Casa del Arte - a modern desert oasis ft. in Vogue - Villas for Rent in Todos Santos, Mexico

If you have multiple tabs open with different Airbnb options close them all and book this one! Came for a girls trip and felt like we were in our private, immaculately decorated resort. We started out the first night with a private chef and bartender that Armando helped organize and the fire pit and outdoor fireplace and bar and hot tub were the best welcome into our weekend. Close enough to todos but you def need a car. Maricela’s breakfasts and lunches were amazing and I miss them! No negative things to say at all, perfect trip.

Thank you Chris, Thank you Armando  for doing grocery shopping even finding rare American ingredients - molasses and ginger roots that we wanted for making gingerbread Xmas cookies - and answering so many of our questions and arranging a chef to cook the BEST fresh sea food Mexican meal in town for us in the outdoor dining setting. Thank you, Marisela (breakfast cook) for delicious authentic Mexican meals. Each room was so beautifully decorated with magnificent and comfortable furniture (great comfy beds) and interesting art. The sunset view of ocean, palm trees, sound of crickets in December, oriole bird songs in the morning, butterflies and hummingbirds visiting flowers and cool evening breeze made this place truly heavenly. Swimmable child-friendly beach 30 min away. A beach for watching whales walking distance away. Lots of beach stuff and bug spray available. Welcoming generous treats (Tequila, guacamole, chips, beer, seltzer, fruits). Best AirBnB in 10 years for my family.

Casa del Arte was an amazing home to stay in. We had a large group of friends and family, and we felt right at home here. This home is beautifully designed and well taken care of. Chris and Armando are super responsive and helped ensure our trip was smooth. They went above and beyond to provide everything we needed for a great vacation. Thank you!

Bhargav, thank you for the kind words — I’m glad you felt at home in our villa. Armando and I appreciated hosting you and would be happy to welcome you back next time you’re in Todos Santos.

Very cool home with some great amenities. Indoor / outdoor living and great access to the beach as well as several great restaurants 5 min drive away. Fun part of Todos and great home for small groups.

Chris's place in Todos Santos is magical--beautiful and spacious! It was perfect for my family (3 adult couples), as we each had a private area for bed/bath but also plenty of shared lounge space between the living room, pool and outdoor kitchen, and roof deck. It's a short drive into town, so it's great if you have a rental car(s). Chris and house manager Armando gave us tons of great recommendations for the area! It's also a very quick walk to scenic ocean views. The perfect place for a group in lovely Todos Santos!

Thank you, Emily—so glad our villa was a perfect fit for your group and that you enjoyed the private spaces, shared areas, and nearby ocean views. It was a pleasure helping you explore Todos Santos, and I’m delighted you found Armando’s recommendations useful. You’re welcome back anytime for another relaxing stay!

Our stay at Chris’ house was fantastic! We all only had great things to say about the house, and the service. Armando was amazing to us 😊. Thanks again! We loved our stay in Todos Santos.

Absolutely gorgeous property. Our group of 7 enjoyed spending a weekend here and everyone had lots of room to spread out. I stayed in the casita space and it was very quiet and cozy. It was windy and chilly while we were there so we loved the hot tub and heated salt water pool. We made fires every night in the outdoor fireplace in the pool bar. The beach is a few minutes walk away. The host recommended a chef (Jorge de La Rosa) who came and cooked us a great dinner at the casa one night bc we didn’t want to leave the house. My photographer friend took lots of cool photos of us there because every single space is super vibey. Only thing to note is some of the rooms lack blinds/curtains and the art studio room doesn’t have a ton of privacy if folks are walking around, but it wasn’t a problem for our group. I was sad to leave!

A beautiful home, with great outdoor spaces, the beach, and surfing. One of the most enjoyable AirBnB places I've ever visited!

This is a spectacular home to relax and unwind. The property has most amenities that you need, is comfortable, clean, and accommodating. Great for groups, and a close walk to the ocean to catch the sunset. This house is a few minutes outside of town, so you will need to think through hiring a car service or ensuring that you have a designated driver if you plan to go out on the town. Armando, the local host, was super helpful and welcomed us with beer and guacamole. The perfect touch to get the weekend started :)

The Airbnb was stunning- just like the pictures, but even more luxurious. The furniture was gorgeous but also comfortable, the turkish towels were perfect for the pool, and the beds were comfortable. Armando the house manager was an incredible host. He was so responsive beforehand, went grocery shopping for us, and found us a breakfast cook, which I highly recommend. Sammy served us a delicious, different breakfast every morning, did all the dishes and neatened up, all for a reasonable hourly price. You’ll definitely want a car for this spot. It’s 7 minute drive to town but it would be a dusty, long, and hot walk. The walk to the beach isn’t far, but note that the beach isn’t swimmable- most beaches in Todos and even Cabo are not, so that’s not a knock on this beach. You’ll also want eye masks for sleeping- there are basically no blinds.

Beautiful house and location. Everything a group needs to really enjoy Todos Santos. Perfect spot to watch the sunset, room to spread out and pretty pool and fire pit to enjoy on property!

Gorgeous and comfortable setting for three small families for New Year's Eve. The host, Armando, was incredibly responsive and helpful.

