Surfer's Retreat in St Ives, Cornwall

Surfer's Retreat Self-Catering

Elegant and relaxed throughout, this home situated just a ten-minute walk away from Porthminster Beach makes for a stylish beachside escape in a prime Cornish location. Inside the home, a neutral beachy colour scheme reflects its seaside address beautifully – with stones, blues and greys creating a soothing ambience to unwind in after days out on the beach. Pocket doors bring the outdoors in, extending the living area to the patio. Wake up each morning and open the bedroom's sliding doors to start your day with a breath of fresh sea air before going to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Outside, the contemporary furniture presents an idyllic sun trap for enjoying alfresco dining or relaxing with a book in hand. There's no better way to spend your evenings than in the bubbling hot tub with a glass of wine. If fine dining is your vibe, explore the local town of St Ives, where sampling the local produce and seafood is a must. You'll discover the town's rich art culture and an array of quirky boutiques and beach shops. But the real attraction here is, of course, the sparkling turquoise waters and surf beaches that come alive during the summer months. And if you're bringing or renting surfboards, this place has you covered – as you'll find designated storage space for all of your beach gear at the property.
