Porthminster Apartment One
This is the view found only on postcards and movies, and to have it right at my fingertips was the treat of a lifetime. Light bright compact space with all I needed, and the blackout curtains were helpful. Even with the teaming summer hoardes shuffling by underneath, my space felt like private retreat. I even sang along to the evening buskers. Super clean and easy to access, the laundry was a bonus. I’m already planning a return trip. Perfect spot for solo female travelers.

Studio style apartment with beautiful views
Had an amazing weekend in st Ives thanks to Paul who sent instructions beforehand and upon arrival the place was immaculate. Beds were super comfy my 5 year old even slept in which is VERY unlike him🤣 Great location restaurants are 5⭐️ And the views from the apartment you could watch all day and the beaches are beautiful Would definitely recommend if your looking to book :)

Lapwing - Apartment with stunning harbour view.
perfect location, close enough to main area to make it accessible...but far enough away to keep it quiet. Janet responded promptly to every question and gave us great recommendations for pubs and food. Fabulous place, fabulous host

3a Sea View Place
This was the best place we stayed all holiday. The location is incredible, just steps from Bamaluz beach, with amazing views and the sound of the waves coming right into the house. We loved sitting on the balcony and watching all the dogs playing on the sand, and it was only ten minutes walk to all the main beaches in St Ives. The flat had everything we needed for a comfortable week’s stay. An absolutely perfect base for a beach holiday.

Ocean View Penthouse- Front Row Sea Views&Parking
The stay was great it was in a good location. It was a 5-10 minute walk down to the bus and train station and 10-15 in to town and restaurant. The place had what we needed for our stay. Emma also had a folder with all the information you need for our stay and helpful recommendations for things to do and places to eat. If you needed anything else Emma was just a message away and was very helpful. Will be back again

Ocean Breeze Porthtowan
What a find, was looking for somewhere to stay while attending a wedding and this apartment is amazing. After a long journey from Cambs, we found this lovely place has everything you need, great host, free parking, restaurants within a few minutes, cafe below you…yet a feeling of privacy within the apartment. We felt totally at home here, such a clean, tidy, comfortable and homely place, great neighbours and locals who are also very welcoming. We would recommend The Unicorn pub and Blue Bar for food and drink and friendliness, and for the morning the Beach Cafe below the apartments, great quality good value food. The beach is literally below you along with amazing walks, we experienced picture-postcard sunsets each night, couldn’t have asked for more. Mike the host is very professional and helpful, responding quickly to our questions and giving advice like a true local of the place! 10/10 on everything we experienced. Go see for yourself!

Praa Sands Beach 100m-Sea Views-Sunny Balcony
Lovely spot just a walk from the beach. The outdoor balcony space was welcomed when the sun was shining after a long day walking. We had everything we needed! Rachel was great with recommendations and quick to respond if we had any questions or needed anything

Architect's Studio Apartment - 150m from Beach!
Amazing location just above the beach, with a lovely view from the window. Had everything we needed for a short stay in St Ives - well equipped kitchen for cooking our own supper and an easy stroll to the restaurants in the centre of St Ives. As the photos make clear, the bed is a loft bed which may not be suitable for those who have some mobility issues or aren’t comfortable climbing up a steep ladder.

2022 Two Bedroom Cosy House In Central Hayle (5)
Comfortable, thoughtfully provisioned, spotlessly clean and modern fixtures. Couldn’t hope for any better. Thank you

Boutique Farmhouse & Log Fire Cabin
absolutely stunning place in the beautiful moorlands. Very private, close to the river and lots of horses, sheep a cows nearby. The garden is huge and the kids(and grownups) loved it. Great facilities, well equipped kitchen. Wendy was most helpful and very quick to respond. We might well make it an annual trip.

House by The Sea with THE View
As a family of 4 the property was ideal, it had all the amenities required for our 4 day stay. The property is stunning, so tastefully furnished and decorated, it is in a prime location with stunning sea views. Its location is great for strolling into Penzance and a short car journey to local sites, such as the Minack theatre, which is well worth a visit as well as St Ives. We were luckily enough to meet Lenn during our stay, he knows the area well and gave some great suggestions as well as being a great host, we found the property easily and followed Lenn’s instructions to a tee, we would recommend Lenn and Gord’s beautiful property, and was very sad to leave it to come home, a stunning find x

The Anchorage, Portmellon, Mevagissey
We had the most beautiful, peaceful and relaxing stay at The Anchorage. The location was superb, and the views from the house were my personal favorite part. I spent every spare minute in the sunroom looking at the ocean. There was plenty of space for us to all be comfortable and my children especially enjoyed the kids room with bunk beds! The town is beautiful and there are so many different beach options around to choose from. It is definitely a little stressful driving in the village (coming from from an American haha) but that aside it was a perfect end to our vacation and I plan on booking again (this time with some friends or maybe extended family to fill up the many bedrooms!)

