1 night in Carlsbad area
House is cute and in a nice walkable neighborhood. The upstairs of the home (kit, living room, dining) was nice. Owners had a great coffee area set up, only thing was there were not coffee filters, so we didn't get to take advantages of the coffee. The downstairs was disappointing, the carpet is stained and the downstairs area smells. I guess this is good for those who have their pets (which we did not). Each bedroom had an air-conditioner unit. The check-in was smooth, minus the 2 different address listed on the check-in email (one house number different) but we were able to locate the property.

Watch out for the deposit
We booked this location for 2 nights. They required a one thousand five hundred dollar deposit. They hit our credit card as soon as the reservation was confirmed and held it for two weeks after our reservation which was a total of six weeks. That is obscenely ridiculous! We will not be staying there again and we advise to find a host that is more reasonable in their deposit requirements.

Nice pet friendly property
Property is nice when traveling with pets. Back yard could do with a spring cleanup since winter winds blow trash and debris inside the fence line. Upstairs has a terrific living room area and kitchen met our needs. Location is good, close to restaurants and main road connections for Carlsbad Caverns. We appreciate homes that allow for pets. Thank you

Great time at the Jalapeno
Your house was everything we expected in the perfect location. We spent our days travelling to Guadalupe Mountain National Park and Carlsbad Caverns and then came back in the evening for dinners. Really enjoyed Milton's Brewing, a local taproom.

Nice place! Yard was amazing!
The jalapeño house is wonderful. Exactly as described. Everything working well. I was surprised there were no washcloths, paper towels, hand soap or toilet paper, so we had to run out and buy them, and the carpeting is a little tattered. I appreciate having a place that allows dogs and the big fenced in yard was awesome! Amenities were spectacular. Nice distance from attractions. The area isn’t very walkable though, it’s not a great neighborhood so we didn’t feel comfortable but the river area is beautiful. Nice plane. We’d stay again! Thanks!!

Carlsbad Cavern Getaway
The Jalapeño was a great place for our family to e hit the sites in Carlsbad, NM. We went to the caverns, the water park, and enjoyed just visiting at the house. It is in a great area near the pharmacy, restaurants, and a great grocery store. We did have some struggles with the WiFi but it helped us unplug !

Great stay!
We enjoyed our stay! The kids especially appreciated the board games every night after our outings. The location is phenomenal. Just a half block from CVS, a block from Albertsons, and only a 4 minute drive the the water park and Pecos Lake rec area. We actually rode our bikes from the house to the river and did the bike trail that goes around it. We had a great time, and it was a great house to come back to each night!

Adorable home in convenient location!
We will stay here any time we return to Carlsbad! The home is comfortably decorated, and well sized for a family of five plus two dogs. The pups loved the yard, and my youngest child enjoyed the puzzle and games. There is even food items and spices so you can get by until you get to Albertsons (within walking distance) and you don’t have to buy huge bottles of spices you’ll never fully use on vacation. My entire family wished we’d been able to stay longer!

The Jalapeno was located in a quiet neighborhood and close to great restaurants and grocery/drug stores. The kitchen was well equipped. The living room had games and a smart tv. The AC worked great in all rooms. The carpet downstairs is older but clean. We enjoyed our stay and appreciated the restaurant suggestions.

The Jalapeño was a wonderful place for us to stay! It was a great home, in a perfect location. Our 2 pugs enjoyed it, too! We were able to see both Carlsbad Caverns and White Sands, and had a couple great meals close by, as well. Would recommend to anyone!

Very fair
Cooling system on main level never got the rooms below 81 degrees. Never could get the internet password (s) to work. Patio area outside no shade and you have the next door neighbors watching you through their windows. Carpet downstairs was filthy. House had weird set up and not two bathrooms but one and a half. Bathroom downstairs had shower and tub combo as well as the toilet on a raised platform. If you aren’t careful it’s dangerous and house not good if you have any mobility issues. Would not rent again. Had to call host because never got any communication before we showed up at property as to how to access house. That was stressful and unacceptable.

Beautiful home & wonderful stay!
This home was beautiful & the communication with the host was quick & easy. We felt like we were at home even though we were more than 7 hours from home. The home is located in a quiet neighborhood across a small church & behind a CVS. Everywhere we went was like 5 minutes from the home, except the Caverns that was more like 30 minutes.The home was nice & cool despite the warm temperatures outside. The laundry room is located outside the front door, but it was not an inconvenience to do 3 loads of laundry. The home was clean inside & out. The half bath upstairs was convenient for our family. All three rooms located downstairs were large & comfortable. The oversized downstairs bathroom was an added bonus! We truly enjoyed our stay & when we return to Carlsbad this will be the home we choose to stay at again. Thank you for a lovely stay!

We loved our stay in The Jalapeño! Cozy furnished kitchen and living space with cool bedrooms. Yard was nice for the dogs to stretch their legs. Grocery 2 blocks away was a great plus. An half an hour from the caverns and an hour from the mountains--would stay again 10/10

Great stay in central location.
My father and I were traveling through New Mexico with our 2 dogs. The Jalapeño House was centrally located near a grocery store, CVS, some nice restaurants, and park along the Pecos River . It had a large fenced yard which allowed our ups to run and play. There are stickers so was their paws. The neighborhood is quiet which I liked. The house itself was beautifully decorated and provided everything you need to host. The 3 bedrooms and full bath are located downstairs. Bedding was comfortable and cozy. We did have to change our a battery in a smoke alarm that started chirping around 4am. It scared the pups and I spent the rest of time upstairs until CVS opened. The bi-fold door to the upstairs half bath came off its track, but my father travels with his tools and was able to fix it. If/when we're back in Carlsbad I'll look for the Jalapeño House first.
