Casa Tórtola - 3BR Close To Plaza, Skiing, Ft. Marcy Park. Great Mountain views
30-NIGHT MINIMUM - Prefer arrivals on the 1st of the month. Please inquire prior to booking.
If you’re searching for a home away from home in Santa Fe that is within walking distance of the Plaza AND enjoys fabulous views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Casa Tórtola (Turtle Dove) is the place for you. AND, we are dog-friendly!
Located just behind Fort Marcy Park and Community Complex, Casa Tórtola is a three-bedroom, two-bath home with wonderful views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains from almost every living area. It is a light-filled home, tastefully decorated with high-end furniture and decor incorporating some traditional Santa Fe touches such as the wood-burning Kiva fireplace in the spacious living/dining open space.
The living room has plenty of space for lounging or entertaining guests. Behind it, the dining table comfortably seats six, and directly adjacent is a dedicated TV room with a 60” screen.
If you’re looking forward to an outdoor retreat, there is a large patio off the living room with entertaining space comprised of lounge seating (including a fire pit and BBQ) as well as outdoor dining, and of course majestic views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains.
The kitchen has updated appliances including a gas stove and all kitchen amenities one might need to whip up a treat. Along side the kitchen, a cozy dinette looks out onto the back patio.
Up a partial staircase you’ll find the king master suite complete with its own kiva fireplace (non-working), desk area, and mountain views.
At the other end of the home, also up a few stairs, are the two guest rooms, which share a bath. One has a queen bed, while the other is a twin bedroom with a private walkout deck providing mountain views and views of the City.
An added bonus of Casa Tórtola is that it is just up the hill from the Fort Marcy Park Complex, an excellent place to walk a dog, or take advantage of the exercise complex, Olympic size pool, and classes such as Yoga and Pilates. There are also Pickleball courts.
Amenities include a double garage, washer and dryer, all linens, DirecTV, WIFI, and central air conditioning.
Destino Santa Fe is a cooperative, private group of homeowners and we are proud to represent Casa Tórtola.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a fenced private yard.

Dog Friendly and Great Location!
We liked the location. It's a quiet, upscale neighborhood and a great place to take our dog for a beautiful morning walk. We found the home to be well managed and maintained. It is spacious and nice for a multi-generational stay. The kitchen and bathrooms are clean and serviceable but also ready for an update. The main living room is spacious, comfortable and has a nice fireplace with a pretty view. We wished the TV had been set up there rather than the media room for family movies at night but that was just a personal preference.

Santa Fe Casa Tortola
I stayed at this beautiful home for a month, and will definitely return. The property is situated on a hill with scenic views from windows on all sides. The upstairs balcony was my favorite spot for morning coffee, while the spacious patio was my go-to haven for a glass of wine on cooler evenings. The 3 bedrooms were perfect for my occasional visitors, which included a sister, my kids, and even a few grandkids. The cozy tv room was a perfect place for morning cartoons when the grandkids rose early! The nearby park is lovely and provided a scenic walkway when i was headed to the Plaza for shopping or dinner. But i was often content to cook in the well-equipped kitchen and watch a late afternoon storm blow in...and quickly blow out. Santa Fe is a magical place and i hope to be back next summer!

Cozy and bright
Very impressed with the extra details (holiday decorations, towels, etc) that they put into making the home cozy and ready for the holidays. We loved sitting by the fire looking out at the mountains.

Great time in Santa Fe
The house was better than the pics represent. Perfect location. Great kiva. The place was stocked with everything we needed. The outdoor space was so refreshing and warm. The design of the house was also a plus with the bedrooms in two directions off the living/dining room. Even though this place is attached on both sides, the design assures you do not notice it while there. Would definitely rent again.

Two Words- Oh My!
I have VRBO'd many times in many different cities and a couple of countries and this home was the most accommodating, clean and complete! This house had everything we needed and everything was in working order. Absolutely loved the location, the view's and the decor. I thoroughly enjoyed drinking my cup of coffee and walking around the whole house looking at and admiring the art. My family and I are so glad we chose this home and will definitely rent again!
We spent a week at Casa Tortola over New Year. The location of the house is perfect for skiing and for access to downtown Santa Fe. The house has everything you can think of and is very spacious and comfortable. We loved it. The owners / administration are super responsive and helpful as well.

Perfect rental house
Everything about Casa Tórtola was excellent. The setup with the master bedroom on one side of the house and the other two bedrooms on the other side was helpful. Kitchen is well-equipped (thanks for having a regular coffee maker and a Keurig!). The whole house was clean and nicely decorated. The separate enormous living room and media room made the house feel really spacious. There is a lot of outdoor space for dining and sitting in the back yard as well as seating on the front balcony for watching the sunset. There are thoughtful little touches throughout; my favorites were the motion sensor lights on the stairs and the labels on the lights. Location is close to everything but on a quiet private street. Just a heads up that there is no shampoo, soap, etc., so future guests will need to remember to bring their own. Thanks for a wonderful Thanksgiving week!

Very nice property, immaculate, close to the square, great views from cozy patio
Comfortable and spacious! Owner provided very helpful info on restaurants and attractions which we took advantage of. The property is in a quiet newer neighborhood on a hill which provided pleasant breezes throughout the home. We had a variety of weather from warm and sunny to wet and windy and even glimpsed a rainbow from the back deck. The only things I would have changed were a more comfortable mattress on the bed in the second bedroom and a chaise lounge on the back porch would have been welcome.
