About this property

Stunning North Cornwall Beach House, direct beach access, surfing, amazing view

NOW BOOKING FOR AUTUMN AND NEW YEAR 2022
Beachside View Pentire is a unique gem in a perfect, quiet and breathtaking waterside location.
There is genuinely something to do for all ages and it is the perfect holiday house for a multi generation vacation and special occasions. Stunning views that change with the tide and a south facing back garden with direct access to an English sandy estuary beach. With Fisral surf beach only 200m from the front of the house you may not use your car all holiday! Build sandcastles, play in pools, play cricket on the vast expanse of sand or walk across to Crantock, a National Trust Beach. Paddleboard or kayak from our beach or float down on your surf board to Crantock. If you want one of the UK's best surfing beaches, walk 200 metres from the front door and you will be at the south (quieter) end of Fistral Beach, complete with surf schools, beach and surf clothing shops, cafes, bars and restaurants (The Fish House, Rick Steins, The Stable).
The contemporary house has a real 'wow' as you walk in and immediately catch glimpses of the turquoise water beyond. A 43'x18 living space with beautiful oak floor faces south and is flooded with light. Every comfort and convenience has been considered and both the well equipped modern kitchen and 5 en-suite bathrooms are a pleasure to use. Beds are sumptuous, bedlinen beautiful and towels soft. With Vispring and top end John Lewis mattresses, your back will enjoy the holiday too.
Take in the wonderful view, surf and bodyboard, go on coastal walks from the door, visit Cornwall's gardens in Spring, Christmas Markets in Fowey, Truro and Padstow in Winter or just laze on the beach in an English Summer. This is a very special holiday house for family or larger group holidays in a quiet and sought after area. However, the option of Newquay's facilities of cinema, indoor and outdoor tennis, boating lake, aquarium and zoo are only a mile away should you want them.
The house has a very large raised terrace with a stunning view of the water, for al fresco dining. Underneath, there is the large garden bedroom with superking size bed, seating area and large windows towards the water (see main photo). The ensuite has a double size shower with a rain drench head and rising shower head. Next to it, is a small games room with darts, air hockey or small pool table and TV with beanbag seating. These 2 rooms are accessed via the outside balcony steps offering one couple more seclusion and parents some quiet from their children!
There is a further large terrace with sofa style seating further down the sloping garden, ensuring there are several separate places to sit and read or admire the view if you like your own space for a while.
Short breaks are available out of the main season and school holidays although prices quoted via the VRBO site automated quote are not always correct because it has limited variables. Please therefore contact the owner with an enquiry. VRBO may include the refundable damage deposit as part of the quote so check the break down to see the actual rental price. Remember, March and October can be great months in Cornwall - beaches to yourself, early spring weather and good surf ! Winter brings bracing beach walks away from the crowds, reading by the log burner watching the tide rise and fall, cosy pub meals and Christmas artisan fairs and food markets. There is good wi-fi in the house if you want to keep in touch with work with a lovely view!

This is the place
All 10 members of our family ages 8 to 78 and two small dogs had a brilliant holiday at 2A Riverside Avenue. The space in the house and the location are as good as it gets. If you want an active holiday surfing, paddle boarding, walking the dog, or if you just want to sit on the terrace and watch the everchanging view this is the place to do it.

All very good and a great base for a week of varied activity. Access to beach a strong plus, albeit a little challenging on the steep path steps. Excellent accommodation and facilities, rather better than the photos. Small maintenance issues generally dealt with promptly.

Absolutely beautiful property and location
I stayed here with my family (4 grown up couples and my Grandson aged 2) and this property lived up to all of our expectations. The location is fantastic for accessing the Gannel to use our canoe and paddle boards. The views are stunning and the property was well equipped with everything anyone could need during the stay. The kitchen also had everything you could need and all the appliances and utensils were top quality. Every bedroom had an en suite which made it so much easier for everyone during the stay. The host provided a lovely welcoming box upon arrival for us which was a lovely touch. The pre-arrival communication was great and all of my enquiries were answered promptly, a big thank you to the host and everyone involved with this lovely property.

Family Christmas break
We had a very comfortable stay in this lovely modern open plan house with fabulous views over to Crantock. The House is very well equipped with everything thought of and provided (bar toiletries in en-suite bathrooms). Kitchen is very comprehensively stocked with all utensils and crockery aplenty and basic supplies and a welcome hamper with a bottle of lovely fizz! Beds very comfortable! outdoor terrace has an amazing view down to Crantock beach and we sat out with our evening drinks to watch the sunset kept warm by outdoor blankets provided. Perfect. We even did a morning dip in the river Gannel at bottom of the garden! The owners were very easy to get hold of and responded very quickly when we had a hitch with the heating. A really lovely Christmas which we haven’t managed for 4 years. Thank you

Perfect Place
Lovely property exactly as described. Access to Gannel estuary was a bit steeper than we expected so we are all very fit now. The estuary is perfect for toddlers and children to play on the sand and in the water pools. We took kayaks and SUPs with us and had great fun when the tide was higher.

