Property code: OC-CW46

This contemporary apartment overlooks the award-winning golden sands of Porthminster Beach, making it the perfect coastal retreat for couples or families. Relax and dip your toes in the azure blue waters or for the more adventurous why not sample the local water sports for a true Cornish seaside experience? With beautiful views of Godrevy Lighthouse, this beach was the inspiration for Virginia Woolf’s novel ‘To The Lighthouse’ and boasts the mildest climate in the UK. Sample delicious freshly-caught seafood in the famous cafe located right on the sand or take a short stroll (less than 0.5 miles) and explore the many independent shops, art galleries, cafes, restaurants and bars that St Ives has to offer.

Decorated with a neutral palette, the decor of this comfortable property echoes its seaside surroundings with coastal-inspired soft furnishings and art on the walls. The spacious open-plan lounge/diner/kitchen area is ideal for socialising. The lounge offers spectacular views of the sea from each of the two leather seats, one of which can be used as a sofa bed. The perfect spot to relax in front of the TV, enjoying the stylish electric fire. The double bedroom shares the same soothing tones and there’s plenty of storage space for your belongings. There’s also a TV in this room for cosy movie nights curled up in bed. A bathroom with a shower over the bath completes the layout of this lovely holiday retreat.

Lovely apartment with amazing view over Porthminster beach & the sea. Comfortable lounge area with 2 sofas & a large TV. Nice bedroom with plenty of storage. Kitchen area has all you need although we didn't need to use the oven as we tended to eat out. Bathroom is fine with toilet washbasin & bath with decent shower

Lovely apartment, views you can die for, located 15 minutes walk to St Ives beach, some steep inclines to conquer to and from the beach, not for the infirm or disabled. Appartment has everything you need for your stay, looking a little dated in places but comfortable.

Very comfortable flat with the most fantastic views of St Ives Bay, and the train coming in and out of the station below - we preferred to have our evening meals at the flat so we could fully enjoy the view. Flat has been furnished beautifully, comfy bed and lovely bathroom. Parking space greatly appreciated

The owners of this lovely apartment have gone to great lengths to ensure guests are comfortable. It is ideal for couples, positioned only a short walk into the heart of St Ives, the most fantastic view from the lounge window of Porthminster Beach. Free parking for one car on site is a huge benefit. The kitchen has everything you need, with lots of Read moreutensils, there is plenty of hot water and heating and a bedroom with a super comfy bed and lots of storage.
