  • Astonishing views of St Ives Harbour and out over the bay
  • Waterside location and a stone’s throw from the town’s bars and restaurants
  • Smart, compact apartment flooded with light – a seaside gem

Property code: OC-CRAB03

Relax and unwind with your other half at this stylish second-floor apartment in a sweet cottage on The Warren just metres from the beach and everything in town. It has awe-inspiring sea views from the living room, a lovely, double bedroom and is perfectly placed for visiting St Ives’ beaches, shops, and restaurants on a romantic seaside holiday.

Nautical prints and patterns create a coastal chic style and a very comfortable place to stay. Switch off and watch TV or an old movie in the open plan lounge/kitchen/diner, cook tasty meals in, and sit and watch the sun go down from the wall of windows with unrivalled views of the coast and harbour. The double bedroom is lovely and light and has plenty of wardrobe space. There’s also a smart en-suite shower room with a large step-in shower. Due to its position there’s no private garden but you can eat your fish and chips sitting on the beach wall or pop to a beer garden then snuggle up at home in your cosy retreat.

St Ives is home to a great range of pubs, shops, cafes, and bars and restaurants with cuisines of all types. Fresh fish is a speciality, and you can watch the latest catch being brought in to the harbour. Book a boat trip to explore the local waters and take in Seal Island and Godrevy Lighthouse or go mackerel fishing. Spend a lazy day on one of St Ives’ beaches, the nearest is just over 150 metres away, rock pooling and sunbathing or get out on a surf board or paddleboard for fun. Visit the Tate Gallery (0.5 miles) to explore its modern works or one of the other many local art galleries.

We were absolutely thrilled with our little nest for a week in May. Close to all amenities and the beautiful beaches. Whether day or night the views from the windows were breath taking. Well worth having a look in the darkest hrs of the night to see the white shadows (seagulls)flying low over the sea and beaches. Equipment and furniture good qualRead moreity and well presented. One downside is you cant park outside but the best carpark to use is the train station one. We will travel lighter on our next visit to this little haven x thankyou so much Hide

We had a lovely week in this property, we would hope to stay there again , the only thing to think about is if you can manage the 2 sets of stairs as they are quite steep for anyone with mobility issues. Otherwise it was 10/10

Fabulous view, come sun or windy weather and rough sea. A little bit noisy with the flat roof in very heavy rain.
