Esplanade Beach House with beautiful sea views

This magnificent and spacious 4 bedroom home, situated overlooking the beach, and once the residence of an old sea captain, has been delightfully upgraded. This spacious family friendly house has two dining/living areas providing added comfort when there is full occupancy. This property is the ultimate in beach side living where great sea views and wonderful sunsets can be enjoyed from the main dining/living area and from the main bedroom.

This property is ideally located halfway between the Semaphore and Largs Bay jetty’s and is located on Adelaide's beautiful suburban beach line not far from historic Port Adelaide.

The beach opposite the house is wide and sandy and perfect for swimming.

Local Attractions

The house is a short 10 minute walk to Semaphore, a vibrant seaside suburb of Adelaide, where there are many excellent cafes, restaurants, shops, galleries and the Odeon Cinema. The area hosts many summer festivals, including the International Kite Festival and the Annual Greek and Spanish Festivals.

The wonderful historic and still operational carousel is located near the Semaphore jetty and there are also a few child friendly playgrounds nearby. During the summer months the coastal steam train provides a special little trip along the sand dunes and a mini fun park is set up with rides and arcade games for all the family to enjoy.

The Semaphore & Largs Bay jetties are great for fishing or just observing the local fishermen cast their lines and crab nets. There is also a bike/walking track just across the road from the house that runs along the coastline.

The Port River Dolphin Trail and Port Adelaide Ships Graveyards, only a 5 minute drive away, are two of the many outdoor activities in the broader area as well the newly established Port River Dolphin Sanctuary. Covering more than 118 square kilometers, the sanctuary will protect a pod of up to 60 bottle-nosed dolphins living in the Port River and surrounding estuaries.

Port Adelaide is steeped in history. There is the Maritime Museum, Light House, New Land Gallery, National Railway Museum, National Military Vehicle Museum, South Australian Aviation Museum and the Australian Museum of Childhood. The Fisherman's Wharf markets are open every Sunday and Public Holidays and there are numerous antiques and collectable shops. There are also many riverboat cruises and fishing charters available from Port Adelaide.

Adelaides main domestic/international airport is also only a mere 20 minute drive away if you have to catch that early flight.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a fenced private yard.

This is a beautiful big, well appointed and laid out house. I've stayed here before and it's ideal for a group of friends or family. It's in a great location on the Esplanade and within easy walking distance to Semaphore Road where you'll find shops, cafes, pubs, chemist's, supermarkets. Whatever you need you'll find there. It also has a nice, private back yard with BBQ. Definitely recommend this comfortable, spacious house
