Tastefully furnished and with ample space for relaxation, you'll have all you need to enjoy a truly comfortable stay. Two spacious bedrooms and a family bathroom are found on the first floor while the large master bedroom with its own en-suite can be found on the top floor. Downstairs, the home's living room is cosy and welcoming with a bay window letting in plenty of sunshine, while the big kitchen which lies open plan with the dining area, is amply equipped for whipping up home-made meals. A sliding door leads outside to a furnished terrace which can be pulled back to extend the inside space out, so on warm days you can enjoy breakfast or drinks outside in the fresh sea air. One of the best things about this property's position is that although it's within a short distance of the heart of St Ives, it's also set in a quieter area a little further away from the bustle. The harbour is just a short 13-minute walk from the front door (or a 6-minute drive if you don't fancy the walk back up), and the town's best restaurants, galleries, shops and attractions are also at your fingertips. Not only is Porthmeor Beach the perfect spot for swimming, sunbathing and family fun, it's also one of west Cornwall's premier surfing beaches, enjoying consistent waves all year round. It's ideal for bodyboarding too so if you'd like to take to the water during your stay, there's a beach-based surf school with qualified instructors offering lessons as well as board and wetsuit hire available. A top tip is that one of the area's favourite places to eat out is Porthmeor Beach Café. Resting right on the sand, and is the best place to watch the sun set over the water from its sea-facing terrace, while enjoying some delicious seafood or a crisp glass of wine of course! Good Housekeeping Bond We ask our guests for a £150 good housekeeping bond, which is pre-authorised against your card. This is in case there is any damage to the property during your stay. The money is simply reserved and then released afterwards if there is no claim. We will contact you nearer the time of your arrival to arrange this. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Internet access ### Parking and transport - Electric car charging station on site -

It felt like it had only just been renovated. Everything seemed brand new. Comfy beds with high quality linen and towels. Warm. Welcome gifts of milk, orange juice and biscuits. Up the hill from sea / centre of St Ives but only a 5 / 10 min walk. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dominic W. 2 Feb 2025 #### Lovely comfortable house, well decorated and a 10 minute walk to town. This is a lovely decorated and well presented house that is well appointed and we really loved our stay. We had a slight problem with the hot water not initially working, but a call to the agent soon resolved it. I managed to park my VW T5 in the back yard area, which was a bit tight, but given the parking issue in St Ives this was a blessing. You have to reverse up the rear small lane to get the vehicle out and it does mean the rear gates are left open, but there would have been space to use the outdoor seating so no major issue. The house has everything you need and is a 10 minute walk to town and Porthmeor Beach. It is uphill on the way back, so be advised. We would definitely stay again. ##### Dominic W. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard L. 31 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Great property about 10 minutes walk from the town or beach. Would definitely recommend this place. ##### Richard L. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 23 Aug 2025 #### Lovely accommodation in a great location We have stayed in this street before but this house was much nicer. Really comfortable and well equipped and beautifully decorated. Very close to the town and beaches (down a hill so takes longer to come home!) Parking space is round the back of the house and is very tight but it’s all narrow streets round St Ives! Nice to have a few essentials to welcome us and two key safes (front and back) which make it very convenient with the family. A lovely stay. Thank you! ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Crafted at Powdermills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Battle-Hotels-Powdermills-Country-House-Hotel.h195688.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Canterbury](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canterbury-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Canterbury.h66541221.Hotel-Information) > > [Wild Rose Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Appleby-In-Westmorland-Hotels-Wild-Rose-Caravan-Park.h24459296.Hotel-Information) > > [White Hart, Exeter by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exeter-Hotels-White-Hart.h11899395.Hotel-Information) > > [The Stables Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Stables-Whitby.h23322490.Hotel-Information) > > [Samsara Retreat and Yoga - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maidstone-Hotels-Samsara-Retreat-And-Yoga.h41349775.Hotel-Information) > > [Cromer Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cromer-Hotels-Cromer-Country-Club.h1927781.Hotel-Information) > > [The Skipton Hotel - Formerly Hotel Rendezvous](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skipton-Hotels-Hotel-Rendezvous.h41466.Hotel-Information) > > [Bear Lodge - At Port Lympne Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Bear-Lodge-Aspinall-Foundation.h40101484.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinewood Camping Pods - At Port Lympne Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Pinewood-Apinall-Foundation.h40101599.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandman Signature Sheffield Quays Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sheffield-Hotels-The-Quays-Hotel-Sheffield.h46197620.Hotel-Information) > > [Skegness The Royal Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel-Skegness.h23931999.Hotel-Information) > > [Soar Mill Cove Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Soar-Mill-Cove-Hotel.h2042032.Hotel-Information) > > [Seven Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Southend-On-Sea-Hotels-Seven-Hotel.h19282555.Hotel-Information) > > [Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-Milton-Hotels-Chewton-Glen-Hotel-Spa.h528432.Hotel-Information) > > [OYO Shanklin Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shanklin-Hotels-OYO-Shanklin-Beach-Hotel.h7539838.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton London Elstree](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Borehamwood-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-London-Elstree.h18549.Hotel-Information) > > [Exeter Rougemont hotel by Sunday](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exeter-Hotels-Exeter-Rougemont-Hotel-By-Sunday.h7784.Hotel-Information) > > [Crow Wood Hotel & Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burnley-Hotels-Crowwood-Hotel-Spa-Resort.h38222710.Hotel-Information) > > [The Swan Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wells-Hotels-The-Swan-Hotel.h26791.Hotel-Information) > > [The Aviator, formerly Smugglers Cove, Clacton On Sea by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clacton-On-Sea-Hotels-Smugglers-Cove-By-Marstons-Inns.h35853904.Hotel-Information) > > [Yeoldon House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bideford-Hotels-Yeoldon-House.h2764122.Hotel-Information) > > [Brock Cottage private Hot Tub DOG/Cat FRIENDLY\* with on site fishing](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pickering-Hotels-Spacious-Stone-Cottage-DOG-FRIENDLY.h36805890.Hotel-Information) > > [Chimney House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sandbach-Hotels-Chimney-House-Hotel.h527768.Hotel-Information) > > [Mermaid, Ipswich by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ipswich-Hotels-Mermaid.h31883430.Hotel-Information) > > [Lock Keeper, Worksop by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worksop-Hotels-Lock-Keeper.h27479298.Hotel-Information) > > [voco Leicester by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leicester-Hotels-Voco-Leicester.h76596043.Hotel-Information) > > [Canterbury Bell, Margate by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Broadstairs-Hotels-Canterbury-Bell.h33103125.Hotel-Information) > > [Wild Thyme & Honey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-Wild-Thyme-Honey.h9241983.Hotel-Information) ---
