There’s something endlessly relaxing about watching waves ebb and flow on the shoreline. And this home, located right on Porthmeor beach, provides the perfect setting to sit back and enjoy uninterrupted views across the Cornish coastline. Set across two floors, the owners have styled this apartment to feel like a seaside sanctuary. From the soft blue tones and cosy furnishings to the art-lined walls and personal touches, every detail inspires a wonderful sense of welcome. Upstairs, you’ll find the snug mezzanine level bedroom sets the tone for a relaxing stay, while the downstairs kitchen has everything you could need to enjoy the comforts of home. From the light-filled living room, you can access a private balcony – perfect for embracing the fresh sea air with a quiet morning coffee or later with sunset drinks. Stepping outside, you’ll find the bustling harbour of St Ives is just a short walk away. Wander the pretty streets, be inspired by local artists, brave a dip in the sea and sample one of the award-winning restaurants. Wherever the day takes you, this home provides a wonderful space to retreat and savour the simple pleasures of coastal living.
