Ocean Villas

Ocean Villas is a dog-friendly beachfront apartment in Marazion, one of the oldest chartered towns in Britain. Set in a historic building on North Street with sea views and direct beach access, it has a location score of 9.7 from 99 guest reviews. St Michael's Mount - the National Trust castle-topped island - is roughly a 1-minute walk to the causeway.

The apartment has a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, a washing machine, private bathroom, and streaming services. Parquet floors and a dining area give the interior a more considered feel than a typical holiday let. Free WiFi is included, and a wood burner makes the space comfortable outside of peak season.

A sun terrace and outdoor seating area face the sea, with a garden providing extra space. The property welcomes dogs, which pairs well with the long stretch of Marazion Beach - about half a mile of sand with St Michael's Mount as a backdrop. Free parking is available on site.

Marazion sits 2 miles east of Penzance, well placed for reaching the Lizard, Land's End, and St Ives. The marshes behind the town are an RSPB reserve where breeding bitterns were recorded for the first time in 2023. The Mount's harbour boat service runs when the causeway is submerged, with a return fare of around 2 pounds 50 per adult.
