The house was great! The hosts stayed on top of updates, keeping us informed and sending timely reminders about check-in and property access. The views from the back porch were amazing, especially in the mornings and evenings. I would recommend staying here.

Convenient to Town

This was a quick drive to the main street with shops and restaurants. We had an issue with no heat when we first arrived and they responded and handled it immediately. The condo is a bit tired and could use some new bedding and pillows, but is affordably priced and fit our needs!

It was a decent place and good area. Found a few unclean items along with some broken ones. I was grossed out by the maggot on the towel. Other then that a good place to stay.

Had fun

It’s in a great location there’s plenty of room barbecue pit kitchen. Everything was great. The foosball table on the pool table are a little out of date so I wouldn’t plan that being the main attraction but all in all it was what it said it was and it’s in a great location every restaurant everything we did was in 10 to 15 minutes Would definitely stay there again. There was a complaint about the beds, but we slept fine.

Nice place

Overall the property was good and staff very responsive to messages. The location is great, I will say the condo itself is a little dated and could definitely use some renovations to modernize. Be prepared to hear everyone above you and below and next door as the walls are seemingly thin. No other complaints, despite the age of the condos I would still recommend.

Nice Condo

The condo is exactly how it looks in the photos. It is a little out dated, but that was also part of the reason for picking this place as it is not as fancy as others in the complex. The carpets are dingy and a couple of chairs were broken (stool at the upstairs bar and patio chair outside) but those things did not deter us from having a pleasant stay. The location is great with awesome views. Easily accessible for hiking, close to the river and walking distance to local tourist areas on the main drag. The pool at the condo was a huge bonus.

The view and location are good.

The online photos are old and do not depict the current conditions. We enjoyed the balcony with beautiful views. The appliances, plumbing and electricity worked very well except for the minor issue with the dishwasher. The dishwasher soap pods need to be tossed into the dishwasher just prior to running it, otherwise the pods stick to the dispenser and don't release the soap. One of the TVs did not work and was not hooked up for service. We did not use the grill. The owner of the property is very nice, attentive and helpful. We were impressed with the ample amount of kitchen dishes, pots, pans, small and large appliances. We did not meet the property manager but with a long list of requests, only 2 were addressed by employees before our week stay ended. Way too much of family time was wasted on fixing or adjusting for the other problems that were not addressed. The pool table edges are brittle and the darts need replacements. We strongly suggest taking your own pillows and possibly your own blankets. No one in the family found the beds comfortable! We felt the mattresses and box springs need replacement as well as the worn out and dirty pillows. After we washed a couple of the bedspreads and blankets, then they were acceptable. There are only a few hours between renters for the cleaning crew(s) to attend the rentals. This is a 3 story condo that could be great again with timely maintenance and sufficient cleaning time. Prior water damage to the walls.

We had a great stay here overall but we did notice all the pans were dirty, left with old food on them from the last time they were used and the pictures advertised a balcony with a view but when we arrived the door leading out had been dead bolted locked and had the lock removed so it was not accessible.

Loved this town home setup for two families! Plenty of space, lots of fun with the game room and sparkling community pool. Can't beat morning coffee on the balcony with great views of Sierra Blanca, and the convenience of being just a few blocks from downtown. Would definitely stay here again!
