Family Home by The Sea

A beautiful family home by the sea. 200 metres from the mile long sandy beach of Praa Sands. Most rooms have panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. Generous open plan living and dining areas with large garden. There is a log fire for cooler days. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to prepare meals with a generous range of condiments and spices. This is a great house for relaxing and spending long days on the deck, lawn or beach.

We welcome children. There is a high chair, cot, a box of children's games and internet TV for rainy days. Child safety gates are at the bottom and top of stairs.

Discounts are possible for couples, please inquire.

I am enjoying learning German and am happy to correspond in German, though there may be a few mistakes.

Why they chose this property

Praa Sands is an old fashioned seaside resort with a beautiful beach. We love the peace and lovely views. There are great coastal walks whether you go east or west from the house and beautiful places nearby like Loe Bar lake near Porthleven. Supermarkets are a 10 minute drive away in Penzance and Helston. There is a small and well stocked Coop 2 miles from the house.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful and restful location by the sea. The mile long sandy beach can be reached by walking through the garden and along a short path. There is a family friendly pub and beach cafe. The western end of the beach is busier in the summer and the eastern end is usually quiet. There are sea-views from most rooms and an expansive deck with large garden.
