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!

The Turtle House was a great option for us. We don't rent homes often, but this was an easy prosess with a great 3 bedroom property. Lots of natural light with a great backyard sitting area. Thankyou for including amenities like coffee and charcoal for the bbq.We will definitely plan to stay here again.

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!

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!
