About Jim Summers - Albuquerque

I am a firefighter for the City of Albuquerque, Realtor, avid outdoorsman and love to travel to places where I can spearfish and enjoy the ocean. This photo is of a King Salmon from Bodega Bay CA.

Jim Summers - Albuquerque purchased this house in 2001
Why Jim Summers - Albuquerque chose Albuquerque

We started renting vacation homes over 14 years ago in Bodega Bay, CA and have been hooked ever since. The amount of money we saved by cooking at the rental home and spending fun time with our family and friends was so much better than sitting in a hotel room waiting for the others to get ready and sitting....again... at the restuarant. I love cooking together, playing games and having drinks in the hot tub afterwards. Try it and I believe you will too!

What makes this house unique

Our kitchens are stocked full of everything you need to cook a fantastic meal! When we decided to start renting out our former residence we knew exactly what was needed for a great vacation home as we had ten+ years experience by renting others. HOT TUB & POOL IS A MUST! What better way to wind down a long day of touristing than to relax in a private clean hot tub and cool off in the pool. Outdoor patio is required to have a social gathering vs watching TV. Enjoy your friends and family by cooking & playing together vs waiting for people to get ready in a hotel room and then go sit down again at a restaurant.

Spring Golf Trip

4 of 5
Submitted: April 22, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
Our group of six male golfers stayed very comfortably in the pool house in April 2013. Each guy had his own room while sharing three full baths. The house and grounds have a lot of character and Jim was an outstanding host. We especially enjoyed the large common areas - dining area for 9 and media room for 8. The property also had two nice gas grills for our cook-outs and a large, clean hot-tub. The gated property is in a quiet North Valley neighborhood with easy access to I-25. Not to be missed is Sadie's Resturant for authentic New Mexican food just a few blocks from the house, and Paa-Ko Ridge for outstanding golf.

Great Home Away from Home

4 of 5
Submitted: August 5, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
This was a great house for families with kids. We had a family reunion and the our family members with children loved the home. The pool was a hit. The house was clean, comfortable. and homey. A lot of good memories were created here with the cousins. There were good restaurants and the Cottonwood Mall closeby. There are several places in the home that has a step up or down which is not good for people with disabilities. But overall we loved the space. We would absolutely rent it again.

Owner's Response: Billie, thanks for the great review! I am glad your family made some good memories here and we would love to see you back here again if you ever decide to come back to Albuquerque. You are absolutely correct in that the house does have a couple internal steps. The original part of the house was built back in the early 40's and the slab was to low to the surrounding fields. When they built the additions they raised those floors a couple inches to keep water out in event the field borders ever broke and the house flooded. Of course these days there are no longer any fields irrigated near the house but the step-ups due remain. Best wishes, Jim

My family and I just returned from a week at the pool house. The rooms had enough separation so that three generations could enjoy time together and separate space as well. The owner was available and very helpful. Front yard shady when sun on the pool in the afternoon so adults could watch kids play in the pool. One reviewer had a long list of complaints, but certainly was not honest. It was convenient to stores and restaurants, and easy distance to mountains and scenery. We definitely enjoyed it. Thank you, Jim!

Owner's Response: Thanks Andrea for the honest review. After almost 50 positive reviews for over 4 years I think we have done alright! I appreciate your family choosing the Pool House and we hope to see you again someday. Jim

Don't believe the pictures

Don't believe the pictures
1 of 5
Submitted: May 22, 2012 Stayed: May 2012
The "pool house" was disapointing to say the least.The pictures of the home on the website were nothing like the actual home.The pool was not heated( heater was not operational) and the pond was empty and surrounded by piles of dirt.there were no paper towels, trash bags, toilet paper, laundry soap or even gas for the grill.The air conditioning was not on when we arrived and could not sit in the house for the first six hours we were there.I would not recommend the pool house unless some maintenance is performed. I was really looking forward to staying there but extremely dissatisfied with the condition of the home.
Owner's Response: "Don't Believe" is correct. This guest is a fraud and did not pay for the rental and is using this complaint as a way out of his bill. During his stay he never made a single phone call, text or email. After his stay, and he still had not paid, I demanded the money and then we get this review but still no contact. My lawyer has been contacted and he will now have to come back to NM once again to meet the New Mexico court system.
June 17, 2012 update. After legal action initiated he finally replied and stated he would pay the bill but has not as of yet. He did send some photos of the proeprty stating the house is "junk". So let's go over them. Photo #1 rock pond in landscaping, yep it was out of service due to a broken landscape pipe next to it. #2 pile of dirt next to sprinkler box and rock pond, yes pile of dirt as we were replacing plumbing and valves underground. This is in the landscaping and did not interfere w/the pool, hot tub, grass, playground or any other area a guest might want to use. #3 inside of the old brick housed grill we don't use anymore. We bought a new black & stainless steel Kenmore grill to replace it. Brick stack is cool looking and I am not going to tear it down. #4 laundry room showing we hang up broom, swiffer and other cleaning tools. Yes we are organized so not sure what the complaint was. #5 is confusing as it is of some bricks blocking a gap where a raccoon tore off a vent and some bricks to get into the attic. We trapped her & relocated her to the river south of town. The bricks are there to keep cats out until a mason can come repair the area. I am guilty here as this is up on the roof and is a low priority as it has nothing to do with the house rental use. #6 we place our ladder and those long poles for cleaning the swimming pool on top of the shed that is behind the pool house. What else do you do with 12ft long things? The area is totally out of site and no visible from the main property. The last photo is that of our front road gate looking at our neighbors yard. Yes we do have a gate and neighbors across the street. Again like every photo not an important part of the rental. If the photos were of broken beds, green pool, dirty kitchen, lack of supplies or anything that is any kind of importance I would be concerned. It is apparent this review is clearly about getting out of a bill. Please read the other 40+ reviews that say the exact opposite of this garbage and you be the judge. Best wishes until next time! Jim

Great Weekend Place

5 of 5
Submitted: January 3, 2012 Stayed: July 2011
Several friends and I attended a wedding in Albuquerque in July. Since it was going to be three couples and two children, we decided to rent the pool house. It was very spacious with plenty of room for everybody. It was really great to spend both evenings relaxing in the pool and the tub tub. The owner even stopped by one afternoon and made sure the pool and hot tub were completely clean. If a group of us had to go to Albuquerque again, I'd definitely stay here again! Thanks!
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Families with Teenagers, Families with Young Children
Owner's Response: Hi Jackie! Sometimes after I am done working on the yard at the end of the day and the last guests left a beer in the refrigerator after their stay (hint hint) I too relax by the pool for a while. Often I don't even get in, just lay by the pool listening to the sounds of the bubbling water. Thanks for the review and I hope to see your group again someday! Jim
