This was our first time at the Polo House and Bungalows and it was a fantastic experience. Justin corresponded with us upon check in. He was so hospitable. They provided all sorts of wonderful touches to make you feel right at home. Perfectly clean and comfortable. These bungalows are right in town next to all the great shops and restaurants. We’ll definitely be back!

Our family of four had a wonderful time staying at the Polo House and Bungalows. We were in Santa Ynez for a wedding and this location was perfect. We loved being able to walk to grab some coffee or to dinner. It was very peaceful even over a holiday weekend. The Polo House provided a delicious breakfast basket every morning that they would deliver to our porch. We weren’t able to participate in the evening activities, but I’m sure they would have been great! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend to others.

Wonderful hotel in a cute town with shops, coffee, bakeries, etc but not crowded. Much better than staying in super crowded Solvang, which you can visit in just a 7 minute drive. Convenient to everything. Loved it. Bed was super comfy. Bathroom was very clean and had everything we needed. Thanks for an awesome stay.
