About this house rental
Year after year people return to Cornwall for the beautiful sandy beaches, idyllic coastal towns, stunning scenery and fine local food. More than any other town in Cornwall, St. Ives boasts all of those treasures and more. Within walking distance of Bay View are four beautiful golden beaches looking out onto azure blue water. A long time favourite with artists St. Ives is home to the Tate Gallery and many smaller galleries. The train station at St. Ives links with the mainline at St. Erth but many will make the journey to experience the stunning coastal scenery along the line. In town there is an excellent selection of restaurants and pubs offering superb local cuisine and foods for all tastes and budgets. Stretching out from St. Ives you can walk for miles along the Coastal Path. So if you want to enjoy all that St. Ives has to offer there is no need to move your car. Bay view is located in a quiet residential location just 10 minutes walk from the main town and beaches. If you are feeling lazy you can always take the small town bus which stops just outside. Next door to Bay View is a very well stocked local store for all your provisions. The nearest large supermarket (Tesco) is on the outskirts of town a few minutes drive away. Bay View has been designed as an upside down house (bedrooms downstairs, living accommodation upstairs) to take in the views of the ocean and provide a wonderful open plan social space, incorporating kitchen, lounge, dining and kids corner, a room where everyone can be together and enjoy the ambience of this special space. With vaulted ceiling, exposed beams windows to three sides and 8 remote controlled Velux windows the room is light and inviting. When the sun goes down the Lutro remote control lighting system creates the mood you choose for your evening’s entertainment.

Fantastic week in St Ives. House was spotlessly clean, plenty of space for 6 adults and 2 kids. Hosts were friendly, hugely accommodating and responsive. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great base in St Ives.

Excellent hosts.

The weather was not so good but having such a wonderful place to stay more than made up for that. The walk into St Ives took about 15 minutes and even up and the down steep paths my sister managed it with a replacement knee. Would definitely recommend property and location to others.

needed a rental property for our stay whilst in St Ives for a family wedding. So glad I found this property. Spotlessly clean & so big the pictures don't really do the property justice. Ideally situated to walk down into St Ives (about 10 mins) but must admit we were a bit lazy & did get taxis back up the hill. Good communication with owners will definitely recommend & hopefully visit again soon

Thank you for the "loan" of your house which we found to be well equipped, comfortable and which became our "home" for three nights in early March 2024.
The youngest of our group was 10 months old and just walking. A stairgate at the top of the stairs would have been helpful, but we improvised.
Her 2 year old big brother loved the space.
We achieved our aim and the almost continuous rain cannot be blamed on the house or our hosts. Thankyou

The property was very spacious and clean. Very convenient having the shop next door too.

Visited with friends in November. The property is amazing. Lovely layout and excellent inside and out. A short walk from the centre (downhill) so made use of the great taxi service to head back uphill at the end of each day! Everything was seemless from start to finish & communication was excellent. I would definitely recommend this property and would certainly stay here again.

Everything a family could need for a stay in st Ives. House was immaculate. Washing machine and dryer very handy. Good to have the spar right next door. Beach and town only a short walk but down a very steep hill but in the summer the buses go all the time so we didn’t have to climb back up the hill
5.0
Lovely stay in St Ives with the family August 2023, the property was perfect for us and we did spend 3 nights eating in after full days on the beach which were made very relaxing by the open plan upstairs layout of bayview. Would 100% recommend the property.
5.0
We all loved our week at Bay View, a light and spacious house, tastefully decorated. The artwork on the walls and soft furnishings created a cosy ambience. The upstairs open plan living area and contemporary kitchen had plenty of room for everyone. And the whole house was spotlessly clean and in pristine condition. We couldn’t fault it.
A great place to stay in delightful St Ives!
5.0
This property had every amenity for our stay in St Ives for a family wedding which meant we could travel packed light. Comfy beds , very clean , spacious and well equipped . The owners really have thought of everything . Ideal to be located next to the shop. We would highly recommend this to friends and family and will no doubt return ourselves in the future.

We stayed for five days we knew where the property was so there were no surprises, until we arrived the upside down house as the grandchildren called it was jaw dropping the light and airy lounge diner kitchen area was vast, with great skylights that made it seem like you were outdoors they were open all the time we were in as the weather was smashing. The bedrooms were large with adequate storage for clothes. The bathrooms were large and again the grandchildren loved the spa bath in the main bathroom. All in all a great property. If you can’t manage the hill there is a bus service passing the door although we did not use it.

The house is absolutely beautiful. The location is awesome. VERY close to the shore with absolutely gorgeous view of Swanpool Lake and the beach. There is nice restaurant and outdoor cafe 100 to 250 yards away. Also a beautiful paved coastal trail into the Falmouth harbor and another Coastal pathway trail the other direction, The house was clean and spacious. Quiet area and host provided fresh flowers, bread and breakfast scones. We absolutely recommend staying at the house.

