DESCRIPTION
La Jolla, known as the Jewel of San Diego, is a must-see for anyone visiting Southern California, and if you want to stay in the middle of it all, this is the perfect vacation rental. Casa del Sol is one of 4 historic Beach Cottages built in the 1930s and lined up along a stairway leading from Prospect Street to La Jolla Cove known as Ocean Lane. As La Jolla grew and developed around them, the cottages have retained the original charm and appeal that have hosted countless visitors over decades of fun and relaxation.

Casa del Sol has been nicely updated to feature all the modern–day comforts of home. Comfy furnishings, two flat-screen cable TVs, a dedicated dining area, a fully–equipped kitchen, air conditioning, and a gas fireplace.

Additional amenities include complimentary Wi-Fi, air conditioning, in-home laundry, ceiling fans, BBQ, a starter kit of soaps, paper goods, trash bags, and one towel set and beach towel per occupant.

We have other adjacent cottages, B5118 and B5415, in the same location in case you have more in your group. Contact us for more details!

Cute, Clean and Great Location

This cottage is nicely decorated and very clean. We decided beforehand not to rent a car and we made the right decision, as the location can’t be beat! You are within walking distance to the beach, grocery store, restaurants and shops. We did go out of the La Jolla area one time for a whale watching cruise and we were easily able to book an Uber for that, and the airport after our stay. The small negatives (but it wouldn’t stop us from re-booking) were that the sofa is very uncomfortable and the shower is tight. Also, if you have luggage, be sure to enter from Prospect St. and not Coast Blvd., as you will have several flights of steps to haul your luggage up (we found out the hard way). Overall, would recommend!

OVERRATED!!

First, the good: Without a doubt the property is in a great location. And the property was quite clean upon arrival. The bad: 1)The arrival experience, after a long travel day, was extremely frustrating...and was the clear fault of the property management company. The six digit code for the front door that I was given was very clear and easy to read on my iphone...and was even underlined. After trying numerous times to unlock the door with the underlined code I could not. After calling after-hours number for the unit I was told that after putting 6 digit code I then needed to push a button with a check mark on it to open the door (which did then work). However, the message from the management company containing the 6 digit underlined code showed a barely legible "check mark" after the code that I needed to use to open the door. They should have either: a) made the check mark part of the underlined buttons that needed to be pushed and also made it equally legible to the other code numbers, or b) simply stated that after entering the 6 digit code that the check-mark button needed to be pushed to complete the opening process. 2) The property is listed on VRBO as containing a fireplace. That was actually an important feature to us when we selected the property. After considerable aggravation in attempting to turn the fireplace on by following the instructions in the 3-ring binder for the property I was forced to call the Bluewater Vacation Homes to get assistance. They were unab

The home was fantastic! Everything was extra clean and the home was well stocked. It was centrally located in La Jolla and it was easy to walk to restaurants and the beach. Parking We got a ticket for “wheels not cramping curve” when we parked on a nearby hill. Google this and be prepared to park properly to avoid a ticket. The garage included is nice, but signs posted at the garage say car has to be out by 11. The only improvement I’d give to the room is to include a full length mirror somewhere in the studio!
