Overview
Description
PLEASE NOTE: During the winter months we also offer the apartment on a one-bedroom basis using the courtyard bedroom with its king sized bed and ensuite bathroom with shower over. Full use of whole flat except for back bedroom and bathroom. Occasionally we can offer this option at other times too.Regrettably we cannot accept pets.
1 Porthminster Apartments is tucked away in a leafy corner at the top of Porthminster Terrace, on the east side of St Ives. This means you don't have to negotiate the narrow streets of the town. It's a fairly quiet spot, ideal for admiring the sea view from the front garden or enjoying meals and evening drinks in the courtyard in the afternoon and evening sunshine.
The apartment is situated on the ground-floor of a recently converted end-of-terrace Victorian house with a dedicated private parking space, which is easily accessed, right outside the apartment, between the front garden and the courtyard. It has a lockable parking post.
South-facing and sunny with a lovely sea view from the side bay window of the sitting room and from the front garden, the apartment is light and spacious, tastefully furnished and equipped to a high standard.
It has two bedrooms with comfortable beds. One bedroom has a king-sized bed, wardrobe and bedside tables; the other bedroom has twin beds, wardrobe and bedside tables.. Both bathrooms have modern, luxury fittings: one bedroom has an en-suite bath with shower over, WC & washbasin and an attractive courtyard leads from this bedroom. A separate large shower-room, washbasin & WC is next to the second bedroom which is quite separately located in the apartment. This provides considerable privacy - ideal for 2 couples or a couple with children.
We welcome babies and, if required, a travel cot and high chair is available on request - we hire baby equipment from our cleaning company and pass on the small charge at cost to our guests.
A well fitted and equipped, open-plan kitchen leads from the spacious sitting/dining room where you have attractive, comfortable seating, 40" flatscreen TV + DVD player, plus a lovely coastal view from the side bay window.
Facilities include: Welcome pack on arrival, free wi-fi, gas central heating/instant hot water, heated towel rails; duvets, clean fresh bedding and towels (1 x bath sheet + 1 x hand towel per person) are supplied and the beds are made up; washer/dryer, Bosch electric fan oven, gas hob with extractor, microwave, freestanding fridge/freezer, dishwasher; double glazed throughout, flat screen digital 40" TV in sitting room with Freeview, DVD player.
Outside there is a front garden for guests' sole use and this also enjoys the fine sea view, plus there's a separate westerly facing courtyard for visitors' sole use with a dining set to seat 4 people. The front garden enjoys a southerly aspect and the courtyard is west-facing - ideal for evening dining! The location is quiet and we ask visitors not to party or play loud music.
It's a short, 5-minute stroll to Porthminster beach, St Ives' bustling centre, pretty harbour, galleries, restaurants and shops. St Ives' other lovely beaches are all within walking distance too but please note: St Ives is hilly and the apartment is situated on a short but fairly steep terrace. The walk to and from the beach and the town also involves some steps and some steep walking at times.
Our apartment is cleaned by a professional housekeeping company whose staff have been trained to carry out exacting cleaning and disinfecting protocols in order to minimise cross infection. This training includes Covid-19 risk management.
Please note: we ask for a 25% reservation deposit on booking, plus a £250 damage deposit (£150 for the 1-bedroom option) to be paid with the balance (due 6 weeks before arrival). The damage deposit is normally refunded within a week of your departure, assuming no damage.
Our accommodation is available for weekly lets during peak times, plus short lets off season.
We only accept bookings from families and/or couples. We do not accept bookings for student groups, single sex parties or hen and stag parties unless by prior written arrangement.

Leave ReviewExtremely clean and comfortable
By Sarah on 12-Apr-2025lovely stay at Lauren's flat. exactly as described extremely clean and comfortable. multiple beautiful sandy beaches within walking distance and convenience of co-op five minutes walk. St Ives charming, recommend day trip to lost gardens of heligan. definitely more to explore another time ️
Our stay was delightful!
By Sanchia on 04-Apr-2025Our stay was delightful! The flat was warm and absolutely pristine as well as kitted out with everything we'd need and more. It's very close to the beach and the town, but very quiet in the evenings. The bed is super comfy and we slept so well. Lauran is a fabulous host - super communicative in the build up to our holiday and on hand if needed without being intrusive. Highly recommend stay!
Just perfect
By Emma on 22-Mar-2025Laurans place was just perfect , nice quiet spot but very close to town and beaches, parking and courtyard a big bonus , large spacious apartment with everything needed for a perfect stay. Will definitely be going back to stay
Amazing view of the water!
By Stephanie on 16-Mar-2025Perfect location and amazing view of the water! The apartment was perfect! Everything we needed and then some. Quick walk to the village/stores/restaurants. Much appreciated the dedicated parking spot. The bed was very comfortable and the living areas were relaxing. The shower water was nicely hot. There is a dishwasher and washer/dryer combo which is a nice luxury compared to other rentals. The binder with instructions was complete and super helpful since we are new to working some of the appliances in the UK. We had a lovely time and highly recommend! Thank you so much!
Beautifully clean and warm
By Clare on 24-Feb-2025Lauran really made this stay by her fantastic and friendly communication. She has by far been the best host. The flat itself was beautifully clean and warm for our arrival. It was exactly like the photo's, and the parking space is ample. I have a Nissan Qashqai. As anyone who knows St Ives, having a parking space just makes the stay SO much easier. I wouldn't hesitate in coming back. Thank you Lauren!
Absolutely lovely...
By Gary on 28-Jan-2025Absolutely lovely place to stay in St Ives!
