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!

Great place to stay in Albuquerque. We enjoyed every aspect of this clean and wonderful place. Do remember it's two story, so that could be a problem for some. If we are coming back to Albuquerque, we will definitely be checking with Alyce

This was the very first time we ever did VRBO And this experience exceeded my expectations. Alyce was wonderful to work with and her home was decorated in a Mexican Spanish style which we enjoyed very much. The outside patio selections were great. Everything you could think of or needed was supplied, and It really is home away from home. Will definitely be back! Thank you Alyce

Somewhat troubling
It was a good stay until all the owner really verbally let loose on me for bringing a dining room chair upstairs into one of the bedrooms and inadvertently forgetting to put the sheets on top of the washing machine. Additionally I took significant verbal abuse for ants in the backyard evidently due to a small Piece of food that dropped on the ground. Were it not for the verbal harassment, this would've been good. I was there attending an event with my church, and me and two other people from my church stayed there, so it's not like we had a party or anything.

Perfect Albuquerque Rental
Alyce’s house was ideal for our visit. We loved the location - easy walking distance to Old Town shops and restaurants and convenient to all of the rest of the area. The house was pretty, clean, and furnished with everything we could have asked for. The garage parking was a nice bonus. We will definitely stay here again when we return to Albuquerque!

Amazing house, amazing stay.
From start to finish, Alyce was a wonderful partner in our vacation to Albuquerque. Up-front communication and her text check-ins really showed she had a vested interest in our experience. The house, located 4 minutes from the BioPark and a block and a half from Old Town, was stunning. Thank you, Alyce for being a gracious host and providing such a wonderful property.

wonderful stay!
We loved our stay at Casa Pearla. It is an adorable, restful, well appointed place with a patio to enjoy the hummingbirds. The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked with some thoughtful gifts from our host. Excellent location, close to Old Town and Hotel Albequerque. Two car garage, washer dryer, 1.5 bathrooms. Communication with our host was timely and excellent. One of the best stays I have had in a VRBO! Thank you to our gracious host, and we hope to see you in 2026.

We had a great time exploring Albuquerque. Casa Pearla was located centrally and only took a few minutes to get to any of our intended destinations. The Casa is well appointed, comfortable beds, plenty of kitchen utensils, dishes, spices, paper products. Instructions were very clear and host Alyce was very responsive. Big thanks for the snacks that were left for us!

We had a wonderful time! The place is lovely and felt like home the minute we walked through the doors. Beautiful patio and lovely home. Clean, welcoming and the beds were super comfortable! Alyce was very communicative upon arrival and departing! She even gave some suggestions on things to do and see. You won’t be disappointed by booking this home. Great location as well. Easy walk to Old town. Thank you again!! Until next year. Teri and Doug K.

Home Away from Home
If you’re looking for a “home away from home” when in Albuquerque, then Casa Pearla is an ideal choice. The 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath house is clean, comfortable and well maintained. The private backyard is beautifully landscaped and has 3 distinct seating areas, so you can find either sun or shade most any time of the day. There is a 2-car garage that you have access to, so your car will be garage kept during your stay. In terms of location, the house is close to I-40 and within walking distance of the restaurants & shops in historic old town. A short 10-minute drive will get you to the UNM Campus area and all the shops, bars and restaurants you’d expect to see in a college town. It's also easy to see why Alyce is a Premier Host. We had very good and timely communication with her throughout our visit and she is very responsive if you reach out to her. Keeping with the theme of “home away from home,” Alyce goes beyond providing “just the basics.” When we arrived, there were some light snacks and water bottles in the fridge for our use. The towels are nice, thick and absorbent and there was Charmin toilet paper in the bathrooms (not the super thin stuff you see in most hotels or other VRBO’s). Alyce also provided some wood for the firepit out back and there’s a step stool in the kitchen so you can reach upper cabinets. All told, this was the nicest VRBO we’ve stayed in. Don’t have a second thought if the dates are available during your visit.

Completely lovely
Alyce's place is beautiful, inside and out. I wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the outside space. The bed was extremely comfortable and everything about the apartment was delightful. Alyce had put out some coffee and nice snacks which was great since our flight got in late, and that helped us get started in the morning. If we had had a chance to cook, there were spices and oils and vinegars which would have helped us make a nice meal. All in all, my husband and I rate this apartment as the best short term rental we have ever stayed at.

A sweet, comfortable house with a great location
My youngest daughter and I stayed at Casa Pearla. My daughter will be living in Albuquerque for the summer, and we wanted to visit before she moved. Casa Pearla was perfect for us! Old Town is a short walk as well as the BioPark and a coffee & bagel shop we fell in love with. The house is adorable and very comfortable. We truly loved the outdoor space and spent many hours out there reading, talking and relaxing. Plus the house has a garage! We loved being able to park our car in the garage instead of in the driveway or on a street. Alyce was great. She checked in on us during our stay and made us feel very welcome. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it!

Perfectly located, immaculate, comfortable house. Well furnished with incredible art and delightful garden. Many small touches including snacks. Well appointed kitchen.
