Property code: OC-CRAB03

Perfect for a couple looking for a revitalising break amid St Ives’ myriad attractions, this property boasts a central location close to the town’s railway station and amenities as well as fantastic views towards St Ives Harbour and out across St Ives Bay. Porthminster Beach is just a few minutes’ walk, and its surf school offers coasteering, sea kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding. A few minutes’ walk in the other direction and you’ll arrive at St Ives Harbour where you can take to the water on a boat tour and enjoy a sea safari, fishing trip or even a thrilling rib ride. And after a busy day, the town’s many bars and restaurants will provide well-earned sunset drinks and hearty meals.

This second-floor apartment is entered via a shared hallway and two flights of stairs. The front door leads directly into the apartment’s central living area – a lounge/kitchen/diner drenched in light from windows on three sides. This room has a comfortable sofa area, a contemporary kitchen and a dining table and chairs set right by the wide windows for mealtime view gazing. There’s also a cosy double bedroom with windows on two sides and a modern shower room.

For an al fresco supper, grab some fish and chips and head for that close-at-hand beach – it really is the best table in the house!

Fabulous view, come sun or windy weather and rough sea. A little bit noisy with the flat roof in very heavy rain.

The views from the living area are outstanding. It is also quiet considering it is located by a popular walkway to the beach. We were there at the end of June before high season. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Location is fab. Unfortunately we werent aware that you could reserve parking at the nearby station car park which would have been ideal as the moment you leave it is very unlikely that you will get a space on your return. You would therefore have to park much further away. Therefore we did feel a bit tied to St Ives.

One word. Perfect! The station long stay car park was cheap as chips for a weeks stay! Approx 15, which can be paid on arrival. Fabulous location and stunning views. The cottage was a lot more spacious! Entrance area for coats, footwear and fishing tackle, keeping everything in one place before going upstairs to the accommodation! ARead moreccommodation super cosy and very comfortable, also very clean. Being able to have the windows fully open, seeing, feeling and breathing the ocean air was delightful and an absolute treat! Warm and toastie at all times! We have already recommended to others, and we are looking to see when we can visit again! Off season suits us better! A really great stay! One of the best! Thank you so much X Hide

Great location well everything you could want for a happy stay only downside the bed was too soft for us and parking may be an issue in high season. We loved the view and listening to the waves on the rocks below would definatley stay again
