Beach Haven, St Ives

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.

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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beautifully appointed house. Great location and really appreciated the space. Very well equipped and everything was clearly explained as to how to operate tv, washing machine and dishwasher. Just wondered where the microwave and dryer were but not a real problem. Such a lovely place for our holiday. We had a great time there. 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.

Clean, cosy and well positioned
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!

Fabulous Views in St Ives
Great location close to the beaches and all that St Ives has to offer. The house is very comfortable, really great kitchen with everything we needed. Parking space great bonus. Quietest place I’ve ever stayed, even the birds didn’t wake us. We particularly loved the sea view all the way up the coast, amazing! Nice sun trap in the patio with great shelter from the wind. We really enjoyed our stay. Would 100% recommend and hope to stay again. Rachel was very helpful with any questions we had.

A clean and comfortable house in a great location
Our family of four stayed here for two weeks in August and we had a brilliant time. The house is nice and clean and has all the amenities you need including an excellent coffee maker! Rachel couldn't have done anymore for us; she even organised a bed linen change after week one. Many thanks for looking after us during our stay Rachel; we will definitely be back one day soon.

We loved it here. The house was modern and clean, with a nice welcome gift. There's everything you could need, including a shed full of body boards and wind breaks. It's well stocked with books if you don't want to bring your own, and the view is amazing. Great communications from Rachel. A fantastic holiday in wonderful St Ives.

The place was simply lovely and quite central. St Ives and Cornwall are a gem. The property is very clean and tastefully furnished with all the necessary amenities. Beds very comfortable. Huge TV. Welcome pack was well appreciated especially the scones which included clotted cream strawberry conserve and butter! Thanks Rachel for your extra touch and prompt replies. We loved every minute and would recommend it to anyone!

Spacious, clean and comfortable
The location of the property is up a steep hill from the town of St Ives. At first this was intimidating ,but we adjusted to it quite well and enjoyed our morning walk into town for shopping and coffee etc. We enjoyed the visits to the bakery and butchers. Very friendly service and excellent quality products. St Ives is ideally located to the coastal pathway which is a highlight experience for any outdoor enthusiast and walker. Parking can be a problem as there is no assigned parking for this property, although there are a number of parking spaces available on a first come first serve basis and we did manage to get a spot each time we needed one. There are stairs to the 2 bedrooms that may present difficulty to some. Would recommend a stay to our friends.
