About this house rental
Available for 30 days or longer this unique 70-year-old-world retreat is located on one of the highest streets in the Covenant of Rancho Santa Fe offering stunning panoramic sunset views of the valley and hills beyond. A short drive to and from the Del Mar Races and the Pacific Ocean.
The gracious main living area that is being offered consists of 2 bedrooms, formal LR & DR, FR, and lanai plus window walls throughout that showcase gorgeous panoramas. Enjoy succulent gardens, & sequestered benches for reading/meditating. BBQ under the stars w/ alfresco dining on the terrace. The "Spanish Villa" is the main house that is on a 3.25-acre property. If you need a third bedroom, ask about the separate guest suite, "La Casita".
This single-level old-world Spanish-style vacation home is well-appointed and located on a quiet street in the picturesque hills of historic Rancho Santa Fe. You will be surrounded by gated ranches, groves, views all around, and other multi-million dollar Spanish and Mediterranean estates. On the lower part of the property is a dramatic disappearing edge swimming pool with expansive views, and a spa (hot tub) to bask in the San Diego sun.
ROOM DESCRIPTIONS:
The master bedroom offers a California King bed with cool cotton sheets and down pillows for a great night's sleep. This bedroom looks out to the colorful succulent garden and you will wake up to a mix of different plants and textures highlighted by the rising morning sun. The master bathroom offers plenty of space for getting ready in the morning, a dual-head shower, double sinks, and is accented with natural stone.
The second bedroom has a writing desk w/ chair, a bureau, offers plenty of light, and a large window with amazing expansive views of the valley and beyond. The bathroom has a granite-lined shower and doubles as a powder room.
There is a comfortable den that is perfect for watching TV and relaxing at the end of the day fireside. The sunroom is filled with morning light, surrounded by windows, garden views, and is perfect for yoga or as an office space. The formal living room has plenty of space for relaxing, reading a book, or just enjoying the expansive views. The formal dining room includes a rustic old-world table with breathtaking views of the valley and the swimming pool area. From this room, you can also see one of the few sculptures by artist Bruno Romeda that was featured in Architectural Digest last century.
The resort-style disappearing edge swimming pool has plenty of seating, lounge chairs, and a table for dining al-fresco. The hot tub is available for use during pool hours. The pool is not heated. The pool is limited to use between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. The pool is accessed via sloping stairways. Occasionally the pool is shared with others.
This home is ideal for those looking for understated luxury in a historic community setting filled with towering eucalyptus trees. Keep in mind that this is an older home so expect quirks that come with classic structures of the past.
Only minutes to Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar, Solana Beach, and Encinitas. A short drive to most beaches, La Jolla, Torrey Pines, San Diego, Balboa Park, San Diego Zoo, Coronado, and Seaworld.
There are several great restaurants in town and grocery shopping is available in Del Mar, Solana Beach, and Encinitas. This is a quiet neighborhood perfect for relaxation and a peaceful stay.

All areas of the house have been cleaned following health authority cleaning guidelines. All high-touch surfaces have been sanitized with disinfectant. Hand sanitizer and soap are available throughout. Safety features such as smoke alarms, and carbon monoxide detectors are installed, and a fire extinguisher is available.
This is the perfect place for a "RESET".

Our family stayed at Holly's place for close to a week and had a lovely visit. We travel to San Diego often but have never stayed in Rancho Santa Fe. Holly's place is private and tranquil, nicely landscaped and has a spectacular view. My daughter enjoyed exploring the property and spending time in the beautiful pool and hot tub.
We had a minor hiccup with the hot tub and Holly took care of the matter immediately. Holly is very kind and was a wonderful host. :)

This is an older classic Rancho SF property. We stayed in the main house which has 2 bedrooms each with attached bathrooms. We love the beautiful homes in that area, so it was fun to be part of the community for a few days. We spent a lot of time just hanging out poolside. Host was very friendly.

We had no idea what Ranch Santa Fe was when booking this house. Boy were we surprised! This place is heaven on earth. So much greenery everywhere and the weather was perfect. This house is amazing. We were able to open the windows and feel the breeze cool the house. The pool was perfect and the host is super friendly. Couldn’t ask for a better place to stay.

Great location, amazing views and privacy. Great pool and jacuzzi. Great for a family. Only a 10-15 minute drive to Encinitas. A five minute drive to the town. We would definitely stay there again.

Holly’s place is just an incredible breathe of fresh air and a beautiful escape nestled in Rancho Santa Fe with incredible views. I stayed on the property with my 2 kids age 8 and 6 and we all had an amazing time. Holly is so warm, welcoming and inviting! We felt the utmost privacy, safety and calmness while we were there. The linens, beds and pillows are top notch and so comfortable! We can’t wait to go back. Thank you Holly!

Upon arrival I was welcomed into this beautiful home that was so warm and inviting. The decor was breathtaking and the views from every angle of the property were just amazing. The landscaping, the sunrise, and the sunset. There are so many wonderful attractions in the San Diego area , Los Angeles is just two hours away and Tijuana, Mexico is a short drive, but I found myself wanting to stay and just enjoy the beautiful Rancho Santa Fe. The bedding, the towels, and everything provided by these amazing hosts were top notch. This is a home away from home that you will never want to leave. I can't wait to visit again.

This beautiful home is classic “Old Rancho”. If you know what that means, you know. If not, just realize that you are fortunate enough to be saying in a heavenly little slice of history. Beautifully maintained, appropriately updated and spotless. Thank you, Holly!

Everything was as in the photos and very private and quiet all throughout my stay. The pool area was amazing to relax at as were the seemingly endless gardens all throughout. The host was very attentive to my needs and very hospitable. I recommend this place to anyone looking to getaway from the noise. It was very close to the center of RSF, a few minutes from the beach and a nice drive to San Diego. The views all throughout were unparalleled — whether views towards the lush valley or views of the gardens! Flowers and trees were scattered all around the property. The bed was super comfortable and the bathroom was spa-like. It was the best sleep I’ve had in a while. Can’t wait to return for another stay!

Surprised
The description that is given about the property is all accurate other than the den being described as a place of relaxation after a long day. The chairs had to be switched over and managing the tv was a problem along with the heating & cooling system. There was no instructions for either which caused frustration. I’m sure the issues will be taken care of as the owner is very hospitable and responsive.
The big surprise however was that I was not aware that the owner lived in the basement of the house when I rented it. She resides in the lower part of the house by the pool with her dog which was not revealed in the description or anywhere on the site. I was aware by the advertisement that other guest may be staying in the guest house on the property but not aware of the owner being present and living in the house.
Another surprise was how beautiful the surroundings were as well as the home itself. The pictures of the place do not capture all the beauty in the home and outside of it.
Although the surroundings are beautiful , because there is home being built just below the constant noise during the weekdays was annoying.
