Once inside, the central hallway offers a calm welcome, with ample storage and seating before leading through to the bedrooms, bathrooms and spacious open plan living area.
The striking interior design and stunning sea view backdrop set this holiday home apart, creating an elegant coastal retreat where guests can relax on comfortable sofas, enjoy a favourite film on the 49 inch TV, catch up with friends or simply watch the ebb and flow of life above St Ives.
The smart dining table is perfectly framed within the bay window, making every meal feel special, whether dressed for a celebration, kept relaxed for sunny breakfasts or used for slow morning coffees with the sea in sight.
The kitchen has been thoughtfully equipped with high-quality appliances and everything needed to create an indulgent holiday menu with a Cornish twist.
The bedrooms and bathrooms are equally considered, with super king-size beds, the finest luxury linens and individual colour palettes ranging from ocean blues to warm yellows and golds.
Contemporary bathrooms complete the experience, offering the perfect place for a little post-beach pamper after days spent exploring St Ives and the surrounding coast.

Beach lovers will be spoilt for choice, with the white sands and crystal-clear waters of Porthminster Beach just a short five-minute walk away, while Porthmeor and Porthgwidden offer surf, sheltered coves and yet more beautiful places to unwind by the water.
Day trips from St Ives are effortlessly rewarding, with the wild beauty of West Cornwall close at hand, from traditional rural villages and dramatic coast roads to the iconic landscape of Land’s End.
