The Lantern House, Walk to Harbor, Great Outdoors

The epitome of what the perfect beach house should be, this home has been touched and cared for in every room. Recently renovated, we wanted it to be both modern and cozy and maintain the history of the house.

Our home is close to the beach, the marina, shopping, cafes, restaurants all in walking distance. You’ll love our home because of the location, the neighborhood, the outdoors space. Our home is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, and families.

We love to sit outside in the yard at night with a fire going in the fire pit, drinking a glass of wine (or 2!) and looking up at the stars. It`s a wonderful house and enjoyable to stay because of the open concept and wrap around deck. We love that we can walk to the Harbor and to restaurants and cafes along the PCH. We also walk our dog down to Doheny State Beach.

This home sleeps 4 adults.

Dana Point is a resort-residential community (population about 20,000) along the Pacific coast in South Orange County in Southern California. It is known for its extensive artist community, seaside village atmosphere, beautiful beaches, and luxury resort hotels. Fans of the Beach Boys will recall the mention of the city in the song `Surfin` Safari`. In warm sunny weather, Dana Point can have an overwhelming Mediterranean-island ambiance. Dana Point attracts a few million visitors a year.

We do have some public transit in the area but from Dana Point you can take a taxi ride of a few miles (or I *think* Orange County Transit Authority (OCTA) bus 1) to one of the the Amtrak stations in San Clemente and from there you can catch the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner train either south to San Diego or north to Anaheim (Disney) and to Los Angeles.

I believe OCTA bus 1 also runs to Newport beach from Dana Point. But these aren`t small areas so may involve some walking to/from the bus stops to get to where you want to go and your hotel etc.

Otherwise having your own vehicle makes the most sense.

DISTANCES:
to dana point harbor: 1 mile
to Doheny State Beach: 1.5 mile