Summer Break
The property was as stunning as the photos imply. One of the main reasons for staying at this property was the location with beautiful views of the Gannel and just moments away from Fistral beach. Perfectly located for taking many long walks, which we did! The property lacks for nothing and has plenty of room for everyone. The owners have tried to anticipate everyone's needs, especially in the kitchen. Tastefully furnished and comfortable. Heather was a delight to work with and supplied comprehensive information well in advance of our trans-Atlantic trip.

Stunning property, fantastic location
Well we fell in love in the first few minutes of opening the door. And it got better and better. Well stocked kitchen with everything you need, wonderful beds (we fell in love with the Garden room), stylish and open look to every room. But the cherry on top with sprinkles is the views. different on every level, at every time of day and from dawn to dusk. Heather and her staff are wonderful and the guide to Crantock is superb with lots of helpful local hints and tips. So please don't stay here - as we want to book again and don't want it to get booked up! :-)

An incredible stay. A 5* house in every way.
Wow. This property is superb and surpassed our expectations in every way. The bedrooms are large with en suites and the open living area feels really spacious. It is modern yet feels homely, largely due to the tasteful interior design. It has everything you need in terms of amenities. The owner is friendly and really responsive. The location is breathtaking with views straight over the Gannel estuary and Crantock beach. You can access the beach from the house via its own private stairs, where you can play for hours or pick up the SW Coastal path and go for endless walks. We're a family with young kids and we all loved our stay. Can't wait to go back!

Beautiful house with a fabulous view in a perfect location!
We had a lovely week in this beautiful house and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. The location is perfect - between the estuary and the sea - and we were able to leave the car in the drive for the week which was a joy. The view of the estuary is fabulous and ever-changing . The house itself is beautifully decorated and furnished - it oozes quality! The kitchen is very generously kitted out, with everything provided that anyone could possibly want. We appreciated all the thought that went into everything including the local information and the house instructions, both of which we received beforehand. I didn't realise that the beautiful views shown in the details are not just general views, but actually taken from the house and the garden. Perfect.

This property was just perfect. The location was quiet yet near to the beach with stunning views. The lawned garden was perfect for the children to let off steam and the 2 terraces both with seating and BBQs couldn't be bettered.

About the host

Hosted by Catherine Foster

Host profile image
We are a family of 5 with teenage children when we bought the house, 2 dogs and a large extended family with young nieces and nephews age <1 to 8. We therefore wanted to find a house in an area where there was something to do for all ages and it took a couple of years looking and many rejections before we bought Beachside View.
We are busy professionals and our holiday time is precious. When we go away, we want to stay somewhere that feels special, with exacting standards and attention to detail. Hence, Beachside View is finished to that standard. We love being able to walk everywhere (beaches, surfing, restaurants, to buy lobsters or ice creams....) and not sit in queues for beach carparks etc. We take very seriously, the responsibility that you have chosen to use our house for your much planned holiday and ensure you will not be disappointed.

Why they chose this property

The ever changing, unobstructed view of the beach from the garden patio and sitting room sold this house to us! It is something of which we will never tire and when we are older and less active, will just sit and look at it.
The house isn't bad either! Every bedroom having its' own ensuite bathroom is really useful and enough space that you can find a place on your own for a while with a book.

To have a sandy beach at the bottom of the garden and surfing at Fistral 200M from the front door, is to us, the ultimate British beach holiday. We knew of Newquay and National Trust Crantock before looking at the house but not Pentire which is a small peninsula between the 2. Thank goodness we found it !
Pentire is a hidden gem, with an extensive clifftop heathland, stunning walks and views and a residential area. There is something to do in the area for every member of our family, whatever the weather. Nobody is ever bored.
We enjoy having a whole host of different eateries and excellent restaurants to be able to walk to, most of them dog friendly. If we don't want to walk home, Atlantic Cabs charge us a very reasonable +/-£6 from anywhere in the area.
Newquay is a mile away if we want it for surf shops, supermarkets, the cinema or station but we can spend a week at the house without going in to it

What makes this property unique

Adjacent beach from the back garden, world class surfing beach from the front, a stunning water view that is forever changing with the tide and a stunning and luxuriously furnished house in which to stay.
We love being able to do so many diverse things without having to get in the car. This means our children can go off independently rather than always needing a lift. Having the water at the bottom of the garden (but the garden is totally fenced) is great and because it is effectively a tidal inlet (although called The River Gannel) there are not dangerous waves raging there. Meanwhile we can walk 2 minutes to Fistral which removes the hassle of trying to find a parking space. It's quicker to go and look at the surf than dial up the beach web camera.
2 or 3 families staying together can easily do their own thing on foot from the house and then meet up back at the house. Also if you get to the beach and have forgotten something it isn't a big deal to walk back for it. The house and garden has enough space that you can find a corner on your own for a bit if you want.
We love arriving and stretching our legs with a walk round the beautiful Pentire headland to the contemporary Lewinnick bar and restaurant.
From April-September, evenings are spent with a glass of wine on the patio watching the sunset over the water and listening to the sea. Or, in winter sitting cosily round the wood burner (although the house is too well insulated to actually need it!)
The only troublesome thing about coming here is that you don't want to leave.
