St Ives Stay

Lovely & high spec property, comfortable beds & excellent cleanliness inside the apartment.Quite a lot of steps to apartment, no lift as discussed. Noisy from the flat above. The entry way & steps need maintenance and a good clean. Otherwise great.

This property is even more beautiful than the pictures! Everything is high end and comfortable. Location is great.. just up the hill from the train station. Helen, the host, and Claire, the manager are both awesome. The view is beautiful. It was everything we had hoped for and more!

Beautiful apartment with an amazing view

The pictures of the apartment and the view looked spectacular and it more than lived up to it. Despite it being winter, the chairs set up in the window allow you to sit and admire the constantly changing ocean. We loved it and can't wait to come back.

Fabulous apartment in a brilliant location

We loved our stay in this fabulous apartment. It’s brilliantly located in the heart of St Ives, and has the added bonus of its own parking space. The apartment feels spacious and airy, was spotlessly clean and very well appointed. Best of all are the views over the bay, which are truly spectacular. Helen, the owner, and Claire, the housekeeper, were efficient and delightful to deal with and we were very sorry to leave after just 5 days. Thank you both for a welcome and much-needed break - we will be sure to recommend your beautiful apartment to friends and family and hope to return someday!

Nicest rental we've stayed in

This apartment is beautifully furnished, impeccably clean, light, and spacious. It's less than a ten minute walk to town , five minutes to a grocery store , and three minutes to the bus stop and taxi. Best of all there's a private parking place for you in front and the smartest thing to do is to leave your car there . You won't do better than staying in this house, you even hate to leave to go outside.

Sun Shine in St Ives

We All Loved our stay in St Ives, and Helen's apartment was faultless in all ways, Location was excellent, I was able to go for my swim each morning just across the road to the beach, and harbour was just a short walk, Even though we left Apartment as we thought in good time giving us 6 hours to get to Bristol Airport we missed our flights the traffic was terrible, it took us 7 hours, but no fault only ourselves But if I was ever back to St Ives I would only stay in Helen's Apartment

Comfortable, Convenient & Chic

Comfortable luxury apartment with the added bonus of a parking space right outside. Convenient for the beach and St Ives and to just drive out and explore. Chic design with a real flair for decor. Helen was excellent at responding, despite being abroad she still called us straight away which we really appreciated. We would definitely choose to stay here again. We found one of the beds much more comfortable but it is a personal choice of how soft you like a bed and we are extremely fussy so it’s a big plus that we were happy and sleeping so well.
