We want you to be comfortable during your stay. Master Bedroom has a King bed and the second bedroom has a California King. The family room has a trundle bed to provide 2 additional twin beds.

The property is the main house on a large corner lot. Street parking only, but there is plenty of it. A propane grill is available for guest use. We are following safe distancing and have a lockbox for check in and out.

*POOL HEATING:
Pool heat option is all or nothing for the duration of your stay. Many guests do not want pool heating so we offer for a surcharge for those that do. If you want the pool to be comfortable for swimming during your stay we recommend pool heating at these times and the rate we charge will be the following prices multiplied by the number of nights of your reservation (we discount for stays of a week or longer):
January and February $60
March $50
April $40
May 1 - 15 $30
May 15 - September 30 No heating needed
October $30
November $40
December $50
For example, a 5 night stay in March would be $250 for pool heating.

A solar cover is used to help heat and retain heat in the pool. During your stay we ask guests to return the cover into place when not using the pool and particularly overnight. This allows us to charge reasonable heating prices and keep down our gas usage. Also the heater will not be able to maintain a comfortable swimming temperature if the cover is not used in this manner.

***Security Cameras in use. Outside only. One pointed at the front door entrance. One pointed along the side yard monitoring the side gate. One on the pool equipment. No cameras are monitoring the pool.***

    It was the perfect location and perfect house to stay at for my daughter's graduation from Grand Canyon University! The beds were comfortable the house was adorable and the neighborhood was safe and nice to take walks in. Cute little coffee shop around the corner wewalked to each morning. Highly recommend! Great communication with the friendly owners as well!

    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.

    My sister and I traveled to Phoenix for a niece's gender reveal party. We stayed at Sarah's Sanctuary and love, love, loved the house! It has such a friendly vibe and was comfortable from the moment of arrival. The house is exactly as described and located in a cute little neighborhood. It's easy access to the airport, freeway, shops, and dining choices was very much appreciated. We spent three hours one evening just floating in the pool and chatting. The beds are comfy and the rain shower in the bathroom was heavenly. This will definitely be our go to property when visiting Phoenix. Oh, and by the way, it's a Girl!
