This pleasant, coastal apartment is a versatile property that would suit a family or a group of friends holidaying together in St Ives. It is located just 100 metres from one of the town’s beautiful sandy stretches, Porthmeor Beach. This family-friendly town beach is also popular with surfers, so beginners and improvers might like to rent a board and dive in. St Ives is a pretty harbour town with winding cobbled streets and lots to see and do. Visitors can delve into the vibrant arts scene here, calling in at some of the many galleries, including the Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden. For walkers, there are plenty of dramatic trails to follow along the coast path and Land’s End is 18 miles away. Back at base, St Ives offers a great array of places to eat, drink and shop.
The apartment is laid out across two floors on the second and third floors of the building. It is accessed via a tarmac road and a shared secure gate. Once inside the central courtyard, guests access the property via a flight of stairs and enter the first floor via a hallway.

There are lovely beach and sea views from the apartment, tempting you to head down and feel the sand between your toes. The lounge features a pair of easy chairs and a sofa bed offering versatile sleeping arrangements. Also on this floor is the first bedroom with a zip-and-link twin bed configuration that can be made into a super-king upon request.
