Property code: OC-1SEAB

Make your escape to this elegant and light-filled apartment with its own lovely terrace boasting sea views. It sits across the ground floor of a grand house in West Cornwall’s enchanting St Ives. Known for its thriving creative scene, with galleries galore and a multitude of artists living and working in the area, this coastal town is the perfect place to take in wonderful artwork between beach trips. Porthmeor Beach, Bamaluz Beach and St Ives Harbour are all within half a mile of this apartment, or you could enjoy a 2-mile jaunt down to neighbouring Carbis Bay, home to its own stunning, wide, sandy beach.

A short flights of steps lead up to this elevated ground-floor property, but once you’re inside, everything is laid out across one level. The delightful kitchen boasts all you need to cater to the group. The lounge/diner is a lovely room with picture windows that take advantage of the far-reaching sea views. This welcoming living area has comfortable sofas and a Smart TV, plus a dining table to seat up to four guests. Easy chairs in the window ensure the views can easily be enjoyed while you relax inside. When day turns to night, choose from two wonderful bedrooms – one super-king and one double. The super-king bed has a zip-and-link set up so it can be made into a twin if requested when booking. This bedroom also has its own study area with a table and a chair. Finally, freshen up in the wonderful shower room with a walk-in shower, illuminated mirror, and a lovely, heated towel rail too.

A door leads from the kitchen/diner onto the fabulous terrace space with glorious sea views and outside furniture where you can unwind and dine alfresco while listening to the sounds of St Ives. The terrace is on the same level as the ground-floor apartment, however, due to the angle of the house, it sits in an elevated position.

  • 2 bedrooms – 1 zip-and-link super-king-size bed (can be made up as a twin on request) and 1 double
  • 1 shower room with a walk-in shower and a WC
  • Electric hob and oven, fridge with ice box, slimline dishwasher, microwave

This flat is in an ideal position with lovely views of the harbour and island. The accommodation was well laid out, well equipped and very cosy, this was very much appreciated as our stay was in November. The owner contacted me before our stay to explain that there was scaffolding in place at the side of the building which would not impact our stayRead more. It didn't but I thought that informing me in advance was a nice touch. Hide

Really nice place, would book again. Pros: fab location, short walk to town and beaches, beautiful sea & headland views from the lounge. Key safe mean you could just walk the few mins to the beach in swimwear and leave keys & phone at home. Very clean, nice new furnishings, comfy beds & linen, amazingly powerful shower, everything worked. Read more Outside space for drying wetsuits, towels etc, picnic table to eat outside looking across the bay. Cons: There is a parking space but its quite small & awkward - my estate car took some very careful manoeuvring to get in. To get out you need to reverse out & back up the hill, no room to turn. Fortunately the second space was unoccupied during our stay which helped but if 2 large cars would have been difficult. No washing machine. This wasnt too inconvenient in good weather but might be a problem if getting wet & muddy each day, or with younger children. Hide

Comfortable, quiet. light and spacious apartment with spectacular views across St Ives. Great to be able to sit out on your own private terrace. A few minutes walk into town with a steep walk back up. Having a car parking space right behind the property is definitely a bonus.

Flat was clean, comfortable and well furnished. Views are fantastic, of course that did mean a steep climb back from the beach or town but worth it! Location is very quiet and we slept well. Parking space is very tight and access really depends on whether the person in the adjoining space has parked considerately.

Good location however we were unable to park on arrival as the allocated space was not available, this caused unnecessary stress and inconvenience when one of the reasons for booking was to have a guaranteed parking space. Suggest the allocated bay is more clearly marked/roped off. There was also black mould in both bedrooms.
