About this property

Luxury, Spacious, Beachfront (direct access) House with Breath-taking Sea Views

Voted “one of Vrbo’s 2026 Holiday Homes of the Year."

Situated on the beautiful 'Cornish Riviera', 'The View' is a wonderful, 5 bedroom house with beach access (direct from the garden) and breath-taking, 180-degree sea views. The house and view certainly has the 'wow' factor (especially when viewed from the hot tub!) In the drive, there is off-street parking for 4 cars. The heart of the home is the spacious sitting room with large sliding doors allowing you to relax on any one of the 4 comfy sofas and take in the incredible sea-view. The room is tastefully decorated with interesting, original artwork and vintage film posters. It's fully equipped with a flat- screen TV, a log-burner, a vinyl record player (with classic albums!) and a decorative juke box. This room is a cool and cosy space for the whole family! The large, spacious, kitchen / dining room is a fabulous space to host family meals allowing everyone an incredible sea-view. The master bedroom also has wonderful sea-views, a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite with a large shower. There are 3 further double bedrooms which share a large family bathroom with a bath and shower. There is also a Quad room, ideal for younger members of the group which has its own bathroom with large shower. Kids and pets are more than welcome! (they would love it here!)

The house is beautiful and, if anything, beyond expectations. The house has a fantastic layout and is furnished to a very high standard. The kitchen/dining area has plenty of seating for all 10 of us and, of course, there’s spectacular views out to sea. We had a wonderful week and wouldn’t hesitate to return should the opportunity arise.

A Beautiful Stay With Real Wow‑FactorThis property truly has the wow factor — it’s stunning inside and out, set in an equally beautiful and peaceful location. We were lucky enough to have fabulous weather during our stay, which made the whole experience feel even more special.The kitchen is extremely well equipped, and the welcome hamper was such a thoughtful touch. The house itself is spacious, immaculately kept, and beautifully furnished throughout. The beds were wonderfully comfortable, giving us great nights’ sleep after long sunny days.We loved that there are a couple of lovely places to eat just a 10‑minute walk away, with Seaton only a further 10 minutes along the coast — perfect for relaxed strolls and easy meals out.We had a fantastic time and would definitely love to visit again.

Fabulous property, seaviews are lovely and the hosts are friendly should you need to speak to them. The house has everything you could want for a chiiled break away. Location is remote and a car a must if you want to go exploring. Highly recommend for a large group get away or a family where personal space is a must! (teenagers!).

Fabulous House with great views

This is a beautiful house with amazing views of the Cornish Coastline. We loved the large airy living spaces, the decor and the well equipped kitchen. We had a wonderful time staying there particularly enjoying the hot tub and the garden. Whilst there we visited Cawsands, Kingsands and Rame Head and got the ferry to Plymouth from Cemyll one day.

The View

We have a family walking holiday with dogs for a number of years and The View is the best property we have stayed. The view and location were outstanding and the local pub, which was a short stroll down the beach was excellent (including food)

Beautiful Location - Excellent Property

The property has stunning views and the direct access to the beach was amazing. The house is well maintained and equipped, and worked really well for our group of three generations. The teenagers especially enjoyed the hot tub, despite us not having the best weather. The local shop and pub being within walking distance was very handy. Excellent communication with the host, very helpful and responded very quickly to my messages.

Beautiful location

Property is right on the beach in an idyllic location, with a short drive to Looe. The layout of the bedrooms was perfect for us as an extended family. We had an issue during our stay and it was dealt with quickly and effectively by the owners and their team, so cannot fault on service. The property is well laid out with heaps of space for groups of up to 10. (We had 6 adults, 1 teenager and 3 younger children under 10).

About the host

Hosted by Emily Hendy

Host profile image

We are theatrical producers from Kent who fell in love with 'The View' at first sight.

Why they chose this property

Cornwall (and in particular Downderry and the surrounding area) is our favourite holiday destination. We have three children, 8, 10 and 14 (funny names for children(!) and we think there is so much to do here for the whole family - surfing, body-boarding, rock-pooling, go-karting, zip-wires, zoos, castles etc... Or if you want a day out, you can visit Looe, Fowey, Polperro, St Ives, Landsend, the Eden Project...etc... Alternatively, you could just stay at The View and watch out for the seals who visit the reef right outside the window!

What makes this property unique

'Enjoy The View!'
The picturesque village of Downderry was voted one of the ‘Top Ten Places to Live by the Sea’ in the Sunday Times. Downderry, together with the neighbouring beachside village of Seaton, have restaurants (The Blue Plate is highly recommended!); a beachside pub (‘Inn on the Shore’ has great pub food with a wonderful view); beach cafés; a village store and a post office. Similar facilities are available at St Germans, which also has a main line railway station providing a useful link to Plymouth. Seaton beach has a RNLI Lifeguard station during the summer and Seaton also has a Countryside Park with riverside and woodland walks.

At ‘The View’, you’re just a 2 minute walk away from access to the beautiful South West Coast Path. If you’re a golfer, you can enjoy a round at at Portwrinkle, St Mellion International Golf Resort or Looe Bindown and if it's fun you're looking for, ‘Adrenalin Quarry’ is a must (with go-karting, a giant swing, a brilliant aqua park and the longest zip wire in England!)
