Very clean beautiful home in a nice quite neighborhood. Best stocked VRBO we have ever stayed in. Plenty of dishes for our group of 10 and pots large enough to cook for 10. Plentiful towels and beds were very comfortable. Host was very reponsive to my many questions before we even arrived and always answered promptly. We had NO issues from the time we arrived until we.left. Totally enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property if you are ever in Alamogordo and need a place to stay.

I would consider the place a premium rental and definitely worth the price the staff was courteous and helpful. Check in-check out was a breeze. I traveled solo with my dog this trip and this would be a great place for a larger group.
