Nestled in the heart of Downalong, one of St Ives' most sought-after areas, is this charming seaside escape. Just 100 metres away, the picturesque harbour front beckons, while the golden sands of Porthmeor Beach (100 metres) and the contemporary allure of the Tate St Ives (200 metres) lie within a short stroll. With an array of shops, eateries, cafes, galleries, and museums at your fingertips, this apartment is a gateway to the vibrant essence of St Ives, making it a prime choice for those seeking a car-free holiday. Whether you're savouring local delicacies, exploring cultural gems, or simply soaking up the coastal vibes, it serves as the perfect base for your Cornish escape.

Access to the apartment is via two sets of stairs – one external and one internal – adding to the property's unique character. Beyond its contemporary appeal, you’ll find charming features that add a touch of warmth and character. Exposed beams and double-height ceilings infuse the space with a rustic charm, creating a cosy ambiance reminiscent of traditional coastal cottages. Style effortlessly meets comfort in the open-plan living area which stands as the centrepiece, equipped with modern amenities to ensure your culinary needs are met. The main bedroom offers a double bed, side tables, and ample wardrobe space for a clutter-free environment. In addition, there’s a bunk bedroom with practical storage solutions. Completing the ensemble, the bathroom is contemporary and inviting.

Although this property doesn't offer outdoor space, you're merely a short walk of 150 metres away from the Wharf, where you can relish the outdoor environment. There's nothing quite like enjoying a freshly baked pastry and a takeaway coffee while sitting on a bench, gazing out over the harbour.

Cottage was comfortable and had everything needed for a self catering short stay. Nice location but only in quieter months, as wouldn't like this property in the heat or busiest time of summer in St Ives.

Nice cottage in a very central location, clean and plently of kitchen equipment, but do bring everything you might want in terms of consumables - Loo roll, salt, pepper sugar etc.
