that was falling down off the wall upon arrival. We are taking pictures of every space from now on when we arrive and leave a place. I do not want to have false charges added to our credit card with no evidence. We were also blamed for a faulty ice maker.
