Fabulous Property

a superb 3 storey house with amazing sea views over Porthmeor Beach and the headland. Clean, tidy and well equipped with plenty of external space for entertaining with further sea views. Have stopped in 3 large houses around St Ives so far, and this is by far the best house. Highly recommended.

Holiday May 2025

We loved the property but sadly our stay was marred by the downstairs hot water system failing which meant no hot water from kitchen sink, shower and radiators for drying shower towels for 4 days. We had to call for someone to come to rectify the situation. This situation caused a bit of a problem

Fun time in St Ives

The star of the show for this house is the location and the size. We had three families together, totaling 7 adults and 3 kids (all 6 and under). While aspects of the house were challenging with the little ones, overall it was great with the downstairs rooms and various bedroom options. The kitchen was well equipped with dishes and cutlery, though could have used a few more small additions. One other challenge was the steepness of the stairs given the lack of handrails. Overall, it had an amazing view, very easy to get to the beach and into the town, and good parking. Definitely recommended!

Spacious house with amazing view 9

The house is very well equiped, two dishwashers! Lost of dishes and cutlery. Great for more than one family with domnstairs room with kitchen and big table and upstairs sitting room with lots of couches. If the sun is out you can sit on the terrace with lots of people and look out over the sea. The house has an amazing seaview and is located in a dead end street. This means it is relatively quiet in the busy summerweeks of st ives, walk down the road and your at the beach. A bit further and you'r right in the old towncentre.

Family holiday 2022

Excellent location, good size property, good facilities. However there were a few issues with cleanliness. These included, rubbish found under sofa in lounge on arrival, a rotten onion in one of the kitchen cupboards & sweet wrappers under one of the beds. Maybe you might want to consider putting a handrail on the stairs as several of our party found it difficult to go up & down them with nothing to hold on to except the spindles. An enjoyable holiday which with a bit more TLC would have been even better. The question was asked by several members of our party, why such a late check in & such a n early check out?
