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!

Cute Casita
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 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!

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.

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

Really cute cottage in walkable neighborhood.
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!
