About this property
Sarah's Sanctuary Main House - Central Phoenix Oasis - Pool-Heating Optional
Welcome to Sarah's Sanctuary, a beautifully renovated home in the heart of Phoenix's charming Woodlea-Melrose Historic District. Located in one of the city's most walkable and desirable neighborhoods, you'll enjoy tree-lined streets, historic homes, local restaurants, coffee shops, and easy access to the best of Midtown and Downtown Phoenix.
Whether you're visiting for a relaxing getaway, Spring Training, business, or to explore the Valley of the Sun, Sarah's Sanctuary offers the perfect blend of modern comfort and resort-style relaxation.
Inside, you'll find thoughtfully designed spaces with comfortable furnishings, quality linens, and the amenities you need to feel at home. The fully equipped kitchen is stocked for preparing everything from a quick breakfast to a family dinner, and we provide complimentary starter supplies including coffee, tea, and essential paper products.
The home comfortably accommodates up to six guests with:
* A spacious primary bedroom featuring a king-size bed * A second bedroom with a California king bed * Two additional twin beds provided by a trundle bed in the family room
Step outside to your own private backyard retreat featuring a sparkling pool, covered patio, and propane grill—perfect for enjoying Arizona's beautiful weather year-round.
*** Optional Pool Heating ***
Pool heating is available as an optional add-on for guests who would like warmer swimming temperatures during cooler months. Because many guests prefer an unheated pool, heating is offered only upon request for the entire duration of your stay.
Current nightly heating rates are:
January–February: $80/night March: $70/night April: $60/night May 1–15: $50/night May 16–September: Available upon request; pricing varies based on weather October: $50/night November: $60/night December: $70/night
Discounts on heating are available for stays of seven nights or longer, and rates may be adjusted during unusually warm weather.
To help maintain comfortable swimming temperatures while minimizing energy usage, the pool is equipped with a solar cover. We simply ask guests to replace the cover whenever the pool is not in use, especially overnight.
*** Your Stay ***
The home occupies the main house on a spacious corner lot with ample free street parking. See listing 5427163 to include the guest house for your reservation. Contactless self check-in is provided through a secure lockbox, making arrival easy regardless of when you arrive.
As experienced VRBO Premier Partners, we've welcomed guests for more than 10 years and continually invest in making each stay better than the last. We live just a few houses away, so if you need recommendations, assistance, or anything during your visit, we're nearby and happy to help. At the same time, we fully respect your privacy and want you to enjoy the home at your own pace.
We hope Sarah's Sanctuary feels like your home away from home—with just the right touch of Arizona comfort and style.
