Perfect little Casita!

This was our 2nd year in a row staying at Lars' place and we will absolutely stay again. Everything is so well thought out for our care and comfort. Great location, easy to walk to delicious coffee spots, plus it's less than 5 mins from our family we were there to visit. Thank you for another great stay!

Perfect Stay

We brought our two little fur babies to take them to the dog beach which was about 15 minutes away. The dogs had a private yard at the casita. Lars had so many amenities for our stay. Lars was always checking with us to see if we needed anything. Wonderful stay would book again.

Great support by owner

It is a small place, but well supplied, well organized, and in a nice neighborhood. Parking was easy. But the best thing was the service and support provided by the owner, whose house is on the same lot. He helped us at arrival and departure, and was never more than a quick text away.

Thanksgiving

Lars made a point of ensuring that our stay was perfect. His communication was prompt and thorough, the check in process was easy, and he left us baked cookies, morning danishes, fruit, eggs, and other treats to make our stay comfortable. He was an attentive and respectful host. I will stay at his place again.

Snug Little Getaway

How lovely for our pups to have a yard to run and stretch in that is enclosed and we don't have to worry about them. Casita Gundry is put together brilliantly to accommodate space. There isn't an inch that is wasted. It feels very similar to camping with the trailer that has everything and your dining room being the great outdoors. We will always have a soft spot for our little house in Cal Heights as it gave us shelter from the storm. We see it as sanctuary. The hosts couldn't be more charming. There are many cute restaurants around and it is very freeway friendly. I think you'll love this historical part of Long Beach.

Lovely little casita in Long Beach

We had a lovely stay while on a girls college reunion weekend. Lars is fantastic and includes so many fun extras like freshly baked cookies and Sparkling cider. We absolutely loved the private patio and spent hours out there catching up. Parking is also fantastic. Tons of street parking as well as two dedicated driveway spots. I wish every rental property could be like this!i

Wonderful stay

My wife, dog, and I enjoyed our stay. Lars was a wonderful host and has carefully and thoughtfully prepared the home to take care of anything we wanted or needed. Provided high quality recommendations of local restaurants and activities. We enjoyed getting some work done in the private backyard and letting our dog run around and nap in the grassy, fully fenced yard. Had a wonderful time and wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again the next time we’re in the area. Thanks to Lars for being such a wonderful host and sharing his home with us.

The property owner Lars & Bonnie go above and beyond to make your stay awesome and have so many great suggestions of places to go and do. We arrived a tad early and they accommodated us with a early check in, very sweet for them to do on the QT. They had left homemade chocolate M&M cookies PLUS doggie treats for our pups. Now, just let the renter beware (Lars had warned us) that the casita was pretty snug for 3 guests that all required a separate bed plus our two dogs. He was absolutely correct. However, we made the best of it and our hosts checked in with us after a couple days to see if we needed anything. They are definitely SUPER HOSTS!! I cannot say enough about how cute and charming, and squeaky clean it was. This little casita sits in the heart of a historic district, so it is lovely to just go on a walk to see the different bungalow's and how through the years the character of each house has developed. The claw footed tub in the bathroom is a real treat. I certainly would recommend this property to anyone. Thanks Lars & Bonnie !!

Cozy and Comfortable

We had a fantastic stay at Casita Gundry! Check in was so easy and we were exhausted after a late flight in from the east coast. Imagine our delight when we woke up the next morning to eggs and incredible pastries waiting for us in the fridge. It was such a blessing to take breakfast off our plate...or put it on rather. LOL Plus the home was just 3 mins from our family we were there to visit - we will absolutely be back!

Intimate and a Memory Maker

I’ve never had a host as responsive as Lars. Seriously, his responsiveness helped so much in making sure this stay would be as memorable as possible. Casita Gundry was intimate, cozy, and just know it is small, but even with my group pushing the limits of guest size (recommended three but maximum 5), we were able to make it work and enjoy the space entirely. Casita Gundry if anything, is an amazing memory maker, being able to turn a space as intimate as it is, into orbs of light you’ll remember forever. Thank you so much Lars, thank you for the sweet treats given, and for curating such a beautiful and clean space.

Perfectly cozy home with well-thought-through details!

Loved my stay at Casita Gundry! Every detail has been considered, and while the Casita is small, it has everything you could want. A/c worked perfectly. House was immaculately clean. Loved the contactless entry. Coffee pods were provided, and there were plenty of clean, nice dishes. Private back patio was shaded & quiet with citronella candles provided. Bathroom had all the amenities. It reminded me of boutique hotels in Tokyo, where they've mastered the art of offering superb hospitality when space is at a premium- you never feel lacking or like the space is 'tight.' And best of all, Lars left some yummy treats that I munched my way through. Can't recommend enough. Thank you so much for a great stay!

Lars redefines being a good host!

Lars and his accommodations were amazing! Loved the neighborhood, accessibility, and the charm of Casita Gundry, both inside and outside. His communication beforehand made checking in very smooth, and his preparation with information throughout the home was helpful as well. I absolutely loved the decor and comfort from the bedding to the claw foot tub! Highlight of my stay in Long Beach!
