We had a great stay!
The house was perfect for our large group, and we loved the resort fell of the backyard. We cooked most of our meals at the house and it was nice to have the all the little things needed already there. The hosts were very easy to communicate with and even provided a welcome basket. We'd recommend this house!

A Perfect Stay
We were a family group of five adults who came to Phoenix for White Sox spring training games. The Sox were our only disappointment ( only one win). The house, on the other hand, was a winner in every way. It had all the amenities, and we enjoyed them all— the spa, the pool, the putt putt golf, and many creature comforts. We loved having Alexa lock doors and manage the lights, not to mention playing Irish music for us on St. Patrick’s Day! The house is also centrally located— not far from anywhere we wanted to go. James is a remarkably attentive host. Any questions we had received an immediate response. We would be very happy to stay in this great house again!

Golf trip to Phoenix
Had a great time with a handful of 50 something -year-olds when golf in the area. The backyard was fantastic for a hot tub at the end of the day, and the kitchen was more than enough to accommodate us all. Would highly recommend.

Incredible House for Large Family
This home was gorgeous and provided the perfect place for our large family to stay to attend daughter’s graduation from Midwestern Univ. We were pleasantly surprised by the openness of the floor plan. All rooms were beautifully decorated and everything was very clean. The kitchen and outdoor areas were superb! We enjoyed cooking together in the chef’s quality kitchen and spent our time relaxing in the pool and patios. Loved the spa and fire table. The pool table and game room was an excellent hang out area and the kids loved the large projection screen for video games. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. So very pleased with this property and the generous owners. The gift basket was a nice touch and the owners take great care in providing ALL the amenities one would need. A fabulous stay for our large family of 16! Recommend this property HIGHLY!

Great home for large family
Our family of 15 spent a week in this lovely home. We ranged in age from 4 to 70 and it was a hit for all of us. There were good spaces to gather yet we could retreat to our own rooms if we needed quiet time. The pool and heated spa was a highlight for our North Dakota family tired of a long winter at home. We cooked most of our meals in their well equipped kitchen plus the grill outside. Checking in and out was a breeze and our host was quick to respond to questions and accommodated our request for a later checkout time. We felt the neighborhood was safe and not too far from the places we chose to visit such as the zoo, butterfly experience, etc We highly recommend the lovely Orchid house brought to you by James and Michelle!!

Beautiful house, great location!
Our family of 6 visited over spring break. The house was perfect for us! Pool and hot tub were warm and clean. The kids loved playing pool and that they each got their own room. Kitchen is spacious and well equipped. James was fantastic communicating with us and checking in/out was a smooth process. The neighborhood was beautiful and quiet. Close to shopping in Scottsdale as well as downtown and hiking trails. We cannot wait to go back!

Sept Bowl Blast
Amazing weekend with friends. Met up with long time friends and our two families had an incredible time. Beautiful house, with plenty to occupy our 7 kids ( ages 3-9). Played putt putt, swam, movie theater. Kids were exhausted every night by sunset and the adults were able to relax with a glass of wine in the hot tub. Close to restaurants, grocery, Starbucks. Quiet street, but close enough to the interstate to get anywhere. Just 6 miles from stadium and had no real traffic getting to the game. Will def save this property and book in the future. Minor questions answered quickly by the owner, very responsive.

INCREDIBLE PROPERTY! 🌵💚
I’ve stayed at many VRBO properties and this is my favorite! It’s absolutely beautiful. It easily accommodated 11 of us and was big enough for many more. The house is fully equipped with enough towels, dishes, glasses, etc. There are several wine fridges that helped with our celebration dinner. The beds were all very comfortable! It was nice having so many bathrooms too. The pool is spectacular and the game room was an added bonus. James is an amazing host and instantly responds to communication. I hope to return to this house in the future. I 💯 recommend this home! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with my family, James.

Gorgeous Home
My family had the absolute best time at this home! We had 8 adults and 5 kids under the age of four and it was absolutely perfect. More than enough bedrooms/bathrooms for all of us.. It was so spacious and clean inside and out. The kids had a blast swimming in the gorgeous pool and the adults loved the outdoor fire table. The game room with the pool table was a hit as well. Communication with the host went beyond my expectations. James was always on top of anything we needed with help of his brother Joshua. We would recommend this location to anyone looking to stay In the area. The home has everything you need and more for a vacation. If we ever go back to Arizona my family would 100% consider booking this home again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Best vacation rental ever
This place was outstanding, I cannot put into words how beautiful the house was, how perfect the size was, how accommodating the host was, and how awesome our stay was there. The house was spotless, I have never been to a house that felt so clean. It has everything you could ever need in it. It was so spacious. I stayed there with family and friends the weekend of my sisters wedding. 15 girls were able to get ready for the wedding in the spacious home. The neighborhood is beautiful and safe (I myself live within a mile). I could not recommend this place more, 10 stars!!

Paradise in the States!
I have stayed at quite a few VRBO’s. Last year we were at 3. This year I wanted to take my family to the Grand Canyon. My husband had to have a house with a pool. This was my main reason for choosing this home. Let me just say that it was the best experience we have ever had! The house is absolutely breath-taking. The backyard was a tropical oasis. Everyone there couldn’t stop addressing how beautiful the home is. The best part about it was they supplied so much, more than I ever expected at a rental. I didn’t have to worry about paper products, detergent, garbage bags and even coffee. It was the best vacation we have had! Thank you, James and family! You have a wonderful home, and we are very grateful that you chose to open it up for rental. Potential renters: You can expect a great host and amazing home!

Arizona Vacation
5 Senior Couples from North Carolina wanted to vacation in the Southwest to enjoy the warm climate, sites, and golf. Our priority was to find a 5 bedroom with 5 bath house that had adequate dining and leisure seating for 10 people, a nice pool, large kitchen, and outdoor grill. This house had 6 bedrooms, 6 full baths, and magnificent kitchen and outdoor pool/spa not to mention large indoor and outdoor dining area. This was by far the best house we have ever rented on VRBO and I would recommend this house for any large group of any age. It easily accommodates 15+ with 3 triple bunk beds in the 6th bedroom that we did not use. The owner had ample supplies of paper goods, soaps, washing detergents and many other amenities to include a gift basket upon arrival. We received immediate responses to all queries and we could not have asked for a more gracious host! My family is returning in November and just wish this house had been available again as I fear the next house will not rate nearly as good as this one. Thanks to James and Michele for making our trip a wonderful trip to remember and maybe we will do it again next year!

About the host

Hosted by James Schultz

Host profile image
My wife and I enjoy traveling with our five children and seek interesting and unusual homes to visit as part of our travels. We also own and operate two VRBO's that we use personally as often as we can and rent to guests from all around the world when we are elsewhere.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property because it was in a quiet, family friend neighborhood in the North Central Corrider. We think this is the ideal location to explore the greater Phoenix area and will be a great place to spend six months of the year once the kids get older.

What makes this property unique

In addition to the central location, Orchid is just a big home. None of the rooms feel cramped and there is so much space that large groups can still seperate to enjoy some privacy. The inside and outside dining areas both seat 10+ people, which is nice for family dinners.
