About
A luxurious coastal retreat, The Captain’s House in marvellous Marazion is a rather special place to stay. Offering unparalleled panoramic views of St Michael’s Mount and Mount’s Bay, this beautifully presented large home sleeps ten across five bedrooms, and boasts direct access to the beach. So, what are you waiting for?
Combining contemporary elegance with a prime beachfront location, it doesn’t get much better than this for ocean lovers. Situated in the heart of charming Marazion, The Captain’s House celebrates its unique location and seamlessly blends luxury with the natural beauty of its surroundings. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful escape or a base to explore the area, a stay here is rather unforgettable.
Enter through the electric gated drive, The Captain’s House is a striking property, and you’ll be greeted by the sweet soundscape of waves lapping against the shore. Downstairs, you’re certainly not short of space. A house highlight has to be the lounge, which affords 180-degree sea views and direct access to the garden and terrace. There are two sumptuous sofas and a large smartTV so you can kick back with your favourite show.
The views continue in the kitchen diner. There’s two electric ovens, an induction hob on the island, microwave, integrated dishwasher, American-style fridge/freezer and coffee machine, to get your caffeine fix before a day of exploring. The large dining table comfortably seats 10, there’s a Bose Hi-Fi with Bluetooth, to set the soundtrack, plus direct access to the garden from the kitchen if you fancy eating under the Cornish sun. Adjacent to the kitchen is a convenient utility room complete with washing machine, tumble dryer and wash basin and a WC.
And if that wasn’t enough there’s even a cinema snug, equipped with a 65-inch TV, Sky Q box and 5.1 surround sound system, plus plenty of lounging space on the plush bean bags and large corner sofa.
Upstairs you’ll find five immaculately presented bedrooms to choose from. The master bedroom is sublime. Featuring a lavish superking bed, an elegant sitting area, and, of course, panoramic sea views thanks to the dual aspect corner windows. It has its own en-suite bathroom with twin basins, and a large walk-in shower.
There’s a second ensuite bedroom with walk-in shower, king-size bed and stunning sea views and fitting porthole mirrors. The three further bedrooms are two twin rooms and one children’s bedroom with bunk beds. There’s also a modern family bathroom complete with bath with shower over and separate WC.
Outside there’s a pretty walled garden with glass frontage and sun terrace situated behind the seawall, affording one of Cornwall’s most stunning views. The sun terrace comes complete with large outdoor dining set, while the Weber gas BBQ has you sorted for an alfresco lunch. There’s also an undercover table tennis area for when you fancy some friendly competition, and storing all your beach paraphernalia. Private parking is available for up to three vehicles – a rarity in this desirable location.
