“Art House & Co. is one of those shops you hope to find when wandering around Ventura — thoughtful, beautifully curated, and full of pieces that feel genuinely special. The selection is excellent, with a mix of art, home goods, and creative finds that make browsing half the fun.
What really makes the place stand out, though, is the owner. Super welcoming, passionate about the pieces in the shop, and happy to chat without ever feeling pushy. It gives the whole place a warm, personal touch that’s hard to fake.
Pro tip: Take your time browsing — there are lots of small details and unique items you might miss on a quick walk-through.”

“The place is bigger than you think, well organized. Lots of Christian books. The owner was great, very helpful. He mentioned they got a sister bookstore in Santa Paula.”
“Love this little gem of a bookstore. I bought an out of print Ansel Adams book for a family member. They were ecstatic! I often stop in and buy books for my specific collection as well.”
“Always a treat to stop in here. Staff is friendly and very helpful. Checkout was busy but moved quickly. Cashier 5765 was very patient and helped us place book orders! Will definitely be back again soon!”
“An amazing local bookstore. They can special order literally any book you want. They recently renovated and opened a large side room specially for kids books and young adults. My kids love coming here and reading a swath of books and buying a few on our way out.”
