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. 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.

Wow factor house
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.

Chose Well
Our family has done a lot of travel and this property was the best, just the size makes it perfect for sharing. The owners have considered every need, beautiful house, best location with access to shops, restaurants, pub, beach. Also to be trusted with food condiments, spices, oil and essentials is so grown up... thankyou. And the cleaning products, so of course we cooked, cleaned, chilled out and really enjoyed this place. I even met the neighbour ! Thankyou Semaphore home owners.

Highly recommended
This property was worth every cent. Great location and everything we needed was at our finger tips.Only a few items we would change - Queen beds need to be at least King beds and don’t have any bed ends (door) . They were too short for my husband. On the front verandah some more comfy chairs and a little table would be great.Also some milk in the fridge on arrival would have been great to make a coffee. Other than that we loved our stay.

Beautiful house in a beautiful location
A lovely, very large house in an underrated location. Beds very comfortable, well equipped kitchen, and a dining table with sunset view. Spotless, warm (considering a cold spell and high ceilings - the house is centrally heated). We had an amazing stay. Thank you.
