Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Saint Ives Bay

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.

We had a lovely holiday at Tara’s studio. Everything was perfect. I booked a place with outside space but didn’t get to use it very much because we didn’t have the best weather. It was a great base for visiting other parts of Cornwall. We went to Padstow, Newquay, Falmouth, Carbis Bay and St Ives. We would stay here again. Thank you Tara for the scones jam and cream, they were delicious.

A peaceful, beautifully furnished house. Tucked away on a quiet street in a scenic part of Cornwall. Even though it’s set back from busy areas, there are supermarkets in walking distance and the walk to the beach takes you through the local estuary and lots of nature, so it was very doable without a car. Laura sent clear instructions and was friendly and responsive. Travelling solo (and not the most confident traveller ever, with specific access needs and noise sensitivity) I felt at home, safe and comfortable. The house is also thoughtfully stocked with everything you might need for a stay, so felt akin to being at home.

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

Absolutely loved our stay at Dans place, anything we needed him and Gary were super responsive and helpful! Would highly recommend!

Thanks for a great stay! The place was lovely and the scones were a great touch!

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

really enjoyed our stay, very well equipped

We absolutely loved our stay at Tom’s . Beautiful flat with a beautiful garden & views . Tom was helpful and informative & the cream tea was a welcome treat after a 4 hour drive . I Would return here every weekend if I could !! Thank you so much for everything ☺️

We stayed for four nights and it’s was an amazing stay. The flat was comfortable and very clean with everything you needed. The host was very friendly and responded quickly to any message sent. Would definitely recommend this for families with children or just adults. Such amazing views , good parking , nearby beaches and shops. ❤️

I stayed here with my niece for three nights. We both thought the apartment was even nicer than the photos. It’s in a great location, so we left the car in the designated parking space at the station carpark and walked everywhere we wanted to go for the first 2 days, then drove down to Lands End on the third (highly recommended). There’s loads to see and do in St Ive’s and some great restaurants, we loved it there. The apartment was really comfortable and had everything we needed. Michael was only next door and very friendly, he gave some local recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed for a lovely stay, and was very welcoming to us and my dog too.

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

Lovely place to stay with wonderful sea views. The apartment has everything you could possibly need and we thought the decor was very tasteful and stylish with great finishes. Smashing kitchen, great wifi and comfortable beds with cotton bedding and a lovely bathroom with a powerful shower. Hosts were extremely helpful.

We had the most amazing weather for our stay. Two of us shared the apartment. We discovered various steps to take us to town. The cab to the flat from the station was only £6 and well worth it on the way up! We really enjoyed The Sloop Inn and a restaurant called Silko on the quay St Ives. The best coffee by far was Mount Zion. The flat was really quiet and the beds comfortable. The Spa was really great and the views from the Spa Hotel were great. Lunch there was v tasty and the staff were sympathetic.

This studio suited us very well. It felt spacious with very cleverly chosen furnishings - lots of storage and a well-equipped kitchen. Susi and Graham's attention to detail and generous supply of things like olive oil, tea and coffee, salt and pepper grinders etc make such a difference the feel of a place - you don't have to waste time shopping for basics. It was spotlessly clean too. It is easy to find and quiet, and the walk down into St Ives is easy (there is always the bus for the return!) Susi and Graham were very welcoming but not at all intrusive. We hope to return soon

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Hannah's place. Everything was as described and had everything we needed for our 4 night stay. There is a shared garden at the back which is very peaceful. Hannah was responsive and helped with suggestions of the local area. The walk into town isn't long but it is up a very steep hill (when coming back), however if we didn't want to do the walk back in the evening we just parked in town which was very easy. I would just recommend an eye mask if you are a sensitive to the light as the curtains aren't black out.

We had a lovely week in Emily & Matt's flat. We liked that you can walk into town but also to Fistral beach & quieter areas. Great views - I enjoyed relaxing, reading in the bay window. I treated myself to swim & breakfast at Headland hotel (special offer).

Excellent place, Mitch was very helpful with recommendations and all the essentials were provided free of charge in his place. Lovely apartment and perfect for me. Amazing location in town and lots to do around and nearby. Perfect for the weekend break!

The apartment suited us perfectly. It was walkable to some shops and eateries in Hayle, and also a good location to visit other places in Cornwall like St Ives. We had a great stay and would come back.

Damian was very friendly and helpful especially when it came down to finding the parking. Very easy to talk to when it came to checking in/out. Highly recommend this place and could have stayed longer!

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.

Really nice and clean, very convenient location with a amazing view of sea. I had a great time staying here and will definitely visit again! highly recommend

We had a lovely stay at Little Lowena in Carbis Bay. The studio was clean, cozy, and had everything that we needed. It was perfect for a quiet getaway. Check-in was easy, the free parking was a huge plus, and the location made it easy to explore St Ives and the surrounding area. Robert and Helen were great hosts—highly recommend! :)

was a lovely place to stay a short walk to the beach. Diana was extremely helpful! we all love it
