A charming apartment set in an elevated location on the St Ives harbour with far-reaching ocean vistas. This breezy coastal home is the ideal escape for couples seeking to unwind by the sea. Sample a fragrant infusion of Mediterranean and Asian cuisine with an unbeatable backdrop at the Porthminster beachside restaurant (500 metres), before sinking onto the soft leather seats to watch the sun slipping below the horizon.
This property boasts a stylish simplicity with a cool neutral colour palette, cyan splashes of colour, and minimalist decor. Ascend the exterior granite steps and be lulled into the airy lounge/kitchen/diner by the striking picture windows. Whip up a simple supper in the glossy kitchenette then feast around the wooden dining table as you plan out your perfect West Coast itinerary. After supper, curl up on the quirky seats with a tipple and people-watch on the bustling waterfront below or unwind with a film. Enjoy a restorative rinse in the shower room before retiring to the inviting double bedroom for a relaxing night’s sleep. Outside, perch on the benches and soak in the early morning hustle and bustle of the harbour or take advantage of the outstanding beaches and walks a stone’s throw away.
Venture downstairs to scoff fresh seafood or catch a live music performance at the Rum and Crab Shack. Peruse a thought-provoking exhibition at the Tate St Ives (200 metres) or stroll along the gently lapping shoreline of Carbis Bay (1.5 miles). Don’t miss a visit to the iconic Land’s End Viewpoint (19 miles) to amble along the rugged clifftop trail.
