We chose this house as the location was close to but not in Santa Fe. We wanted a bit more peace & quiet but access to all that we wanted to see and do in the area. This house was the perfect spot. We absolutely loved it's layout with a large kitchen and outdoor spaces. We had no issues whatsoever with the property. It was very clean and everything was in good working order. We contacted the owner only once and he got back to us right away. We would definitely recommend!

El Dorado

Great house, great location. We’ve stayed at quite a few VRBO houses and this by far is one of the best. The location is a short drive to Santa Fe. There are plenty of places nearby to dine, shop, etc. Great neighborhood.

An excellent host

We have stayed at this lovely house before but this time we experienced some trouble with the heating that forced us to move. Bill was responsive and sympathetic, and really worked with us to come to a resolution. Minor adversity brought out the best in his hosting skills. We’ll come back!

Lovely home but we ran into some problems.

We stayed here the summer of 2021 and had a lovely time. This time we were surprised to find the second bedroom locked despite the fact that the home was advertised as a two bedroom home and that is what we paid for. We also had problems with the heat which never got fully resolved. We were also surprised that this time there were two vehicles in the garage which made it difficult to navigate to the recycling and we could not use the grill.

A spectacular rental property

You will not be disappointed when you rent the home at 8 Avila in Eldorado. The property is beautiful. The home itself is very comfortable and tastefully decorated. The kitchen has every cooking tool you would require. There are plenty of towels to use and the beds are nice and comfortable. There is a supermaket just down the street, so you will not have to travel far to buy groceries. The location of the house is only avbout 8 miles out of the Santa Fe Square. Eldorado is quiet and out of the hustle and bustle of the city. The views of the sunsets at night along with the stars are amazing. Its location is also near Rt. 25, os getting to other destinations is easy, just hop on the highway. If you run into any problems with the house, Bill is quick to come to your rescue. A smoke alarm went off while we were there. Bill had the battery replaced in no time.

If you like a sprawling neighborhood feel vs in-town hubbub, this is a wonderful area for home base. It's easy to hop on I 25 to Santa Fe, Albuquerque or the Pecos Wilderness/Las Vegas, NM area or 285 to Galisteo Basin Reserve, Lamy or Cerrillos. Eldorado has a grocery store, small restaurants and a satellite Santa Fe Brewery pub. The home's Master bedroom and bath are spacious; second bedroom and bath much smaller. The kitchen is well-appointed for cooking; dining inside at a large wooden table or al fresco on the patio. We did learn a very hard VRBO lesson: READ ALL DETAILS of listings IN THEIR ENTIRETY before booking a stay! While browsing this listing we noted "A/C" under "Popular amenities" section ( necessary in June in Santa Fe!) but failed to study the "ESSENTIAL" section where 7th item down states "AC Split in Master bedroom. No AC in rest of house." We were unpleasantly surprised as temps were high and house was hot from late am to twilight but that was on us.

Perfect in every way!

My husband and I stayed here for a week. It is the perfect location for anyone wanting to spend time in Santa Fe and Albuquerque. We were surprised by how quiet it was where the house is located. We actually never heard anything while we were in the house. It was awesome. The house is spotless and has anything one may need. The master bedroom and bath were incredible. The bed was so comfortable and the master closet is huge!! The kitchen had everything we needed to cook some meals when we chose to eat at the house and there is a nice little neighborhood supermarket very close to the house. Bill was very easy to get in touch with and check in was a breeze. If we are ever back out in the area, we will definitely stay here again.

Perfect Vacation!

It felt like home, the house was beautiful, there was nothing we needed, the setting was picturesque! Bill gave us very useful information. We took a Balloon ride, got plenty of our favorite, Mexican Food, and other great food! The art was incredible! We saw Meow Wolf, and got into Georgia O'Keef's home. Thank you for helping make our stay perfect Bill! If 8 Avila is available when we come out there again we will be back!

Awesome and relaxing environment.

We have used VRBO many times, both in the US, and in Europe. To quote my finance, "I have never taken as many pictures of a place we stayed, as the property in Santa Fe." Gave the location four stars because it is a somewhat of a drive (about 20 minutes) to most venues in Santa Fe. For us, the drive was not an issue. In fact, being a little isolated was one of the appealing features of the property for us, but everyone may not see it the same way. The house had everything one could need for a "home away from home." A first for us was fire extinguishers and a first aid kit, the later of which came in handy when we need an aspirin. We hope to return next year to Santa Fe, and would not even consider another property unless this home was rented for the time we wanted to be there.

Girls trip

The house was great, we were not there much, but when we were, we enjoyed the house. The hot water was great, never ran out. Each having our own bedrooms was wonderful. It is a little far out of town, but close enough to the highway to get anywhere quickly. If you go, take a hot air balloon ride with Johnny Lewis, it was wonderful, he is a great pilot. Thanks Bill for sharing your house.

Everything we needed and hoped for

Spacious, comfortable, clean and quiet. pleanty of linen and all kitchen itensils provided and also sharp knives, wich were a welcome difference. Wonderful to be rural yet so close to Santa Fe. We heard coyotes at night, went for lovely walks in the cool mornings and used the local community swimming pool often. Great communication with Bill. Would recommend highly.

6/10 Okay

Nice home in quiet community outside Santa Fe.

I would like to start by saying this is a nice 3br home with easy access to nearby attractions. The beds are very comfortable and all the furnishings are nice... We stayed for a week in June with 4 adults and our 21 mos old son. There was a community recreation area nearby with a nice playground and pool which our son enjoyed. Bill was a a available immediately by phone when we called and very graciously worked with the community center to get us guest pool passes( thank you !). We did encounter a broken toilet seat upon arriving and this was reported and immediately addressed and replaced........ as for suggestions and things to consider...... one does need to take in to consideration that there is no cooling system and while there are fans in each bedroom there is no fan in the main family and kitchen area and it was quite hot during our stay. Even with keeping the windows and doors open during the cool hours and keeping them closed and the curtains drawn during the day the temperature in the main part of the house was in the 80's ... the master bedroom would not cool down below 80 until well into the early morning hours. It would have been nice to have had a box fan for the living area , particularly because we had a couple of nights when there was no breeze. We have stayed in El Dorado before but there was always a swamp cooler which makes a huge difference. As for my other concerns, because we did have to have the screened sliding doors open so much we did encounter many spiders... also there is no garbage disposal and a limited supply of kitchen garage bags .. I would also make a suggestion of having more toilet paper.... we had 4 rolls for 5 people for a week. And the master bath only had one washcloth.... plenty of towels but only 5 washcloths total for 5 people for a week and only 2 dish towels and 2 dishcloths which made for more frequent laundry. The kitchen was well stocked except for limited storage containers for left overs and only 2 ice trays for a fridge that does not have ice maker. Overall would stay again but not in summer months.

Hi Shannon, Thanks for the review. I was at the house last June, so I know how hot it is in June. The afternoon monsoons start in July. The monsoons bring afternoon clouds and a cooling breeze Bill Steiner
