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.

    Loved this house for our one-week visit to San Diego! The home, although a historical gem, has all the modern amenities needed for a comfortable stay. We took advantage of the short walk to the beach as well as to the shops and restaurants in La Jolla. Highly recommend!

    House was very nice but the “hosts” were constantly in what I assumed would be our private space. If you want privacy I would not book this property. They also tried to blame previous damage to a couch on us. This stay was not pleasant.

    This is a truly exceptional property. The hosts, Shona and Barry, are extremely friendly and helpful and were always available. The home is equipped with resort-quality towels, linens and bedding and high-end kitchen appliances, cookware, utensils and other kitchen supplies. The home is stocked with everything we needed for our stay, including toys for our toddlers and towels, chairs, toys and other accessories for the beach.

    Casasol has it all. Exquisite architecture in the Spanish style, stunning dining room, with wood paneling, a beautiful chef’s kitchen with everything you need, lots of space for visitors to spread out, and a show stopping swimming pool surrounded by lovely gardens and plenty of outdoor space to entertain. And only minutes from La Jolla Village and local beaches. We were a family of six from age 76 to 2 1/2 and everyone loved this property. So many thoughtful touches by supreme host, Shona. If you’re headed to the beach, she has you covered with towels, a nice stroller, sand toys, and so much more..The home is lovingly restored from a shell of its former self. The history is fascinating too. Shona is a superb and welcoming host who thinks of every detail.You get the idea. Treat yourself!

    We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful historical home in La Jolla. It was incredibly relaxing—super clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. The amenities were fantastic, especially for families, with plenty of kids’ toys and beach gear. The pool was a highlight, and the beds were very comfortable. A perfect spot for a restful and fun getaway!

    Beautiful, historic home in the heart of La Jolla. Every detail was thought through on this home, and the hosts were great to work with. There was a lot of space for our large family to celebrate our daughter’s college graduation. We even hosted a small get together with some of her friends and their parents, and it was a beautiful place to entertain and make memories.

    We had a lovely time in La Jolla staying at Casasol - it is a large well kept property with a beautiful yard, close to great beaches and the aquarium. I wish it was warmer so we could have enjoyed the pool more but other than that it worked well for 4 adults and 1 child and we were able to cook many meals in the well outfitted kitchen. Shona and her husband live next door when were very responsive to any concerns we had. I would highly recommend staying here.

    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!
