Dana Point Spanish Revival STR14-0220

the property is well maintained, beautiful view, quiet and good parking. I am disabled and there were 20 steep stairs that were very difficult to negotiate, both up and down. I almost fell 3 times. Taking the luggage up and down was an intense chore.

This property has a lot of character and is in a good location. It's a nicely decorated, roomy one-bedroom upstairs apartment. Our only caution would be for older or sight compromised renters--the outside stairs, which could use better lighting, make a sharp turn halfway up without a landing that might be troublesome for some renters. But overall, this was a lovely rental.

This is a special property - thoughtfully put together and offered as a unique Dana Point apartment. Everything was very well equipped and unique. Not even complaints, but of helpful note to future renters, the steps to access are a bit cumbersome so be very careful. Also, the decor is very old world and beautiful, but it is very very dark at night. I think a bright reading light or two would be a great addition. That said, though, I would highly recommend this rental!

It was rich with history and well preserved

Absolutely beautiful place inside and out, great kitchen and amenities for cooking. It’s a very romantic setting and looks true to photos, perhaps even better. Would definitely recommend.

My stay at the Violet Lantern Spanish revival property was fantastic! The view, ambience, charm, quiet and prime location was outstanding! My host John was wonderful, professional and quick to respond to any question. I have recommended this amazingly charming home to friends in SC. Thanks again-I can’t wait to return to Dana Point.

What a wonderful stay we had in Dana Pt. and a big part of that was our VRBO. It was the first time we've ever used VRBO and it was a positive experience. The pictures and description of the property are 100% accurate and the host was very accommodating and answered all our questions (though we didn't have many) and the arrival/departure process was seamless. It really felt like our home away from home for three days. The place was clean, organized and had everything we needed in the kitchen/bedroom/living room/bathroom. Our favorite spot on the property had to be the balcony. Nothing better than sipping on a cup coffee out on the lanai as we planned our day. Another thing that was striking was how quiet and charming the neighborhood was as well as how close to grocery store, restaurants/bars and the Lantern District. All within walking distance and only a 5-minute car ride to Strands Beach Parking. Such a pleasant stay that we both agreed we'd be back and when we do, we will likely stay here again.

This was a darling and comfy cottage! The decor & architecture inside and out was classic nostalgic Southern California with a taste of California's historic connections to Mexico. We loved the decor and all the little nooks! The location was very convenient - we were able to easily get to all of our venues in San Clemente, Laguna and Dana Point. Our only criticisms were the lack of parking in the evening and we thought a box of kleenex would be nice. We were also a bit disappointed that the front balcony fountain was not in working order. Other than those things, the property had everything we needed and we would definitely stay again.

Great location in a quiet residential area. The space was very clean. The bed was extremely comfortable. It was the perfect spot for a couple’s getaway in OC. Would definitely recommend

This house is so unique! Very comfortable, loved spending time on the balconies. Lots of stairs, but well worth the views. Everything is walkable from this place with lots of restaurants and activities nearby. Just a note that they do not provide any reserved parking - you are in your own with whatever street parking is available, which can be challenging on busy weekends.

Went on a mini get away with my girlfriend.And it was the most relaxing thing i've ever felt in quite some time

Just like the photos. Wonderful place. I enjoyed the history of the house from the blue binder. As a note, within walking distance to local farmer's market!

While the inside of this property was a complete delight, the outside structure was in need of some renovation. That didn’t bother me, but I understood that there would be a renovation soon. Hopefully , that will go quickly so that this magical property can be enjoyed again very soon.

Really enjoyed this property. More interesting than basic furniture with Spanish influence in a quiet neighborhood with ocean views and breezes. Property exceeded our expectations and was such a wonderful place to stay. Two items to be aware of 1) must be comfortable with stairs 2) street parking - wasn’t a problem except needed to be aware of street sweeping schedule Easy check in and check out. Was very pleased with this historic property that was built by the same person who built the Hollywood sign!

This property is very unique, beautiful grounds, perfect location, lovely covered porch and antiques to enjoy. But for a 60+ couple is was too difficult to manuver the 2 flights of steep stairs for 11 days, hoping for on the street parking nearby each day especially on street cleaning days, the lighting is extremely poor throughout the unit, had an old museum smell with no window screens to open up for a breeze and was expecting a few more updates. The manager accommodated us by providing more towels. Could be a nice experience for a younger couple for just a few days!

This is an adorable historic property that is just stunningly perfect. Clean, full to the brim of character, with all sorts of thoughtful, cute touches. The neighborhood is quiet and you feel like you're in another world. I cannot say enough great things about this place. If you're looking for something different, something not another boring hotel room, and if you love history and character and thoughtful places, this is for you. Everything, top to bottom, was perfect. Exceeded my expectations 1000%. Thank you for such an awesome experience.

Old vintage house, has all the feels we like. Thx! Peter
