Fantastic time at the Tennis Ranch
We had a couple of families share this property and it was exactly what we needed. Nestled in the hills with great views and quiet surroundings. Great pool, tennis/pickleball court and overall house with a great family room and kitchen. Close to San Elijo Hills which is a great small town with shopping and restaurants. Less than 5 minute drive. The owner Bob and his son Dylan were fantastic and great hosts. Communication with them was very easy. Highly recommend this as a getaway if you are not looking to stay at the beach.

Old memories shared and new memories made
Three generations spent a wonderful time of sharing old memories as well as making new ones. A perfect place for our family of 16 people. Let's start with our wonderful host, Bob and his equally wonderful son, Dylan. Communication was above and beyond. Truly. Any little blips were addressed immediately and resolved quickly. The quality of our stay was never compromised and was always their top priority. The home is spacious, bright, comfortable, and had so much to do - or not to do, if that is what you're looking for. We utilized all the amenities: pool table, arcade-style game, swimming pool, tennis court, basketball hoops, bicycles, tricycles, jungle gym, fire pit and more! All ages had something to do while we were at home. As a side note, I brought my own Pickleball net, a tape measure and painter's tape to make our own court. We were able to use one side of the tennis court for Pickleball while the other side was still open for those that wanted to shoot baskets. I would most definitely also recommend hiring Chef Alfonso. After reading some of the previous reviews, I asked Bob for his contact info. Our dinner with Chef Alfonso was amazing and enjoyed by all. We are all looking forward to returning to this property! Thank you Bob and Dylan for a wonderful stay!

Great property for families
This property was fantastic for our 3 generation family trip. The pool was perfect, swingset and tennis courts were also a hit with our kids too. The room set up provided lots of space and the open living, dinning room and kitchen allowed everyone to stay connected. Bob and Dylan were good hosts and were quick to respond when needed too. The only downside would be getting a key for the facility. We didn’t feel like the doors locked very well even though there was a key pad code at the end of the driveway. One opportunity for improvement would be to put hooks up for towels in the bathrooms.

Wonderful Weekend Getaway
This is a wonderful property. The owner/manager was very responsive and available. The kids loved the pool and basketball court. The adults loved the beautiful terrace and hillside views. Make sure to book the private chef service for an added touch of the extraordinary!

Family Staycation Extraordinary!
Our blended family has members from 75 to 14 months. We were so happy to find a home large enough for everyone to have the privacy (bedrooms / baths) that we needed and sleep in a "real" bed. The tennis court was huge hit, as were the bicycles provided by the host for the children. Pool was perfect for lounging in the afternoon. Kitchen is large and well equipped. We cooked every meal in the house and found everything we needed. The host was very responsive when we had questions.

Perfect weekend vacation home
The house was a dream for those with a family. The house was spacious, clean and full of fun things for the family. The tennis court is huge and loaded with toys for kids and adults. The kids were obsessed with the playground and beautiful heated pool. Bob was wonderful with communicating and let us go on a horseback ride on property. We enjoyed cooking in big kitchen and eating outside watching the sunset . We had no reason to leave the house entire weekend! We will be back!

Perfect multigenerational destination
There was always something to do. From the pool to the playground to the tennis court, arcade game and foosball the options were endless. Also wonderful places just to relax. The location is close enough to stores and restaurants for anything you may need. Waking up to the chickens and the horses was a treat for us city dwellers. We would highly recommend Bob and his property.

Gorgeous views and fabulous tennis court
We stayed at the Tennis Ranch for the Thanksgiving week with our sons and two of their friends. Because of Covid, we didn't go out of the house much, but we were so comfortable at the house, and there were so many things to do, that we had a wonderful and fun week. I can't imagine a tennis court in a more beautiful setting! It was amazing to sit on the deck watching the boys play tennis with the amazing view of the mountains in the background. The house was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Bob was amazing and super responsive when we had a question. We hope to be back after the pandemic is over, so we can explore the area a bit more. Oh - and we had a fabulous take-out Thanksgiving dinner from the Green Dragon Tavern in Carlsbad! The best I've ever had!!! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!!!

