Amazing Location steps from Historic Old Town, Museums and Restaurants
Incredible find! Location Location Location. Casa Pearla is a comfy, cozy private two bedroom, 1 1/2 bath, two story townhouse with RARE two car garage located one street off Route 66 between historic Old Town and the gorgeous old Albuquerque Country Club area. Restaurants, shops and museums are less than a quarter mile away and the very popular food court in Sawmill is close too! About 1/2 mile West of Casa Pearla is our wonderful Albuquerque BioPark, Tingley Beach and the running/biking trails along the Bosque. Court houses, downtown, UNM and area hospitals are a quick 5 minute drive away.
Guests says Casa Pearla is their home away from home. The space is light-filled with stylish and comfortable furnishings, a smart TV, free WIFI, a well stocked kitchen with gas stove, dishwasher and refrigerator, a full sized washer and dryer, iron and ironing board with a half bathroom downstairs and a full sized private bathroom upstairs. Outside is a welcomining covered back patio, verdant side yard with roses bushes and a walled front court yard
Upstairs are the two bedrooms (1 queen/1 full) and full bath. The beds have luxury linens and memory foam mattresses that guests rave about! A great bonus is fabulous terrace off the second bedroom complete with a traditional hanging rista with little solar twinkle lights. The shared bathroom has a vanity with two sinks, a bathtub/shower combo and a large skylight that bathes the space in natural light. Soaps, shampoos and fluffy towels await and there is a hair dryer and even some first aid items too, just in case.
Often overlooked but so, so important comfort-wise is the air conditioning, I upgraded the air conditioning to central air instead of the common evaporative cooling that is still commonly used in Albuquerque (which necessitates cracking open a window to cool a room yikes! and can only lower temps by about 20-25 degrees). Another bonus at Casa Pearla is the two car garage. How convenient to be able to load and unload your luggage while keeping your belongings secure!.
Finally, it is important to me that my guests are comfortable while making many wonderful memories in Albuquerque staying at Casa Pearla. I invite you and look forward to the many return visitors and welcome new guests as well!

About the host

I'm Alyce, a NM Native and I've lived in Albuquerque since the early 80's. I'm a semi-retired real estate broker and I enjoy doing interiors, landscaping, reading technical, nerdy stuff and making art and music.
Why they chose this property
I LOVE this property. I bought it in March 2018 from a sweet little old guy who just wanted to get back to Oklahoma. It was in good shape but had very little personality so I set out looking for little treasures that would make it feel homey and reflect the area. I reconfigured the landscaping, put in a watering system, rebricked the patio, bought new appliances, took down some heavy drapes, redid countertops, added refrigerated air, painted the garage and retiled the bathrooms and kitchen. I've loved every minute of it. I feel like I have the good bones down and will be adding even more improvements from time to time. I named this property after my dear mother, Pearl, who passed away March, 2017. She would definiitely approve.
What makes this property unique
Besides location, a great thing about Casa Pearla is the 2 car garage!! This is a rare perk for a vacation rental and is a definite plus that you can store gear and park your car in a secured space overnight rather than on the street in an unfamiliar city.
Another perk Casa Pearla has that a lot of other rentals do not is the air conditioning. In NM, because our air is so dry, we typically use swamp coolers which cools using water soaked pads. Wherever you want the house cool, you need to crack open a window which to me would a scary thing to have to do staying in a strange city. Also with swamp coolers you don't have the option of heating the house while cooling so if we have a cold snap there is no heat and you freeze, or vice versa, hot days, no cool. SO...I made a major capital improvement investment and installed REFRIGERATED AIR. Now, guests can be comfortable year round no matter the weather. Believe me, it's a thing.
