About this property

Beautiful Rancho Santa Fe Estate!

Welcome to 'Rancho Del Fresco!' One of luxuryhomesharing properties! This property is named for the fresh ocean breezes that come year round! Enjoy breathtaking views from this luxurious hilltop location. Relax in the warm San Diego sun while enjoying the gentle ocean breezes. This is a fully fenced, gated and secured estate. Sorry no weddings.

You literally NEVER have to leave this property once you arrive! Everything you need is right here. Your own movie theater, ice cream parlor, game room in the basement. the pool is luxurious for both kids (fun slide and baby pool) and adults who with to lounge in the sun or enjoy a cold drink under the shade structure while taking in the magnificent view and vivid colors of flowers and vegetation. Breathe in the fresh citrus in the air and blooming jasmin and lavender scents by the pool. This location is WELLNESS is every sense of the word! Enjoy games of basketball, pickleball and volleyball on the full sized sports court or play a game of soccer on the soccer field. There is a new Pickleball Court!! Short tennis (bring your own paddles.) Everything you ever need is right here on the property.

The main outdoor courtyard is a favorite for all groups. Hire an artesian pizza chef to come cook pizzas for your group in the outdoor wood fired pizza oven. Under the market lights, you will experience an unforgettable scene as your loved ones gather under a star filled sky. Start up the wood burning fireplace and snuggle together to enjoy your evening. Enjoy spectacular sunsets over the ocean in the evening as the sky lights up brilliant colors. The kitchen windows were situated to enjoy both the sunrise and sunset from the same location. It's a beautiful thing.

The main home and guest cottages make up the 13,500 square feet of luxurious serene living. The main home has 9 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms, home theater, cantina, gourmet kitchen and countless areas to relax. The ninth bedroom is a queen bedroom converted from the primary library and shares the primary bathroom. Included on the property is a 2 bed/2 bath guest home. The guest home is separate from the main home but just a short walk away. Perfect for those who need a bit more social distancing.

There is a gated caretaker cottage on a neighboring property at the base of the hill, sharing the main gate, but separate driveway.

This property is inspired by the old San Diego/Spanish style. Get lost in a different time while enjoying all the conveniences of modern living. Conveniently located 5 minutes from world famous beaches and a 5 minutes drive to the Del Mar fair grounds, home of the famous Del Mar races.

Beautiful home but limited privacy
The property was as advertised as it relates to the beautiful home and fun amenities (sport court, theatre room, etc.); however, the listing did not mention that the owners would be staying in the caretaker's house during our stay. While we were enjoying the sport court, the owners frequently drove by making our group feel as though we were being watched throughout our stay. Although the owners did say they were going to be onsite during our stay and offered a full-refund, they didn't mention this caveat until I was onsite at the beginning of our stay while the rest of my group was in transit (a few from out-of-state). I had no other option but to acquiesce to this environment because it would have been extremely difficult to locate, book, and alter plans for my group the same day. I would like to reiterate that the house is indeed beautiful; however, we were disappointed that we didn't receive advance notice that people outside our party would be on the premises.

Perfect Venue for Our Company Retreat
We recently booked this VRBO property for our company retreat, and it surpassed all expectations. The spacious and well-equipped accommodations provided plenty of room for our team to work and relax. The host's attention to detail and hospitality made our stay truly exceptional. Overall, we highly recommend this property for anyone seeking a perfect venue for their next retreat or gathering.

Amazing!!!
Rancho del Fresco is wonderful in every way … From Rebecca’s warm, kind and generous hospitality, to the gorgeous property with its incredible amenities, our family of 24 (from our brand-new infant grand nephew to our ninety-year-old matriarch) enjoyed every minute of our family gathering over this past Labor Day weekend. We had plenty of space to gather together or spread out and do our own things (oh, and what lovely spaces …); Rebecca’s recommendation of a private chef was spot-on; everyone had a real comfy bed; so much was provided for and with such thoughtfulness --bed and bath linens; powerful laundry resources; well-stocked kitchen supplies; etc. We could go on and on …, but we will just say we felt so sad leaving. Our warmest thanks to Rebecca and family for sharing their magnificent home with guests so that we and others could create such sweet memories with our own family too!
