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, Casa de las Olas and Casa de la Sirena, in the same location in case you have more in your group. Contact us for more details!

Contact the Bluewater Vacation Homes team for help finding the perfect home for your group or for assistance planning your vacation to San Diego. Once you arrive, our guest services team is available 24/7 to ensure you have an exceptional experience.

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!
