Beach Haven, St Ives - Sea views from the ground and first floor

Beach Haven sits in an enviable position in St Ives with stunning views through floor to ceiling windows across to The Island, Porthmeor Beach, Godrevy Lighthouse and along the north Cornish coast. This really is a holiday home by the sea! Surfing at Porthmeor Beach and the vibrant St Ives harbour and Tate Gallery is only a 5-minute walk. Turn left out of the door and you are on the South West Coastpath within 2 minutes.

Entered through a sunny private courtyard, perfect for morning coffee or breakfast.

Contemporary decor where your comfort and enjoyment of Beach Haven is our primary concern, from the moment you arrive to the last day of your stay we want it to be perfect in every way.

Wander to the local deli and grab some yummy local produce to create a fabulous meal in our fully equipped kitchen or be spoilt for choice by the excellent local restaurants, everything from perfectly slow roasted coffee, fresh fish & chips to a gourmet meal. St Ives has so many wonderful places to eat you really will be spoilt for choice.

A sumptuous master bedroom complete with sea views is the perfect place to wake after a relaxing night sleep. The twin overlooks the sunny private courtyard.

Our gorgeous bathroom with rainwater double shower, freestanding bath and limestone floors is the perfect place to relax and unwind as you start your holiday.

A private parking space at the front of the property means you can happily explore Cornwall and know you have guaranteed parking on return.

What a charming and well-appointed home. Wonderful views of the sea and Porthmeor Beach. The house has everything you need and is looked after to the highest standards. We have some mobility issues and Rachel checked with us before booking to ensure the house was suitable for us. We stayed at Christmas and New Year and the welcome basket was most generous. Wonderful to wake up to views of the ocean.

The house was very comfortable, nicely decorated and had great views out of the back. The area was quiet but still close to a great beach and an easy 10-15 minute downhill walk to the town. The scones and cream waiting for us as we arrived was a nice touch. The host was also accommodating when we asked for an earlier check in as our train arrived very early in the morning, they let us know when the cleaning was finished so we could get in a bit earlier than the posted 3pm check in.

New Year celebrations

From start to finish, very easy check in with great communication, upon arrival milk, scones, clotted cream and jam provid. Everything that you need is in the apartment, looks like it's been refurbished not so long ago, off road parking. Just the perfect stay with a sea view. Highly recommend this place.

We loved our stay in St Ives. The house was perfect for our family of four, and was well-equipped with everything we needed. There were lovely touches, like the welcome Cornish Cream Tea and milk, plus coffee pods for the machine! The addition of games and books was a plus too. Host Rachel was super-helpful and provided lots of useful information.

Wonderful Stay at Beach Haven

Beach Haven is a lovely property in a quiet area about 10 minutes from Porthmeor beach (NB it takes longer to walk back as it's up a steep hill). Arrived to find a cream tea and milk in the fridge. Had a wonderful time. Thank you.

St Ives Gem

The house has all the practicalities of a modern residential setting with lots of added sea side charm - a sea view and only minutes from the stunning coastal path and a fabulous array of restaurants with stunning views. All this and a parking space. Really helpful and speedy response from the owner too.

Perfect Family Getaway at Beach Haven: Immaculate Property with Stunning Views

We had a wonderful time at Beach Haven in April. The property was spotless and thoughtfully equipped, offering plenty of space for our family of four. It was tastefully decorated and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was ideal, just a short stroll from Porthmeor Beach and central St Ives, with stunning views of the beach from the property. The kids fully embraced the natural activities available along the coastline, keeping them entertained throughout our stay. The host was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall, it was a memorable experience, and we highly recommend Beach Haven for families seeking a relaxing or adventure-filled getaway.

Everything we needed

Recently stayed at Beach Haven with my wife and 7 month old baby. The house was spotless and had absolutely everything you’d ever want - every kitchen appliance, a travel cot and even a BBQ. Shower was big, powerful and perfect after a day at the beach. The location was unreal! Amazing views and walking distance to everything. Rachel was a fantastic host and answered any questions I had - nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend to friends and family, and we’ll no doubt be back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Das Haus macht einen sehr hübschen Eindruck. Wir wurden mit scones und tee und Kaffee empfangen. Wir fanden alles in der Küche. Die Lage und die Aussicht vom Haus aus sind grandios. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Lediglich die Betten sind instabil und die Matratzen durchgelegen. Sonst gibt es aber nichts zu beanstanden. St. Ives ist unter eine Reise wert. Sehr zu empfehlen.

My family and I had a lovely break in Beach Haven, St Ives. There are super views across Porthmeor beach from the front, it's a 5 minute walk down the hill to the Tate Modern & Porthmeor; and a 12 minutes walk into the main centre and harbour area. The house is compact, clean, very well equipped, and perfect for a comfortable getaway. Thanks so much - we'll be back!

About the host

Hosted by Rachel

Host profile image
A family of five we wanted to provide a welcoming home for our guests to enjoy St Ives. Our children grew up on the beaches of St Ives and we visit as often as we can having lived there for several years.

Why they chose this property

St Ives is the most beautiful town which is famous for attracting artists due to the unique quality of light. We fell in love with St Ives many years ago and feel very privileged to own Beach Haven. We love to share our home with our guests so that they too can stay in high quality accommodation with a fabulous view in this very special and unique location in beautiful Cornwall.

What makes this property unique

The views are fabulous, whether you sit on the sofa in the living room with its floor to ceiling glass wall which takes in the views over the sea, beach and island or if you wake up in the morning, open the wooden blinds and take in the view from the master bedroom. It wasn't until we finished renovating Beach Haven and sat on the sofa for the first time that we appreciated exactly how fabulous the views are! We also have a private parking space at the front of the house which is a real bonus for St Ives.
