May 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful stay Very nice home in a beautiful area. Was like being at home. Everything is in great condition The pool and back yard was very peaceful. ##### James K. Stayed 48 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tom P. Apr 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Enjoyed Our Stay The property is very well maintained, well furnished, and very nicely stocked with all the essentials. The back yard is beautifully landscaped with many flowering shrubs and cacti which compliment a figure eight pool. This was our third consecutive March spent in Anthem. We find the area very convenient as well as being a good family community. Our hosts did a great job of communicating with us, and answered all our questions promptly. They even had a bottle of wine waiting for us upon arrival. A very nice stay. Thank you. ##### Tom P. Stayed 30 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David D. Jan 23, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Just like staying at home The house felt like home as everything you might need was already there! It was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and stocked up with all of the kitchen gadgets you would ever need. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms nice and the living area just right to relax in. Most importantly, Michelle and Mike were great hosts, extremely helpful, friendly and accommodating. We were having our house remodeled so stayed there for almost two months and they made that process much easier. Two thumbs up and 5 stars! ##### David D. Stayed 47 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adell K. Mar 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A Delightful Stay To begin, I would like to thank our hosts, Michelle and Michael for sharing their lovely home in the beautiful Anthem community. We have stayed in several VRBOS be-fore, but honestly this home was our favorite. By all indications, our hosts, take great pride in providing anything guests would need. Our stay felt more like a Bed and Breakfast and not just a rental. Upon arrival we were complimented with two glasses waiting to be filled with a delicious bottle of wine. A welcome feel was throughout the entire home. The kitchen was well organized and stocked. Other than food, we did not need to shop for anything. The laundry room was also well supplied. We were pleasantly surprised with toiletries in the baths. If you are a pickle ball enthusiast or a tennis player, the Anthem Recreational Center, 5-8 minutes away offered Open Play, reservations and a workout facility, pools, playground, etc. Lastly, Michelle and Michael kept the communication open. If we had any questions, they were quick to respond. They even text to see how things were going for us. We recommend this rental highly and would stay here again. A big thank you to our hosts. Your well thought out intentions made our stay a great one. ##### Adell K. Stayed 42 nights in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patricia k.

Stayed for 42 days. Communication with owners was frequent and helpful. Kitchen was very well equipped and everything about the house was as depicted on the VRBO web site. Would definitely recommend this rental for anyone wanting to stay in the north Phoenix area. ##### Larry S. Stayed 42 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### terry c. Feb 20, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Find We enjoyed our stay. From the beautiful well manicured back yard to the comfortable inside living space. It had everything we needed. It felt like home from the start of our stay. ##### terry c. Stayed 35 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike W. Jan 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Awesome experience! This was perfect for our family size, all the kitchen basics were provided plus extras, even nice sharp knives! Plenty of drawers and closet space. All appliances were clean, newer, up to date, and functioned well. The tools available to us in the garage were perfect for what we needed. Nice size garage, very clean also! Even though we were unable to use the seasonal pool much, as we were there during the holidays… we loved the back yard in general, and spent lots of time just enjoying. The games and movies provided were just perfect for our family. The home owners are wonderful:) ##### Mike W.
