St Ives Bay Penthouse

A perfect penthouse! Arrive into a welcoming hallway that leads through to the wow-factor interiors of this very stylish coastal pad. Creative, characterful and beautifully considered, St Ives Bay Penthouse blends luxury seaside living with a playful artistic edge, creating a memorable holiday home high above the bay.

The open-plan kitchen, dining and living space is wonderfully relaxed, with a sea-view backdrop that instantly sets the tone for your stay. Designed with comfort and style in mind, it offers more than enough room for 4 guests to settle in and enjoy the ‘high life’. A large bespoke curved sofa is perfectly placed for gazing out to sea in every season, whether you’re cosying up for winter weekends, watching the weather roll across the bay or soaking up the coastal calm on long summer days.

The dining area brings another beautiful design detail, with a large hand-painted wooden table offering ample space to dine in style with friends and family. Whether you’re enjoying fresh pastries before a beach day, a leisurely supper after exploring St Ives, or a celebratory meal with a view, this sociable space makes every moment feel special.

To the rear of the living space, the shipshape kitchen has everything you need for easy holiday living. Well equipped and thoughtfully laid out, it is ideal for preparing relaxed breakfasts, beach picnics and evening meals. The beautiful dark wood bar with high stools adds a touch of boutique glamour, setting the scene for cocktails, canapés and relaxed conversation before heading out into town.

On the ground floor is the first of the 2 bedrooms, a calming double-bedded room with a handcrafted bed and a deep window sill where you can sit and enjoy the sea view. Peaceful and beautifully styled, it offers a restful retreat after days spent walking the coast, browsing galleries or swimming from the beach below. Located just next to this bedroom is a beautiful family bathroom, finished with chic contemporary fittings and a fresh, elegant feel.

From the hallway, climb the wooden stairs to the deck of the double primary bedroom, a truly imaginative space with a distinctive nautical theme. Evoking a life at sea, this lofty bedroom features traditional teak locker-style storage, porthole-style bedside lamps and even a bowsprit wardrobe, bringing charm, creativity and a sense of fun to the luxurious design.

Wake to the light over the water, check the sea state from your bed and enjoy the wonderful sense of space from this elevated vantage point. A smart ensuite completes the primary bedroom, adding privacy and comfort to this indulgent top-floor retreat.

With its split-level layout, bespoke interiors and unforgettable views, St Ives Bay Penthouse is a superb choice for couples, friends or a small family looking for something truly special in the heart of St Ives.

Slide back the double doors to reveal your elevated decked balcony, jutting out towards the sea and perfectly placed for soaking up the St Ives scenery. A dining table and 4 chairs invite slow breakfasts, sunny lunches and sunset drinks, with views that shift beautifully throughout the day. From the primary bedroom, step out onto a private balcony and enjoy one of the best vantage points in town, looking across the harbour, bay and coastline beyond.

The cosmopolitan buzz of St Ives is moments from your holiday door. Wander into town for supper beside the harbour, browse independent shops and boutiques, or spend a lazy afternoon exploring the town’s celebrated creative scene. Tate St Ives sits above Porthmeor Beach, while the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden offers a fascinating glimpse into one of the town’s most iconic artistic legacies. Smaller galleries, working studios and potteries are tucked throughout the cobbled streets, making St Ives a joy to explore at a gentle pace.

Beach days are effortless here, with Porthminster Beach just below and the harbour, Porthmeor, Porthgwidden and Bamaluz all within easy reach. Swim in clear blue water, book a surf lesson on Porthmeor, join a boat trip around the bay, try a fishing trip, or simply find a spot on the quay and watch the boats drift in and out with the tide.

Food lovers will be spoilt for choice. Enjoy a memorable meal at Porthminster Beach Café, relaxed dining and cocktails at Porthmeor Beach Café, or seafood, small plates and harbourfront suppers in the heart of town. St Ives is also perfect for easy holiday treats, from morning coffee and fresh pastries to Cornish ice cream, traditional pasties and fish and chips enjoyed by the water.

With your car parked nearby, day trips around Cornwall are easy to enjoy. Follow the north coast towards Godrevy, Gwithian and Hayle for dramatic cliffs, surf beaches and wide open sands, or head west towards Zennor, Porthcurno and Land’s End for rugged scenery and unforgettable coastal walks. The south coast brings a gentler beauty, with picture-perfect coves, fishing villages, subtropical gardens and harbours waiting to be discovered.

Style, luxury and comfort combine at St Ives Bay Penthouse, making this enviable coastal retreat the perfect choice for a memorable holiday above one of Cornwall’s most iconic seaside towns.
