Perfect Location - Beautiful View

Just a wonderful apartment overlooking the beach and with expansive views. The rooms are all very comfortable and nicely appointed. Just far enough from the hustling downtown to enjoy the peacefulness of the area. Stones throw from the railway stop made it convenient and just off the coastal path. Will recommend to friends and family!

Luxury apartment with a beautiful view.

Stunning apartment in a great location, the view from the balcony was amazing and the apartment itself is luxury with grand, tall ceilings and sea views from the living room and master bedroom. The views from the master bedroom especially were spectacular. I suggest opening the sash windows slightly before sleeping to enjoy the sound of the waves at night. The parking space is located to the front of the property just below the stairwell entrance which is a rare thing in St Ives and a massive boon. Cleanliness was perfect. Plenty of decent utensils for cooking etc. I couldn’t fault our stay and highly recommend a visit. You are poised on the main road into St Ives so you may notice road noise initially but that soon fades and you can rarely find a place without road traffic due to the nature of the town. Thank you for having us, we loved it and look forward to staying again!

St. Ive's Holiday

The apartment is beautiful and very comfortable! The view of the beach is lovely and the location is very convenient. It was a great place to come back to after a long day of exploring the area. We had a little difficulty finding the correct doorway when checking in, but that may have been partly due to our jet lag after many hours of travel from the states.

Fabulous half term break

Perfect family holiday home, fabulous views and a beautiful, well equipped beach down a steep path / steps directly opposite property. Quite easy walk into town too. The property had everything and more to be able to enjoy a lovely few days in the sun.

Lovely early Spring Break

Beautifully clean and modernised apartment with splendid views overlooking St Ives Bay. Particularly well furnished with all you could want for a holiday provided for you.We were very appreciative of the easy to operate heating system which was very welcome given the largely inclement weather we had.

Lovely stay in high quality apartment

The apartment has been furnished and decorated with thought and care and to a high specification. Lovely light, spacious accommodation, spotlessly clean. Stunning view. Just a few minutes walk to the town/harbour and beaches, a few more minutes walking back up the hill though! Will certainly look to return and will recommend to others.

Wonderful apartment in the perfect location!

We have just returned from a fantastic week in St Ives. The apartment was lovely and very well located. The beds were comfortable and the apartment was well equipped with everything that we needed. The beach was very close and the main centre was also within easy reach (only an 8 minute walk away). It was also great to use the hotel pool on our final day when the weather was a little bit hit and miss. We have stayed at other properties in St Ives and the parking at this apartment is by far the best (a big plus if you have an SUV). Thanks Liz for the amazing communication throughout our booking. We will definitely be back.

Stunning views, fab apartment

We really enjoyed staying at this lovely apartment. The parking space was a real bonus in this busy holiday port. We were glad to have a balcony for the morning sun, large bedrooms, a stunning bay window in the living room and two decent sized bathrooms for the family. We hope very much to return soon.

St Ives leg

The condo we rented was gorgeous and in a great location. We were able to walk to the town and around the many footpaths in the area. Parking was a little tight next to the building but a lot closer than the long stay parking. We will definitely recommend this condo to any friends who might consider a stay in St Ives

Sommer in St.Ives

Super gemütliche Wohnung für 4 Personen. Ausstattung lässt keine Wünsche offen. Von der Buchung über Check-in sehr schnelle Rückmeldung von den Eigentümer Dave und Liz. Perfekt Parkplatz vor der Tür, alle Strände, Restaurants, Bäcker etc. und Sehenswürdigkeiten sind zu Fuß erreichbar. Porthminster Beach zum Beispiel in 3 Minuten. Einziger kleiner Nachteil ist die Straße vor der Haustür. Die ganze Familie hat eine sehr entspannte Urlaubswoche verbracht.
