Bay Villa

Bay Villa is a two-storey granite house sitting on the western side of Porthleven Harbour, with Mounts Bay visible from the main rooms. Three bedrooms sleep five - a king-size, a twin, and a single - spread across the house with three bathrooms, making it well-suited to families or a mixed-age group of five.

The decked garden is the social centre in summer, with space for al fresco dining and direct harbour views. Porthleven Beach is 600m away, a long shingle and sand beach that draws surfers in autumn and winter when westerly swells push in. Rinsey Cove is about 2.2 miles along the coast - smaller and accessed by footpath, quieter than Porthleven in peak season. Praa Sands is roughly 3.1 miles for a longer sand beach.

The harbour village has a growing food scene with several independent restaurants. The South West Coast Path runs directly through the town, connecting east towards the Lizard and west towards Marazion and St Michael's Mount.

Inside, WiFi, a dishwasher, and a washing machine are all included. Dogs are not accepted.

Best for families or a group of five who want a harbour-side location with sea views and three bathrooms. Ideal for those combining beach days with evenings in Porthleven's restaurants. Suits surfers given the winter swell exposure of Porthleven Beach.
