House to rent at 8 Pentrich Road, St James
Live seaside minutes from False Bay and Kalk Bay's harbour, with sunlit decks and sea-view bedrooms. Lively garden with hot tub and multiple outdoor dining zones. Three bedrooms, 3.5 baths.
Three minutes from the beach, this fully furnished family home sits where False Bay does its best work.
All three bedrooms are upstairs, all with sea views, and one opens straight onto a deck with deckchairs for the long light of the late afternoon. The main bedroom is en-suite with a shower. The other two share a full bathroom with a shower and tub, and one of those has its own private toilet and basin.
Also upstairs is an office with sweeping views that are, frankly, hard to look away from when you are meant to be working. A second office downstairs overlooks the garden and opens onto the downstairs porch.
Downstairs opens up. A living room with bay windows and a fireplace for the cooler evenings, an open-plan kitchen and dining room with a 12-seater table that asks to be filled. Step out the back to an outdoor dining area with couches, set in a lively garden with a hot tub, alive with sunbirds and visiting squirrels. On the other side of the house, the living room opens onto a braai area with a second six-seater table, so there is room to gather wherever the day takes you. Three and a half bathrooms in all, and fibre is connected throughout.
You are down the road from Kalk Bay, with its harbour, its bookshops, its restaurants and its particular brand of seaside vibe, and a short walk from the St James tidal pool. On-street parking.
The home comes serviced: a housekeeper once a week and a gardener every second week, so the place and the garden stay in good order throughout your stay. A washing machine and dryer are provided in a separate room outside, which also contains a staff toilet and coffee & tea facilities.
Available from September on a six-month minimum lease. Pets welcome. Two months' deposit required. Rental includes all utilities except electricity, which is prepaid.
