Beachfront holiday rentals in St Austell

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.

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.

Our second stay at Julia’s, apartment is fab, really enjoyable, perfect location, beach is so close with lots of bars and restaurants accessible on foot. Loved it, looking forward to our return. 😎

Beautiful apartment in a stunning location. The apartment was exactly as described and looked in the photos. Immaculate, high quality finishes and appliances. Beds are super comfortable, with enough space in the apartment for 4 adults or family. Location is ideal to not use or need a car, as its located beachfront, next to restaurants, bars and the South West Coast Path for scenic walks. Darren was so easy to communicate with, giving recommendations, tips and quick response times. couldn't fault at all.

Truly beautiful accommodation, felt home from home . Caroline and Adam very helpful. Extra special touch their information booklet and directions

Clean apartment and great location. Host was very accomodating with early check in and out. Highly reccomend

We had an amazing time for the short time we were staying. It was a beautiful home. The beach was beautiful and an easy short walk into the town. We will def book and stay again!! Thank you!!

We had a fabulous week at Sally’s property. The property is as described and is situated a stroll from a beautiful beach and Gilbert’s beach bar. It’s the perfect base to explore southern Cornwall. We will definitely book again.

We loved our stay here. The apartment was perfect for us - a family of 4 with 2 teens. There is so much to do on the estate - the pool and leisure area were great for rainy days. It was amazing to be able to walk to the beach and enjoy the cafe as well as being able to hire SUPs and wetsuits. Melanie was a great host and was really flexible in letting us change our arrival day (twice!) as well as enabling an early check in. There's loads to do in the area. Highly recommended!

I booked this as a surprise birthday get away for my wife and our two young children and it was the most perfect place I could have ever imagined. The view from the balcony is incredible, especially the sun rise (thanks to my youngest we never missed) is something worth waking up for. The entire house was spotless and the bed was so comfortable! Mel gave very detailed instructions on how to find the home, as well as some fantastic local recommendations. Excellent communication right up to the booking and was very helpful with extras for the kids! The beach is only a short downhill walk away, even quicker if you jump in the pushchair with the kids. The beach is quite small but was perfect for us. Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a Cornish getaway and would definitely book again!

The flat was spotless clean and very well decorated. Perfect location for a walk into town and also a stroll to Gylly beach. The view from the window was a delight when opening the curtains in the morning. one thing to note is the flat is a top floor and there is no lift. we never used the Falmouth hotel for swimming or gym but we did find that the bar was a perfect place for a drink on the way out\way back. Would love to stay here again. Never had to contact Nicola during the stay due to no issue's, however we did receive regular updates from Nicola. perfect holiday thanks you Nicola.

We absolutely loved our stay at Mary’s beautiful home. It exceeded our expectations the location was incredible, only a short and beautiful walk into the town. Next to the best beach. Every room was very clean and had everything we needed. Mary was very help helpful and quick to respond to any queries. Would highly recommend. Made a special birthday just perfect.

It was so lovely to arrive ,open the door and be wowed by the place , it was comfortable and clean and Susanne had left some nice treatsfor us .she was available to contact for any questions and very friendly ,i would definately recomend her

we had a truly wonderful stay at maenporth . the apartment was great and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay . we really enjoyed the comfort and amenities of the apartment and the complex

Everything was as described by Anna, the Surf Shack was spotless and very well maintained. Anna's communication with us was brilliant since the beginning. The "welcome package" was a nice touch and the Surf Shack has everything you need for a lovely holiday. Essentially we used this place as a base to explore Cornwall, and even though the weather wasn't perfect with a few rainy and windy days, the truth is that we made the most of our time, always with something different to do and explore each day. The local mini-market and entertainment, the play areas and the beach also add extra value to this place. For us travelling with 2 kids, the Surf Shack was definitely a good choice and the kids didn't want to leave it! The only thing that could be improved are the bed mattresses, which could be more comfortable. Otherwise, nothing more to say except that we loved it. Thank you for having us!

