About this property
Kernick Sands - 10min walk through the sand dunes to the beach. Private Parking!
Kernick Sands is set in on the outskirts of Hayle, just off the A30. We are between Phillack and Gwithian. The property backs onto Sandy Acres and the idyllic sand dunes of 'The Towans'.
Hayle beach stretches 3 miles long and is one of the most lifeguarded beaches in Cornwall. There are multiple lifeguard posts along the beach, along with regular quad bike and ski patrols, so you can swim, surf and snorkel worry-free.
Finding the property couldn't be easier, we are situated straight off the A30. There are local transport links close by, bus stops at the end of the road, and a train station in Hayle town. A short 10 minute drive to the stunning and iconic town of St Ives.
There are many local pubs, shops and restaurants nearby, I can recommend some upon request and help with reservations if needed, or you're more than welcome to fire up the BBQ in the garden and enjoy some freshly caught fish or whatever tickles your fancy.
We are lucky enough to have a Lidl a 5 minute walk down the road, a local convenience store 50 yards from the premises, as well as plenty of farmers markets and farm shops within a mile or two. Local harbour. West Cornwall Shopping Center a 10 minute from the property.
The annexe has been newly re-fitted last summer. We had an excellent season of guests, with some great feedback. We are always open to feedback and greatly keen to please; a shower screen and hob were added due to recommendations from previous guests.
Private entrance via the key coded gate on the left hand side; it is well lit and all one level for easy access. Outdoor lights are motion sensitive so no need to search for a switch. The driveway at the front of the house will be your private parking during your stay. The space is approximately 6m long x 3m wide; if for whatever reason your car is too large for this space, feel free to use the dropped curb or surrounding parking; there are no parking restrictions on my road.
When arriving into the garden area, the annexe is situated on your right. The key is kept in a safe next to the door.
I live in the main house, and will most likely be available (unless working away) if you have any questions throughout your stay. Otherwise I'll be at the end of the phone if needed :-)
Thanks for looking and if you have any questions, drop me a message.

About the host
Hosted by Tommy
I am a mid 30's science graduate. I moved here in my teens, although my family are still in the London/Sussex area. I have worked and lived abroad in many different countries, but have always considered Cornwall my home.
I am sports enthusiast, I have coached windsurfing, surfing, sailing, football, rugby, boxing, and actively compete. I have friends in most of these areas too, that run or own companies and can sometimes get you discounts.
I am very in touch with nutrition and love to eat fresh local food (so I can help with suggestions if you are like minded).
I have a dog and am dog friendly, however I do not allow animals inside the chalet.

Why they chose this property
I have had this property since 2020. It has been very hard work getting on the property ladder, however I am very glad I managed.
I had a tick list when buying;
- sand in my garden; no grass
- 3 bedrooms
- driveway/parking
- palm tree
- walking distance from the beach
I am so happy I managed to tick pretty much all of these boxes. The chances are if you're travelling to this area for a holiday, you will walk through the sand dunes and national reserve behind my house and you will understand why I chose to live here.

What makes this property unique
Benefits of living here, is how easy access is. Access to the beach, access to the A30. How close I am to some of Englands best surf breaks. Local villages like St Ives.
The ocean out the back is very versatile. Known as St Ives Bay, it wraps around like a horseshoe, with the East side of the beach (Godrevy- where you can see the iconic lighthouse), is a magnet for surf and great for fishing off the rocks opposite the lighthouse, with the deep waters and reef bottom. The further west you walk the more sheltered and the calmer waters are... take your pick.
