Summary: 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.

Summary: 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!

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.
