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.

Security Notice: Exterior security cameras monitor the front entrance, side gate, and pool equipment area. No cameras monitor the pool or any interior living spaces.

    Needed a comfy place to stay for a quick weekend (preferably with a pool) and Sarah's Sanctuary was perfect! Older but spotlessly clean home with beautifully renovated bathrooms. We wanted a pool to enjoy after golf and Sarah was kind enough to delay some renovations until after our stay so we could enjoy it. Although we did not cook during our stay, I particularly appreciate when kitchens are stocked with not just basic essentials but a few other things that can be helpful during a stay. Only regret was I didn't get to use the sleek bathtub, but on a guys golf trip I thought I might be pushing my look with the rest of the gang disappearing for a bubble bath. Great location and option in the Phoenix area.

    We loved staying at Sarah's sanctuary. My kids and I enjoyed walking around the neighborhood, and spent hours by the lovely little pool. The kitchen is very well-equipped which was nice for our family since we love to cook. The beds were comfy and the glamorous bathrooms were a treat. Thanks, Sarah and Noel!

    The sanctuary was absolutely perfect for our family of 6. We paid extra to heat the pool which is a complete must have with the ladies. The location was perfect close to everything such as shopping zoo stadium. We had a nice stay.

    In Phoenix area for spring training games & hiking. As we were all over the broader Phoenix area, this offered a nice central location. We were close to major roads. Quiet neighborhood.

    Fun quirky house. Comfy beds. Outlets are old so my charger wouldn’t stay plugged in the bedroom. Nice coffee /tea selection. Homeless guy was wandering the neighborhood.Only on street parking available. No bathroom counter-space for makeup and jewelry. Owners were very responsive and helpful.
