Ocean Breeze

A four-bedroom townhouse in Marazion, sleeping 7 across three floors with 2 bathrooms, underfloor heating, and an enclosed rear garden. Marazion is the closest town to St Michael's Mount - the tidal island is visible from the beach 0.6 miles away, and at low tide it's walkable across the causeway. Ocean Breeze has 55 guest reviews and was a previous Sykes Award winner.

The house runs on underfloor heating throughout, with Wi-Fi, off-road parking, dishwasher, and washing machine all included. Four bedrooms across the upper floors give families or groups of friends enough separation to avoid the usual holiday-house friction. No dogs. Friday changeover.

Marazion beach is 0.6 miles on foot. Perranuthnoe beach is 1.4 miles east - a quieter, dog-friendly option backed by low cliffs. Penzance is about 3.1 miles west, with its art deco lido, rail connections, and the ferry terminal for the Isles of Scilly. Long Rock beach is 1.7 miles along the bay.

The townhouse sits in a residential side street off the main road through Marazion, away from the summer tourist traffic on the beachfront.

Best for families or two-couple groups wanting a town base with the Mount on the doorstep. Less good for anyone expecting a dog to come along or needing a single-storey layout.
