Property code: OC-CRAB01

Sitting on The Warren, a pretty lane metres from the sea, this ground floor apartment is in an amazing position and has incredible views. Its quirky beach hut design is perfect for the location. With a double bedroom and a sofa bed in the lounge, and stylish open plan living space, it makes the ideal base for a couple or small family to have a wonderful holiday beside the sea.

The property’s style and character make it a unique place to stay, with stylish wood panelling and sophisticated colours. There’s a gorgeous lounge/kitchen/diner where you can cook great meals, enjoy them together at the dining table, relax and watch TV or soak up the views from the sofa (a sofa bed if needed) and window seat. The apartment has a shower room and a lovely light double bedroom where you’ll get a good night’s sleep. For outside space you can perch on the wall opposite the flat, pull up a bench on the headland or while away the evening in a beer garden.

St Ives has four fantastic beaches: Porthmeor, Porthgwidden, Harbour beach and Porthminster. The Warren is just over 150 metres from Porthminster, all four are nearby and have golden sands. Porthmeor tends to be the most popular with surfers and Harbour beach probably the family favourite. Art lovers will enjoy the Tate Gallery (0.5 miles), exhibiting work by British artists with links to the area, and Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden (just under 500 metres). St Ives hosts lots of exciting events, including the St Ives Food & Drink Festival in May and a Music & Arts Festival in September. There are plenty of great shops, pubs, cafes, bars, and restaurants to keep you busy all year.

We had a lovely stay here and the view was amazing!! The apartment was very clean and cosy however there is no parking close by and the lanes are extremely narrow, the shower pressure was terrible and the tv had no signal.

Beach Hut is a lovely flat overlooking St Ives harbour and St Ives Bay. I did find the bathroom a bit compact, especially with the proximity of the loo to the Louvre doors which might make it a tight fit for some. As I am quite petite I managed ok. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. I would stay there again especially as itRead more has wonderful views and is convenient for accessing the beaches and the town. Hide

Lovely location with great views but still close to town and transport. Really convenient parking with the station car park close by, you could travel here by car or train quite easily. Definitely worth a stay there are so many great places to go out for food and drinks, beaches all within 5 minutes walk.

I love this flat and have stayed in it many times. The view is amazing, and it's peaceful, cosy and bright. lovely comfortable new bed, and new cushions, pretty table mats and a great TV and kettle, homely mugs and even a radio. It was my 20th year of coming here and the owners had left me a nice card, flowers and chocolates. Wow, and thank you !

The amazing sea and harbour views make this a wonderful place to stay. There was some noise from guests moving around in the apartment above but the location was perfect for us.
