Property code: OC-BPB17

Occupying a prime location overlooking the famous surfing beach of Porthmeor, this stylish apartment offers the ultimate coastal escape for a couple or small family looking to enjoy the beaches and attractions of St Ives. Beach days are a given here, whether you want to hit the surf or try one of the more sheltered bays scattered around the town. St Ives has a rich artistic heritage, with Tate St Ives just over 300 metres along the beach road and the Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Garden less than half a mile away. It’s a lovely town to simply wander around, exploring narrow cobbled streets, independent shops, a picturesque fishing harbour, and a wonderful food scene. For a change of scenery, Land’s End is 19 miles away and the iconic, castle-topped St Michael’s Mount is just 9 miles.

This is a contemporary and compact apartment with unrivalled sea views that’s finished to a high standard throughout. Steps lead up to the front door and straight into the light and airy, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. The chic galley kitchen occupies one end of the room, next to the dining table. At the other end of the room, two comfortable sofas face each other next to a TV and large patio windows leading to the balcony. A door off the entryway takes you into the shower room and WC. There’s an open staircase off the lounge going up to a mezzanine bedroom with a king size bed (5ft) and a wash basin, that looks down on the lounge and out to sea. A sliding door separates the king size bed from a space containing twin beds.

The balcony offers a superb spot to watch sunsets and surfers, and enjoy a drink in the sea air. At the base of the property, there’s a pathway leading directly to the beach; note that in winter this can be impassable due to sand build-up.

This is a gorgeously appointed flat with an outstanding view over Porthminster beach When the tide is in its like being on board a ship. We love the place and have been coming back over several years. We have been with our grown up children, a German friend and this year just the two of us occupying the whole of the generous upstairs space.

We have been returning to this particular flat for something like 20 years now and there is a very good reason. Unbeatable views, direct beach access, parking, well equipped, convenient for access to amenities and always clean. Even if the weather is not good, the flat is the perfect place to watch the sea from. Well be back.
