Casita Gundry- Boutique Hideaway, Quaint Historic Charm

Property and owners were lovely, and just as advertised. Safe, quiet neighborhood within walking distance of delicious coffee shops and restaurants, a park, and all the amenities anyone might need. It was like a home away from home for our family.

Casita Gundry is the absolute best home away from home and one of my favorite staycation spots in Southern California. Lars offers so many thoughtful touches to enhance each stay, from local pastries, eggs, and homemade cookies awaiting me at check-in to a spacious bathtub caddy with room for a book and a (provided) scented candle to helpful recommendations of local restaurants and hangouts. The space itself is super cozy, and I love having the private outdoor patio to enjoy. Casita Gundry reminds me of hotel rooms in Japan, where everything has its spot and anything you could need has been considered, whether that's a citronella candle for the outdoor table or creamer for the provided coffee or extra little fold out tables tucked away by the front door. I'll always return whenever I get the chance, don't hesitate to book if you're able!

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 !!

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.

We were impressed with the overall cleanliness, comfort, convenience and pet friendliness of our accommodations. We hope to return for another stay in the near future.
