The house is big and open and really pretty. It needs some work on the inside and outside, but I'd stay again. Beds and baths are great. Pool is nice, not heated tho. We cooked, orderd in pizza, celebrated an engagement and visited the Caverns. Wonderful trip. Paz was very accommodating and easy to reach and chat with.

This house was a major disappointment. We arrived to find the first thing we see was a pile of garbage in the front yard near the road. In addition to the can being full, there were bags of garbage all around it. The house itself was very dirty.. There was mold everywhere in the showers and under the bathmats. Floors had not been cleaned in a long time. There were brown spots on the bedding. The blinds are missing slats, so there is no privacy. In the back bedroom, when you open the closet door it falls out (a major danger risk for children). Kitchen: dishwasher falls out of the cabinet space when you open the door. No dishwasher pods or soap. Not a single dishtowel anywhere. Sponges were all used (no new sponge). Very few pots/pans and all very small, so we had to buy some at the store. House sleeps 8, but only 6 chairs for dining room table. Breakfast room has no table or chairs The swimming pool was disgusting. You could not see even 12 inches down. Dead bird floating in the pool (and 3 more dead birds in the yard). Contacted the owner who connected us with the pool maintenance person. He couldn’t come until next day, so we were not able to use pool until late on the second day of our stay. The air conditioning unit went out on the side of the house with 3 bedrooms. The AC unit on the side with the master bedroom was working. There were no screens in the windows, so couldn’t open the windows in the evening. Ended up with people sleeping on floor in living room. I contacted the owner but it was a Sunday no A/C people could come out. A/C guy came Monday, but the part he needed was not available immediately. So, we had people sleeping on the floor for 2 nights. We decided to leave the next day. The owner did the best he could to resolve the issues with the A/C and swimming pool. He gave us a partial refund on our stay. His local person who helps him out with the house (Josh) was outstanding, and he tried his best to get things fixed for us. While the owner could not prevent the A/C problem, he clearly needs to manage this house more closely. All of the other things listed above (besides the AC problem) would have resulted in this being a VERY disappointing house. And the owner has total control of those things. The house was clearly neglected, and the owner needs to come spend a weekend in the house. 2-star rating is because owner showed concern and tried to fix things. Would be 1-star if not for him.

Renting was a breeze always quick to respond to questions and requests

Beautiful large house, quiet neighborhood. Perfect pool for the kids. Good communication with owner.

This was probably the best place we have ever rented. It was extremely well stocked, had so much space to spread out, and the pool was fantastic. My husband loved the coffee station. The kids loved the pool slide and lots of tv choices. My only suggestion would be to have a few more pool towels as there were only 4 provided.

The house was as advertised. Bathrooms are a bit dated and towels were on short supply. We were disappointed on the outdoor space, back yard, pool, and jacuzzi. It needs a good spring cleaning.

The home was amazing. Had plenty of space to entertain family from the area and the yard was perfect for the kids to run and have fun.

The accommodations were as advertised, and for a town the size of Carlsbad, the place was a good option. The common areas were clean and fantastic, very up to date. The guest bathrooms were a little dated and could be a little cleaner, but by no means unacceptable. The pool could use a cleaning, but really difficult in this area this time of year with all the dust, so totally understand the challenge. The host was VERY easy to work with and check in couldn't have been easier, and we really appreciated that aspect.

Had a fantastic time at this listing! Excellent communication from the host. Very responsive. Answered within minutes of any inquiry. House is spacious and thoughtfully decorated. Bed were extremely comfortable. Large dining table seats 6 and with extra chairs more. It was cool so we did not grill or eat on the patio but that was an option. Pool was clean and maintenance person came by once during stay just for routine maintenance. Hot tub worked for us (we just turned it on and off at the breaker as the keypad was a little glitchy). Quiet neighborhood south of town. In range for Instacart deliveries which we used several times for groceries. Would definitely stay again! Thank you Paz Cano for a lovely vacation! Points of interest nearby: Living Desert Zoo & Gardens north of town local plants and wildlife, Sitting Bull Falls hiking and beautiful picknick area, Calvani Pecan company - excellent pies and pecan gifts. If you have kids there’s a huge playground at the Pecos River Corridor Recreation Area and of course Carlsbad Caverns - go to their website to reserve an entry time ahead of arrival. During our stay it was sold out about 3 days in advance. Luckily we had reserved about a month ahead.

The house was clean and comfortable. I was looking forward to using the hot tub in the evenings but it was not working. The owner alerted us that it was not working while we were on our way there. I would have enjoyed the stay more if it had worked.

The home is sizable and the kitchen is large. The hot tub was not functioning and was not fixed while we were there. This was a major disappointment especially since it was not communicated to us before our arrival. We didn’t have enough towels or TP upon arrival. The owner did send someone to refill these items but she arrived an hour and a half later than expected. We requested additional utensils (3 forks total in home), but no additional utensils were available. Would not recommend.