The house is lovely, and has views of the sea from the upstairs. Its very spacious and has everything you could need for a home from home self catering holiday. It is close to beach and harbour of St Ives only 15 minute walk. Was uphill on the way back which kept us fit, but not suitable for everyone. The shop next door is very handy but the front bedrooms do suffer from noise early in the morning. Overall though we had a lovely time and would definately recommend a stay.
5.0
Fabulous week at this lovely house. The layout is brilliant, and very well equipped. You are literally right next to a Spar shop, which is very convenient. So please that Michael and Eileen were very accommodating and helpful. Would recommend to anyone wanting a reasonably priced stay in St Ives
5.0
A mere 10 minutes away from the beach and 15 or less to the town, this house is a great to stay. With modern features and cosy additions you feel very much at home already. The property is based on top of a hill so preferably for those with strong legs… if not the taxis services are cheap but may be fully booked at times so decide wisely. Very much would recommend.

Such lovely accommodation to rent! As a family it was great to find somewhere suitable for all of of us to be together for the weekend. 6 adults and 1 baby.
The house was lovely and warm when we arrived, everything was beautifully presented, there was a high chair and cot to use, the bedding was great quality, comfy beds! Parking space outside for 2 cars and we had 2 larger style cars.
The large open space upstairs meant we we could all be together at all times. I could have easily slept on the sofas they were so comfy!
The kitchen was well equipped and the bonus of a utility room!
The area was quiet, probably different in the summer, the bus literally stops outside the door if you don't fancy the walk back up the hill!
Spar shop right next door was very handy but not good for buying extra treats!
We didn't get to sit outside as the weather was pretty rubbish and going through the bedrooms to get ther might be challenging at times.
But we loved it and will be back again.
The hosts were always in contact and very accommodating - Thank you!

We had the best stay at Bay View. The house is lovely and was clean and tidy. It felt like home away from home with everything you need and more. The location is superb. Michael and Eileen are the best hosts and we will definitely stay in Bay View again whenever we go back to St. Ives.

We loved our stay at Bayview and the view from the bright window space. We thought the upstairs living space was wonderful bringing everyone together. The convieniece of being so near to St.Ives 10 minute walk was so easy. Loved it !
4.0
This property is certainly worthy of a stay and for us, great value for money as the home was certainly large enough for us as a couple plus 2 other adults and a baby. The interior is well maintained although a little dated in places. Outside space is lacking in terms of immediate scenery and greenery, but the owners have used the space as wisely as possible. A short walking trip into town with a slightly longer uphill return … good for the heart!
Lovely communication with the owners who have done their very best to make everything go as smoothly and happily as possible. Thank you.

This is an ideal holiday home. The owners have built this property with so much love! We're definitely coming back soon! The beach is only a 10 minute walk away and the Spar next door is just an added bonus.

I recommend to everyone

3 friends from Australia stayed here for 10 days using it as a base to do 9 day walks along the SW Coast Path - couldn’t have been better. Great place - spacious, clean, all amenities. And while a bit of a walk back from centre of St Ives it was not onerous and let us walk off all the good food and drink available. Highly recommended.
5.0
Bay View is in a residential area so a short walk away from beaches and harbour. Down hill on the way to the amenities but an up hill treck heading back. We took a taxi most evenings after walking back in the day..... once a day was enough! The house is perfect. Everything you want is provided and it is spacious and very comfortable. The hosts, Micheal and Eileen, were very quick to respond to questions and very kindly let us check in early on arrival which was a bonus and very much appreciated. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There is a Spar next door which is very useful but if you are in the bedrooms at the front it can be noisy with the deliveries and early customers with car doors slamming etc. That said it didn't spoil our stay.
5.0
Love the property, especially the opened plan in the leaving area being on the 1st floor with beautiful view. Short walk to town and beach, although it is a good exercise going back, as the house is up hill. But still love it. The Owners were wonderful and prepared the house for us earlier, which was really lovely to get ourselves settled and rest after a long 5 hours drive. I would recommend this property 100% and would definitely rent it again when back to St Ives.

Our family group were in St Ives for our daughter's wedding. Ages 32 to 88. Ideally located to walk to the various venues and all the taxis know how to find it as there's a wonderful, well stocked, Spar store next door.Our only negatives were that all the double beds are just the smallest standard double size and the only way to the back garden is through one of the bedrooms. All minor issues as everything is high quality, well equipped and beautifully decorated.

Visit to St Ives
The property was first class in every respect. Having parking space for two cars was a bonus. The accommodation was spacious with a large room upstairs and the bedrooms downstairs were a novelty. The location was ideal for visiting local beaches even if the steep climbs back were challenging. The outside patio area was ideal for an afternoon tea in the sun.
