Beach View

Beach View is a three-bedroom apartment for six near the harbour end of St Ives, with three bathrooms so each bedroom has its own washing facilities. That bathroom ratio is unusual for a St Ives apartment this size, and it suits a group of couples or a family who would rather not queue in the morning.

Parking is included on a street where spaces are otherwise scarce, along with WiFi and a dishwasher. There is no washing machine, hot tub or garden, so it works best as a short-stay base rather than a long self-catering trip. Fifteen photos in the gallery show the layout in detail before booking.

Porthminster Beach is 500m away on foot, followed by St Ives Harbour Beach at 700m and Porthmeor Beach at 0.6 miles further round the headland. That spread means a different beach is walkable each day without needing the car, which can stay in its parking space for trips further along the coast to Zennor or Carbis Bay.

Beach View holds a 5 out of 5 rating from 34 reviews, a solid track record for a smaller apartment. Changeover day is Friday, and the starting price is £881 per week.

**Best for:** Six guests wanting three private bathrooms, parking and three St Ives beaches within a 1-mile walk.

**Less good for:** Dog owners, guests needing on-site laundry or a garden, or anyone requiring a guaranteed sea view or step-free access.
