We enjoyed the homely feeling Kellys Casita gave us to relax from such a long drive and very appreciative of all the amenities the rental came with. Definitely will be booking Kelly's Casita on our next stay. Thank you for the quick communication when we had any questions and allowing us to stay at your beautiful home. Beautiful sight to wake up to seeing the Sandia Mtns in the morning.

Had the best time in Rio Rancho

We enjoyed our week stay in Rio Rancho. Tom and Kelly were very gracious hosts. Everything was as described and stocked as needed. The neighborhood is quiet. The highlight of our trip was a balloon ride, Santa Fe, Bandelier National Monument and Ghost Ranch. We had beautiful weather. It was a perfect get away. Thank you!

Accurately explain your expected stay or you'll have some disappointments a d extra costs.

We thought we booked for 4 nights but we were misunderstood. We bought food for 4 dinners & 4 breakfasts. It was thrown away because we had to leave. We spent an extra 200 on a hotel and more on dinner. We attended a 4 day convention. Otherwise it was very nice...just extra stress I didn't need.

4 stars out of 5

Everything about this place is excellent; great location, exceptionally clean, well appointed, friendly owners... with one exception. The bed is some kind of memory foam that was VERY firm and, for us, very uncomfortable. Perhaps it just takes some time to get used to it, but our four night stay was clearly not enough. We could not stay here again.

Safe, Clean, Easy access, hospitable hosts.

A friend and i reserved this VRBO several months before our actual visit. They did not forget us and we received good directions etc a couple days before we left for Albuquerque. The apt is behind the main house. You cannot see a picture of the apt. What you see is the owners main house. It would be nice to also see the apt. The apt was clean and we had everything we needed for our 4 day stay. We were attending a convention of Jehovah's Witnesses near by. It only took us 10 minutes to get to the Star Center. We were very pleased with our stay and hope to visit again next year. Thank you for your hospitality.. (I sleep in a recliner and this apt had 2 recliners so I was very happy to get good night's sleep every night,)

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Kelly’s Casita! The space was perfect and had everything we could possibly want—comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully stocked. The location was just right for a relaxing getaway, and the casita itself felt like home from the moment we arrived.Tom and Kelly were such friendly and welcoming hosts, making sure every detail was taken care of. Their warmth really made our experience special. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better stay and are already looking forward to coming back to this same place.Thank you, Tom and Kelly, for such a memorable visit!
