About this apartment rental
Seabirds House is a large Edwardian sea-captain's house with a very commanding position overlooking St Ives and the sea in all directions.
Flat 2 is on the first floor at the front of the house and the views are superb - it’s almost unique in St Ives to be able to see both the crashing waves on the Porthmeor surf beach, and the sheltered harbour beach. It's a studio flat with a bed that drops down from the wall in the sitting room - and can be pushed up, complete with the bedding, during the day. There's a separate kitchen (also with a sea view) and a good size bathroom with bath and shower.
Godrevy Terrace is quiet with very little passing traffic - you'll only hear the wind, the seagulls and the sea itself. Yet it's 2 or 3 minutes down the hill to the lively heart of this bustling little holiday town, and equally quick to get to the 3 main beaches. It takes a little longer to walk back up the very steep hill - and Seabirds is not be suitable for anyone with mobility problems. The flat is bright and modern, comfortable and convenient with everything you need for a holiday, but we don't claim to provide "luxury" accommodation and we don't have dishwashers or very posh kitchens so our prices are reasonable.
We also have a two bedroom flat, Flat 4 Seabirds House, which is on a separate listing - 8145290.
And a small separate one bed flat 100 yards away - our Barnoon Flat - listing 8151990. This flat also has a lovely sea view, over gardens to the harbour.

Flat was generally as expected. However it was not well stocked with glasses e.g wine glasses (2) were extremely small. No glasses if you wished a gin and tonic and cutlery was in short supply. Could have had more plates etc.
Access to keys via safety box not easy to open.

The apartment view was spectacular. Our first time in St Ives we felt so lucky to have the best view.
The only criticism was the blinds they were difficult to open and close and the beautiful sunlight woke us most mornings. We are both shift workers so had hoped to sleep in after 06.00 !
Would love to come back again.
Thank you

The owner Mary, is quick to reply with any queries you may have and sends out excellent accommodation information prior to your stay, including the best directions to find the accommodation. Thank you

This studio apartment is in a great location, close to all the shops and restaurants. There is a long stay car park just behind the property, but I would recommend using the car park provided at the home. The council car park is very busy. The property was clean and very basic, with a pull down bed in the living room. The bed was comfy enough. The area is very hilly so you need to be quite fit to walk up and down the hills . The views from the property are amazing, I could sit at the window all day looking out to sea, listening to the waves. I would definitely choose to stay here again in the future.

A delightful flat with mesmeric views over St Ives.

Absolutely loved our stay in Flat 2. I totally agree that it probably has the best views in St Ives. The flat was clean, well equipped and very comfortable . The position was excellent, just five minutes walk from the beaches and great restaurants but far enough away to be quiet and peaceful . The only noise we could hear was the wonderful sound of the waves crashing onto the beach below.
Mary responded very quickly to all my questions and the information provided was accurate and useful.
My husband and I had a memorable three night break here and can not wait to visit again.

This is a perfect base from which to enjoy the sights and sounds of the seaside and to explore St Ives and the surrounding area. The flat is well-appointed and comfortable with plenty of hot water. Most memorable of all are the views in all directions as you eat or relax. We returned feeling truly refreshed and hope to return.

It was a short 3 night stay in a convenient location approximately 5 minutes from the quay at St Ives.
There was a council car park just a 100 yards away, reasonably priced.
The flat was clean and tidy on our arrival and the bed was comfortable.
We had no occasion to use the cooking facilities as we frequented the local restaurants of which there were many. Some restaurants were undergoing renovation before the seasons really starts but there was still plenty to choose from.
Overall a very enjoyable stay with a fantastic view.
4.0 / 10.0
Fantastic views of St Ives from flat 2, worth the steep climb up from the seafront! Comfortable flat for 2. Would recommend!
4.0 / 10.0
The property was clean and simply furnished with everything we needed provided. We were a little puzzled initially by the fold-up bed which was neatly incorporated in the storage unit! However once we had found it, we discovered it was quite comfortable and we loved sitting up in it in the morning watching the sun come up over the bay. The views from the large bay window were fantastic which was the main reason why we selected the property in the first place.
