Our ABQ Treasure

I cannot say one thing negative about our stay in this single-family dwelling (with a golf course between us and the Sandia Mountains). We loved the views and the outdoor amenities for enjoying them. The lush grass out back was a welcome surprise and my little blind dog was in heaven. Inside appointments are just as noteworthy and thoughtfully chosen. We all slept good! Balloons aloft greeted us each morning and birdsong serenaded us 24/7. While proximity to the interstate did concern me going in, we found the neighborhood stable, quiet, and convenient. The property owner was accessible, welcoming, and very helpful! Since we visit ABQ regularly, this will be an "away home" for us again.

Excellent Property

Fantastic property, fantastic views of the Sandia Mountains. Property was super clean and very relaxing. It’s close to everything in Albuquerque. We saw hot air balloons every morning. We would absolutely stay here again!

Oasis in the desert

This was a lovely home base during the Balloon Fiesta. Shariesse was a fabulous host. She left games and puzzles out for our family and checked in to see if we needed anything. The house has beautiful golf course views and plenty of outside spaces to enjoy the quiet scenery. The bedrooms were comfortable, and the living spaces are incredibly comfortable and cozy.

Great location

My family stayed in this home for 4 nights and we loved it. It is in a great location. Easy to get to Old Town and Downtown. Not too far from Meow Wolfe, Chimayo, the Fire and Ice cave, or even some of Route 66. Shariesse, our host, left toys out for the young one we were with, and she had a blast. The kitchen had plenty of utensils, cups, plates, and cookware. We enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful Work Getaway

I was super grateful to find this gem near my friends house. I was able to have my own space filled with considerate amenities, great views, and amazing host hospitality. I will definitely be interested in coming back again and working while visiting my friend!

Perfect Spring Break

This property was perfect for my families spring break getaway! Shariesse was so great about communicating early after booking as well as during the trip! This home was beautiful and we felt safe the entire time. Not to mention the beautiful mountain views 😍! I will definitely stay here again if we make our way back! 10 outta 10!

Visit to grandkids

This is a lovely property with a great view. The home was cozy and stocked with all necessary items. We loved the local coffee left by Shariesse and Phyllis. More importantly the hosts were generous with their personal grandchildren items and left the house stocked with toys for our grandkids...including outdoor toys to play with in the BEAUTIFUL backyard.

Beautiful view and all the comforts.

We so enjoyed our stay despite the heat wave. Chariesse' s house is filled with lovely details making it so comfortable. We especially loved the back yard overlooking the golf course and beautiful views. The pheasants and their babies and all the other birds that visited the bird feeder were a delight. We will definitely come back when we're in the area and will recommend it to any friends visiting Albuquerque.

Perfect oasis for our vacation

This house is everything that is advertised and more. Shariesse went above and beyond as a host from the initial phone call after booking to the welcoming gifts and recommendations on restaurants and things to do. It was centrally located to everything we wanted to do…hot air ballooning, Breaking Bad tour, museums, Sandia Peak. Beautiful wildlife was fun to watch both in the yard and on the golf course. We had a wonderful week.

Perfect Location

Ladera West is a beautiful and comfortable home with a fabulous location! We were in town for the collegiate national road races and this home was near the races and it backs up to a beautiful golf course with amazing views of the mountains! Coffee in the morning on the lovely patio with all the birds was so relaxing. The views are even better from the patio upstairs off the master. The kitchen is fully stocked for cooking. The hosts even checked in with us before hand and left out a bunch of wonderful games. We had such a wonderful stay!

Kickin' Back in Albuquerque

The property was comfortable, well appointed, and very well maintained. With views overlooking the golf course with the Sandia Mountains in the background, we spent considerable time on the patio or glued to large windows, watching the abundance of wildlife and time go by as we had our morning coffee or evening cocktails. The hostess, Shariesse, is very friendly and easily available to help with anything about the home, or even recommendations about where to adventure or eat. The home is also convenient to a wide range of services and stores (including the grocery), and has easy access to the interstate, which makes auto sightseeing very easy. We would definitely stay at this home when in Albuquerque again!

