Casa de los Arcos | House in Carpinteria, California

“The house was great, views were beautiful, grounds beautiful. There were some things that we felt could have been better given the price - the showers were not great - water pressure. The soap and shampoo were not filled up enough for us. Would have liked outside lights and pool lights. Overall though this was a great vacation - thank you for a wonderful place to stay!”

“House was fine, but we rented it mainly for the pool. The info and the welcome email said the pool would be heated for our arrival. It was not, the temperature was not swimmable. We told the manager and it took two days to fix it and heat it. So on two of our three days we could not enjoy the activities we had planned. ”

“The home is in a great location, with gorgeous views! The layout of the home was perfect for our mixed generation group. The primary suite location at the opposite end from the other bedrooms was perfect for the early to bed, early to rise folks. We had a few challenging situations (12hr power outage, post storm debris in pool & on sport court, appliance glitches), but overall the home served us well and we had a great time. ”

“Communication was excellent. Home was stunning. It was perfect for our visit to Carpinteria for a wedding. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool as well as the basketball court. There was plenty of space inside the home. The gardens were gorgeous. Neighborhood was quiet. Would completely recommend to anyone considering this home. ”

“During our recent stay at Casa de los Arcos, we were truly impressed by the elegance and charm of the property. My two sisters and two nieces and I celebrated a big birthday of mine. We had a dream trip! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with stunning architecture and meticulously curated interiors that showcased a perfect blend of modern luxury and rustic coastal vibes. Each bedroom featured comfortable bedding, ensuring restful nights, while the bathrooms were pristine. Outside, the patio area was perfect for lounging, with an inviting pool and lush gardens that provided a perfect escape for relaxation. The location was ideal, offering easy access to downtown Santa Barbara, the beach, and numerous hiking trails.The host was incredibly responsive and helpful. Overall, our stay was unforgettable, combining comfort, elegance, and stunning natural beauty. I highly recommend Casa de Los Arcos for anyone looking for a getaway in the Santa Barbara area! We plan to return next year. ”

“Overall, we had an amazing time at this property! It is very spacious if you are going with a large group. Really beautiful space and had no issues with the neighbors like other guests have written in reviews. I wouldn't say we were very quiet, but at no point did we think we were very loud either. Very healthy level of volume, no need to whisper at all. The rental property company was very nice to work with, however upon arrival we did find that the hot tub was not working. The pool service company came out during our stay and let us know the hot tub had been out of service for months. This was never communicated to us and a big reason we chose this property. The steam shower in the master was also not working - not a huge deal as we did not know it included in the first place. Overall cleanliness was good, but a couple of the guests noticed dead bugs on their pillowcases on the first night they went to sleep. Wasn't "dirty" overall, guessing these rooms maybe hadn't been used in a long time. Also wanted to note, the photos have a lot more lounge area in the pool area than the house includes today. There are no sun beds, only a few loungers that are not cushioned. Enough seating overall outside though!”

“Absolutely incredible property! I recommend this place without hesitation. The house and gardens exude peace and beauty, surrounded by breathtaking mountain views on one side and the ocean on the other. Every inch of the property is thoughtfully designed, offering a level of comfort and coziness that surpasses any other rental I’ve experienced. The house is stocked with every essential, from spices and champagne flutes, can openers to baking pans and pool floaties—everything you could possibly need. It's clear this is a true home, not just a cookie-cutter rental. The decor is stunning, and the gardens are vibrant with lush greenery and hummingbirds. We especially loved drinking our morning coffee in the hot tub while watching the sunrise. The layout of the house is perfect for gathering with family of all ages. The ONLY minor downside is the lack of a sound system—so if music is important, bring your own speakers! Beyond that, this place is perfection! Just book it!”

“Wonderful stay, home was beautiful, dishwasher wasn’t working (needs to be descaled) but property manager was very apologetic and an amazing property. We will be back!”

“Beautiful property, outdoor and pool area is especially amazing! We were a big group and everyone had a great time, we would definitely go back. There were a few issues that came up while we were there and the property management team was incredibly responsive. Highly recommend!”

“This property was stunning! A ranch style Spanish home that hit all the boxes for us Perfect home to relax and enjoy! Our children enjoyed the basketball courts and we all enjoyed the pool. The view of the lush landscaping was divine! My grandparents enjoyed themselves just relaxing! Thank you for hosting my family.”
