14 Virgin Street

14 Virgin Street is a three-bedroom cottage on a central St Ives street, sleeping six with sea views from the ground-floor living space. Traditional whitewashed houses surround the property, and Porthmeor Beach is 100 metres away.

The bedrooms comprise two doubles and one twin. One bathroom serves all six guests, a practical limitation for a full group. Wi-Fi and a washing machine are included, though there's no dishwasher. Dogs are not accepted, and host Jasmine manages the booking.

The garden provides outdoor seating for the group, though a barbecue, EV charger and off-road parking are all absent. The letting agent's category ratings run lower here than much of the town's stock: two out of five for cleanliness against five for location. Eight reviews average 3.5 out of 5.

Porthmeor Beach is 100 metres away, St Ives Harbour Beach is 200 metres away and Porthgwidden Beach is 400 metres from the cottage. Town galleries and central streets are close by, with more detail in the St Ives guide.

At the listed £684 a night, full occupancy works out at £114 per person per night. **Best for:** families or friends wanting sea views and three beaches within 400 metres. **Less good for:** drivers needing parking, groups wanting multiple bathrooms or guests requiring step-free access.
