About this property
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.

I loved how spacious and clean everything was. The host was willing to reach out and help if there were any uncertainties and a great spot to stay if you want to be close to the beach. What stood out was the beautiful ocean views from the windows!
The host was very welcoming and accommodating. The house was very nice, very roomy and beautifully decorated. Old charm with modern amenities. Equipped with everything you need for your stay.
Lovely place to spend a few days with family and friends. Position was brilliant, close to everything we needed and of course beach was across the road. Even just sitting around and watching the view was bang on. House accommodated our whole group. Ticked all the boxes
Such a beautiful house It had so much character Loved being able to see the water Close to restaurants and groceries Carolyn was so helpful and very quick with getting back to me about changes regarding date changes. After massive days at a major event it was so lovely coming back to the amazing beach house . Would love to stay again
Host was great with information a few days beforehand. House was decorated for Christmas which was lovely. Fabulous house! Fantastic views! Some beds were too short for my teenager or too hard. I sleep got so i would have appreciated a top sheet in addition to the songs. We will look to stay here again.
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
This is a beautiful old house that has been made very comfortable. The location opposite the beach and near the main shopping area is great. The best thing is my dogs were able to join me
Ideal position, perfect for whole family with beach on the doorstep. Added bonus it's being pet friendly. Third time we have stayed and will definitely return.
Beautiful home with lots of room. Fantastic views of the sea and sunsets, with lovely walks along the beach. Easy access to great hotels and cafes for a lovely meal.
Thank you to owner Carolyn for making it such an easy and comfortable stay.
Gorgeous huge property with multiple areas to relax in. A spectacular view overlooking the ocean.
Pet friendly and kid friendly.
Everything we needed for a relaxing break.
The property is stunning, photos don’t do it justice. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Very clean and comfortable. We will book again on our return to Adelaide.
Everything was perfect for a family group coming to Adelaide for a wedding. The house was spacious, extremely well equipped and central to everything. We had a bit of a problem with the lock box but other than that highly recommend.
This was about the most perfect stay anyone could wish for. A beautiful quaint town right on the beach with the most breathtaking views, paired with the convenience of all shops and local right within a beautiful 5 min walk. We didn’t want to leave. Thank you for this beautiful place to visit and stay
