Beautiful 2 Master br Home in secure community of El Dorado Ranch San Felipe!

PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS DESCRIPTION BEFORE BOOKING. Thanks.

Peterson #2 at El Dorado Ranch is BACK - with SO MANY new and improved features for your BEST vacation option in San Felipe!

Secure gated community, High Speed Wi-Fi. Stream with your Wi-Fi devices!, Satellite TV 200 channels. Dishwasher (New!) Two exclusive swimming pool complexes, brand new Mediterranean-style gazebo, premium sound system for TV and music, workout room with treadmill and weights. (NEW!) FULL RV HOOKUP--50 amp electric, water, and wastewater, enhanced landscaping and fresh exterior paint.
This beautiful and comfortable home is best for a MAXIMUM of FOUR ADULTS UNLESS YOU ARE BRINGING AN RV or TRAILER and YOU LET ME KNOW AT LEASE ONE WEEK PRIOR TO ARRIVAL. Four adults OR two adults and two children maximum applies without RV or trailer reservation. You will only receive four guest passes unless you make special arrangements with me in advance--through VRBO only. There is $10 per guest per night additional for each RV guest over the home limit of four.
$40 resort fee per family charges AT CHECK IN - at El Dorado Ranch Reception, located at the La Ventana del Mar Gate.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES!
New outdoor chair cushions - SO comfortable! New bar stools! Two brand new A/C-Heat split units - nice and COOL! Just installed full size washer and dryer!
You'll adore this gorgeous San Felipe home in El Dorado Ranch. Fantastic lay out, awesome indoor and outdoor living areas in a master suite home for ultimate peace and tranquility. Large lot, RV parking on property with FULL hookup (By SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT ONLY), mountain and sea views, 55" satellite TV, 24/7 security gate, high ceilings, a short 3 mile drive to the Ranch's private pools, tennis courts, ATV trails, and private beach. Two pools - one brand new, one near the private beach. Ride your ATV right from the house - quad heaven! BBQ grill, large brick patio faces ocean. Large observation deck for panoramic views. Sparsely populated but the few neighbors we have are wonderful.
A quick drive to Ranch facilities, including the championship golf course - the charing fishing village of San Felipe. Great restaurants and grocery stores, friendly locals, and though we have a variety of food choices San Felipe is a sea food lover's dream - especially for giant fresh shrimp.
(Please note: $35 Resort fee collected upon check in at El Dorado Ranch Guest Services at the La Ventana del Mar Gate - approx. 6 miles north (before) downtown San Felipe. For pool and gate passes, etc.) WiFi is also available at the Ranch pools, the Ranch restaurants, Pavilion, La Palapa, and downtown. The private Ranch beach is 3 miles from the house and includes drive up parking and palapas-- and is one of the best beaches in the San Felipe area.
Check-in at La Ventana del Mar - the main El Dorado Ranch gate - on the left as you are driving south towards San Felipe. See RECEPTION sign entrance area.
Please note the short drive right up to the gate of the El Dorado Ranch beach is the best way to visit the beach/Sea of Cortez and the swimming pools at the Ranch. Carrying chairs and coolers in the sun is no fun - and there are a very limited number of higher priced condos directly adjacent to the beach. So enjoy the cool and quiet of the house - and the A/C in your vehicle on your way to the beach and the pools!
Check in at 4:00pm - Checkout at noon. Pay resort fee of $35 per family, get key, pool passes, and directions to house, etc. at Reception at the La Ventana del Mar gate located on the left approximately 21 miles south of the checkpoint at Mexico HWY 5 and HWY 2.

PLEASE REMEMBER - NO QUAD RIDING or FIREWORKS ARE ALLOWED ANYWHERE ON EL DORADO RANCH PROPERTY. You may use vehicle roads only to pass through to a destination - like the POOLS! Great fireworks are avaliable in San Felipe and there are places to use them. If you use them anywhere on Ranch property security WILL come and you can be ejected from Ranch property.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a private pool. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Take advantage of recreational opportunities offered, including an outdoor pool, a hot tub, and a fitness center. Additional amenities at this vacation home include concierge services and barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Clean and comfortable desert home in secure area
This rental was perfect for me and my dog. Tiled floors, great patio, and second enclosed fence. Many homes out here have wide open patios. The house is very equipped with all required cookware and serving placements. The yard is maintained weekly by gardeners. The owner is a very good communicator and responds quickly to requests The Ranch has lots of included activities like bingo, pickleball, and many other events.

We had a fun relaxing time!
Thank you John for sharing your home with our family. This is our second time staying here. We like the location and security it provides. Check in is easy. The home is clean and had the essentials. We went at the beginning of Corona virus so many of the restaurants were closing and pool/ jacuzzi was closed. It was bad timing on our part, but already had reservations so we went for it.

Nice
I really enjoyed it . It is a nice house and the view is great. The only problem we hade it was that the refrigerator didn’t work and we had to buy ice continuously to keep our food cold. Other problem it was the WiFi I couldn’t make it work. The rest it was great . Thank you very much.

Beautiful home in gorgeous location
Me and my family loved this property. We've stayed in San Felipe many times and in various types of accommodations. This property has been our favorite. The home feels like it's located in a remote desert, but without being deprived of the amenities one has back home. It's in a lovely community with large lots, so there is lots of privacy. The home isn't huge, but the architect expertly designed the property to feel open. You will not be cramped with 6 adults. My favorite part was the rooftop deck and back patio. If you're looking for a great getaway at a reasonable price, look no further.

nice place to end the day
John was a great host throughout the process, answering all questions, providing information, and sharing his personal reflections of living in San Felipe. Thanks John! The check-in process was easy, quick and as stated. The security staff were ever pleasant and courteous. The house was clean and a good layout. The location (at the most northerly entrance to El Dorado) was some distance out of town but a nice location to enjoy the silence of the desert. Sunrises over the ocean and sunsets behind the mountains were wonderful ways to begin and end the days...or simply reflect. Met some very helpful fellow Canadians on the visit who also live in San Felipe or have been going down there for 20, 30 years plus which was a bonus. Will be re-connecting with them for further info and insights as we research our winter getaway location.

Peaceful place
I would call this a "casita"! It was very clean and contained mostly everything we needed. It was very peaceful to wake up in the mornings and sit outside with our coffee and enjoy the tranquility of the desert. We also thoroughly enjoyed the activities offered by El Rancho. We played tennis in the mornings then played water volleyball in the afternoon. We met some wonderful people who welcomed us into their groups. We also listened to live music while we were there. We were there only 2 nights, but would like to come back to explore San Felipe and the surrounding areas in more detail.

Perfect house, just not adequately furnished.
We loved the house and it's quiet location. Loved the roof top deck and the lower patio for morning sunrise with coffee. Livingroom furniture was comfy and tv was fabulous. House was very nicely decorated with ample lighting and was very clean. That's where it ends... One bedroom right off the livingroom has the head of the bead on the same wall as the tv, impossible to sleep while someone is watching tv. That bedroom however has the comfy bed and a huge projection tv in it. The other bedroom which I would have preferred was off the kitchen on the opposite end of the house but...had an ancient spring bed that was hard as a rock and bouncy, no way I could sleep on for 2 weeks. Plus no tv in that room. So if the 2nd tv was in the larger, bedroom and the bed was replaced everyone would have been happy. As it stands I would not rent this house again unless there was a new bed. No one wants to sleep on an ancient spring bed so that room was useless to us and our friend slept on the couch witch was right outside our bedroom door with the tv on late. Made for an uncomfortable vacation.
