Spacious house with amazing view 9
The house is very well equiped, two dishwashers! Lost of dishes and cutlery. Great for more than one family with domnstairs room with kitchen and big table and upstairs sitting room with lots of couches. If the sun is out you can sit on the terrace with lots of people and look out over the sea. The house has an amazing seaview and is located in a dead end street. This means it is relatively quiet in the busy summerweeks of st ives, walk down the road and your at the beach. A bit further and you'r right in the old towncentre.

Excellent stay for a one week vacation. Very good equipped although one additional fridge would have been a great add on for 12 people.

Great place for families
Large house. We were a family of 7 and 2 dogs. Plenty of indoor space. Car parking Is important in st ives and we could fit 4 cars. Great location. Well equipped with the exception of the TV which was not internet enabled so no ability to steam films.

Perfect holiday house for large families
Perfect location next to beach and perfect setup for 6 adults and 4 children. House has been very tastefully modernised with the unusual benefit for St Ives of having 4 car spaces.
