House in Alamogordo, NM
Reasons to book
About this house rental
This is an older home with genuine character, and it`s priced to reflect that. While we maintain it carefully for a comfortable stay, please don`t expect a five-star resort experience — expect a clean, well-kept home with some natural wear that comes with age. Again, this home does have wear and tear.

There`s a moment on the dunes at White Sands when the light turns gold and the gypsum goes pink, and your whole group just stops talking. Fifteen minutes later you`re pulling into the driveway of this home, shaking sand out of your shoes on the patio, lighting the grill, and watching the dog sprint laps around a fully fenced yard while the Sacramento Mountains fade to purple. That`s a New Mexico vacation done right — and this is the home that makes it easy.
A layout built for real groups
This clean, comfortable two-bedroom sleeps four with a configuration that punches well above its size. The primary bedroom features a king bed with its own attached private bathroom — a genuine rarity among two-bedroom rentals in Alamogordo, where sharing a single bath is the norm. The second bedroom offers two twin beds, perfect for children, a pair of friends, or two colleagues traveling together who`d prefer their own space. A second full bathroom serves the rest of the home, meaning two full baths for four guests and zero morning bottlenecks.
The fenced yard changes the trip
For anyone traveling with a dog, this is the deciding feature. The backyard is fully fenced and private — no leashes, no early-morning walks into the desert wind, just an open door and a safe place to run. Pets are welcome for $80 per pet. Outside you`ll also find comfortable patio furniture and a grill, ideal for green chile burgers and cold drinks after a long day on the dunes. The driveway offers generous off-street parking for multiple vehicles, so bring the truck, the second car, or the gear trailer without a second thought.
Everything you need inside
Great WiFi runs throughout the home for streaming, video calls, or working remotely. The living room is anchored by a smart TV, the kitchen includes a coffee machine with coffee provided, and there`s an in-unit washer and dryer that turns a week-long stay into a comfortable one. Shampoo, conditioner, and body soap are stocked and waiting. The home is clean, well cared for, and set in a quiet residential neighborhood — exactly the kind of place you want to come back to at the end of a long day.
Your Alamogordo basecamp — 88310
The location is the whole point. White Sands National Park — the largest gypsum dune field on earth — is roughly 15 minutes west. The New Mexico Museum of Space History sits minutes from the front door, and Holloman Air Force Base is just west of town. Add McGinn`s Pistachio Land, Alameda Park Zoo, and the alpine escape of Cloudcroft and Lincoln National Forest less than an hour up the mountain, and you have a week`s worth of trip without ever driving far.
This home converts best for families exploring the dunes, White Sands and Southwest road-trippers, pet owners who are tired of being turned away, military families and TDY travelers connected to Holloman AFB, and contractors or extended-stay guests who need laundry, a full kitchen, and room to park. Between the king suite with its private bath, the two full bathrooms, the fenced yard, and a national park fifteen minutes away, the case for booking here over anything else nearby makes itself.
House Rules
No smoking inside the home. Smoking is permitted outdoors only, and all cigarette butts must be properly disposed of. No parties or events at any time. This is a quiet residential property, and we ask that guests respect the neighbors who live here year-round.
Guests have full private access to the entire home. The host communicates remotely and is always available when needed — quick to respond, easy to reach, never in your way. Lock in your dates, load up the car, and go see the white sands.
Please note that you will be required to purchase VRBO`s $89 insurance policy after your booking is confirmed.
