Beach house vacation rentals in St Ives

Wow - what an amazing place to stay! This is probably the most memorable AirBnB I have stayed in so far. You are right on the edge of the seafront and by the harbour, with the double aspect living room enabling you to see both - the sea views are just stunning. Margaret was a really friendly and communicative host, and the parking space is good. I would heartily recommend this as a great place to stay; it is just so special being able to look out and see the sea from bed, and to hear the waves lapping at the shore as you go to sleep or make your cup of tea in the morning.

Before we had checked out, we had reserved for next year. A superb property, in a beautiful, quiet location, but is just 10 minutes walk away from bars and restaurants. 1 minute walk from a beach, next door to an historic ancient church and absolutely idyllic. Highly recommended.

Fantastic place to stay. We came as family with a toddler as well grandparents and both families dogs and it was perfect for us. Easy to get to the beach and costal path. Stunning views. Great location for seeing things - loved getting the train from st. Erth to st. ives. The house itself was super practical. Loved the outside shower and cleaning facilities for us and the dogs after getting sandy on the beach. Lots of books that our toddler loved reading and playing with the toys. Just great. Richard was an amazing host and really accommodating to our needs. A very special holiday.

This place is a real gem and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for beautiful views, peace and serenity. It's within a short walk of amazing beaches and close to all local amenities that you need. St. Ives is easily accessible and we used it as a base for many other Cornish locations - Penzance, Land's End and Falmouth were an easy drive away. The property itself, aside from being in a great location, was very well equipped, spotlessly clean and had all amenities that were advertised and the pictures in the listing were accurate and recent. Karen was a great host, very responsive and left a number of goodies in the kitchen to welcome us, which was an extra special touch that we didn't expect. We stayed for 7 nights and could easily have stayed longer.

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

A gorgeous house within walking distance of Hayle beach. The house was brilliantly appointed and was very comfortable. Gorgeous views over the estuary enhanced our stay. Annie was a great host - very responsive and informative.

Beautiful place! Would 100% stay again! We requested decorations to be put up for arrival as it was my mams 50th birthday. We sent decorations but they weren’t put up when we arrived. We spoke with Malcolm about this and he came straight over the next morning to do this while we were out and left some beautiful cupcakes, helped us rectify the heating as it was very hot, and was available at all times when we needed! Beautiful place! Very local to lots of shops and very close to the train station: beautiful views!

We had a wonderful stay. The house is in a great location for the surf beach, the harbour and the town. Everything was spotless and there some helpful home comforts added. The house is also very peaceful and quiet. We will definitely stay here again.

Great place to stay. Very short walk to the pool, across a very quiete car park. The beach is a walk away, just down a hill cross one road and you are there, nearly a stones throw. Kayaking, body boarding, stand up paddle boards for hire, all there.

The house was a lovely, quiet, comfortable, place for my whole family to stay for a long weekend. Well situated and equipped for all of us and contributed to a very pleasant trip.

We had a great stay! The place is in a really peaceful area and really close to parking, which made getting into St Ives nice and easy. It was perfect for a relaxed trip with friends. Sarah was helpful and communicative in the lead-up to our stay, which made everything smooth. Would definitely come back!

Family of 5, (4 adults 1 child) stayed may halfterm. Location is great. 5 minutes drive from Porth beach and 10 minutes from Newquay town centre. Caravan was lovely and clean, looked just as the photos shown. Very good price! Would definitely return!

We’re so glad we chose to stay at Halula Beach House for my hen do weekend, it was the perfect pad! Pool, hot tub, silent disco, huge table we could all sit round… and just a few minutes walk to the gorgeous beach. Would highly recommend it!

An amazing stay! Very friendly and responsive host. I will definitely be recommending and looking to book again in the future. A little hidden beauty. Thank you again!

We loved our family stay at William’s place! It was loaded with all the amenities that we needed. The kitchen was very well stocked. The heated pool was a great addition when the ocean was cold. The location was amazing…walk into town or take the Ferry across to Padstow for lots of great shopping and eateries. We would definitely stay there again.

We had a wonderful time at Jenny’s place. The location of the house is lovely, and the balcony really allows you to make the most of the beautiful views. The space itself is very homely, with a good amount of space. We would highly recommend staying with Jenny!

Corri’s cottage is fabulous, beautifully decorated with comfortable sofas and beds. Kitchen was kitted out with everything we needed to cook on the few evenings we didn’t eat out. Lovely garden with sofas/chairs to lounge on which we did get to enjoy despite some mixed weather. Mousehole is a perfect place to set off on some stunning costal walks which is what we spent our week doing. We also enjoyed dinner at 2 Fore Street, Mackerel Sky & the Tolcarne Inn.

Excellent location and a tranquil setting. Property was excatly as described and the views were stunning. Easy walk down to Porthminster beach and into St Ives. Highly recommended and we would stay here again without hesitation.

Wonderful house, perfect place for a holiday at st Ives

Staying at Camilla's home in Mousehole was an absolute joy. The house is beautiful, very well equipped, stylish and comfortable and, situated at the top end of the town, the sea views from every single window are simply stunning, it was amazing! Camilla left a welcome pack of a few essentials that was very welcome, was always responsive and helpful and check in and out were very easy. We parked on a road at the top of the town and carried our luggage down to avoid taking the car through the narrow streets, an option if you're happy with the walk back up the hill to the car. We had visited Mousehole on a daytrip before, but staying in the town was a really special experience. We definitely hope to return.

Without a doubt the best place we have stayed through Airbnb! The most perfect house in the heart of Newlyn. The views from house are perfect- quite literally opposite the harbour. The house is very beautiful. You can walk into the centre of Newlyn within 5 minutes, Penzance in 30 mins and Mousehole in around 35mins so it’s the ideal location. St Ives and local beaches are within a 20 - 30 minute drive too, so lots to see and do! Lots of places to eat that are very very local too which is handy. Highly recommend Mackrel seafood bar in Newlyn. Rosie left us lots of recommendations of places to go and eat which was really helpful too. The perfect stay, thank you!

Lovely house with beautiful view over Carbis bay the house was pristine and plenty of cooking utensils very comfy living room and bedrooms. Any issues were resolved instantly thank you

My husband, myself and our dog had a fantastic holiday staying at Thimble Cottage. The cottage is beautiful with all the amenities we needed for a relaxing stay. Its location is perfect for local walks and exploring and there is a lovely pub two doors down with extremely friendly staff and good food. Places like St Ives were just a short drive away. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring such a beautiful part of Cornwall and would happily stay here again.

The house was so nice. Check in was so easy! Perfect directions were given. Everything was really clean. Especially the towels and bedding. They were like new / hotel like! We had seagulls nesting on the roof and could watch the babies hatching through the skylight which was incredible. We loved watching the surfers through the binoculars from the top floor. All the kitchen was really well equipped. The showers are amazing. Particularly loved the hose outside the front door to rinse away the sand. Only downside was that we have a big car and the carport is quite tight if there is another car in there. The nearby carpark is also always full. We had to drop the bags and park at the rugby club on our first night then coordinated with next door to move cars so we could squeeze in. We had a day of rain and couldn’t get the heating to work to dry stuff but it wasn’t really an issue as it was sunny the next day. Love the decor and furniture. Really enjoyed our stay here. Thank
