"Casetta di Santi" (Italian for "little home of the saints") is a 1926 beach bungalow in lovely South Redondo Beach in Southern California. Walking distance to the beach, the Redondo Pier, and Redondo "King Harbor," Starbucks, Whole Foods market, and numerous excellent restaurants, Casetta di Santi allows you to enjoy the gift of living next to the Pacific Ocean. The Casetta creaks with the warm character of the original hardwood floors and is lovingly furnished in accordance with its cozy charm. The kitchen and two bathrooms have been remodeled to bring appliances and water pipes into the modern era. A separate dining area accommodates four people.
A romantic garden with fragrant plants, flowers and fruit trees, the spacious backyard provides several patios for an al fresco meal or drinking in a good book while listening to the trickle of the fountain. Guests are encouraged to bring in flowers from the garden that blooms in every season. "Casetta di Santi" gets its name from the statues of Saints Francis, Anthony and Mary, all of which were gifts to the owner over a 20 year period, and are nestled in the leafy grottoes of the garden. These saints have faithfully showered continuous blessings on all those who dwell in the Casetta for a generation, a decade, or even a few days.
Comments left by a few of our guests:
"Our stay here at Casetta di Santi has been splendid. We were completely relaxed and comfortable with the perfectly furnished home. The backyard is sheer joy." - guests from San Diego
"Casetta di Santi will stay in my memory forever. I went surfing every morning at daybreak (mid-winter), came home to this beautiful environment, lay in the backyard in the warming rays of the California sun. Thank you. The beds were very comfy - easy to get to sleep after a long day at Disneyland." -guests from New Zealand
"Thanks for all your attention to detail. Felt as if we were really at our home away from home. Weather was so pleasant (warm for us since it's much colder in Connecticut." - guests from Connecticut
"Twelve days that went too fast - wished we could stay another week. The house is beautiful, beds are wonderful. The beach in Redondo was the best. Friendly neighborhood. The children loved it here and want to come back." - guests from Sweden