Casa del Arte is the ideal house in Todos for a group trip. The buildings and grounds have the best energy - so peaceful and sacred. We really enjoyed our 3 nights here. Armando (the house manager) and Chris were always extremely quick responders. Would give 6 stars if I could.

A really beautiful, special property a few minutes outside of main Todos Santos. Stayed here with a small group of friends and we loved exploring the many places to relax and hang: record room, pool and hot tub, fire pit. Would stay here again next time I found myself in Todos!

Absolutely stunning, could not have asked for a more beautiful backdrop to my 40th birthday celebration. Everything was luxurious and comfortable, Armando was easy to communicate with and he went above and beyond to make us comfortable. I fell in love with Todos Santos and won’t hesitate to book this magical place again.

Pictures do not do justice! Home is much larger in person and updated with all amenities ( except washer/ dryer) Tons of natural light ( bring eye masks if sensitive for sleeping) and the design detail is stunning. So much thoughtfulness put into the design and all appliances ( including pool/ spa)  very easy to use. Armando ( house manager) was always readily available, so kind and very helpful which gave us such a memorable trip. We cant wait to return!

I’m speechless! Casa del Arte was the perfect place to celebrate my birthday. Everyone in our group is an artist/creator and we felt so inspired by the architecture, interior design, and layout of the property. It’s stunning and exactly as described plus more! There are tons of bathrooms so we call could comfortably get ready and never had to wait to shower (huge plus). The kitchen is stocked so if you love to cook, it’ll be easy! There are also tons of table settings to add to the vibes ✨ It’s a short drive to town and to Cerritos for swimmable waters & surfing 🏄🏼‍♂️ Only down fall were the mosquitoes 🦟 not sure if this is a usual issue or a result of the recent hurricane. We were eaten alive!! Thankfully we found citronella incense to burn outside every door from sunset through the night. We also bought citronella candles to burn inside the doorway. That created a barrier and kept bugs out perfectly! Hosts were responsive, kind, & helpful! There’s no doubt i’ll be back! 🩵

Absolutely stunning home and fantastic overall experience. Casa Del Arte is its own private resort that exceeds expectations and is somehow even more beautiful than the photos!!! Chris and the property manager are highly attentive, helpful, kind, and accommodating. We had the best time and truly cannot wait to return. Could not recommend this more!

Pictures are amazing, yes, but can't capture just how amazing this place is. The compound and everything within it is beautifully designed, impeccably furnished, well thought out and a true pleasure to experience. The beds, linens, cookware and appliances are all top notch. We wanted to pack up everything and take it home with us. The pool was fantastic. Always clean and a great respite from the heat of August in the Baja. Due to the temps, we had no need for the hot tub or fire pit, but they look like they would be great too. We had a few small hiccups with internet and air conditioning when we first arrived, but Chris (owner) and Armando (local liaison) were both fantastic with getting issues resolved quickly. Can't say enough about how accommodating and helpful Armando is. He lives just a few minutes away and was there in a moments notice to help us with anything at all. If you can afford this place, stop looking and book it. You won't regret it.

A beautifully decorated and unique property that blends modern with Mexican architecture and a stunning landscaped garden, pool and outdoor dining area. Chris and Armando were very communicative and helpful hosts and accommodated our requests in traveling with a toddler, newborn and friends with cats! We look forward to staying again in future!

The house is beautiful, Armando is very attentive and I explain the whole operation of the house and always attentive to how we were.

La casa está hermosa, Armando muy atento y me explico todo el funcionamiento de la casa y siempre al pendiente de cómo estábamos.

Beautiful artists home, kids friendly. Best part about the house are the aesthetics. Everything was chosen for its design which we enjoyed. Great pool and hot tub area. There is a neighbor next door but still very private. Good location in Todos Santos… not far from the beach, close to the town! Enjoy all the great farm to table food and the road less traveled :)

Our stay at Chris' place was excellent for a family retreat. Access to beach was great, where we did a few morning runs; some of us saw whales. The house design was peculiar and provided space for all 7 people. We used the outdoor kitchen and grill a lot with the great weather, and at night, we used the fire pit. The terrace also was great to see the sunset. You can always drive to the center of Todos Santos for restaurants and shops. Communication with Chris and Armando was great, always responsive. I would definitely recommend this house if you want to stay a bit away from main resorts and enjoy time with friends and family.

Gorgeous property and amazing hosts.  The hosts thought of every detail for our vacation.  They shared their local expertise and recommendations and also made their local property manager available as needed.  The property is a very well appointed, special santury to spend time with family.  In addition, the property is very conveniently located to Todos Santos and is very private/secure.   We loved our time and will be back.

A stunning place to stay in Todos Santos with everything you need for a comfortable visit. Cooks will love how well equipped the indoor and outdoor kitchens are, and the pool and hot tub are perfect.

Casa De Arte is pure Magic! The energy, the location, the space (inside and outside). You literally don't need to leave! While you will want to leave because the food, arts, and ocean in Todos Santos are some of the best in Mexico.  You can expect an easy-going, comfortable, all-inclusive stay; with a 5-minute walk to sunsets at the beach or stay back and sip some tequila from the rooftop view.  A Must Book!