The Perfect House!

This house is the best VRBO we’ve ever stayed in, and we’ve stayed in a lot! It’s super cute, beautifully decorated, and the owners literally thought of everything! We didn’t need a thing during our stay and there were even little surprises left around the house for us! I actually ended up ordering several things they have in this house on Amazon for my own house! We felt very safe here and the view is absolutely stunning! Sharie was super communicative and made sure she understood our needs and that everything went smoothly. It’s very easy access to I-40 and lots of restaurants around. We will be staying here every time we come back, if it’s available!

Magnificent Get Away with Views Galore!

This is the BEST VRBO we have ever stayed at. Our hostess,Shariesse, literally thought of everything to ensure our comfort and enjoyment. The back yard has gorgeous mountain views and sunsets and sunrises are splendid. We saw balloons every morning!! The bird feeder becomes a riot of birds including gambrel quails. So much fun to watch. There are many resource materials available on things to see/do in the home as well as games, televisions, etc. Shariesse also left a welcome gift of hatch chilis, wine and ice cream. She checked in with us to make sure all was good. Wonderful place, wonderful lady.

Beautiful home with so many extras

We had a wonderful stay at this property! The house is immaculate and our hostess Shariesse added so many extras that made it better than home. From the coffee bar to high end pillows and toiletries, it felt like being at a five star resort. When Shariesse heard we would be coming in late, she came over and turned the outside lights on so we could find the house in the dark. We were welcomed with a beautiful bouquet of flowers which made us feel very special! Shariesse checked on us to ensure we did not need anything and she was always available. Watching the hot air balloons float over the golf course while enjoying a morning coffee was so relaxing and special. If we find ourselves back in Albuquerque I would not stay anywhere else!

Perfect Place!

My husband and I spent 10 days in this beautiful home. The new kitchen is absolutely gorgeous. The home is comfortable, convenient, and offered everything we could desire. Morning coffee on the deck outside the bedroom, evenings on the patio, a fully stocked kitchen, everything clean and neat. We could not have been more comfortable. Working with Shariesse was wonderful. She provided us with "insider" details about the area. She was available to direct us or answer questions. Shariesse is a true ambassador for New Mexico. Her passion for the area comes through in all of her conversations and suggestions. We plan to return to Albuquerque and look forward to another stay at this property.

Albuquerque hospitality at its finest

We cannot say enough wonderful things about this beautiful home - Shariesse and her mother Phyllis are the quintessential hosts - we have stayed in the best hotels and inns around the world and never have we met two more gracious hosts nor a more fully appointed residence. This did not feel like a rental - it truly felt like good friends were loaning us their home. The location on the Ladera Golf Course was ideal, especially for early morning balloon sightings. We are not sure we want to rave TOO much about this lovely property because we are concerned that it will become so popular that it will not be available the next time we want to rent it! :-). Truly, we enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend El Tesoro de Alma to anyone who wants to have a comfortable, clean, well furnished and fully stocked vacation home. We rate it 6 stars out of 5, and we look forward to returning soon.

Summer getaway

My husband and I needed a getaway from the Arizona heat. We required a house that accepted pets as we brought our dog. This house fit all our needs. It was clean, comfortable and WELL stocked with everything we could ever need. The backyard overlooks a golf course and several times we saw hot air balloons land there. Very cool. Being high desert many yards do not have grass. This yard has a very lush lawn in the back which was a treat for humans and dog alike, coming from the mostly grassless desert of Scottsdale. The owner was friendly and very attentive to our needs/comfort. One of my pet peeves when renting homes is the list of “chores” that the owner requires the renters to complete before checking out. I wonder why I pay a hefty cleaning fee if I have to wash sheets, empty the trash, etc. The owner of this home left no such instructions! Of course we tidied up before we left, but it was because we wanted to, not because we were told to. There is a large off leash dog park within walking distance, and a park with basketball and tennis not to far away. Most everything else we did required a hop onto the freeway, and while it was not too far from the home it was less convenient to restaurants/activities than I had hoped. Overall we were happy with our choice and would recommend this property.
