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!

Enjoyed staying in the Turtle House in Albuquerque. Was there almost two weeks. Great location and nicely equipped home. Two problems -- could not figure out the coffee pot and could not figure out how to use the tv system. When I tried to watch golf on CBS, the system wanted to charge a fee. Neither of these two issues was a big deal, just a minor inconvenience. The house, the garage and the neighborhood were not disappointing.

The Turtlehouse is perfect! It had everything we needed so we could focus on family and friends. The Turtlehouse was cute, cozy, clean and secure (I appreciated the window locks!). If you are traveling during the winter months bring a pair of slippers! The tile floor can get chilly. The location is great! Lots of restaurants and familiar stores just minutes away. The neighborhood felt safe. Overall, this home was both tasteful and thoughtful to the needs of travelers. Thank you.

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.

We had a wedding to attend in Albuquerque, we found the title house and due it it’s reviews, location, pictures and price we booked it. And boy were we glad we did! 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

Short stay in a welcoming home & neighborhood

Our weekend vacation came and went too quickly! We had a wonderful time, ate amazing food and ventured north and south. The Turtlehouse was very inviting and we were quite comfortable. There was a slight hiccup with the door code at check-in that was easily fixed with a phone call. The patio was a very inviting place to sit with coffee and listen to the birds while watching the sun rise. A big thank you to Eloy for your assistance and hospitality! We hope to be back next year or sooner.

Clean property in an easily accessible location to the mountains and freeways. The kitchen is small and may not be practical for large families with children but overall the house is excellent with a convenient “mud” room right off the garage entrance.

Turtle House

The Turtle House property was very clean, with comfortable beds and a beautiful, relaxing private courtyard. It is located in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood very near to the Sandia Mountains. We came with our daughter as a graduation gift and we thoroughly enjoyed much of what Albuquerque had to offer : beautiful, scenic hiking, interesting museums and of course, the delicious food! Old Town Albuquerque was fun to explore, as well as the drive up Historic Route 66 to Santa Fe. All in all we had a wonderful experience, and would recommend the Turtle House, and Albuquerque, as a great place to stay and explore!

The house was charming, comfortable, and very clean. I enjoyed my 10-day stay there and would stay again. There are grocery stores a short drive away, and Bear Canyon Open Space, a nice walking spot with a view of the mountains, is just over 10 minutes on foot. All communications with the kind host, Eloy, were easy and fast. Highly recommend.

Perfect location for our visit to Albuquerque!

We stayed at the Turtle House from October 3-6, 2021. We are native to Albuquerque and always look to stay in rentals vs. hotels when we return home to visit family & friends in the area. We were happy that this visit also coincided with the Balloon Fiesta!! The house was in a nice, quiet neighborhood, but had easy access to major roads a shopping. The house is stocked with all the essentials you will need to be comfortable during your stay. There was an issue with the washing machine during our stay (which was not a big deal for us), but the property manager made us aware of it ahead of time and stayed in communication with us throughout our stay to make sure we had what we needed. We really enjoyed having our morning coffee and evening glass of wine out on the private patio. As an added bonus, we had great views of the balloons during the Balloon Fiesta. Overall, we highly recommend this property and will plan to stay again, if possible, on a return visit to Albuquerque in the future!!

My husband and I are traveling back to our home in WA from a memorial service for my brother in Wisconsin. We took our time along the way and visited friends in each location.

The Turtle House is an exceptional property to relax and enjoy Albuquerque. It is close to many restaurants and centrally located for just about anything you want to do. The outdoor patio was our favorite. We spent every morning out there and every evening we would just sit and enjoy the beautiful landscaping. Eloy was so easy and friendly to work with. I highly recommend this property the next time you are in Albuquerque. Rick and Janice Hill
