San Ysidro Ranch is a legendary Hollywood hideway. A small enclave of stone and bat & board cottages are nestled in the foothills of Montecito, California.


A two hour drive from Los Angeles brings guests to a rural, yet luxurious setting. Forty one unique cottages and suites wind along San Ysidro's hillside creek and sit under the old California Oak trees.

The Boathouse Restaurant (formally the Brown Pelican) has recently seen an extensive restoration, converting this quaint seaside hideaway into a delectable nautical experience.

Sip on a blood orange margarita, enjoy the Oyster Rockerfeller all while experiencing the salty air and the setting sun over the vast Pacific horizen.
