About this house rental
Can you imagine waking up here and not feeling total joy!?
Ocean Scene was a stunning property before, but since being redesigned and refurbished it is now a truly exceptional property!
Yes, it still ticks all the pre-refurbishment boxes of great location, stunning sea views, 2 parking spaces and garden/terrace overlooking Porthmeor beach, but throw in the exceptionally tasteful redesign resulting in stunning interiors and you now have all boxes well and truly ticked!
Where do we begin? Well, firstly the key details…
Ocean Scene is a large luxurious 5 bedroomed / 3 storey house in St Ives, with stunning views over Porthmeor beach to the Atlantic Ocean from both the house and large front garden. Those sea views can be enjoyed from the bay window seat in the living room and from the two largest bedrooms on first and second floors. To be really indulgent you could even watch the sunset whilst luxuriating in a free-standing bath in each of these bedrooms, ideally with a glass of something fizzy in hand!
On the ground floor is a large open-plan living room leading through to the dining room and newly installed well-equipped kitchen, with utility/WC to the rear. The whole house has been designed by a locally respected interior designer who oversaw the refurb to ensure everything was just perfect. The feel is of classic contemporary with well-designed spaces perfect for all generations of the family.
Upstairs you will find 3 bedrooms and a family bathroom, with the spacious bedroom with free-standing bath to the front the pièce de resistance with those exceptional views.
Up on the top floor is a shower room and the two further bedrooms, where again the front bedroom steels the limelight with both bed and bath enjoying those fine views.
Across the quiet private road to the front are the 2 parking spaces and path leading down to the garden with summer house, lawn and outdoor dining, the perfect spot to enjoy those sundowners whilst watching the surfers or sunset over Porthmeor beach.
Great care has been taken to create a stylish retreat, particularly for families with young children - the garden even has a fabulous pirate ship and playhouse with table football and Wii console for any rainy days.
Location wise, the house is a short 3 minute walk down to Porthmeor beach and approximately 5 minutes in to the centre of St Ives with its scenic harbour and range of fantastic restaurants, shops and galleries. The renowned Tate gallery is close by right at the top of Porthmeor beach.
So if you are looking for a fabulous large luxury holiday home in St Ives that ticks all the boxes for all the family then Ocean Scene really is the perfect property.

My husband and I rented this home for the month of September. St. Ives was our base from which to explore Cornwall’s coastline. Various family and friends visited us while we were in St. Ives and the house easily accommodated 8 adults. If you have young children, Fay set up a children’s bedroom that is precious.
I cannot say enough about the home, it’s location and Fay, the property owner. The house is well appointed, comfortable and recently renovated. The view from all front rooms is spectacular. The beds are quite comfortable and the kitchen has everything you need if you want to cook. Also, the garden terrace is remarkable with a stunning view of Porthmeor Beach. We had breakfast and dinner on the terrace when the weather permitted. And, you are in walking distance to the beach and St. Ives. Also, reserved parking is directly in front of the house.
It is worth noting St. Ives’ topography is hilly. Comfortable walking shoes are a must. I highly recommend this jewel nestled into the hillside, above the town. Also, Fay was so responsive and helpful; the perfect host!

The property was beautifully presented and really well laid out. Whilst the location up a steep hill was a challenge for the older members of our group, this was easily addressed by me dropping off and picking them up at the bottom of the hill and then walking the few minutes back to the group. This little extra effort was 100% worth it for the stunning views we were rewarded with.
I would not hesitate to recommend this house.

Perfect St. Ives holiday.
Beautiful house, fantastic location, amazing view, plenty of room for everyone, and everything we needed in the house and more! Our family had the best holiday together and I hope it won’t be long until we can make it back again. Thanks to Fay for the great communication and for sharing her beautiful house with us.

