Good parking, good location, all amenities close by as are various beaches. Property nice and clean and good communication from host. Just to say that getting back from town/beach there is a very steep hill to walk up which may be a challenge for the less mobile.

New Year celebrations

From start to finish, very easy check in with great communication, upon arrival milk, scones, clotted cream and jam provid. Everything that you need is in the apartment, looks like it's been refurbished not so long ago, off road parking. Just the perfect stay with a sea view. Highly recommend this place.

What a charming and well-appointed home. Wonderful views of the sea and Porthmeor Beach. The house has everything you need and is looked after to the highest standards. We have some mobility issues and Rachel checked with us before booking to ensure the house was suitable for us. We stayed at Christmas and New Year and the welcome basket was most generous. Wonderful to wake up to views of the ocean.

The house was very comfortable, nicely decorated and had great views out of the back. The area was quiet but still close to a great beach and an easy 10-15 minute downhill walk to the town. The scones and cream waiting for us as we arrived was a nice touch. The host was also accommodating when we asked for an earlier check in as our train arrived very early in the morning, they let us know when the cleaning was finished so we could get in a bit earlier than the posted 3pm check in.

Wonderful Stay at Beach Haven

Beach Haven is a lovely property in a quiet area about 10 minutes from Porthmeor beach (NB it takes longer to walk back as it's up a steep hill). Arrived to find a cream tea and milk in the fridge. Had a wonderful time. Thank you.

We loved our stay in St Ives. The house was perfect for our family of four, and was well-equipped with everything we needed. There were lovely touches, like the welcome Cornish Cream Tea and milk, plus coffee pods for the machine! The addition of games and books was a plus too. Host Rachel was super-helpful and provided lots of useful information.

Breath of fresh air

Beautifully appointed house. Great location and really appreciated the space. Very well equipped and everything was clearly explained as to how to operate tv, washing machine and dishwasher. Just wondered where the microwave and dryer were but not a real problem. Such a lovely place for our holiday. We had a great time there. Thank you

St Ives Gem

The house has all the practicalities of a modern residential setting with lots of added sea side charm - a sea view and only minutes from the stunning coastal path and a fabulous array of restaurants with stunning views. All this and a parking space. Really helpful and speedy response from the owner too.

Perfect Family Getaway at Beach Haven: Immaculate Property with Stunning Views

We had a wonderful time at Beach Haven in April. The property was spotless and thoughtfully equipped, offering plenty of space for our family of four. It was tastefully decorated and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was ideal, just a short stroll from Porthmeor Beach and central St Ives, with stunning views of the beach from the property. The kids fully embraced the natural activities available along the coastline, keeping them entertained throughout our stay. The host was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall, it was a memorable experience, and we highly recommend Beach Haven for families seeking a relaxing or adventure-filled getaway.

Welcome pack was well appreciated especially the scones which included clotted cream strawberry conserve and butter! Thanks Rachel for your extra touch and prompt replies.

Everything we needed

Recently stayed at Beach Haven with my wife and 7 month old baby. The house was spotless and had absolutely everything you’d ever want - every kitchen appliance, a travel cot and even a BBQ. Shower was big, powerful and perfect after a day at the beach. The location was unreal! Amazing views and walking distance to everything. Rachel was a fantastic host and answered any questions I had - nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend to friends and family, and we’ll no doubt be back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
