About this house rental
Perched atop a hill on five gorgeous acres, Rancho Santuario is a stunning five bedroom Spanish oasis retreat. Centrally located on the well-known Refugio Road, this newly remodeled masterpiece is the very definition of luxury. The sweeping views of the Santa Ynez Valley and Figueroa Mountains are absolutely breathtaking. Rancho Santuario is perfect for outdoor living and entertaining, with a built-in gas barbecue and imported wood-burning pizza oven. You can dine outdoors at the large teak al fresco table or relax in the polished outdoor lounge furniture overlooking the beautiful salt water, infinity pool, with spa.
The six-bedroom home is casual yet sophisticated, with an entertainment system, expansive gourmet chef’s kitchen, large center island and large dining room table for twelve — all with mountain views. The private master suite has three balconies, a large walk-in closet, separate sitting room, steam shower and bath with — you guessed it — mountain views. Numerous fruit trees pepper the property (pomegranate, orange, peach, apple, lemon), as do gorgeous ancient oaks. A barn with stables and numerous riding rings grace the property, adding further charm to this exceptional estate. Nestled halfway between Santa Ynez and Los Olivos, you’re five minutes to these quaint towns with restaurants, tasting rooms, and of course, the wineries beyond. The area is perfect for outdoor activities including horseback riding, hiking, bicycling and is just fifteen minutes from Lake Cachuma and Alisal Golf Club. This is a perfect getaway offering the best of the Santa Ynez Valley.
***Prior to the recent Santa Barbara County ordinance restricting short term rentals (31 days or less), this home has always been rented as a 6 bedroom property, accommodating up to 12 adults. Current code only allows 6 adults ( in 3 bedrooms)—additional children are allowed, up to maximum of 10. We abide by this ordinance. Rentals of 31 days or more allow up to 12 adults. We want to accurately disclose that this home is larger than a 3 bedroom home, for those seeking 31 days or more rentals

We had the best stay at this stunning Spanish oasis in Santa Ynez. From the moment we arrived, it felt like a true escape — the property is absolutely beautiful, thoughtfully designed, and perfectly captures that relaxed wine country vibe.The outdoor space was a highlight for us — gorgeous pool, amazing views, and plenty of space to lounge, hang out, and enjoy the sunshine. It was ideal for a group weekend and made everything feel both elevated and effortless.Inside, everything was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed. You can tell a lot of care went into the details, and it made the whole experience feel seamless.The location is also perfect — close to wineries and town, but still feels private and tucked away.Couldn’t recommend this place more. It was the perfect setting for such a special weekend, and we would absolutely come back!

This home is centrally located in Santa Ynez Valley with exquisite views of Figueroa Mountain. One of the bedrooms and baths is actually in the barn, detached from the main house. Think of it as a barndominium. Would stay again.
