About this house rental

ROMANTIC ARCHITECTURE, WALK TO BEACH, LARGE SUNNY BEDROOMS, PRIVATE POOL AND LARGE ENTERTAINMENT AREAS.

La Jolla of the 1920s—during the era of Old World Spanish Revival design—lends romance and character to this prime beach and village retreat. Beautiful architectural details and stylish décor combine with a superb location, making Casasol the perfect getaway for families and friends. Picture yourself strolling to the beach to watch the sunset, then returning to relax with drinks by the pool.

This historic property offers spacious rooms, a lush garden, and a private pool—creating both comfort and ambiance for your holiday.
LOCATION
Casasol is located near Windansea Beach in La Jolla’s exclusive Lower Hermosa neighborhood. Unlike hillside homes where sidewalks are scarce, this area is ideal for walking, jogging, or bike riding - through the neighborhood and above the beach. You’ll be just an 8-minute walk to the beach or the hamlet of Bird Rock, a 5-minute drive to the Village, and about 30 minutes south to downtown San Diego and the Zoo.

Architecture & History
Built in 1928–29 by noted architects Mann & Shepherd, Casasol has been thoughtfully restored and modernized while preserving its original Spanish Revival character. The architects also designed La Jolla’s landmark La Valencia Hotel, with its same Mediterranean romance. Architectural details abound—carved stone benches, leaded glass windows, hand-crafted tiles, high beamed ceilings, a walnut-paneled dining room, and wood and tile floors throughout.

AMENITIES
-Pool with adjacent cabana bath
-Family room with flat-screen TV
-Gourmet eat-in kitchen with travertine floors, granite & ----Corian counters
-Exquisite furnishings and high-quality linens
-Wood-burning fireplace (with gas starter & firewood)
-Large bedrooms with blackout curtains for restful sleep
-Dining for 10 in the formal room, 6 in the kitchen, and 6+ outdoors
-Two folding beds and two Graco cribs for children
-Beach gear provided: folding chairs, coolers, towels, and toys

PRACTICAL NOTES
-Pool service: Wednesdays around 4:00 p.m.
-Garden care: Friday mornings; extra watering may occur during summer heat
-Owners maintain a private apartment with a separate entrance in an adjoining building; your access and use of the main house are completely private.

Casasol blends the romance of 1920s Spanish Revival La Jolla with modern comfort—everything you need for a stylish and memorable holiday by the sea.

We loved staying at this house. It was incredibly stocked. The pool area was phenomenal and we used it all the time. We also love the location.

We had a lovely stay at Shona and Barry's home. The location was terrific with easy access to local restaurants, grocers, Starbucks, and most importantly the beach. We visit San Diego every year and had not yet stayed in La Jolla. It was hip, family friendly and the home is located between Pacific Beach and La Jolla beach so there are lots of options! I always appreciate a home that has plenty of items like toilet paper, seasonings, random ketchup, etc and this home was ready to go with easy to use items. Very helpful and not stingy which is huge for me! I hate having to buy toilet paper, coffee and/or salt when I arrive at a property. Shona and Barry were ready for guests. Laundry, towels, beach items, etc was all terrific too. Our only gripe was that the internet was atrocious. We have a large family so our bandwidth needs to run comps and tablets might have been more then the average family. Not sure! My cell phone could not take calls in the home and I could not easily work with the limited internet and cell access. All in all amazing. Highly recommended!
