Turtlehouse Perfection

This rental was as advertised. Location is in a nice part of town, convenient to grocery store and restaurants. We were attending an Archery tournament at Balloon Fiesta Park and it was only about a 15 minute drive. House was clean and the outdoor setting was private and lovely. Will definitely stay here again if we make it back to Albequerque!

Best VRBO we have ever used!

Turtle House was absolutely perfect! It was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The location was ideal—peaceful yet convenient—and the space felt luxurious and thoughtfully designed. Every detail was just right, and we truly couldn’t find a single thing to critique. It exceeded our expectations in every way. We would absolutely recommend Turtle House to anyone and would stay here again in a heartbeat!

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!
