About the Captain's House
Our Story and a bit about each Deck
We started Captain's House with the mission of providing the best vacation rental experience for our guests. The Captain's House was built in the very early 1900's but has been revived and updated to ensure a comfortable and positive experience expected of our guests. (Don't worry, we kept some of the house original) Located in the Village of Marblehead, Ohio you'll be close to nearly everything! The Ferry to Kelly's Island is within walking distance along with a variety of shops and restaurants, Cedar Point is close by, Lake Erie of course, and a visit to Lakeside is just down the road! You'll find many things to do in and around Marblehead and the islands. The Captain's House is a Great location to enjoy All of them!
This house is 2 stories. 2 different living spaces-The Main Deck and the Upper Deck. Each provide all that is needed for a comfortable stay.
The Upper Deck (take the stairs under the blue canopy to the 2nd floor private entrance) is equipped to sleep up to 7 guests. Comprised of 2 full bathrooms (walk-in showers), 2 bedrooms (1 King bed, 1 Queen bed), full size inflatable mattress, 1 single fold up cushioned cot, and pull-out love seat (more comfortable for shorter adult or toddler) and pack-n-play available upon request. Take a look below at the photos and see for yourself if this is a place you could see yourself reserving for that much needed getaway or planned vacation!
The Main Deck (1st floor) can accommodate 6-7 guests. It has 3 bedrooms (1 twin bed, 1 Queen bed, 1 King bed) 1 queen pull out sofa, and fold away cushioned cot) 1 Full bathroom with claw foot tub/shower, and pack-n-play available upon request. After looking at the Upper Deck, check out the Main Deck below. Both have their own unique characteristics and amenities that could fit your needs! Details on each Deck (along with many photos) are on the Airbnb listings where reservations can be made.
Attention to detail was important for us to make this property as pleasant, comfortable, clean, and enjoyable as possible. After the sneak peek below at what The Captain's House has to offer, book your stay on Airbnb! (the link above will take you there) We look forward to having you as our guests (again and again!)
PLEASE REMEMBER, THE UPPER DECK IS ON THE 2ND FLOOR-SEPARATE ENTRANCE UNDER THE BLUE CANOPY UP THE STAIRS (sleeps 6 w/2 bathrooms). THE MAIN DECK IS ON THE 1ST FLOOR (sleeps 6-7 w/1 bathroom). If the Whole House is needed, each floor will need to be reserved separately.
Upper Deck Master Bedroom with King Bed and fireplace
Everything in this beautiful room is new from the floor to the ceiling. The new memory foam King size bed is just what you'll need after a day at the lake, Cedar Point, or taking in the sights on one of the nearby islands! 100% cotton sheets (bedding colors vary and are changed with each reservation), comfortable pillow choices, Tv with Roku, USB/outlets built into each night stand, electric fireplace (ambiance and/or heat options ) and ac/heat set to average comfortable temperature - oh yes, the Master Bathroom is attached as well!

Just outside the kitchen is the very comfortable living room. Two over-sized love-seats, marble coffee table, and bistro-styled dining table with stools make this space enjoyable and relaxing. Enjoy watching TV on the 60" tv equipped with Roku. Board games are offered as well as unique reading materials.

Upper Deck Quaint Kitchen stocked with everything you'll need
As you enter the Upper Deck, the kitchen will greet you with it's 2 tone cabinetry, retro range hood, coffee corner, and more! Nothing is missing (except a dishwasher) that you'll even miss. From garbage disposal to economy sized fridge and freezer with plenty of room, to an electric skillet, microwave, toaster, blender, and every cooking pan and pot under the sun! Stoneware dishes, spices, oils, and potholder/towels round out this fully stocked adorable kitchen. We even supply coffee, k-cup maker and sweeteners for the pick-me-up you might need!
Upper Deck Master Bathroom with Custom Tiled Shower
Getting the master bedroom is a treat with this adjoining beautiful master bathroom. Original wood cabinets have been refinished with a rustic driftwood style color. The door still has the original knob with lock! Plenty of space here and a new custom tiled shower tops off this master bathroom!
Just a little something for our guests
We know not everyone remembers to bring everything with them on a vacation. Just in case, we've helped out with at least the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash! (sulfate and paraben free, vegan) It's just a little something we enjoy having for our guests! Enjoy! (we also have a hair dryer, fresh towels wrapped to let you know they've been laundered, extra toilet paper, cleaning supplies, and soaps in each of the 2 bathrooms in the Upper Deck)
And now.... Here's the main deck of the captain's house!!
Completely renovated (like the Upper Deck) 3 bedrooms with 1 full bathroom (claw foot tub with hand-held shower mount) in addition to 1 master bedroom vanity (shown in photo) we have a full open-space kitchen with all you will need (seriously!) including coffee, creamers, sweeteners, coffee maker (k-cups), appliances galore! outdoor space with back porch and front wraparound porch both with seating, grill to share with Upper Deck guests, large living room with sliding barn doors, electric fireplace, pull out queen sofa bed, work space, tv's in every room with Roku, ceiling fans/lights all with remote control, washer and dryer...
At Captain's House, we believe that everyone deserves a memorable vacation. Our vision is to provide exceptional vacation rental experiences that exceed our guests' expectations.
Large Bathroom with Claw Foot tub/shower
Yes, it's a little different... a claw-foot tub/shower. How often do you get to just soak in one of these? The side adjustable table is a nice feature to hold a glass of wine, soaps, cell phone, etc. We installed a mount for the hand-held sprayer so showering is just as a shower would be in a standard tub. Wrapped bath towels give piece of mind (plus look really nice!) that our guests are getting fresh towels every visit! Complimentary shampoo, conditioner, and body wash along with a designated makeup remover cloth are just a little something extra. (vegan, sulfate and phosphate-free with neutral scent)
Living Room and beyond
The entire house has had new flooring installed and makes moving room to room seamless-let's begin in the living room. When you walk in the front door you enter the living room Hang your coats up on the boat cleats, then settle in. Large Tv, 2 large sofas-sit back and relax! Close the sliding barn doors for privacy or to block light or to have a quiet place to work while sitting at the bistro table in the window nook. Off the living room are glass French doors leading into the master bedroom. Did we mention there's an electric fireplace? Heat, flames, or both! The Queen bedroom is off the living room as well. Down the hallway you will find the twin bedroom (very nautical decor) and on to the kitchen!
