Sea Horse Ranch Review

This enclave of 105 private homes, each with large front and back yard and private pool, opened in 1993 as an elite bastion of private homes set within a vast country club-like setting. Today 14 of those homes are available as rentals, with houses starting at just under $1,000 a week (they are also available by the night). It all resembles an upscale American suburb, with a short drive to reach two tiny communal beaches. The equestrian center, with dozens of horses grazing on wide expanses, is the most stellar feature. There are five groomed clay tennis courts as well (ball boys are included). Three of the houses at Sea Horse are reviewed separately here. Though all include a housekeeper who cooks breakfast (you supply the groceries) and a gardener, a chef can also be requested. Sea Horse Ranch will buy food for your villa for $50 and also has a nanny service. The beach club restaurant overlooking a dramatic cove delivers.
