  • Complete with private parking and patio space – gold-dust when renting in ever-popular St Ives

Property code: OC-TRECAR

Be blessed with some of St Ives’ very best views when staying right here, a three-bedroom coastal property with picture windows offering seemingly endless sea views. A real beach-goers delight, this holiday home provides the perfect base for anyone eager to sunbathe, surf or embark on any other water sports from sandy shores. Access the ever-popular Porthmeor Beach within 500 metres or visit St Ives’ quieter Balamuz Beach (0.5 miles) for some peace and serenity on the sands. From here, you’ll also find the St Ives Museum, a must-visit for exploring the town’s vibrant history. The Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum (0.5 miles) are on-hand for discovering the town’s artistic past, whilst a visit to one of the many art galleries and studios close by will introduce you to the town’s still-thriving artistic culture. You’ll no doubt pass artists working away as you browse the independent shops that dot these cobbled streets.

This two-storey property features a clean and modern interior with stylish tones of grey throughout. This choice of décor and design allows for the sea views from the many picture windows to really take centre stage in every room. When you arrive, three steps take you up to the front door where you’ll enter into an open-plan kitchen/diner, complete with attractive wooden flooring, a quality Belfast sink and plenty of space for sitting down to eat together. Bring along your canvas and art supplies to make use of the easel positioned by the window. Just next door you’ll find a cosy lounge with wood burner and TV, a fabulous spot for curling up together and soaking up some entertainment as the evening sets in. The property’s double bedroom can be found right here on the ground floor, along with a spacious family bathroom. Step down into the lower-ground floor to discover two further bedrooms – one made up as a king-size and the second made up with a double bunk bed. A stay in any of the three bedrooms invites you to wake up each morning to magnificent sea views from the sprawling picture windows. Finally, an additional shared bathroom completes this floor.

At the front of the property, you’ll find a pretty patio space with a bench, table and chairs. Wake up each morning and take morning coffee right here, watching as the surfers set up for the day. If you’re a surfer yourself, be sure to make use of the handy outdoor shower for cleaning off those wetsuits and sandy hair before making yourself comfortable indoors.

The cottage has a lovely view but is located on a very steep hill that made it difficult to come up from/go down to St Ives. This wasn't suitable for someone with mobility problems.

Best view of St Ives from the house. Comfortable house and well equipped, although we didnt do any cooking, as St Ives has so much choice for eating out, and extremely dog friendly for dining out in restaurants, cafes and pubs.

Trecarrack is in a very good location, the views from the seating area are fantastic, we were able to watch the seals through the binoculars and have a perfect unobstructed view of St Ives and Porthmeor beach. Kitchen has all that you require, outdoor seating area, utility room, TV room ( which we didn't use ). One thing to note is that TrecarracRead morek is located at the top of a very steep hill and some may find it difficult. Parking is available and with some difficulty we did manage to reverse our Discovery around the corner of the next door property, not easy but if you have a smaller car, VW Golf size it shouldn't be too much of a headache. Overall we thought the property was fairly good value for money, although there are one or two issues which I have raised with the owners. Hide

Cottage is very well equipped and in a great location. The views from the cottage are amazing and a real selling point. This is our second stay here as we loved it last year for these two reasons.

In addition, the parking is extremely tight - the drive way is sandwiched between a wall and next doors garage which meant a lot of precision was needed to park and move the car, including having to move the car out to allow passengers to get in and out (not ideal for those travelling with prams and car seats!). Its also worth noting that the property is positioned on top of a steep hill (which gives the amazing views), however the walk into town, although very short, includes a walk down (& back up) a very steep hill.

A very comfortable property with the most amazing views. We had a lovely week. Whilst there is parking it is VERY narrow and tricky to get into and only suitable really for one small car. We have a Mercedes estate. We did manage but it was very stressful to park and get out of the space again.

A lovely positioned cottage, with views to die for and comfortable accommodation. The parking is, as indicated, only suitable for a small or medium vehicle - I squeezed a Quashqui in thanks to help from the cameras / sensors on it. Perfectly positioned for taking my dog on regular walks on the beach and along the coastal paths.

the cottage is magnificently situated overlooking the bay. It is spacious and adequately equiped but it would be better to have a matching set of crockery and glasses for 6 persons. i think the wardrobes should be left empty for guests to use. the main issue is the parking access which is very tight for even an average size car. the information to Read morereverse in should be on the website and information sent before arriving!
