Not quite what we expected
I don’t normally give reviews that aren’t excellent but this house was not what we were expecting after reading the reviews. We had to go buy a can opener as the kitchen wasn’t well outfitted at all.. Pots and pans in terrible condition. Hard to see to cook as microwave light didn’t work and ceiling light was dim. Couldn’t take a shower at night in the en-suite bathroom as the light was burnt out. Has a hole in the wall above the taped off medicine cabinet. Blinds all over the house are cheap and were in very bad shape. Duvet on bed had stains, ick. The neighborhood feels sketchy but is close to the grocery store.

Wonderful house. In the middle of town, easy access to anywhere you wanted to go. Very comfy beds. Took our ATVs and had enough parking. The house was a little dusty but otherwise clean.

Nice house
The house was very nice on the inside, although it somehow felt like it wasn’t quite complete. Nothing major, just not quite what I’ve experienced previously with VRBO. It could use a bit more privacy from the neighbors, probably some landscaping would help. The location was convenient to stores and restaurants. It was spacious and comfortable enough for 6 people.

Family Adventure
If you are looking to visit the National Park and other things in the area this was a great house and location. It is the desert so nothing is close, but this was centrally located for everything we did. And, we loved that it was an older home.

A Nice Home
The home was clean, comfortable, and quiet. The kitchen was well supplied. The bedrooms were nicely decorated, and the beds and bedding were comfortable. The master bath was convenient but tiny with a toilet, sink and shower. The second bathroom was spacious and had a tub with a shower faucet with plenty of counter and cabinet space. There was a large dining table and living room. The washer and dryer came in handy. However we were surprised that the bedroom closets were locked and used for storage space. We were unable to hang clothing we’d brought for a memorial service. The blinds in every bedroom were in poor condition and provided little privacy. There was no window covering on the window of the back kitchen door. We would return to this property if closets were made available for hanging clothes and the blinds were replaced. It was overall a nice property.

National Park Base Camp
This home served as a great base camp for traveling to both Carlsbad Caverns as well as Guadalupe Mountain NP. The home was spacious for a family of 4 and had plenty of amenities. Grocery store was only a few minutes away and the neighborhood was quiet.

Comfy in Carlsbad
We had a great stay at Casa Rustica in Carlsbad, NM. Everything was just as described, and we would stay here again. We left an expensive item behind and the owner was great at communicating with us, and allowing us into the house a couple of days later to retrieve the item. The owner offered to ship the item for us, but someone in our party was in the area and the item was left just where we asked them to leave it.

Short Stay while passing through
On a National Park tour of the Southwest. Stayed here two nights while driving in, touring Carlsbad Caverns and then heading out. House was everything as stated on the listing. Was nice to have the comforts of home while on this trip. Had trouble with getting the internet working and Shawn was very responsive and worked hard and quickly to help get it resolved during our stay.

Great stay near Carlsbad Caverns
This was a great place for our group of 3 while visiting Carlsbad Caverns. The park was a little more than half an hour away. Great restaurants and grocery store nearby. House was exactly as described. The neighborhood is a little run down, but we felt safe and all was quiet at night.

Perfect location to National Parks
This rental was exactly what we were looking for! Very well updated on the inside with so much space for a small family gathering. 30 min from Carlsbad Caverns and 45 from Guadalupe Mountains. Plenty of to go food options with a grocery store just blocks away. The surrounding homes of the property appear just a bit run down but the neighborhood couldn’t be more quiet. And the sun room at the front of the house is a perfect place for morning coffee. Lovely place to stay!
