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.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
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!

Great place to stay. It's only steps from restaurants and all that the area has to offer. My brother lives in Bird Rock, so I'm sure we'll want to rent it again in the future.