We had a great time. Bob was a great host. He was there to greet us and go over everything with us. Chef Alfonso made us a great breakfast. We had a college reunion with 15 friends of ours. Bob was able to communicate very quickly with us thru text messages. Definitely worth the stay, and great location which was close to everything. Beautiful home and location.

The property is absolutely breathtaking. Both houses have unbelieveable views. Bob and Rose were extremely attentive and accommodating. The houses were extremely clean, well stocked with bathrooms, fresh towels and laundered, crisp linens. The only regret is, I could not bring the homes back with me.

Great vacation!
Our family of 8 adults and 8 children had a wonderful time at the ranch playing tennis, swimming, etc. and the kids loved the trampoline and playground equipment. An extra bonus was the play area in the house which is loaded with interesting toys. We also enjoyed the chickens and the goats that they brought over for the kids to see. When we needed something, they were there quickly to meet our needs with a smile. I loved the baby grand piano!

Amazing Property
We travelled with 2 families to the house for a vacation where we based for trips to LEGOLAND, SD Zoo, SD Safari park, and beach. The house is great and has great amenities for the kids. This mixed with the animals on property and great hiking trails nearby made this an amazing vacation and I would recommend the property for families.

Perfect Family Gathering - wish we were still there!
This property was just perfect for our extended family of 7 adults and 4 children aged from almost 2 up to almost 7. We chose Southern California as a central meeting place for our family, as we live in various parts of the world. I think we used every feature of this house. We loved the heated pool with the electric cover to keep children safe, we adored the family sized trampoline and the excellent tennis court was well used. (The court even has lights, but bring your own racquets if you want a proper game). We played the piano, cooked on the barbecue, watched movies on the TV, did jigsaw puzzles on the formal table and bathed all the little ones in the big master bath (which even had bath toys). In the evenings we sat outside under the gas heaters and marveled at the stars. Bob was an attentive and generous host. He was there in flash when one of the showers wouldn't turn off and he and his lovely wife Rose did us 4 special favors during the week, that were really above and beyond what we expected. The house felt comfortable and safe. The weather in April was perfect - no bugs, no flies, and just right for sitting outside and slipping in and out of the pool. Although the house looks grand in the pictures, it has a cosy feel and has toys, a high chair and there are even bikes for the tennis court and floaties and pool toys for the pool. I would thoroughly recommend this house, especially for families as it is particularly child friendly.

Everything was great! We love San Diego!
We stayed at the ranch in March during our spring break. It was perfect rental property for our three families. Everyone enjoyed the property for many different reasons. The kids were very entertained outside with the tennis court, pool, playground, trampoline, horses and chickens. The two Bunk bed bedrooms were great for the kids too! We enjoyed cooking in the kitchen and hiking close to the property. House is kept clean and organized inside and out. Bob is always easily reachable and helpful. The view from the living room, kitchen sink and tennis court is spectacular! Wish we had the extra time to take some horse riding lessons! Would definitely consider renting again in the future. Thanks for a great stay!

Perfect place for family gatherings of all ages!!
I can't begin to describe how absolutely perfect this home is. Better than described and very clean and well stocked. We had 3 families with kids ranging from 3-19. Our goal was to find a place where the kids wouldn't be bored so the adults could relax and visit with each other. Although that was our goal and it certainly happened- we also joined in with the kids many times because the activities were so much fun. Swimming, basketball, tennis, playground, trampoline, inside Kids play area with lots of fun toys, BBQ, and great patio with tons of seating overlooking all the activities and incredible view of valley. There was also a fun hike nearby, and we visited the beach twice- only about a 10 minute drive. The beach toys, chairs and umbrellas were wonderful- they were a big bonus! Plenty of room to sleep, every person had an extremely comfortable bed. Each room came with flat screen and netflix. It rained everyday but our first day and we still swam everyday but 1 and thats because we left the house for an excursion to Old Town. Perfect weather for our tennis and basketball tournaments. We lighted up the tennis court at night and that was the biggest hit of all I think! What can I say? It was amazing- we dream of coming back! :) Thanks Bob for all your extra efforts to make it really nice. He was always available if we had questions. Two incredibly enthusiastic thumbs up from all of us! Vacation of a lifetime!
