The Space:
Blackpool Boathouse is arranged around a private central courtyard pool, with the main living areas opening directly to the poolside deck.
The open-plan living and dining area connects easily with the kitchen and outdoor entertaining spaces, creating a practical layout for groups spending time together. The main house has central air conditioning with heating for year-round comfort, along with a wood fire for cooler stays.
The kitchen is professionally equipped for cooking at home, with the indoor dining area positioned close to the pool and outdoor spaces.
Outside, the courtyard includes the private pool, sun loungers, outdoor dining table and BBQ, giving guests plenty of space for meals and relaxing outdoors.
Two bedrooms are located in the main house, each with access to its own full bathroom. The third bedroom is located in a separate self-contained studio with its own bathroom, providing additional privacy for couples, older teens or guests wanting their own space.