Ocean Scene is an amazing house over looking the most wonderful view of the sea and beach , the photographs of the house and views on the website were pretty amazing but to actually be there was breath taking. The house has everything you could possibly need, every detail has been carefully thought about by the owner including plenty to entertain the children, the seating and dining area at the bottom of the garden is amazing over looking the beach we loved sitting there in the evening. We were pleasantly surprised to find there was parking for 3 large cars that was an added bonus. We were sad to leave but had an amazing holiday in an amazing house and would love to go back !!!

We had such a wonderful time. The house is just beautiful with everything we needed for adults and small people for a wonderfully relaxing holiday. The property is just as it appears in the pictures and the views of the beach - especially from the top bedroom, are stunning.

We stayed for 3 nights for my birthday, and the house is just beautiful. The views are breath taking and the house had everything you’d need. The garden is great, and it was a really thoughtful touch to leave coal for the bbq. Overall our stay couldn’t have been better and I can’t wait to stay again! Thank you Fay for making everything so easy and accommodating our dog. .

We were absolutely blown away by this property - the views are jaw dropping, the location is very private but just a few minutes walk to Porthmeor Beach, and the property itself was just wonderful. Everything was clean, homely, and so elegantly decorated. It's very clear that this property is well loved, and so much thought has gone into the finer details such as a coffee machine and dog toys neatly stowed by the door. We had brilliant communication with the owner and a very warm welcome waiting for us. I cannot believe our luck at having found such an absolute gem, and look forward very much to staying again in the future.

The house was just spectacular with everything our party needed and lots more we didn’t expect. The house is beautiful and finished to a great standard. Lots of added extras that made our stay comfortable from beach toys for the kids to windbreakers for your visits to the myriad of local beaches.
While the garden isn’t connected to the house itself the, it was separated by a quiet road.
Overall a fabulous stay!

We had a fantastic week's stay here !
The location is great for the Surf school and the shops, with Porthmeor beach about a 5 min walk. ( Steep uphill walk on the way back !)
All the rooms are a good size with the 2 larger bedrooms having amazing sea views. The view from the lounge is also lovely.
The garden is great for a barbeque or drinks on the patio and has panoramic sea views.
There is also a den with football table and a play kitchen which our 4 year old daughter loved.
Adequate parking for 2 large cars, this house has ticked every box for us this year !!

Relaxing autumn break
Amazing holiday let. The views of St Ives were just fantastic. The owners had thought of some really small details that were greatly appreciated . We were so pleased to be able to walk to the beach to bodyboard. Overall the best holiday let we have ever stayed in.

Superb holiday
The property was excellent in every aspect. We were an extended family on holiday and were delighted with the property, the location and the close attention to detail taken by the owner in equipping the property for all age groups and all needs. It was a special weekend and enhanced by such a beautiful house. To wake up and look at the dawn over Porthmeor beach and the the little chapel on the headland from the top floor bedroom will last in our memories in the future.

St Ives with stunning views of Porthmeor Beach
This house has some of the best views in St Ives, absolutely stunning.
It sleeps 10 and has large rooms to accommodate everyone. Great location for the beach and town but it may hurt on the climb back up the hill, but it will be worth it!

Owners rectified a problem quickly and were professional in every way
The house has amazing views and is tastefully decorated. The terrace is a beautiful place to sit and relax. We did not have children with us but this house is exceptional for little ones with a play house and pirate ship in the garden. Joanna and Matt were let down by their cleaning company so the house was not well presented on our arrival but once we notified them they dealt with it quickly and even turned up themselves to clean. We could not have asked for a better response to a difficult situation.

Stunning views, beautifully styled and lovely additions to make it fun for kids and parents!
We had a very special family holiday in a very special place and house. We enjoyed being able to walk everywhere and take in the local cuisines and scenery. The house was perfect for us, as it allowed every couple to have their own space but also to come together for meals and games in the lovely kitchen and lounge areas. We wouldn't hesitate to come again or recommend to friends and family. Thanks again to the lovely hosts who provided plenty of information and were very accommodating to all our needs. Best wishes!
