This is a beautiful home with great outdoor spaces for fun and relaxing. Lots for kids to do. Pool was delightful. Bob is very friendly and responsive and he is quick to act on anything you need.

Don’t even give it a second thought! The Ranch by the Sea is amazing. Wonderful memories will be had. Our family of 5 (Mom, Dad, and 3 teen boys) had a awesome time! At first we were concerned that it would be too big but it suited us perfectly and we could see how it would comfortably suit much larger parties as well. There was so much to do and see. Pros: *Views, they were amazing!!! Just stunning. We loved hanging out on the balconies and enjoying them. *The flowers and plants growing on the property were gorgeous. It was fun to walk around and take a look at them all. *The horses, Blondie & Culpepper were super sweet. We enjoyed visiting them, petting them, & feeding them carrots. *The video games & pool table provided a lot of fun. One of the pinball machines was not working when we got there but once we informed Bob he had it repaired immediately. *Bob, the owner, was very responsive to our needs. He typically responded right away. *Surplus of supplies. The place was well stocked with the exception of shampoo, conditioner & body wash but those were easy to get down the road at Albertsons. *Alphonso the private chef, recommended by Bob, was out of this world good! We HIGHLY RECOMMEND having him come cater a few meals. We had him 2 of our 5 nights and wish we would have had him over more. It was such a treat and the food was sooooo good and reasonably priced. If I had to come up with some Cons it would be the following: *The place could use a sprucing up of paint here & there. *The diving board in the pics is no longer there. *The microwave was wonky but worked with some finessing. None of the Cons were even remotely deal breakers, just things we noticed. Overall this place was just wonderful. As a family that has rented dozens of homes, we found this one to be our favorite. We would definitely love to visit again!

The property was incredible, the pool and hot tub were really nice. We had a group of 22 adults and Bob made the check-in process incredibly easy. Lots of space with enough beds for everyone. Would definitely rent again!

The property was fantastic! Bob was a very communicative and enthusiastic host. He provided us with lots of info and details on the house and activities. He gave a great deal to stay at the house for a couple extra days. He cared about his guests and making sure all the aspects of the property were sufficient for us! Great heated pool and jacuzzi, and beautiful patio! Amazing experience overall.
