The home was decorated so colorfully with Southwest/Mexican decor, and was right at the beach in a great, private neighborhood. I felt like I was right at home during my stay, and the outdoor front patio and backyard BBQ area are great for gathering!
Traveling to Santa Barbara on business,
this home became our oasis. Two weeks work seemed almost a vacation.
Being hesitant to rent someone’s home,
I am now a huge fan.
Sorry local hotel, I think we are breaking up!

We don't want to leave this beautiful place!
We can't say enough about how pleased we are with our choice to stay at Casa de Lujo in Santa Barbara. What a perfectly designed Spanish style home with a true "Santa Barbara feel". This home was definitely well-thought out and full of everything we needed to relax and enjoy the luxury.
Thank you to the owners for making us feel so pampered---it was all in the details---from the high quality furnishings to the "Pampered Chef" utensils---it was all noticed and appreciated.
Cannot wait to return to Casa de Lujo.....

Love This Santa Barbara Vacation Home - Beautiful, Peaceful, Comfortable, and Perfectly Located!
Casa de Lujo was perfect for our Santa Barbara vacation. Well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, steps from a beautiful beach, and near great restaurants, spas, and shopping. Everything was very clean and there were comfortable places to gather inside and out. We went hiking, saw a movie downtown, toured UCSB and Westmont College, went to the beach, visited the local wharf, ate at some great restaurants (Zaytoon and Brophy Bros), had smoothies and massages, and went to the local aquarium. We often stay in vacation rentals when we travel and Casa de Lujo was the best. On another visit to Santa Barbara, we paid more for hotel rooms and did not get all of the amenities and space that this home offers. Highly recommend this home. We will be back!

Absolutely perfect!
We loved this home and never wanted to leave. If you are looking for a true "Santa Barbara" experience for your family or just a romantic getaway then this home is a must to book! We cannot wait to come again. The owners spared no expenses to details. The amenities were endless. It had top of the line appliances throughout and the decor was true to the "Spanish" style. Every need we had was taken care of. Every bedroom and on-suite were unique to their own color scheme and incredibly decorated. This home furnished us with everything we needed from the beautiful walk to the ocean's edge down to the BBQ, zip locks, seasonings, coffees, teas, every cooking utensil imaginable well...the list is endless. They thought of everything and covered it all. We would recommend Casa de Lujo to anyone. Thank you for such a wonderful four days in Santa Barbara. We can hardly wait to return!
