Holiday rentals with beach access in Praa Sands

The Penthouse gives fantastic views over St Ives harbour from both the main window in the lounge and from the bedroom. It’s light and spacious for two people. Access is easy and takes you right out onto Fore Street with a wealth of cafés, restaurants and shops. Street noise was not a problem for us as it quietens down later and it’s just hustle and bustle. The Penthouse is set at the top of the building and there is plenty of seagull noise as you would expect being right next to the sea. I would recommend this place as it’s such a fab location, right in the heart of things and a great space.

Alison's kind hospitality & welcoming was excellent & the accommodation was stunning & immaculate. If you like a quiet location it's ideal but travelling across Cornwall is no problem as main rd's are accessible from Helston. Alison gave us some good recommendations for restaurants which we tried & were delighted with.

We had a fantastic stay at Sea Salt this week. A beautiful apartment in a great location, perfect for couples. So clean and comfortable. Anna’s instructions and restaurant recommendation were fantastic. Would love to visit again in the future.

We had a wonderful time staying in this flat. It has the most beautiful and spectacular views of the sea. The flat was very clean, comfortable and cosy. Breakfast and drinks on the balcony overlooking the beach below was a delight. We would highly recommend Janette’s flat and hope to return for another stay!

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

As soon as we walked through that door we could see the beautiful sea and we were just in awe of the place. The location is 10/10, the apartment is stunning and so quiet and we didn’t really notice that we had neighbours which was lovely and made it feel private which is what we look for in a place. Cornwall as whole as well is just stunning and we HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone looking at it. We have found a special place and we will hopefully come back again and again. This is our happy place. We were so sad to leave as we had such a beautiful holiday. A lot of special memories made. The parking was very good, covered and easy to use, self check in is favourable, the checking in and out time is reasonable and the communication was very good. The train is so useful and we actually enjoyed watching that go by, the walking is amazing, the beach is beautiful, the views from the window and patio are amazing. The sofas and bed are very comfortable which is rare. Thank you so much.

My wife and I had a marvelous one week stay in this cosy and tranquil condo with panoramic views of gorgeous Carbis Bay and easy access to public transport, including the local rail service that runs between St Ives and St Erth just five minutes walk downhill. Spotlessly clean and well provisioned, with a huge light filled kitchen featuring newer appliances, and one of the bathrooms conveniently located downstairs. It was such a pleasure staying in a place reflecting pride of ownership and professional management, creating a thoroughly enjoyable guest experience. The master bedroom mattress was a bit too soft for us, but we seem to be the outliers based on reviews. Highly recommend.

The place is exactly as described. It is within walking distance of train station, shops and pubs. Extra nice touch of leaving a note and use of cushions and blanket for our trip to the Minack theatre, which was perfect. Also contacted us post departure as had left a charger behind which is being posted to us.

We borrowed buckets and spades (and trucks and diggers) from the collection in the shed and took the short walk down to the lovely sandy beach most days. My granddaughter had heaps of fun playing in the shallow pools and golden sand in the sun. There were bodyboards too, but she's a little little for that just yet. Nanny was usually to be found observing us from the comfort of the Cove Cafe and admiring the wonderful vista - St Ives Bay in the sunshine (which is also the view from the house itself). The bravest of us swam in the chilly sea and returned invigorated, eyes sparkling. Suki charged about with energy and enthusiasm, greeting every other dog on the beach. We highly recommend this place. Notes: It's a flat beach, so the sea is very close a high tide and a long way off at low tide. Eating out in Cornwall is expensive. The house has a well-equipped kitchen and there is a Lidl and M&S Food Hall nearby if you are minded to eat in. The train St Erth<->St Ives is a nice option.

Probably the nicest place we have ever stayed! Deserves more than 5 stars. The location couldn't be better to get straight out to lots of beaches, bars etc. St Ives streets are small and traffic is restricted 930am to 4pm on the street but outside these times we found it easy to unload then booked a parking space 10 mins walk away on JustPark. The view has to be seen, it's even better than it looks... when people stop at the balcony for a picture you know it's the perfect spot - and we helped take a couple of pictures for them from above! The best thing was having a nice glass of wine on the armchairs with the windows open and listening to the waves and watching the change in tides. Spa bathroom was unreal as was everything really. Already looking at dates to come back! We also enjoyed Johns Wine Bar, The Host (had great live music), Mor Beach Cafe for morning rolls and James King for beautiful St Ives jewellery. Thanks again David we loved it all!