Upper Deck @ Captain’s Retreat, Sea View & Parking
I can honestly say that this is one of the best AirB&Bs I've stopped in. It was perfect in every way - spotlessly clean, well-equipped with everything you could possibly need, spectacular views from the two small balconies, and ideally located for all the action around the harbour area. In terms of location it's on the hillside of West Looe, which affords fantastic views, but in terms of walking down to the harbour and back there are a lot of steps or sloping roads/footpaths, so be prepared for this (or drive down). I met Martin a few times and he was great to chat to, very friendly, and was able to recommend a few very good pubs. Overall I cannot recommend this property highly enough.

Luxury Home Near Surf Beach & Restaurants
We recently returned from an amazing three-night stay at this stunning home and cannot express enough how impressed we were. The décor is beautiful, with every detail in the home reflecting a high standard of quality. As a group of six, the house was perfect for us with it’s fabulous mix of comfortable/relaxing social spaces and split level bedrooms. We enjoyed relaxing in the beautiful living area with its gorgeous sea views and enjoyed leisurely breakfasts in the lovely dining/kitchen space. The house is incredibly well-equipped, offering everything we could need and more. Although we couldn't explore some of the recommended local restaurants due to being in the local area for a music festival, we wholeheartedly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area in search of a luxurious stay. Communication with Iveta before, during, and after our trip was excellent, providing all the necessary instructions that we needed. Overall, we had an amazing time in this beautiful home!

Beachside Home on SW coast path, Lizard Peninsula
we had a perfect week at Penlerick a beautiful cottage by the sea. it felt like being at home, and we loved this place. perfect setting above the beach, amazing views, sound of the waves was lovely. very comfy bed, everything we needed in the kitchen, lovely decor throughout. we will be back x

Family BeachHouse In Newlyn Town Opposite Beach
Staying at Emma’s place was a wonderful experience. The photos seen at the time of booking truly does not do the cottage justice. We felt it was so much more than we expected it to be and was truly pleasantly surprised. The views, the homeliness, comfort, decor and just the feeling when we stepped inside made us feel so warm and comfortable and the house was spotless, well-stocked with everything we needed. A huge plus point for us was having an electric car charger and something every Host needs to consider. Thank you Emma! Everything was just perfect. I cannot complete this review without mentioning that Emma, truly was a super Host! From the moment we confirmed our booking the communication and welcome received from Emma was very appreciated. She was very accommodating and provided great local tips, was always available to answer our questions with very quick responses. We will definitely return with our entire family next time! Thank you so much for a lovely stay !

Bolthole in central Penzance
Great location for a visit to Penzance and surrounding areas. The hosts could not have been more helpful and friendly. The home was perfect for a couple visiting for a short break with lots of nice restaurants and pubs rear by. I will definitely want to return.

The Old Gas Works on the Harbour
Jody and James were the perfect hosts ♥️ They were very responsive and went above and beyond with suggesting places to see and do. The flat exceeded our expectations and the location was accessible as it was only a few minutes walk from the train station, shops and beaches . It was clean, well supplied and nicely presented with well thought out interior decor. Definitely good value! Will definitely rent with Jody and James again if we get the chance to come back to Cornwall.

Balcony flat with views down the Penryn Estuary
Smashing wee place with great access for walks around the area or just exploring Penryn itself and especially handy for cafes, takeaways restaurants and good pubs. It was nice to return to somewhere I'd been before and see how it had improved since 1979!

Stylish 1 Bed Apartment in East Looe, Cornwall
A fabulous location overlooking the river/harbour. Gemma's is a really nice 2nd floor apartment on level ground at the start of the main street and only a 10 minute walk to the beach. If you're OK with the stairs I thoroughly recommend it.

Watch the sun rise - Penzance
It was such a lovely stay, very cozy yet spacious place. The view is great as well and we loved the patio for fresh air. Also close to all transport links saved so much time. And lastly Kerry was so quick to respond made it very easy to communicate, thank you!

Amazing views, 10% off 7 days stay & free parking
Very clean and comfortable apartment with amazing views, great location and easy to find. We loved our stay here and would definitely recommend!

Harbour front flat in the heart of Mevagissey
Mevagissey on the south Cornish coast was a little gem. A fishing harbour with huge tides, lots of shops, bakeries, and restaurants . The flat was compact clean and had good kitchen and laundry facilities. Perfect for a couple to explore the town or further afield. The ferry to Fowey was a highlight as was walking the harbour and streets. Location was a joy and we’d have no hesitation to recommend!

Lucky No. 13 Sunrise to Sunset Luxury Apartment
