About this property

Gorgeous Villa and Pool in Prestigious Rancho Santa Fe Gated Community

A perfect place to stay for visits to Legoland, the San Diego Zoo, the San Diego Zoo Safari Park (San Diego Wild Animal Park) and the Del Mar Race Track (Del Mar Thoroughbred Club).

Location: Prestigious Rancho Santa Fe, San Diego County, California (16 minutes to the Beaches) See Map

Accommodations: 5 Bedrooms, 4.5 Baths

Our home is a beautiful, custom-built Spanish estate situated at the top of the hill on two private, spacious acres. We’re located in the gated community of “The Groves”, formerly a spectacular orange grove situated in the rolling hills of Rancho Santa Fe, and are adjacent to “The Bridges” Championship golf course.

We absolutely love living here. The views are exceptional, the weather is spectacular and we feel fortunate to live in such a beautiful villa. Every room in this fully furnished, 5100 square foot house is large and made more magnificent by vaulted ceilings throughout.

The home’s winning design is centered around a courtyard with an over-sized hot tub and a classic Roman pool (50 feet long!) We spend long days in this courtyard which includes a gorgeous stone dining table with six wrought-iron chairs for evening dinners, as well as an array of premium chairs, lounges and love seats with all-weather mattresses.

The pool area integrates seamlessly with the house, separated by over 20 over-sized floor-to-ceiling doors that open directly onto our courtyards.

The grounds are as beautiful as the interior. We have 30+ orange trees from the original working grove as well as two large rose gardens. The views are gorgeous. We often enjoy watching the hot-air balloons that appear over the horizon in our front yard at sunset.

The amenities are also first class. For outdoor entertaining -- over sized pool, hot tub, porch heaters, porch fans, dramatic lighting and a 52" natural gas grill. For indoor comfort – Viking Range (6 gas burners), Dual Oven, Sub Zero Refrigerator, Premium Bosch Dishwasher, Wine Cooler, Over-sized Wood Fireplace, Two Gas Fireplaces, Master Bathroom with Dual Shower and His/Her Staging Areas, WIFI, 50” LCD TV with Cable and a formal dining room with a beautiful, custom-made table that seats twelve. For children – multiple TV’s and gaming systems, ping pong table, board games, basketball court, bicycles, lacrosse wall and orange juice squeezer (for making fresh orange juice from the adjacent grove). Two private tennis courts exclusive to Groves residents are also located within walking distance.

About the host

Hosted by Bill Knees

Host profile image
We (Bill, Ryan, Adam and Dana -- not pictured) moved to Rancho Santa Fe from the East Coast back in 2007 and absolutely love it here. It truly feels like we're on vacation year-round. Since we still enjoy traveling ourselves, we've only just recently decided to rent out our home when we're gone on a very limited basis. We know you'll love the home and the area as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We rarely rent out our unique home and when we do, it is to fund a fun vacation for our family.

We've been doing this for ten years now and have had nothing but five-star reviews. Honestly, it would be great if we could rent it more.

What makes this property unique

Amazing pool.

Villa-style home with huge glass windows.

Feels like a resort.

Access to fresh oranges from amazing grove.

Beautiful interior and exterior (see the video!)

Easy access to Legoland, Wild Animal Park, San Diego Zoo, Beaches and Del Mar Race Track.
