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.

California classic

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.

Absolutely phenomenal

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.

Beautiful and close to everything you need

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

Full of history, a wonderful stay!

I won’t 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, it’s 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 can’t wait to come again

Spanish-style apartment in central Dana Point

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!

Pleasure/visit after business in San Diego

This was a great property. The neighborhood is a little noisy but somewhat to be expected in the lantern district of Dana point. The unit was very comfortable and, aside from a few inconveniences, was well worth the stay. I would certainly return and look forward to the opportunity.

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.

Wonderful getaway

This is a charming property, close to everything in Dana Point. The balconies and fireplace really take it to the next level. There are some wonderful plants in the yard, including a fragrant cabbage palm that smells like jasmine. The neighborhood can be a bit noisy at night, but I was prepared for that after reading other reviews. I would definitely love to stay here again. Thank you!

Mostly pleasant

Decor was pretty cool and it was staged nicely; however, not the cleanest upon arrival (dusty, hair in shower, etc). The hot water was virtually absent from the kitchen sink (low water pressure) and, while the outside amenities (balcony, etc) was nice, the incessant construction across the way didn't improve the atmosphere. Overall, a decent stay - if cleaner and without the construction.

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!

Great location

All in all, this house was a great find. The location is really convenient. We could easily walk to the farmer’s market, the harbor, to restaurants, or just explore Dana Point. The largest of the balconies is a delight to sit on and sip coffee in the early morning and enjoy the vegetation and the view. Parking was easy, even on street-sweeping days. The bed was comfy, and the shower was great. The whole set up was original, quirky, and fun. We would likely rent it again on a return trip. We did, however, have some reservations. Our first request for help from the manager was fulfilled immediately; our second was totally ignored; and for the third, we were given the obvious work-around but the problem (with the exterior lock) wasn’t resolved—and needs to be as we had trouble getting in one night — after which we locked only the door at the top of the stairs. The lighting in both the living space and the kitchen leaves something to be desired. There’s not enough light for two people to read, knit, or do anything else that requires decent lighting in the living space. One person can just manage for a little while with the moderate light behind the large chair. And if you’re cooking after dark and want to tell if something is done, it can be hard to see. Speaking of the kitchen, it is pretty well equipped for a rental, but lacked a few things that I could have used. If you’re planning to cook, check that you have what you need up front. Plenty of dishes and stuff. Do be careful if you use the oven not to take anything out of the drawer below it when the oven is hot without using the mitts. You can get warm (not hot) water at the kitchen sink only if you are running the dishwasher at the same time. A dish drain would be nice. These were relatively minor inconveniences compared to our general overall satisfaction, but most would be easy to remedy and just make it that much better.

Didn't meet expectations

The Good: Property was mostly as advertised--well-stocked kitchen, balconies, and ocean in the distance visible via binoculars and through the trees. We appreciated the close proximity to town and activities. The Bad: We weren’t fans of the dusty décor or spent candles supposedly offering “romantic” ambience. Extremely dim lighting that is ironic considering the blazing lights in the photos on the website. Two standing lights in the living room did not work, and the overhead light was terribly dim. Bedroom lights were equally dim or not functioning. There is no functioning exterior light at the door to the unit (at least not one we found), so thank goodness for a flashlight on the smartphone! If you go out at night, keep the light on in the stairwell so you don’t stumble up the stairs. Speaking of stairs, those decorative pots are a safety hazard, particularly when bringing luggage up and down the stairs. Cable TV and Internet weren’t working all weekend. John showed up to check on it, called the cable company, but they couldn’t do anything in a timely manner. It was an irritation that we handled. Most tenants would appreciate more than two washcloths per stay, and one roll of single-ply TP for four days was super stingy! They should stock toilet paper and tissue at the unit. They should also either replace all the used toiletries procured from their own hotel stays or dump them. The bed needs a king-sized comforter instead of a queen that doesn’t fit. They could use some nicer pillows. Several on the bed were flat and spent. The Ugly: No air-conditioning!!!! Despite the claim that adding AC takes away from the historic charm of the building, if they have heat, they can install AC. We noticed a space heater in the closet indicating some tenants must need it in the winter. The owners should be as thoughtful for tenants in the summer/fall and provide either a standing fan or install a ceiling fan in the bedroom. We stayed four nights, and two were utterly miserable. There were no ocean breezes offering any relief during those two nights. I don't think our expectations are too high, and for this price, we deserve a good night's sleep on a comfortable bed. Bottom line: We won’t be returning.
