Beautiful clean home with easy access to the beach and restaurants. The house was very comfortable and was a five star experience. I’m definitely going to stay here in the future!
Beautiful clean home with easy access to the beach and restaurants. I was a last minute renter due to some complications with another house I had rented and our host Jose, went out of his way to accommodate us and gave us some great restaurants recommendations. Super nice guy and very responsive. The house was very comfortable and was a five star experience. I’m definitely going to stay here in the future! Thanks Jose for everything!

Our homes are part of our company "CornejoRentals" which we self-manage with our teams to directly to provide a high level of customer experience during your stay.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love when we saw The Sea Captain's House...We bought this beach house because we loved the views from all the rooms, specially the top decks. We love spending time as a family together by the water and we are excited to share this home with you.
It’s the perfect place to relax, unwind and enjoy each other’s company. The sunsets are beautiful, the waves are calming and you can watch your kids play in the sand for hours on end. Plus, it’s just a short 78 steps away and nothing to worry about with the little ones, as there are no roads to cross, the path to the beach is right outside our door.
What makes this property unique
The Sea Captain's House was designed with you and your family in mind. We have thought of everything you might need, and not want to pack to bring to the beach. We have 6 brand new beach cruisers (bikes), body boards, beach towels, umbrellas, beach wagon, beach toys, 2 coolers...all you need to bring is sun block!
This coastal home was designed by Jennifer Overton, a licensed architect and designer, with a focus on light, airflow, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. The architecture reflects a modern coastal aesthetic, with intentional design choices that enhance both comfort and oceanfront living
One of our unique benefits is our guest service, attention to detail and fully supported set up at the house so you don't feel like you need anything when you are on vacation. Leave all that to us and you just worry about making sure everyone is smiling!
Bring your family and friends to enjoy this beach house. There are endless possibilities when it comes to what kind of vacation experience our home can provide for your group!
