Overview
Boat in or drive to 3 bedroom, 2 bath located on the Sacramento River
This newly renovated home is located on Long Island just off of Grand Island in the Sacramento River Delta. There are 3 queen bedrooms and 2 baths on two levels overlooking the river. In addition, there is a sleeper sofa for overflow for total sleeping space for 8. For the warm summer, an outdoor shower is privately located just under the main deck. Well behaved family pets are welcome, although the yard is not fenced. TV, satellite and wi-fi are available along with hundreds of VHS tapes and DVDs. The house has private docks both on the river and in back on the slough (or the dredge cut as it's known), so boat in or put the boat in the water at one of several nearby launch ramps. Fish off the docks or relax on the covered deck while watching the local skiers and fishermen work the water out front. Wood fire pit and comfortable outdoor furniture allows our guests to fully enjoy the weather at any time of year. There is an office set up in the lower bedroom, just in case you need to keep in touch while you're away.
About Martha Pearson
We bought this house as a fishing shack and to have a berth for our 32' Erickson sailboat and have remodeled extensively in the years since. In fact, we lived in this house while reworking the house next door --where we live today. We are boaters who enjoy all the Delta has to offer and this house puts you so close to the water, you'll never want to leave. At least that was our story and why we moved from Sacramento. We are also active private pilots and involved in Sacramento real estate.
Martha Pearson purchased this house in 1996
Why Martha Pearson chose Delta Area
Life is just better on the water --and you can't get any closer than this. The view, the immediate access to the water activities we enjoyed were why we chose this place to call home. If you don't do anything but sit and enjoy the view of the river, you'll be entertained by the water skiers and island is qient and charming with really nice neighbors. This kitchen in this house is a dream and stocked well with good quality appliances, dishes and cookware. If you're looking to cook up a few fancy meals while you're with us and wonder about specific items, just ask and we'll see what we can do to accommodate. We always stock the basics but include coffee, tea, spices, foil and plastic wrap as well. There is usually something edible in the yard --the Delta is known for it's lush abundance, and this property is no exception. We encourage our guests to take advantage of what we grow which will obviously change with the seasons.
What makes this house unique
Being on the water with your own dock means that you can take a quick water ski run, or fish a little then relax a while only to do it again without the hassle of taking the boat in and out of the water. The Delta is beautiful and this location is convenient to the Grand Island Mansion and the Ryde Hotel, both wonderful wedding venues. Isleton is about two miles and Walnut Grove about 10 miles. Delta fishing is awesome and this is great water for skiing -- right out front. From either of the two decks overlooking the water, the line between inside and out is deliberately blurred so you're encouraged to spend the days with the doors wide open to the great Delta weather. For cooler months, there is a cozy gas fireplace and heated floors to make things comfortable.

Best vacation ever!
Beautiful property, amazing views and wonderful neighbors!
Fantastic Week, Beautiful Home
New to vacation rentals and got a gem on the first one. Was looking for a house on the water with a dock for a family get together and loved every bit of this place. The owners live next door and are readily available for any questions or concerns. Martha welcomed us as we pulled in and Robert was quick to check on the air conditioner when we had a concern (100+ during our stay). We were a party of 8 (7 adults/1 toddler) with people coming and going during the week. Beautiful well stocked kitchen, with great views. When not out on the boat, spent most of the time on the lower deck enjoying the view of the river, BBQing and waving to all the passing boats. Thank you Martha and Robert for sharing your "Labor of Love" with us.
Fantastic !!!!!!
Everything we were looking for. The house is beautiful, the location is beautiful. We feel very lucky to have located this property. We will be back for sure.
Perfect vacation home
We come to Delta every year and stay with my husbands parents, however due to space we decided to book a house this time. I am so glad we did!! Best location with a beautiful home and a great open concept. We had everything we needed in the home and Martha the host made sure we were comfortable. We were a party of 8.
House also has a dock which makes boating/fishing on the Delta easy. There are two decks overlooking the water that make the perfect place to BBQ or just to hang out.
The home and hosts are so wonderful, we will be definitely be renting it again.
Great house-great owners!
The house was prefect for our group of 7! (6 adults and I toddler)
The kitchen was great with everything we needed and the owners, Martha and Robert, were very accommodating. We had a couple issues and they were handled immediately.
The dock was easy to use and only a couple minutes away from vierras marina. There is also a great little front yard, perfect for ladder golf our corn hole.
Our family will definitely be back!!!
Absolutely heavenly!
This home is amazing. Great location, great style, great host!! Martha does a wonderful job and adds a personal touch. We have come back 4 years in a row and are already planning our next trip!!
