Casa Excellente - Great house for up to 16 guests

We loved the location to attractions in the area including Carlsbad Park. The beds were very comfortable. House had a few quirks but the value is definitely there.

If you are looking for a place to sleep the beds are comfy. If you have a dust allergy this isnt the place for you. There is lots of dust throughout the home on baseboards and the tvs and such. There were all the appliances and if you have a baby they provide a pack n play.

Very disappointed, we arrived late at night. We noticed that there was no power to the Sun room for the ceiling fan and lights. It wasn't till the morning that we noticed that some of the bedding wasn't clean, bathroom towels were stained, and ragget. Bathrooms were not cleaned. The backyard jungle jim was not safe for my grandkids to play on, and you can tell that no yard work had been done. The bbq grill was dirty and not maintained. It had rained and the patio cover was leaking. Overall house and property needs a lot of work. This property would be a nice place to stay if upkeep and repairs have been taken care of.

The property was as listed and comfortable for 3 families. However, the kitchen appliances did not work very well. The fridge and freezer temps were low. The freezer did not keep our food frozen and the oven was very slow cooking. The keurig machine did not work (we tried many different outlets bc it looked brand new) but the regular coffee pot worked just fine. If you plan to eat out for most meals then there shouldn't be a problem. There was also no hand soap in any of the bathrooms when we checked in. The host sent a message checking in on things and I mentioned the soap - it was waiting for us at our door on the day we checked out. Overall the stay was good, but just be prepared and bring everything you might need.

Well in general the house is ok, it could definitely use a little TLC and some basics. There are maybe a total of 4 wash cloths and the it says 16 guests can stay here. Definitely a problem. The soaps in both bathrooms are 90% water because they have been empty so long. The kitchen is lacking for actually cooking a meal. The house is doable but I would say most definitely overpriced for quality and the state of disrepair things are in. The owners might want to give this house some attention.

The host was quick to address a plumbing issue. Would definitely recommend this place.

We had a great time here. This house comfortably slept all eleven of us. Great location in a quiet neighborhood!

First night was dropped because the venue had not been cleaned. Property manager got it fixed, next day was ready for occupation. Nice place, good location, Best of intentions, miscommunication to the cleaners, a small blemish on a a great stay. We will return, Carlsbad NM is a recurring visit.

This home was fairly priced and worked well to sleep the amount of people we had. Beds and couches were comfortable. Large TVs in every room. Great Mexican restaurant down the street. Upon arrival the front door lock box was broken, so for the entire long weekend we were told to enter through the back door. Once we entered the property there was a horrible smell in the kitchen. When I opened the dishwasher there was stagnant rotting black water in the bottom that smelled horrible. I discovered that the drain line for the dishwasher was not properly installed, had no sign gap or brought up high enough before discharging into disposal. Because of this waste water was allowed to drain backwards and collect in the dishwasher. We ended up just hand washing all of our dishes. The ice maker in the fridge is broken and a real bummer if you are wanting to feel you water bottles up with ice water before going hiking. There was only one dish rag or towel in the kitchen for us to use. Patio furniture was dusty and previous guests cigarette butts we’re on the ground. The home is older so just expect quirky things. The sliding barn door into the bunk room has the handle installed incorrectly and smashes into the wall. Multiple kids ended up smashing their fingers because of this unsafe door. Toilets not installed securely and rock when sitting on them. Both bathrooms had hair in the floor on arrival. No drain stopper for tub. Loose shower valve handles. Overall it was a good value and we just needed a place to sleep. But next time we venture to Carlsbad I will probably look for different accommodations.

Was a beautiful house and we all loved it.. Can’t wait to reserve it again..

The house was nice and spacey. Owner was responsive.
