Cute house with great backyard

The house was perfect for our stay in Albuquerque while we went on several winter birding excursions. The location was convenient to many hiking trails. We loved the backyard landscaping and the house was outfitted with everything we needed.

Great place

This was a great little house! The ability to use the garage made it feel like home (and kept the car cool!). The location is perfect, very close to trails and the Sandia peak while also being near enough to shopping that nothing felt inconvenient. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to Albuquerque!

We love the Turtle House

The only issue was the level of hot water in the master shower. It seems like the nozzle is set to deliver water that is just a little warmer than warm. The sinks and other bathroom was fine.

This comfortable house had everything we needed, with lots of space for four adults and two kids. The stone garden with various turtle statues was adorable. It was a perfect fit for our adventures back and forth to the Balloon Fiesta. Thank you very much for a wonderful stay.

Fun little mini-vacation in Albuquerque

Met my Mom and brother here for a few days, since we each live in different corners of the USA, to explore ABQ and the surrounding areas. What a cute little house for a home base! Location was great, very safe and quiet, house was very clean and everything worked as it should. The back yard patio is such a great place to relax and drink coffee in the early morning hours. We highly recommend the Turtle House and would definitely stay there again if visiting ABQ!

Albuquerque stay

We needed a fully furnished home while we searched for a home and this home met our needs. It was easy to text questions or needs and someone responded quickly. The area is easy to navigate for shopping, restaurants and daily needs. The northeast side of Albuquerque is an easy and less crowded place to stay .

Eloy and his team were fabulous, quick responses when we had a few questions. Great location in a quiet neighborhood but within just short drive to wonderful restaurants and breweries. (Check out Marble Brewing and Casa Rodena Winery) We will definitely be back and will 100% stay at the turtle house again

Excellent Experience - Clean, Comfortable, Friendly, Good neighborhood

We loved the Turtle House. It actually was even better in real life vs. the great photos. We liked the friendly, home, tasteful style. Walked the neighborhood daily to the nearby park and arroyo. Close to stores, restaurants, and church. Excellent communication from the management company including when they came to cleanup leaves and do maintenance. Always gave us warning and accommodated our schedule. Would definitely stay there again.
