A beautiful, welcoming, home
This is our second stay here. Marsha couldn't be kinder and her home is spotless and cozy. The small kitchen is fully functional--I made Thanksgiving pies there, last stay. The bed is luxurious. And the surrounding yard and neighborhood in the Fab Forties is a perfect take off perch for visiting our son's family in Sacramento. Highly recommended!

Great apartment, great neighborhood
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Marsha’s apartment. It is very comfortable and very well-appointed. There is a full kitchen with stovetop, oven, and dishwasher that we used almost every night. The bed is very comfortable, with great high-end sheets. Street parking was always available out front and never was a problem, as it requires a “resident” permit that Marsha provided. We enjoyed frequent walks in the elegant Fabulous Forties neighborhood, with occasional longer walks downtown to the Capitol Mall. We definitely hope to return.

Charming Oasis in East Sac
I had a lovely time staying at Marsha's lovely villa. Marsha was welcoming and accommodating and the villa was perfectly placed with everything I needed. It was within walking distance of wonderful restaurants and an easy drive to the rest of the Sacramento area. I always felts safe in the neighborhood and would often go on runs to the American river. I highly recommend staying here on your next excursion to Sacramento.

Cozy in-law suite
This is a book lovers paradise. Marsha is very welcoming and helpful. She is generous with snacks and beverages. The layout of the suite is perfect and nicely decorated. The suite is located on the main floor of the owner’s home with a thin wood door separating the two. Marsha tries to be respectful of one’s privacy. Laundry facilities are in the garage across the courtyard. Didn’t mind that as the courtyard is beautifully arranged with lovely plants.

Ideal Getaway
If the location and description of this property aren't enough, just see how many 5-star reviews Marsha has received - they're all for a good reason, and they're all spot on. This is a quiet, really well appointed suite and Marsha goes way above and beyond to be a gracious host. The night we arrived there were snacks, fresh fruit and cold drinks in the fridge, and her communication before and during our stay couldn't be more thorough or helpful. Located in a great walking neighborhood - the "fabulous forties" - this is truly an ideal villa oasis - we'll be back!

I can't say enough good things about this property. Marsha has provided a lovely place to stay while in Sacramento, The furnishing are high quality, the bedding and towels are better than a 5 Star hotel. She provides a nice assortment of water beverages, along with some snacks and coffee. She even brings you a plat of fresh fruit. I highly recommend this property and look forward to returning.

My go-to vacation rental
I was so lucky to find this place this spring, and now it's my go-to vacation rental in Sacramento. It's located in the BEST part of Sacramento, within walking/biking distance from shopping, cafes and restaurants. The guest suite is beautifully decorated and very comfortable with everything you could need for a short or long stay. And Marsha is simply the best! She genuinely puts her guests first and puts in a lot of effort to make sure they have a great stay with her. I've already reserved for next spring!

Ten stars!
My new favorite place to stay in Sacramento! Marsha's place is in the most beautiful, walker-friendly part of the city, with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby and countless more available in easily accessible midtown/downtown. The suite itself is comfortable, beautifully decorated, and with everything you needed for an extended stay. Marsha is a first-class host who attended to my every concern and even showed up once in a while with fresh-baked goodies! I'm almost sorry to give such a great review for fear her place will become too popular, but I have to give an honest appraisal. Would give 10 stars if I could!

Ironman Sacramento
The property is located in the heart of East Sacramento, which is beautiful and conveniently located within walking distance of all kinds of coffee shops, markets, restaurants, and more. It's also super easy to get back and forth to downtown.
Marsha, the owner, is as gracious and as thoughtful as one can imagine. We were in constant communication with her and the property was fully stocked with everything that we needed--water, snacks, soap, shampoo, shave cream, cling wrap, ziplocks, etc. It was the perfect place for my dad and me to stay and use as our base for Ironman week.

Perfect
I have rented many vacation rentals but this by far was the best. The communication and warm welcome made us feel special. The home had plenty of room and was beautiful. We both worked remotely and that was perfect. The yard was a sanctuary, so peaceful. We were close to everything we needed. Parking was easy. Beautiful neighborhood walks. We used to live in the Sacramento region but had to move 3 years ago to Arizona for work. So visiting was so very special to us. I would recommend this vacation rental. Thank you again.
