Sandia Heights #1 rental

Nestled in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains this newly remodeled home is the perfect location for your stay in Albuquerque. Views of the mountain and city lights can be seen from both patios of the home. Located just off Tramway Blvd and Paseo Del Norte this home provides easy access to the many nearby sites. The 'World's Longest Tram' is basically in your backyard. Enjoy a spectacular ride to the top of the mountain where a day of skiing or hiking awaits you or just take a ride to enjoy a fine dining experience at High Finance Restaurant. If you are wanting a more casual dining experience, I recommend the Mexican restaurant at the base of the tram which offers a spectacular view from the patio. Enjoy a mango margarita while viewing a spectacular New Mexico sunset.

If you are feeling lucky only a few more minutes down the hill you will find Sandia Resort and Casino offers the largest gaming facility in the state. The resort features a top rated golf course, spa facilities, restaurants, live entertainment and dancing. Don't forget to check out the buffalo that you can see from the road on the way down.

If you are wanting to get some exercise mountain bikes are available upon request. The bike trail is only a minute away. Don't be surprised if you pass some quail or 'beep-beep' there goes a road runner.

Forgot some essentials? A new CVS pharmacy is two minutes away. Other close by shopping includes Alberston's, Trader Joes, Barnes and Nobles, Target, and Kohls.

Once your day is complete you can relax in contemporary southwestern flair. Our home provides a spacious living area with hardwood floors and high ceilings that feature famous New Mexico artist's work.

A 50'' flat screen LCD in both the master bedroom and living room with Direct TV. Wireless internet for your laptop is available also.
The gourmet kitchen features stainless steel appliances with a top quality kitchenware to prepare meals that can be enjoyed at the bar or at the gorgeous dining room table that can seat up to 6 people.

This home is the perfect retreat for two couples because each bedroom has it own bathroom and private patio area.

Christmas 2024

This condo is a gem. The host communicated with us throughout the process and our initial impression of the interior was warm and welcoming. The beds were comfortable and the place was impeccably clean! My family was visiting from out-of-state so spent most of their daytime hours at my home, which is close by. Thus, they did little to no cooking nor used the home's amenities. There were a few issues, which the host either addressed or attempted to address, including a clogged toilet (no plunger on-site to start with), inconsistent wi-fi, and a sliding patio door that would not lock. The door issue was the result of an installed doggy-door panel (we did not have a pet) that was missing a latch so the door could not be locked, which we would have preferred. The condo uses radiant heat as the primary heat source. It also had infrared heaters in most rooms. My family was not familiar with radiant heat so found the house to be rather chilly the last night when the daytime temperatures had dropped. Overall, my family had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay and found the location to be most desirable and scenic!
