Comfortable, spacious, quiet and relaxing in close proximity to downtown with great walk score.

Host was a great communicator from the start and made everything very easy, the house was perfect for 4 adults to have their own room and extra space to top it off. 10 out of 10. This is one of my favorites of many and I didn’t want to leave!

Perfect for many age groups

We all loved this house. There were two grandsons in their 20s, two parents in their 50s and me (76). We had so much room--if anyone wanted to be by themselves, it was easy to do.My SIL spent a lot of his time on the back patio by one of the fireplaces. We all loved the outdoor space!Unlike many visitors, we ate most of our meals in the house. My daughter made bread THREE times--we will all be dieting soon. My point is, it's a very well equipped kitchen.All in all a perfect stay for us. We had two cars and there is plenty of space plus the garage.I'm sure we will spend time there again.

Dana Point Gem

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lantern home. Upon arriving we were immediately impressed with the warmth and coziness of the home. It is beautifully decorated and conveniently stocked with all of the amenities that made it feel like home. All of the beds and couches are comfortable and best of all the home is very clean. The outdoor sitting areas are wonderfully situated and make it perfect for enjoying the weather at anytime of the day. Check in & out was a breeze. Much appreciated. The location is within walking distance to the local restaurants and boutique shopping. We wandered one block down the street and enjoyed the weekend farmers market. Thank you to Shannon for hosting and checking in with us. We highly recommend the Lantern home; it’s deserving of vacationers that care about convenience and treating it as if it was your own home.

Beautiful home in a great location

House is beautifully renovated. Clean and comfortable. Great entertaining space inside and out. Great location. Bedroom space provides plenty of privacy but common areas are very attractive and easily accommodates a larger group. Owner is easy to work with and very helpful. I would rent this property again.
