Great stay!

This property in Rio Rancho strikes a good balance between access to shopping and restaurants with a secluded feel. The neighborhood is quiet and an interesting mix of older homes and new builds. The house was very clean and has the most supplies, such as cooking and cleaning products, that I have ever seen! We got to see hot air balloons on Saturday morning!, which was awesome.

About the host

Hosted by Donna Codd

Host profile image
Hello, my name is Donna Codd and I am currently retired and doing some traveling of my own so I understand how important a comfortable, safe, quiet place to stay that includes everything you need is. I have had rental properties for over 30 years and this is my second VRBO property. I stay at Casa Tranquila about once a month so I am constantly upgrading the house and amenities. I hope you find everything you need and then some. If not please let me know so I can fix it.

Why they chose this property

This is a quiet out of the fray neighborhood with lots of space so you don't feel overwhelmed by anything. The house is also close to shopping restaurants and destinations which I love because I don't enjoy driving in traffic. It is the best of both worlds.

What makes this property unique

The house has been recently remodeled so it is a clean beautiful space to enjoy. Being on half an acre gives you room for everyone. The property has a fenced back yard and plenty of sand for the kids and dogs to play. Sand toys can be found on the back patio which is covered and has a table and chairs for the adults to enjoy while the dogs and kids play. There are currently no homes behind the property so you can see for miles and enjoy the birds, bunnies, roadrunners and hot air balloons.
