Welcome to The Tennis Ranch by AvantStay — your private estate above California's rolling hills.
Perched on the hills with sweeping views of the valley, this extraordinary 8-bedroom, 6-bath retreat blends timeless elegance with modern comfort for the ultimate Southern California escape. Here, sun-drenched days unfold across a private resort-style setting, where every corner has been designed for connection, relaxation, and unforgettable gatherings.
The backyard is a paradise of its own: a sparkling pool framed by lush landscaping, multiple al fresco dining spaces, and ample loungers to soak up the California sun. Sip your morning coffee on an upper balcony as you watch the valley wake below, or end the evening with cocktails by the water as the sky turns shades of gold and violet.
Inside, soaring windows flood the main living area with natural light and Encinitas vistas. Gather with your group around the plush sofas, enjoy a round of pool or foosball, or host celebratory meals in the elegant dining area. The fully equipped kitchen, complete with stainless steel appliances, a large island with bar seating, and abundant counter space, makes entertaining effortless.
Each bedroom is a retreat of its own, featuring curated furnishings and luxe bedding. Select suites offer private balconies where you can slip away for quiet moments and breathtaking views. Six beautifully appointed bathrooms provide spa-like comfort, while thoughtful touches like in-home laundry and private parking make every stay seamless.
Located just minutes from the beach, tasting rooms, and hot air balloon rides, The Tennis Ranch offers both seclusion and proximity to some of Southern California's most celebrated experiences. Whether you're planning a family reunion, a celebratory weekend, or a serene getaway with friends, this estate invites you to indulge in the very best of wine country living.
