Enjoy a wonderful Cornish seaside holiday at this stylish apartment in an amazing location, just over 150 metres from Porthminster beach with stunning views across the golden sands. The apartment makes a comfy base for a couple with a double room and an allocated parking space.

Contemporary styling and a nautical theme in the open-plan living area make this a welcoming space to come back to after a fun day on the beach. It’s 14 steps up to the property from the rear parking area, and the apartment is all on one floor. The lounge area is light and inviting, with awesome views and a comfy sofa. It has an electric fire for chilly evenings and an OLED TV, Blu-Ray  player and CD player for chilled evenings. The kitchen has everything you need to rustle up delicious meals, then you can enjoy them together at the dining table for four. For washing, there’s a washing machine in the shared laundry room. There’s plenty of storage in the double bedroom, along with a TV, and the family bathroom completes the flat. Conveniently, the apartment has a designated car parking space.

Head to the beach to go for a swim, sunbathe and try surfing, paddle boarding or kayaking with the water sports school. There’s an excellent seafood restaurant right on the beach serving lunch and dinner, and a fun 18-hole mini golf course too. Wander 1 mile to Carbis Bay, which has a shop and seasonal cafe. There are pubs and shops from just over 300 metres from the apartment, and a great range of places to eat out nearby. St Ives is a haven for art lovers and is also home to more than 10 galleries.  As well as 4G WiFi provided at the apartment, a short walk away is a shared business workspace with cafe that is perfect for those remote working.

Great location and view. Clean and comfortable flat. Due to the location and depending on wind the seagulls can splatter the windows but they are easily cleaned from inside the property. This was important to me as I loved taking photos of the sunrises and ever-changing view out to Godrevy Lighthouse. Easy numbered parking space for this flat - besRead moret to reverse park as it's easy to get out that way. There's a shared launderette that used to be coin-operated but is now more straightforward with a card. We've stayed here a couple of times and look forward to coming again! Hide

We were very happy with this flat. Perfectly clean and well equipped (kitchen utensils etc). The information file gave us clear info about anything functional we needed to know. The heating worked well. The electric heaters worked very efficiently and speedily warmed the space. As our stay was early January, this had been a concern! Absolutely no pRead moreroblem. It kept us warmer than in our own house!!! The view of Porthminster beach is absolutely wonderful and, even in the winter weather, the changing colours of sky and sea were captivating. Storm Goretti happened during our stay. No problems for us in the flat but we were very impressed that the booking agency called us the morning after, to check that everything was ok. Great location for walking into St Ives centre and to all the beaches. We were very pleased to have an allocated parking space right outside the building. Thats a big plus. Hide

A fabulous apartment! Spotlessly clean and very well equipped throughout, down to hooks on the backs of doors, mirrors where you'd want them, plenty of coat hangers, bins in each room etc. Having a parking space was a huge bonus, and only a 10 minute walk to the shops/town/harbour. The station is even closer but no train noise at all. Note that it Read moreis all downhill into town or the station - meaning that it's all uphill back! The bed was really comfy and lots of storage in the bedroom. Finally, the best view ever from the lounge window! Hide

Great location and views of sunrise over Carbis Bay. We saw seals on several days from the apartment window. Handy for the bus station and train station but the walk to/from town might be a problem with limited mobility - either steep road or a couple of flights of steps to Carrack Widden. Good parking slot for this flat.

Lovely apartment, views you can die for, located 15 minutes walk to St Ives beach, some steep inclines to conquer to and from the beach, not for the infirm or disabled. Appartment has everything you need for your stay, looking a little dated in places but comfortable.
