About this property
Stunning 5-Bedroom Historic Home in Southampton - steps to the beach!
The Captain's House is a spectacular and spacious holiday property built in 1865 by a bonafide Ship Captain. Offering the very best of both worlds: mere steps to white, sandy beach on the shores of majestic Lake Huron and nestled amongst restaurants, shops and art galleries. Decked out with 5 luxurious bedrooms as well as a loft area with a daybed - a great place to curl up with a good book or catch a nap. With a masterfully-appointed kitchen, a games room and a dedicated yoga room. Also included: wifi, Netflix and Amazon Prime. The back patio has a Napoleon grill and is furnished with Adirondack Chairs, sofas and a propane fireplace, all situated amid the glorious gardens.

Location was great, with just a short walk to the beach and all the amenities in Southampton. Spacious home that could accommodate our large group.