Marcus's place was great for our visit to Cornwall. The apartment was very clean and in a nice building. Within walking distance to lots of restaurants and two beaches. When we got lost during check in Marcus was available over phone and he called us again later to make sure we got in okay. Very friendly!

We were 4 adults and a baby and had a great stay for the week. Beverley was easy to communicate with and her place has a memorable view . Great outdoor spots to view the honour and follow the sun. Nice lower green space with grass and lounge chairs and a lovely patio. Tastefully furnished, comfortable and quiet.

The most beautiful place, all amenities in the appartment wrapped up in a cosy comfortable clean seaside themed vibe. Best nights sleep on a gorgeous king sized bed with luxurious fabrics. The helpful guide curated by the host was perfect - we were able to travel to Polperro, Fowey, Liskeard and Plymouth on local buses and train - never had to use the car during our stay. We went to pubs with roof top bars, coffee and crab sandwiches on the harbour and ended our week with a lovely meal at the Hannafore Point Hotel. But it was the view from the lounge and bedroom window that was the highlight - absolutely breathtaking especially watching the sun rise whilst sitting in bed with a cup of tea - so much so that we didn’t watch the tv because watching the view was so much better - like something out of a magical world. And that’s the overriding feeling we have and memories we treasure - a magical week in a magical place in the most magical setting - memories that will warm us on dreary days

Firefly was absolutely perfect for me. Small but perfectly formed and beautifully presented in every way. It has super comfortable bed with gorgeous duvet, pillows and linen. Dina provided lovely products in the beautifully appointed shower room too . Firefly is in a great location, only minutes away from the beach and all that the village has to offer. Dina’s description of Firefly left me in no doubt what to expect and her communication was excellent. I would thoroughly and very happily recommend it.

We had a wonderful stay at Talland Cliff side beach house, we stayed for two nights with our two children and Labrador, the property was clean and comfortable and had all the amenities we needed plus a few extra touches that added to our enjoyment, the family games and the hammock were a favourite for the children and sauna was an added luxury for us :) but without a doubt sitting on the decking and watching the sea was the most relaxing and wonderful thing for us to do! The beach is 5 minutes walk down the cliff side not too difficult but the climb back up may take a little longer but absolutely worth it for the trip down to the beach, there are a couple of coastal paths within a couple of miles of the property and a couple of small eateries close by for lunch with a view. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

What a gem! The upper beach house is a fantastic find with the most wonderful scenic view to look out to. The house is spacious, homely and full of all the amenities to feel home from home. The outdoor terrace is a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy the view of the beach. With just a one minute walk to the beach and costal path, the location was perfect. Gareth was a great host, responsive and clear instructions. A brilliant stay!!

Wonderful host with amazing views! They were so helpful with recommendations and how we should set up cot for our baby. Super helpful and kind with special extras when we arrived

We had a wonderful week in Monkey Magic. The location was absolutely perfect and the apartment was tastefully furnished, very clean and the view incredible. Fantastic beds too! Our teenage daughter loved her own room with en-suite bathroom. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and we found tea, coffee, milk, a fresh loaf of bread, eggs and butter when we arrived, which was a wonderful surprise. Great communication with the hosts and fantastic descriptions/explaining videos on how to get there, where to park etc. We would like to come back and highly recommend Monkey Magic to other guests!

If you are hesitating about booking Cliff Cottage in Portloe then please don’t even question it…just book it! By far the loveliest Air B n b we have had the privilege to stay in. Annie and Giovanni are perfect hosts. Charming, warm, always available and welcoming but never intrusive. Together they have created a little piece of heaven. The cottage is gorgeous and perfectly situated. The incomparable views, peace and tranquillity, creative interior design, attention to detail, thoughtful extras and the comfort and cleanliness of the cottage combine to create something truly magical. They have literally thought of everything. We felt instantly at home. My husband spent most of his time staring out of the window enjoying the views and we loved spending time in the garden and enjoying the sound of the waves. Loads to do in the local area. Stunning coastal walks in either direction and the village of Portloe captured our hearts. We truly did not want to leave.
