  • LOVE IT

    January 19, 2022
    I’m not one to write reviews good or bad but I don’t think Villa Del Sol gets enough recognition. Property was taken over by a new property management who are nothing but kind and helpful. I love my unit and quiet. Only downside is street parking but welcome to San Diego. Lease here!!

  • Villa Del Sol is like a resort!

    August 14, 2015
    This apartment is amazing, and since I transitioned over to this one, it has almost immediately proven wonderful! Rooms are large, even for single bedroom apartments. A pool, gym, sauna, and yoga room are all provided. It looks more like a resort than an apartment complex, and not to mention the swift actions by on site staff whenever there's something amiss, like circuits that may be shorted or if the water doesn't work. They're on the case within the hour to fix it. I'd recommend Villa Del ...
    Sol to anyone looking for quality and pleasant surroundings!
