About this property

Amazing Location steps from Historic Old Town, Museums and Restaurants

Incredible find! Location Location Location. Casa Pearla is a comfy, cozy private two bedroom, 1 1/2 bath, two story townhouse with RARE two car garage located one street off Route 66 between historic Old Town and the gorgeous old Albuquerque Country Club area. Restaurants, shops and museums are less than a quarter mile away and the very popular food court in Sawmill is close too! About 1/2 mile West of Casa Pearla is our wonderful Albuquerque BioPark, Tingley Beach and the running/biking trails along the Bosque. Court houses, downtown, UNM and area hospitals are a quick 5 minute drive away.

Guests says Casa Pearla is their home away from home. The space is light-filled with stylish and comfortable furnishings, a smart TV, free WIFI, a well stocked kitchen with gas stove, dishwasher and refrigerator, a full sized washer and dryer, iron and ironing board with a half bathroom downstairs and a full sized private bathroom upstairs. Outside is a welcomining covered back patio, verdant side yard with roses bushes and a walled front court yard

Upstairs are the two bedrooms (1 queen/1 full) and full bath. The beds have luxury linens and memory foam mattresses that guests rave about! A great bonus is fabulous terrace off the second bedroom complete with a traditional hanging rista with little solar twinkle lights. The shared bathroom has a vanity with two sinks, a bathtub/shower combo and a large skylight that bathes the space in natural light. Soaps, shampoos and fluffy towels await and there is a hair dryer and even some first aid items too, just in case.

Often overlooked but so, so important comfort-wise is the air conditioning, I upgraded the air conditioning to central air instead of the common evaporative cooling that is still commonly used in Albuquerque (which necessitates cracking open a window to cool a room yikes! and can only lower temps by about 20-25 degrees). Another bonus at Casa Pearla is the two car garage. How convenient to be able to load and unload your luggage while keeping your belongings secure!.

Finally, it is important to me that my guests are comfortable while making many wonderful memories in Albuquerque staying at Casa Pearla. I invite you and look forward to the many return visitors and welcome new guests as well!

We truly loved our 3 week stay at Casa Perla. The condo is beautifully decorated with all the amenities necessary for a long stay. Perfect location for getting around all of Albuquerque and only a day trip to Taos and Santa Fe. We loved Old Town, especially Church St Cafe. Try the Prickly Pear Margarita! Thank you Alyce for being such a thoughtful host. We thoroughly enjoyed the wine, snacks and fresh flowers. Extra bonus an attached garage! We highly recommend

Casa Pearla was PERFECT for our ABQ vacation. Its proximity to the central plaza in Old Town meant that great food, shops, and culture were just a walk away. The home itself was lovely. The host provided thoughtful touches to make us feel welcome. The kitchen was well appointed and the beds were comfortable. All around a great experience. Will stay here again!

House was adorable-especially loved the very tasteful decorating style with warm colors, textiles, art and some whimsical touches. The welcome basket provided had everything we needed to launch our stay; coffee, snacks, etc. well supplied for everything including a wonderful fire pit all set up outside. Host checked in throughout our stay to make sure we had everything we needed! Amazing!

Hits the sweet spot along the price value axes. Well decorated, well appointed kitchen. Some really nice touches like excellent coffee, cookies provided, nice art and some good books……very welcoming. Great to be within walking distance of old town. I’ve been to ABQ five times, and this is the best place I’ve stayed. Would definitely book here again. Reasonable price, great value.

This home and the owner are one of the best VRBO’s we have stayed with. Home is very cozy and decorated really nice. Outdoor patio is a really nice bonus. The owner couldn’t have been nicer and had several helpful items waiting for us upon arrival. Communication was fantastic and fast. We will for sure stay here again.

Casa Pearla exceeded expectations. Our family loved how close it was to so many things to see in Albuquerque and close to major highways for longer trips in the area. We are already planning when we can come back. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us.

The property was just as described. Check in/out process so super easy. Location for our particular trip was amazing. Within walking distance of everything. If we had to say anything for improvement it would be about cobwebs on lamps (I'm a big spider baby, and a few hairs on floor rugs in bathrooms.Would so come back and enjoy this lovely location again FOR SURE!Thank you to Alyce for the check in with us to make sure we didn't need anything. (1st time that has happened) 5 stars for you and your property.

Wonderful stay within a very short walk to Old Town, location was amazing! Great space, quiet and clean. Beds were comfy, good water pressure in shower. Kitchen was well equipped. Cozy living room space. Nice outdoor patio space. Great communication from host for check in and check out. Highly recommend High Noon for dinner, food was delicious and they have the BEST margaritas - freshly made, no yucky bottled mixes! Also, Church Street Cafe had an amazing breakfast, and I would think their dinner is fabulous as well. 10/10!

About the host

Hosted by Alyce Martin

Host profile image
I'm Alyce, a NM Native and I've lived in Albuquerque since the early 80's. I'm a semi-retired real estate broker and I enjoy doing interiors, landscaping, reading technical, nerdy stuff and making art and music.

Why they chose this property

I LOVE this property. I bought it in March 2018 from a sweet little old guy who just wanted to get back to Oklahoma. It was in good shape but had very little personality so I set out looking for little treasures that would make it feel homey and reflect the area. I reconfigured the landscaping, put in a watering system, rebricked the patio, bought new appliances, took down some heavy drapes, redid countertops, added refrigerated air, painted the garage and retiled the bathrooms and kitchen. I've loved every minute of it. I feel like I have the good bones down and will be adding even more improvements from time to time. I named this property after my dear mother, Pearl, who passed away March, 2017. She would definiitely approve.

What makes this property unique

Besides location, a great thing about Casa Pearla is the 2 car garage!! This is a rare perk for a vacation rental and is a definite plus that you can store gear and park your car in a secured space overnight rather than on the street in an unfamiliar city.

Another perk Casa Pearla has that a lot of other rentals do not is the air conditioning. In NM, because our air is so dry, we typically use swamp coolers which cools using water soaked pads. Wherever you want the house cool, you need to crack open a window which to me would a scary thing to have to do staying in a strange city. Also with swamp coolers you don't have the option of heating the house while cooling so if we have a cold snap there is no heat and you freeze, or vice versa, hot days, no cool. SO...I made a major capital improvement investment and installed REFRIGERATED AIR. Now, guests can be comfortable year round no matter the weather. Believe me, it's a thing.
