Had a great time at Casa Blanca and it had everything we needed, the pictures show actually what the house looks like. The beds were so comfortable, We spent two days in Disneyland and it was less then 1/2 hour away, The beach was great and uncrowded and long beach had so many things to offer we could have spent the whole time there.

Casa Blanca is close to the beach, shopping and plenty of sightseeing opportunities! Owner is very nice and accomodating. Plenty of spcae for everyone in our party and a very clean property. I would recommend this to my friends and definately stay here in the future.

The pictures and owner's description are very accurate. Everything was very clean, and the kitchen has appliances that would make cooking for a large group very easy (although we did not choose to cook on our vacation!). The location is very convenient to beach and to Belmont Shores where there are LOTS of great restaurants and shops. The condo does not have direct access to the beach, but it is a quick 5 minute walk around the corner. There is a narrow view of the ocean from the condo. We had just 4 people in our party, so there was plenty of space. The only caution I would give is to anyone who has difficulty climbing steps since there are 2 sets of concrete steps that lead to the condo.

Springbreak family stay

We rented the Cas Blanca for our family over spring break. We had a great experience. The owner was good to work with and was concerned about our needs. The ocean is right there at the end of the short street that it is on, but you need to take a 3-4 minute walk to get to an ocean access. It is spacious and well kept. The kitchen was bright and well equiped. They also had some bikes and beach toys that were nice to have access to. We would love to go back and stay again. I thing I might note is that the ocean waves are smaller at this location. This makes it safer for smaller children, but is not good if you like the larger waves. We drove about 10 miles to the south to catch some bigger waves for body surfing

Great location, fair price, very clean!

Stayed at "Casa Blanca" for 2 nights in February. Really enjoyed the location - so close to the beach! Wonderful accommodations - enough beds for everyone! There's like 50 bunk beds...OK maybe not 50 but closer to 5, still if you have a large group that doesn't want to share beds, this place is perfect. Everything was very clean and well-kept. Owners were very nice and accommodating. Truly one of the best VRBO places I've stayed at.

Casa Blanca was lovely and cheerful vacation retreat. We enjoyed ourselves throughly. The accommodations are spacious and Tom and Susan provide everything you need for a wonderful stay. All of the living spaces were ample and cozy as well as beautifully decorated. My family spent many great hours relaxing at Casa Blanca. The patio was wonderful and we cannot say enough about the excellent views of the Southern California Coast. Another great advantage to Casa Blanca is the convenient location. It is 1 block to the lifeguarded beach and 2 minute walk to shops and dining. Downtown Long Beach is a short walk as well which is an excellent way to see the city and it certainly made our vacation even more relaxing. We hope that we can visit again and enjoy Long Beach's small beach town charm Lorraine May

Casa Blanca at Long Beach, CA, was all that was promised and more. You walk in and immediately feel you're home--food in the refrigerator, coffee on the shelf and welcoming wine, lights and fans. Not only is Casa Blanca in a perfect location--2 minute walk to the beach with wonderful beach, rooftop and garden views; it is also set for comfort--cool breezes from the ocean and remote-controlled ceiling fans, plenty of seating and sleeping space for large groups, and great kitchen and bath amenities. We even had the use of beach chairs, large beach towels and bikes. We're so glad to have found Casa Blanca and will definitely look forward to staying there again when business and family once again bring us to sunny Southern California. Pat and Steve Schneider
