I must start with this place is is breathtaking. The estate is amazing and the pictures don't even do it justice. It is on the hill overlooking San Diego. Every night we had dinner and drinks on the patio to watch the sunset and the hot air balloons. I rented this property for a family reunion. This house has something for everyone no matter what your age. The pool and hot tub are amazing. It has plenty of seating for everyone if you want to be pool side. Also even if you don't want to be pool side you still feel like your apart of whats happening. There is a huge patio above the pool that you can easily look down to keep close eye on your kids in pool and activities.

There are many games to keep the kids and who am I kidding the grown ups entertained as well. There is foosball, pool, basketball, pinball, arcade games, and more. There are many large flat screen tvs in this estate as well. To be honest there is so much to do the only time we turned the tv on was to find a music channel to play through the surround sound that goes outside on patio and swimming pool as well.

I grew up in the country and now live in Los Angeles. Just another reason I love this place. You really feel like your in the country. There are horses on property with large riding arena. Bob and his daughters gave my family riding lessons. The horses are well trained and gentle. He has both ponies and horses. You can ride even if you have never ridden before or if your a trained horseback rider. If you haven ridden horse before and feel comfortable. I would suggest taking a trail ride. There has to be about 200 acres of trails that surround this amazing estate. Bob took us on a trail ride that I will never forget. We went behind the house farther up on the hill. It was one of the most amazing views I ever experienced. It was a clear day and we had panoramic views of the ocean seeing Catalina Island all the way to San Diego. It was simply breath taking.

Another reason I really liked this Estate is I also love the city and everything that is has to offer. We took the kids to Legoland only 10 min drive away in Carlsbad. There are numerous beaches to experience that are very close only 10-20 min drive depending on what beaches you would like to go to. There was also plenty of shopping and places to eat in the nearby area as well.

I must say I've never been somewhere where the owner is so helpful, polite, funny, and accommodating. If there was anything we needed I just text

Great time in two adjacent estates

In August 2012, our family of 18 ( 2Grandparents, 4 children with spouses, 8 grandchildren) rented both the Ranch by the Sea and the adjacent Tennis Estate by the Sea. It worked out best that the 4 younger children (1 to 4) and parents stayed in the Tennis Estate and the older children (5 to 8) stayed in the Ranch Estate. However, there was easy movement between the two houses, so that all were able to enjoy all the benefits of both. Both pools were delightful. We used the pool at the Ranch (and its adjacent hot tub) mostly because it was slightly bigger and had more seating. The ranch had a smaller playhouse in the back. The Tennis Estate had an excellently-equipped lighted tennis court, along with trampoline and large children’s playhouse. At our request, Bob, the owner, graciously purchased a case of tennis balls and cart, and he had enough tennis racquets for all of the children and adults who wanted to play. On several days we brought in a tennis pro who gave lessons to both children and adults. The adjacent pool was especially handy on those days. Each house is extremely well equipped with cooking utensils and equipment. We ate dinner mainly at the Ranch because the new grill was larger and seating outdoors could accommodate all of us. Breakfast and sometimes lunch were split between the two. The Tennis estate had a widescreen TV as part of the very large kitchen and eat-in area (which also was equipped with toys of all types for the younger children). The Ranch had a pool table (and widescreen TV) and several video and real pinball machines, which provided hours of fun for the older children and adults. On top of all that, bob provided a horseback riding experience for all of the children and some adults. The facilities are outstanding, and we would have used it more, but the weather was unusually hot during most days. Under most conditions, the riding opportunities are unique and valuable for those who wish to partake. All in all, our family had a great time staying in the two houses, and we thank Bob for his gracious hospitality that provided us fun time and many memories.

Awesome holiday in Bobs Ranch. Bob couldn't have been more accommodating, if we had a query or request he sorted efficiently and promptly. The Ranch is spacious and has all the facilities you'd need. There was only 7 of us so we could have a choice of rooms per night if we wanted. Pool and spa were a good size and really easy to use and adjust. The Ranch is on multiple levels and is very spacious.

My daughter took full advantage of the horse riding while she was there, and Bob graciously took here on a couple of trail rides to know where to go and see.

Sum up, awesome place and we wish we could have stayed longer.

Sea Ranch House

Thanks to Bob for his amazing hospitality during our family reunion at his Sea Ranch House. We had an international crowd vacationing together after our son's wedding in Mission Bay. The house was perfect for us - plenty of room to mingle, relax, play and eat together in the evenings. There was plenty to do for all ages at the house - even the teenagers were happy! The views are beautiful, the location convenient for San Diego's attractions, and the house is clean and very comfortable. We cannot compliment Bob's favorite chef Alfonso enough, for his amazing Fajita Fiesta made to order for our wedding guests on Sunday. We would definitely recommend Bob's house for a large gathering.

Wonderful Week at the Ranch

My family is spread out across the country so we get together once a year for vacation. This year we decided to go to the west coast. We have a decent sized group that attends these vacations so we were looking for a larger house that could accommodate us comfortably and make sure everyone had enough space to breath. Boy did we find it with Ranch By The Sea. We had 6 adults and 6 children (ranging from 2 months to 6 years). Every family had a wing of the house and we still had 2 rooms left open. We could not have asked for a better location. It was 10-15 mins to the beach and close to Legoland for the kids. But to be honest we hardly left the ranch as the kids loved the pool, feeding the horses, and just running around the property. If you like getting away from it all then this place is for you. The property is quiet and all you hear is the occasional horse. Better yet I did not even realize that we had not watched a second of TV the whole week until I was on the flight home.

Last but not least the owner Bob is everything everyone in the other reviews claims. He could not have been more helpful. He was there when we checked in to show us around the place. Anytime we needed something we would text him and he would be there in 10 mins. Bob and his daughter, Victoria, gave the kids horse rides which they are still talking about. Throughout the whole process he was beyond helpful.

Notes
-The view is spectacular and the kids loved watching the hot air balloons on the horizon at dinner every evening.

-The fire pit and heaters on the patio were perfect. We spent every evening and sometimes well into the night out there.

-Perfect for kids as they have plenty of space to run and games to play.

-The kitchen is fully stocked. Although some of the appliances could use an update, it is a fully functional kitchen. Better yet the pantry and wine rack are stocked so you can cook just about anything without having to worry about buying spices, etc at the store.

-The house's personal chef (Alfonzo) came to the house one evening and cooked for everyone. It was delicious and reasonably priced (less than going out to dinner). I highly recommend this feature as well as the personal massage therapist.

-There is no need to plan outings to every theme park in San Diego. Just hang out at The Ranch and you will have a blast.
