This was a very cute small home. Lars was so hospitable leaving us with cookies and some delicious baked goods from a local bakery. Home was stocked with everything needed and would definitely stay again on any future trips.
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!
Nice nice little place. We had a great stay. I would recommend. Lars was an excellent host.
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.
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
We had a great experience staying here with our 2-year old. The host is absolutely amazing
Very good host,place was well stocked he went over and beyond to make sure anything you need was there. Nice and cozy with a lot of restaurants close. Dog friendly which is a big plus , since our pets always travel with us. Thanks again
We had a great experience staying here with our two dogs. The host is fantastic. The private outdoor courtyards are adorable and the host provided coffee for the morning! Would definitely stay here again.
I would recommend this cottage. Definitely need car to get around and to Beach, but that’s pretty much all of California. Host is exceptional!
The casita was a perfect home base for a short weekend stay in Long Beach visiting family. It's in a wonderful location in the Cal Heights neighborhood, great for walks and minutes away from Steelhead Coffee and the Blackbird cafe. The casita was very clean and had everything we needed. (Favorite part was the tranquil, private back patio) Lars was an amazing host, super easy to communicate with, immediately responding to any questions and offering tips and suggestions on the neighborhood. Highly recommended! Also don't miss the fresh baked cookies he leaves in the casita—delicious.
