Great Stay

Great place, easy check in / check out Our visits to El Paso are to see family. So for us the dinning table was a little small at dinner. That being said the living area was spacious plenty of seating. We have young kids so not having a park within walking distance was something I had not researched. We're from the northeast, so the weather would have been great to get the kids outside playing. Location does have a Golds gym nearby (no kids club at that time) very convenient only a few minutes away. We did find some board games so that helped keep the kids entertained.

Beautiful Home

This was an amazing house! The was very very clean! It has all the modern appliances and furniture. Me and my family enjoyed our stay. This is an amazing property. When I go to El Paso Texas again, I will book this house if it's available. We enjoyed our stay so much, we stayed in extra day. The owner made it very convenient to do so. Also my son's mother and father in-law lives right around the corner and they walked to the house every day. We enjoyed every moment. I definitely recommend if you go to El Paso Texas to please stay at this property. You will enjoy your experience. Thank you Julia for everything!

This home was beautiful! The pictures really don’t do it justice. Everything was immaculate and the beds were super comfy. The location was perfect for us since we were visiting my son who’s Army base was a short distance away. I would definitely stay here again!

Excellent amenities and location

My colleagues and I were working temporarily at Ft. Bliss and needed a place where we could come home to and unwind for about 3 months. This was a perfect find as it really did feel like a home, close to a lot of stores and restaurants, safe for my female colleague to walk at night on her own, and close to the highway. Julia was also and excellent host and constantly checked in to make sure our stay continued to be excellent. 10/10 would say here again!

Eternally Grateful

We had to book this beautiful home at the last minute due to a family member passing. We have two children under 2. The property owner was extremely kind, understanding, respectful and responsive to all of our needs. This came at an extremely difficult time in our family’s life. We are humbled and truly grateful for our experience.

BEWARE! House of Horrors

Myself and 2 colleagues were in El Paso helping to fight COVID-19. We were working 14 hour days 6-7 days per week at the hospital and only basically only using this house to sleep and shower. None of us are from El Paso, we were flown in from all over the country to assist FEMA in fighting the virus. So when I read the last review that mentioned the cameras I was happy. I thought we’d be working long hours, many times one of us would be there alone if the others were working and this would be a great safety measure. Until I realized that the house was filled with listening devices, cameras, motion detectors that were not for safety but for stalking. If I had time to call the police on the owner I would have. (I literally was working 10 days straight at times). This was a terrifying experience. The owner also attempted to extort us. I asked her prior to renting if she offered any discount for front line workers. She said “No, but due to your unique circumstances I won’t charge you for extra guests.” There were 3 of us at the time so that is exactly what I put on the application. A 4th nurse came into town and spent one night as she looked for other housing. Keep in mind this is advertised as a 3 bedroom 3 full bath home that sleeps 8. I was not in town that night and the 4 of us have never stayed there at one time. Most times there were no more than 2 of us there at once. The owner messaged me asking me if someone else came there and I said yes. Then she said if we didn’t send her hundreds of dollars by midnight we had to be out by 10:30 am. We all were working 14 hour days so 3 nurses having to leave in the middle of their shift to get kicked out of temporary housing is unimaginable. The owner is scary. Clearly there’s a reason that this home isn’t listed on some of the other temporary housing sites. Beware. I never write reviews but I was compelled to write this one because the last person that described the camera situation didn’t make it clear enough. Who knows what she’s doing with all the footage. The monitoring devices we found were hidden. One was behind a mirror in the living room. One was under a bench. There are listening devices on multiple walls and motion devices in the corners. The house isn’t that nice that it requires that much surveillance so who knows what’s she’s doing with all of the footage. This was a true nightmare a total scam. We left early and let her keep the remaining money.

Desert Stay

We enjoyed our stay here. The house is nicely updated with large TVs and located in a quiet neighborhood not far from restaurants and hiking. We could get to anything in El Paso within 30-35 minutes. We would stay here again.

Calm and Spacious

Highly recommend a stay at Julia's place. As promised, the Poseidon House was spacious, clean, stylish, and comfortable. Julia was easy to communicate with and having keypad access made checking in and out a breeze. Many of the home features are ample in size including the master bedroom, common areas, and vaulted ceilings. The clean and crisp bedrooms are spaced away from each other for increased privacy and the backyard is tranquil and private. The entire place felt like a second home away from home.

Cameras on premises

If you want to be monitored like a child, this home is it. The home says up to 8 can be there but if you don’t disclose upfront, the owner will let you know ( via text) she is watching you on her cameras (installed in both front of home and in back of home). She needs to disclose the cameras so people can decide if they want to be spied on. Terrible experience.
