CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT DETAILS Easy self-check-in with a digital smart lock. Check in after 4 PM and check out by 10 AM. General checkout procedures are to lock the doors, close the windows, leave dishes clean or at least in the dishwasher, and leave used beds undone and used towels in the floor. Generally tidy up the place and leave it the way you found it. Nothing too complex :)
There is a train crossroad (not super nearby) and you may occasionally hear the train horn at night.
The game room is in a detached garage that faces the backyard pool area, feel free to open the rollout door to enjoy and get some fresh air!
The staircases are steep, and the head clearance is from 1900s standards which means that a tall person can bump their head. Watch out!
Fun fact: The main house has 3 staircases. The second staircase in the kitchen goes to the same second floor as the main staircase because, back in the early 1900s, staff was not allowed to use the main staircase, so they built a separate one from the kitchen. The third one is to get to the finished attic where the air hockey table is located.
While you're here to enjoy the desert vibes, we also want to make you aware of the local wildlife that calls this area home. We've seen birds, mice, spiders, skunks and other critters at the property. Although we have not seen them at the property, there are snakes in the nearby trails, be careful while exploring and have fun!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a fireplace.

Desert Oasis
The house was beautiful, spacious, and clean. The kids barely left the pool, and when they did it was just to play foosball. Everybody loved hanging out on the top floor balcony, gazing at the stunning mountains and observing the neighborhood below.

Very comfortable stay
We really enjoyed staying at Monarco. We used the pool everyday. There was plenty of space. It was nice to have a washer and dryer and small kitchen appliances, like a toaster and blender. We found some saucer sleds and wax for White Sands right before we headed out. The host was responsive to our one need during our stay. My 8 year old daughter wanted to stay forever. Would definitely recommend to anyone traveling to the area.

This is a beautiful home and our family had a wonderful stay. Everything is as it seems in the listing. It is an old house, so it has it's quirks. But the home was very comfortable for all 12 of us. The only feedback I would give is that guests do like to have the option of TV at night before sleep. TVs are so affordable these days, having a TV in a few of the rooms would be a nice ammentiy. And perhaps lounge chairs outside to sun bathe. Otherwise the house is perfect to host large families for their stay. Thank you!

Thanksgiving
Loved the charm and character of this house! Two staircases added extra fun. Everyone arrived at different times and we had no problems getting settled in. The sun room was a favorite room to go to for some quiet time. The kids loved going to the game room in the back. We never got around to using the fire pit but I’m sure it would have been so fun and relaxing. The kitchen was well stocked with spices. Not sure if the hosts went out of their way for that since I mentioned that we were meeting up for Thanksgiving dinner. Any problems we had, the owner was quick to respond. The location was so convenient to the quaint downtown area and Lowe’s grocery store. All within a two to three block walk. There were plenty of games to keep the kids engaged inside the house, too. Maybe some plastic bowls for kids to use but not a big problem. Cleaning supplies, laundry tablets, trash bags and toilet paper were well stocked. I would definitely recommend this house. I’m thinking it would be an awesome place to stay in the summer to get more use of the outdoor space, including the pool.

Great house for family fun
The kitchen was well stocked, and the board games, air hockey, ping pong, pool, and other fun items from the listing were all as advertised. We especially enjoyed the pool, fire pit, and large TV where we watched movies together after a day out exploring. The house is < 30 minutes from White Sands national park, Lincoln National Forest, and the Cloudcroft ski resort, so while Alamagordo itself isn't a great tourist spot and the neighborhood the house is in isn't very nice, it is very well located for day trips, you get a lot of space for the money, and we never felt unsafe.
