Harbour View 500m from the beach!
Brilliant location for St Ives. The hill was no problem, nor was parking in the car park along the road (£10.50 per day). Our girls (8 and 11) loved their room and my wife and I felt the same about ours. Super comfy bed and lovely view. Also great to be able to wash and tumble dry our clothes. Highly recommend this brilliant apartment and will definitely be staying again.

Porthminster Apartment One
Modern, comfortable, in the heart of everything with fantastic views. Cant really ask for more.

Sunset @ Lusty Glaze - Sea Views & Private Parking
What a gorgeous place! Really easy check in process, great response rate from owners. Couldn’t fault the apartment or location! Thanks for a great stay! :)

Carrick View Harbourside Apartment
This is a wonderful space and a great location. it is lovely and comfortable, designed well with individual spaces and truly comfortable gathering spaces. The location was excellent. We loved it.

Lapwing - Apartment with stunning harbour view.
We would echo all the previous excellent feedback on location and great views. The fresh flowers, milk and biscuits were nice touches. Janet responded quickly to our enquiries and managed to resolve satisfactorily an issue that developed that she had no control over. We would round to return one day.

Waterside apartment, Vi-spring king bed, parking
Clear instructions, well equipped for what you need, host was very responsive. Noisy location but wasn’t a problem for us, right near the centre of town with lots to do.

Ocean Breeze Porthtowan
Mike you’re awesome, property is great with a wonderful view. Mike keeps it super clean and has provided what you could need to have a great stay. The beach view and waking up to the sound of the waves is priceless. Total gem

Tides Reach - Lovely beach house 100 from beach
We loved our week at Tides Reach. Very clean, spacious, comfortable and well equipped . It had everything we could need and more! Perfect location, just yards from the beach and amenities, with private parking. Dominic was a great host, kept us informed and easy to contact. Highly recommended!

House by The Sea with THE View
Perfect location in easy walking distance to great restaurants and coffee shops.

The Anchorage, Portmellon, Mevagissey
We had the most beautiful, peaceful and relaxing stay at The Anchorage. The location was superb, and the views from the house were my personal favorite part. I spent every spare minute in the sunroom looking at the ocean. There was plenty of space for us to all be comfortable and my children especially enjoyed the kids room with bunk beds! The town is beautiful and there are so many different beach options around to choose from. It is definitely a little stressful driving in the village (coming from from an American haha) but that aside it was a perfect end to our vacation and I plan on booking again (this time with some friends or maybe extended family to fill up the many bedrooms!)

Upper Beach House
Amazing views, stunning scenery, peaceful surroundings. Qonderful stay with the family. Even with typical British weather, mixture of rain and sunshine. When it rained, seaviews made up for it. Plenty of space. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a piece of Cornwall to enjoy and relax in.

The Slipway Fowey Harbour, Parking 1 Min & Garden
We enjoyed a short break at The Slipway , a beautifully presented, well located house. It was spotlessly clean and very quiet, yet only a short wander into town. The view from the front windows is wonderful whatever the weather . Thank you for being such responsive hosts , offering an early check in and being very accommodating from booking to check out. We would highly recommend this house.

The Beach House Holywell Bay
Just returned from a lovely 3 night stay among the dunes at the Rest House. The property was very nice, a short walk to the beautiful Holywell dunes and beach. Debbie was very responsive throughout our stay. Thanks!

Stepping stones 3 bedroom house.
Lynn was an excellent host, super responsive. The place was very welcoming, a great home base for a few days with lovely views. Has everything we needed for a baby too. If you’re not driving note that it’s up quite a steep hill!

Little House in the Valley, short stroll to beach
My wife and I, two elder kids and a dog had a great time here. The house was exactly as described with all the extras like dishwasher tablets all included, which makes such a difference. Sharon was very responsive and helpful. Lots of info provided including detailed walking maps for the walk to the beach, which was a beautiful stroll. The immediate area itself is like a resort with its own bar and restaurant, which we enjoyed. EV charging on site a real bonus. We’d definitely come back here.

Fistral Sands Beachside Flat - Panoramic Sea Views
I'm so glad to have been able to stay here! It honestly was one of the most amazing properties ever, I was saying to my now fiance and my parents how I'd love to move in. The scenery was stunning, the decor with the plants was beautiful and you could barely hear the noise from outside. A few bits in the kitchen weren't properly washed but we cleaned up what we needed to use, not the end of the world! I definately plan to stay here again as it was in such a perfect location. I highly recommend a meal at the Boathouse a few minutes away from the property, and keep an eye on your spends at the arcade. Oh my god I'm sure I could've got a mortgage out with the amount we spent! Good time and lots of smiles around. I hope you find this advice helpful and have a wonderful time in Newquay :)

CLIFF EDGE apartment with stunning seaview
We stayed at Karen’s apartment for my 30th birthday and it was absolutely perfect! The place was spotless, spacious, and beautifully set up, even better than the photos. Being just steps from the beach made it extra special, and we loved how peaceful and relaxing the area was. Karen was an amazing host - super responsive, helpful, and made everything really easy from start to finish. Would 100% stay again. Highly recommend!

The Old Gas Works on the Harbour
Stayed for 4 days for my wife's 40th birthday, the apartment was easy to find with parking permit available, front door is however on a main road but we were aware of this due to knowing the area. Kitchen was well equipped for our stay, our bed and the our sons beds were very comfy. Big telly with netflix and NowTV and warming log burner. Location was close to transport links (bus and trains), 10 minutes walk to Gilbert's beach bar and salt bar, local pub across the road and numerous takeaways (including a Chinese and domino's) within walking distance. Asda supermarket and Lidl 5 minute drive away

Falmouth Two Bedroom Beach Front Apartment
When booking somewhere to stay I was looking for a place close enough to walk to the beach, two separate boxes rooms and a carpark space in Falmouth. Amanda's place hit all those requirements! Really nice location, very quiet and right next to the Gylly cafe for dinner the first night. Everything we wanted in Falmouth was in walking distance. The flat was very comfortable and a great place to chill in the evenings. Very quiet area, although we went out of season I can't imagine it too noisy at other times of the year. Was greeted with a bottle of wine and pack of shortbread! Will definitely be booking again.

Lovely 2 Bed Apartment by the Marina, Falmouth.
Harry is the best possible kind of host. He’s friendly, very responsive and extremely communicative. His apartment is beautiful and very easy to use. The ONLY drawback that I have is nothing to do with Harry - the neighbourhood itself is a very private and quiet village and we were given a list in the lift requesting that we be very quiet. Aside from that - Harry is amazing and you will not find a better host. Thank you Harry!

Flip Flop Flat, Sea Views, Short Stroll to Beaches
Warm welcome, well equipped for our last minute short visit. Thank you for the hot cross buns 😊

Harbour View Falmouth
A real gem of a flat, well positioned with own parking place just a few metres away. The flat was exceptionally well equipped, cosy but spacious with a lovely outlook towards the Fal and harbour. The kitchen area had everything for a short, or longer, stay and was a delight to work in. A lot more kitchen equipment is provided than the usual airbnb's. The main bedroom was full of light in the morning, the small balcony a bonus for sitting out with a cup of tea or coffee. The fixtures throughout the flat are quite new and very clean. We struggled with the cold bath tap, probably because of old hands. Elly provided a comprehensive guide for using all the equipment which was very helpful. The welcome basket of nibbles was a really nice touch. A quite delightful spot, we thoroughly enjoyed our week stay, thanks Elly.
