About this house rental

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

Beautiful architectural design and decor combine with a convenient beach and village location, perfect for a holiday with family and friends. There is nothing more romantic than strolling to the beach to watch the sunset, and returning to enjoy drinks by the pool. The large rooms in this historic property, with garden, pool, and ideal location, provide comfort and a great ambiance for your holiday retreat.

Casasol is located near Windansea Beach in a historic exclusive neighborhood called Lower Hermosa. Unlike some La Jolla homes in the hills where there are no sidewalks and it is difficult to walk, the homes in this area are perfect for walking, jogging, or bike riding.
Casasol is a designated historic property built in 1928-29, by noted architects Herbert Mann and Thomas Shepherd. Today the house is restored and modernized, but filled with the same charm and character that the architect gave La Jolla's famous La Valencia Hotel: carved stone benches, leaded glass windows, hand-crafted tiles; high beamed ceilings; carved walnut paneled dining room, tile and wood floors throughout.
The house is equipped with everything you need to play, picnic, and enjoy the beaches, from folding chairs, coolers, to beach towels, and toys . The family room with flat screen TV has an adjacent cabana bath for changing for the pool. Exquisitely furnished, with the best linens, a gourmet eat-in kitchen with travertine floors, granite and Corian surfaces, Casasol will provide a holiday in style and comfort. A wood burning fireplace is equipped with a gas starter, and a pile of firewood is available. The large bedrooms with black out curtains are perfect for a good nights sleep. The large dining room seats up to 10, kitchen breakfast table up to 6, patio table 8. We provide two additional folding beds, and 2 Graco cribs for children.

We are located a 8 minute walk to the beach, 5 minute drive into the village of La Jolla, five minute drive into the hamlet of Bird Rock (coffee houses & restaurants), and 20 minute drive to downtown San Diego and a bit further to the Zoo.

The owners of Casasol have an apartment with a separate entrance located in an adjoining building on the West side of the property. Your access and use of the main house is totally private.

CLEANING PROTOCOL
COVID-19 has resulted in a cleaning protocol which is basically double our former protocol. Special attention is made to clean then disinfect the typical areas we frequently touch (all electrical switches, bannister, knobs, chair arms, backs of chairs). Hand sanitizers are available. Linens are washed at suitable high temperatures. As you know, sun is the best killer of the virus, and you should have all the outdoor sun you need. We always have a complete day to clean before you arrive, and before the next check-in.

No smoking is permitted in the house.

This home is absolutely incredible! If you are looking for a place to stay that has that La Jolla charm, this is it. The history of this home is fascinating and the care the owners have put into preserving it is obvious. Shona, the host, is so incredibly kind. She greeted us with beverages and snacks, gave us a personal tour of the home and had beautifully-wrapped books for our young children who were over the moon with their little welcome gifts. The backyard with its beautiful gardens and huge pool, grill and multiple seating areas, is a great area to relax and have meals. The home has central A/C, which is rare in the area and made for a comfortable night’s sleep. The home is well-stocked with pool and beach supplies, kids toys and books, linens and everything you could need in the kitchen. A very short distance to Windansea Beach, La Jolla Shores, downtown La Jolla, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s and great restaurants, this home is in a great location and beautiful neighborhood. Thank you so much for allowing us to experience your beautiful home and its history!

We really enjoyed our stay, and can't say enough about how thoughtful and responsive the host (Shona) was. The house is just stunning. We were a little concerned initially since we have two young and energetic kids and there are a lot of potential things for them to break and no fence around the pool (which we knew in advance), but it ended up working out well with some extra close supervision. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the gadgets and tools you could want! We really appreciated that there were blackout curtains in the bedrooms too. We had some cooler weather, I think, than normal, so the pool was a bit chilly for some of our party, but most of our family was more than happy to jump in and play! The whole property and location is ideal for a fabulous family vacation. Easy walk down to the beach and lots of beach supplies provided (towels, shade tents, beach toys, coolers, etc.), making it extra easy when travelling from afar. Shona also had a lot of little kid supplies available (pack n play, booster seat, etc.), which was super helpful! Would highly recommend this property to anyone traveling to the area!

This property is really special. It is a beautiful, well maintained historic home in a great location. The owners have literally thought of everything that guests could need or want. We travelled with two toddlers, and the owners provided two folding cribs, a booster chair and high chair, age-appropriate toys and books, pool floats and toys and plenty of gear for the beach. Shona met us and gave us a tour of the property. She and Barry live in a separate apartment on the property - they were always available, but very respectful of our privacy. We will definitely book again if we return to La Jolla.

Shona and Barry were incredible hosts. We were provided an in depth in person tour of the house upon arrival with snacks, beverages. The house was well stocked with many non-perishable food items such as teas, syrup, etc. and useful items such as travel size toiletries, soaps and even fresh flowers! Casasol is a historic property with a beautiful yard and pool. Our kids enjoyed the warm pool daily and we were able to keep easy watch while reading, or BBQing. We truly enjoyed our getaway and would recommend Shona and Barry as hosts to anyone looking for a relaxing retreat.

We had an incredible stay at Shona’s house. It was so incredibly well stocked- from pool toys to kids books to beach equipment to everything you would ever need in the kitchen. Shona was such a kind and courteous host, even volunteering a tour of the neighborhood. The location is great, with great restaurants and beaches in either direction. We loved the house and will absolutely consider it the next time in La Jolla.
