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. The house is also a short 5 minute walk to Semaphore, a vibrant seaside suburb of Adelaide, where there are many excellent cafes, restaurants, shops, galleries and the Odeon Cinema.

Local Attractions

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 area hosts many summer festivals, including the International Kite Festival and the Annual Greek and Spanish Festivals.

There is a mini fun park which boasts a waterslide, mini golf, a wonderful historic carousel, and the famous Ferris wheel of Elvis Presley fame. During summer the coastal steam train is operational which is a special little trip along the sand dunes.

The beach is wide and sandy and perfect for swimming and the Semaphore & Largs Bay jetties are a refreshing walk away and great for 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 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.

Adelaides main domestic/international airport is also only a mere 20 minute drive away if you have to catch that early flight.

Lovely property at an awesome location
What a gem. Lovely classic house with lots of character and space. We stayed here as a group of 2 adults and 4 kids and had a lovely time. So much to do within walking distance (beach, fun fair, train rides) or within a short drive. Highly recommend.

Great house, great location, great views
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The house is lovely and all ammenities were clean and working. Less than a 2 minute walk to the beach and a 10 minute walk to the Main Street. The view from the house is a stunning addition, watching the sunset from the dining table made our stay. Lovely to find a pet friendly holiday!

Great house, perfect location.
What an amazing experience we had in Adelaide over the Easter weekend. The house was a beautiful mix of new and old with so much space for everyone to relax and unwind in their favorite place. The sunsets were absolutely breathtaking from the formal loungeroom. As this is a heritage home, the floorboards are creaky and the house has a lot of echoes which can make it hard to get young ones to sleep but the character of the home makes this all worthwhile. Would deffinately love to stay again.
