Polo House & Bungalows
Set in the heart of downtown Santa Ynez, Polo House & Bungalows is a 14-key boutique retreat where refined design, relaxed luxury, and the heritage of California’s polo culture converge. Just steps from the town’s most celebrated restaurants and artisan shops, and a short bike ride from world-class wineries, the property offers an intimate gateway to Santa Ynez at its most authentic.
Thoughtfully designed to reflect the rhythm of the polo lifestyle, the hotel blends modern architecture with equestrian influence—clean lines softened by natural textures, tailored interiors paired with effortless comfort. Each bungalow and guest space feels curated yet unpretentious, capturing the balance of sport, leisure, and understated elegance.
Here, mornings begin slowly, afternoons unfold among the vines, and evenings return you to a setting that feels both polished and personal. Polo House & Bungalows is not a place to pass through, but one to settle into—where California wine country is experienced with intention, style, and quiet confidence.

Why they chose this property

Santa Ynez is the gateway to Santa Barbara Wine Country. Located just off of the main downtown street, our guests can walk to the best coffee and sandwich shops around, 6 of the very best restaurants in the area, visit 3 fun tasting rooms, enjoy a variety of eclectic shops (we even have a custom cowboy hat shop), and enjoy live music and dancing at the famous Maverick Saloon.

What makes this property unique

Six stand-alone bungalows line a quiet cobblestone street, offering rare privacy and space in downtown Santa Ynez. Each bungalow features approximately 450 sq ft of interior living space plus a private front porch. Inside, you’ll find a California king bed and a pullout sofa, a spa-style bathroom with a walk-in shower and premium amenities, and a thoughtfully equipped kitchenette with a mini fridge and microwave. The bungalows may be rented individually or together, making them ideal for couples, friends, or small groups seeking flexibility and independence.
