Take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life at this relaxing beachfront apartment beside Porthmeor Beach in the pretty town of St Ives. Sleeping two people in one bedroom, this is an idyllic accommodation option for couples in search of a romantic retreat on the Cornish coast. During the day, climb aboard a double-kayak to explore St Ives Bay, and in the evening, come home to your apartment and enjoy an intimate dinner for two.

Step inside and you’ll be greeted by a stylish open-plan kitchen/living/dining area bathed in a palette of soft grey and white tones. Slip onto a sofa in the living area and allow the soothing decor to make you feel perfectly at home. When it’s time for dinner, you’ll find everything you need to cook a romantic meal for two in the chic kitchen area. Enjoy an intimate meal at the dining table, before heading out to the charming shared courtyard to enjoy a glass of wine and watch the stars come out. Afterwards, snuggle up on the sofa in front of the TV in the living area. When it’s time for bed, retire the gracious, glamorous bedroom for the night.

Grab your fishing rod and try your hand at catching some mackerel or sea bass in St Ives Bay. Simply head down to the harbour (0.5 miles) and join one of the many fishing trips on offer. Alternatively, pack a picnic and make your way to the gorgeous Porthmeor Beach (0.5 mile) to stroll on the sand and soak up some sun with your special someone.

Great little bolthole, 23 steps from the beach (I counted!) Small but really well appointed and we enjoyed our stay. Comfortable bed and great shower. Close to all the gorgeous streets of Downalong and all of the facilities that St Ives has to offer. Unfortunately a car from an adjoining property was parked in the courtyard so we struggled to sit oRead moreut but with the beach being so close it wasn't a big issue, also sometimes on entering the property, there was a slight musty smell, I guess from being lower ground floor, but once both doors opened it quickly cleared. Such a great location and beautifully refurbed, we would stay again. Hide

A lovely, warm modern interior, the bathroom is a treat. We loved being able to walk out straight onto the beach. Stepping out into a small courtyard made it quiet with a secure feeling. This was our second visit this year so we noticed some wear and tear - on the carpet and heating system - but as this was late November I'm sure winter is the tiRead moreme for repairs. a Lovely relaxing place to enjoy St Ives.
