Set on St Ives’ harbourside, this homely maisonette welcomes couples or a family to come and enjoy its delightful seaside atmosphere, far-reaching coastal views and wonderful private balcony overlooking the ocean.

Enter through the front door and into the entrance hallway with its original tiled floor. From the entrance hall, ascend the a set of stairs to the first floor, where you’ll find two bright bedrooms. The master bedroom boasts stunning views over the bay towards Godrevy Lighthouse through a large sash window that is the access point for the small private balcony. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine while taking in the stunning views. After your peaceful night’s rest, head up three more steps to the family bathroom to refresh and revitalise, then climb the second set of stairs to the second floor, where you will find the well-equipped kitchen/diner. When you’re ready to unwind, head through to the lounge area and curl up on the comfy sofa, gazing out of the large picture window at the panoramic views across the bay beyond.

Experience the stunning coastal town of St Ives and its surroundings, where you can soak up the sun on the expansive golden sands, try your hand at exciting water sports, or cast a line for some fishing. Discover the charming narrow streets lined with independent shops, restaurants and bars, offering plenty of options for a delicious meal or a drink. For art enthusiasts, there’s an abundance of inspiration to be found nearby, including the Barbara Hepworth Museum and the impressive Tate St Ives, both within a mile. Venture further afield to the breathtaking Minack Theatre (17 miles), an open-air amphitheatre where you can enjoy a variety of plays throughout the summer. Alternatively, explore the working fishing harbour of Newlyn or discover the legends of St Michael’s Mount, both less than 20 miles away.

The double glazing panel on the sea side of the upper floor has blown and has constant condensation in it which blocks the lovely view. There is nowhere to store toothbrushes and other items in the bathroom. The addition of a small shelf or cabinet would be an improvement. If you book this place you also need to be aware that there is a small kiRead moretchen bin and the rubbish is only collected at the end of your stay, so you will have to bag it up and store it on the kitchen floor or in the hall in the interim. This is a lovely, lovely property in an amazing location but to be honest I was really disappointed by it. Hide

We have stayed at Driftwood Heights for the last two years with 2 children aged 11 & 4. We find the location perfect, due to the close location to the beaches & harbour, but away from the noise of the main streets. The views from main bedroom & lounge are exceptional. We find this accommodation clean & comfortable, theres lots of storage space Read more& the kitchen is well equipped. The only real downside is the pigeons & seagulls making a constant mess on the balcony - I realise this cant be helped, but it did mean we couldn't use the balcony as much as we would have liked. Original cottages were great at responding, when I asked this to be cleaned on our arrival. We will definitely book again! Hide
