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.
