Overview
Property code: OC-PEDTC1

Within easy reach of Porthminster Beach, this stylish ground-floor apartment is an ideal coastal escape for families or friends keen to soak up the best of St Ives. Stroll down to the sand and take in sweeping views across St Ives Bay towards Godrevy Lighthouse. With the town’s working harbour, galleries and exceptional food scene all close at hand, this is a place for guests who want classic Cornish beach days balanced with culture, coastal walking and a welcoming base to return to.

Set within an elegant building, the apartment is a light, modern retreat with an easy, laid-back coastal feel. The open-plan living space is designed for quality time together, whether that’s cooking, dining or unwinding after a day out. Soft tones and contemporary furnishings create a calm backdrop, while the large bay window fills the space with natural light and offers sea glimpses. The kitchen is sleek and well equipped for anything from simple breakfasts to relaxed evening meals. Two beautifully presented bedrooms sleep up to four guests: a king-size main bedroom with its own en-suite shower room, and a second bedroom with a king-size zip-and-link bed that can be made up as a twin on request. Outside, a small enclosed courtyard to the front of the building is a serene spot to watch the world go by. Secure garage parking is provided for one car beneath the apartment.

St Ives is one of Cornwall’s most sought-after destinations, and this apartment places you within easy reach of everything that makes it so special. Porthminster Beach is just 400 metres away, while Porthmeor Beach, 0.5 miles away, draws surfers with its Atlantic swells and sits beside the renowned Tate St Ives gallery. Wander 0.5 miles into the heart of St Ives to explore its charming streets, independent shops, cafés and the bustling harbour, or join the South West Coast Path for walks along this dramatic stretch of coastline. Further afield, Gwithian Beach is 9 miles away, Marazion and the tidal causeway to St Michael’s Mount are 10 miles away, and the rugged beauty of Land’s End lies 18 miles from the door.

  • 2 bedrooms – 1 king-size bed, 1 king (zip and link, can be made into twin beds on request)

A great apartment! Fab location, five minute walk from the beach or into the town. Comfy beds and having a small outdoor space and a place to park are a real plus and quite unusual to find in St Ives! Would definitely return.

A lovely place, nicely furnished. Great proximity to all beaches, coastal path and the town, just a 5 minute walk. Great to have the garage to park in, best to reverse in as could be tight getting out of car parked opposite. Was a little hot at times and didn't seem to be able to open windows.

Lovely, clean, well equipped apartment close to amenities yet far enough away to be quiet. Slept really well! The apartment was comfortable and warm.

The location was great and having parking was a bonus. The walk into town is easy despite a hill. The road is quite noisy which surprised us. The living space is nicely designed and the kitchen is well equipped. We were a little disappointed in the state of the towel rail and grout in the bathrooms as the rest of the property was nice.

The flat is very pleasant, clean and comfortable. It is in a good location. It was a problem not be able to open the windows ad the flat was very warm.

This apartment is clean and great for two couple or a small family. The living and dining area are comfy. The 2 bedrooms are fine but the 2 single beds are on the small side.

Excellent location, the apartment was lovely and warm due to it's sun facing aspect. Post pandemic like many places a little tired around the edges and in need of some maintenance. The private parking is a diamond in the rough as you don't often get parking on site in St Ives. The living room, dining room and kitchen were very well laid out offerinRead moreg cosy evening space and light bright lazy breakfast spaces. The apartment is suited to someone with limited mobility, manual wheelchair and walking frame users would not struggle here. Power wheelchair users might struggle a little but with assistance it's doable, not suitable for adults requiring a hoist or rotunda for moving to or from wheelchair. 7 minute walk to 2 co-ops but be warned St Ives is old and the council is yet to install dropped kerbs on the majority of pavements meaning there are times where you have to walk along the road. Some areas are quite steep to navigate, but the majority of the streets in Portminster town and along to St Ives are flat, some areas are cobbled so needs good suspension to wheel around. Many of the shops have failed to make themselves accessible using portable ramps, however some were incredible with customer service, running out to assist and offering for the carer to take photos of items to show to the disabled person. Overall we had a pleasant stay and have left feedback for the owner regarding the maintenance issues to look into that may have easily been overlooked during a busy peak season. Hide

The apartment was in a lovely location. Central to everything. Very hilly so be warned. The garage is very large inside and was big enough to take off the top box and store at the side. When I asked if there was anywhere for it to be stored they said no. We stored it in the garage all week (not on the car). It needs a good refurb.
