Great location in a quiet residential area. The space was very clean. The bed was extremely comfortable. It was the perfect spot for a coupleâs 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.
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 didnât 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.
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.
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 - wasnât 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.
This 1920's upstairs apartment is spacious with nice outdoor porches having a sea view. Gas fireplace is great.
The neighborhood is close to the harbor (5 min drive) and a great base to explore the good restaurant options in Dana Point Lantern district.
I wonât spoil the history of the property but it was very cool! The king size bed was so comfortable I want to buy one for my home. Modern kitchen with a brew coffee maker. If you arrive at night, itâs a little dark in the lantern district, use your phone flashlight. Host was very responsive to questions. Walking distance to Saturday market, harbor, and lots of restaurants. This is our second stay on Violet Lantern and canât wait to come again
This apartment is in a historic house and is so cool - the architecture and decor work so well together. Four balconies, including one with ocean views that is large enough for loungers and a fountain. Easy walking distance to PCH, and nice walking distance to the Strand and the harbor. Loved it all!
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.
What a truly unique stay!! We loved the history of the home, the location, the historic but absolutely relevant energy of the home. We will definitely be back!!
Had a wonderful stay here and loved the house and location. Pretty convenient to everywhere we wanted to go. Great views from our balcony, grill on back balcony, comfortable bed and plenty stocked with kitchen cookware and utensils. Great features and accents throughout were true to history of the home
Excellent location. Fantastic ambiance. We were in town to celebrate our anniversary and attend a wedding in San Juan Capistrano. Couldn't have picked a better place. We loved everything about it.
A time capsule...I love history...and this place truly took me back in time..
I enjoyed it...parking can be challenging and the stairs a bit edgy..so just be very careful with that .. lovely place indeed.
We could not have stayed at a better place then this incredible home. This was the perfect place to celebrate our 10th wedding Anniversary. I am quite sure that we will stay here again.
