Staying at Fenix Azul was a great resting place and launch pad for our explorations of the NM area. Close to Santa Fe and surrounding areas, we were able to take in art, jewelry, museums, botanical gardens, ancient cliff dwellings, hikes and eat some amazing food! In our downtime, we felt like we were separated from all the hustle and bustle and loved watching the sun rise and set in our backyard. The skies were great for stargazing! Catherine went out of her way to be helpful and make it a one-of-a-kind experience. If I'm in the area again, I would not hesitate to stay here again!

This could not have been a more perfect place for our small group of women to stay for a 4-day Santa Fe adventure together. The house was extremely comfortable, clean, and a super easy 20-minute commute into Santa Fe each day. We liked getting back out into the majestic countryside at the end of each day where it was quiet and peaceful. Our weather was a bit rainy, so we didn't get to enjoy the stars as much as we hoped, but we'll be back. And when we come back, we'll most certainly stay at Fenix Azul again.

Fenix Azul was an exceptional place to stay during our trip to Santa Fe. The decor and furniture is so lovely and lends a perfect Southwest flavor to the experience. The location is great if you want to be in nature but still be within driving distance to town. It was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. We would highly recommend this house to someone visiting Santa Fe.

Clean and peaceful

Fenix Azul was such an outstanding rental. Clean, quiet, peaceful, and comfortable, the rental provided a lovely home base for a girls weekend in Santa Fe. The views were gorgeous, the beds comfy, and the house both well supplied and well appointed. We’d definitely stay again.

Home-away-home in the heart of nature near a world-class city

We were delighted with our stay at Fenix Azul. The home is thoughtfully appointed with what is needed to make it our home away from home. Then there is the setting at the western end of the Eldorado neighborhood - wow! It is hard to find quiet and dark like this in a development so close to a world-class city - with awesome vistas and hiking just outside your door. We'll be back!

Great place outside of town with privacy and great views. We enjoyed a relaxing stay and would return again. Host was very quick to respond and easy to communicate with before and during our stay. Appreciate the comfortable and sufficient accommodations for our multiple day stay. We enjoyed nearby attractions but made sure to have time to rest on site.

Comfortable and Charming

We enjoyed our 4 night stay here. We found everything comfortable and clean. Cute little kitchen/sitting area with lovely views out the big windows. Didnt use the outside deck because it was too cold but it looked very inviting. Instructions were clear and good communication with the host. A great stay. Thank you!

Adorable, beautiful, clean

Well stocked, thoughtful amenities, comfortable beds. The scenery and landscaping were beautiful. We could see stars forever, and Milky Way was perfectly clear in the pitch dark night sky. The host made things easy as well. Most importantly, it was clean!!!