Our stay with Amanda was absolutely fabulous. The house is very stylish indeed, friendly and we felt immediately at home. This was also easy thanks to the treat of scones and clotted cream by our hosts. Especially our little patio and the garten room were great! We explored the fab pub close by and we had lovely walks at the beautiful and stunning coast. We wholeheartedly recommend the place and hopefully will be back in future.

Just a perfect week despite the mixed weather. A week of relaxation in beautiful surroundings. Just what we needed

A historic stone row home, with a light filled living room addition, and private and sunny outdoor area. Steep walk down to the last unit, which is slippery when wet. There is a leafy wooded pathway down to the Petersville Inn, with another spur towards the beach which accesses a cliff trail.

Excellent location and lovely home, very tidy. As from NZ didn’t understand the “knack” with locking the door🫣, this was handled extremely quickly and professionally, and we liked it so much we asked for an extra night. Once again our request was handled quickly and easily. Lovely place Danielle very enjoyable couple of days

We were a family of 3 with a small dog. Plenty of garden to play in and was fully secure. Location was brilliant, we caught the train to most beaches which are all less than 11 minutes away.

This was a last-minute break, and worked so well for us. Beautiful location- it was lovely to drink coffee in the morning outside, overlooking the sea. Such a peaceful place, and close to lots of lovely places to visit. Charlotte's information was really comprehensive- lots of recommendations for food etc.

Just arrived back from a short stay in Mitch’s place . Great location , close to all amenities , restaurants , bars , lido etc . In fact your right in the middle of town but doesn’t feel like it as the place is so quiet and peaceful. Place was spotlessly clean . Outside area was a bonus for sitting out reading on sunny days ! Mitch is the perfect host , friendly and very responsive . Met us on arrival showing us where to park the car , where we left it for the duration of the time we were there , as every thing is within walking distance ! Would definitely visit again ! Thankyou for your hospitality Mitch ! Love your garden !

So nice to arrive after a long journey to find the water hot with excellent shower facilities, a welcoming comfortable bed with good quality bedding. We were told it was dog friendly, so we were appreciative to find bowls, towel etc., should you forget. The location was ideal for exploring the North Coast and we made full use of our NT membership. Wonderful dog friendly beaches and eating establishments very accomodating. we particularly enjoyed Godrevy and Holywell Coves. ''Tap House'' in St Agnes is a must , great food reasonably priced , but make sure you book and allow time for parking.

comfortable stay with awesome view. overall stay 4.5 stars. Really hard to get a parking spot on the street.

Rachel was very friendly & accommodating. Her information pack had some good recommendations. Rachel had left some goodies on arrival which made you feel very welcome. Rachel also communicated all information leading up to us arriving so we had no issues when we got to the property. We had a really relaxing, enjoyable time.

Great stay and nice hosts. very responsive and accommodative.

We love this apartment (it’s the fourth time we’ve stayed there which speaks for itself!). There are great views from the apartment and the location is fantastic for access to the beach, coast path and the Minack. The apartment is well kitted out and finished to a good standard. Mel and Martin are great hosts - very responsive and clear / helpful instructions.

Lovely relaxing break It’s difficult to add anything new to the already fabulous reviews. Beth and Mark made our stay exceptional, their warmth, knowledge and hospitality were in a class of their own. The apartment is just gorgeous, situated in a picturesque spot, overlooking the beach, with beautiful gardens and plants. It is stylish, fresh, clean, comfortable and very homely and they have thought of everything, we really didn’t want for anything. We really hope to have the opportunity to visit and stay again. Thank you. Forgot to say it was my wife’s big birthday and she loved it, so thank you, I’m in the good books again. Best AirBnB I’ve ever stayed in.

Just back from a wonderful week at Sharon and Bill’s lovely apartment. A fabulous place to stay and the perfect place to come back to after a day exploring. Decorated and furnished to a high standard with everything you could need. The parking was full when we arrived but we were able to unload the car and then park in the long stay car park just across the road. (£14 for 24 hours). Once a space became available we were able to park and leave the car there for most of the week as the buses run regularly with a bus stop very close by. A very relaxing week and we definitely hope to visit again.
