Amazing stay, fantastic location, and friendly hosts - we couldn't have asked for more. The sea views are to die for. We spent so many hours in that window seat, watching the dogs on the beach, the storm over the sea, and the sunset over the town. When you get bored of that, you can walk barefoot for the 20 meters to the beach, and wander across the rockpools searching for crabs. The property itself is really spacious and well set up. My mum walked in & her jaw dropped - it's just so much bigger & airier than the photos do justice to. You can tell that the family have used the property themselves for years, and have thought of everything - labelled drawers, well-equipped kitchen, and it even has fast Wifi (not expected at the tip of Cornwall!) Finally, you're in the middle of town. Turn the corner to a nationally rated art gallery (Penwith); 2 mins walk to the harbour; 3 mins walk to Fore street. Beautifully designed yet welcoming, with sea and town together. We'll be back!

Gorgeous flats, both with so many tiny quirks that every time you look around you see something new, and yet the space feels utterly cool, calm and elegant. Of course the sea, beautifully framed by the huge window seats, is the prime attraction- we saw dolphins one day and a storm tearing across the bay the next! The bunk room (3 beds high!) is a personal highlight - many great games of pirates played in there while we were staying. Can’t recommend enough!

Lily Ash Sakula

It’s hard to praise this holiday let too much. It’s in absolutely the most perfect position, directly overlooking the beach on a quiet street, a short walk from the best St Ives has to offer from restaurants and pubs to art galleries and museums. The atmosphere in the apartment is really warm and comfortable, the place is full of lovely pictures and the most personal touches. It’s been thoughtfully designed, but not to strike you at first glance, but to emerge in your consciousness when you stop to think about it. And, it’s superbly well equipped and furnished to guarantee a comfortable and restful stay.

Living

A magical space, flooded with light, shaped by the sea. The dining area and L shaped sofa create a multifaceted space for dining, relaxation and creativity.

As the day fades, hand-painted curtains by one of the family transform the space - each window becoming a different portrait of St Ives.
