Overview
Property code: OC-AQUA19

Aquarama is appropriately named due to the beautiful blue waters of St Ives bay with sweeping uninterrupted vistas of the whole of the bay across to Godrevy lighthouse being the main attraction here. The apartment is well-suited for couples with a kingsize bed and has been beautifully decorated to a high standard throughout, with large bay windows by the dining area offering magnificent sea views overlooking Porthminster Beach.

Uniquely situated on The Terrace, an elegant row of period houses leading into the town centre, Aquarama sits above the pristine blue flagged Porthminster Beach and is especially convenient for those arriving by train on the picturesque St Erth to St Ives branch line connecting from the London to Penzance mainline. The harbour, restaurants and shops are just moments away and The Tate St Ives, a ten minute stroll. With one bedroom Aquarama is perfectly suited to couples.

The apartment is on the first floor with a stylish open plan lounge/diner. There are two sofas, a Smart TV, Bose Bluetooth speaker and feature electric fire. The dining area seats four and is wonderfully positioned next to the large bay windows where you can enjoy the stunning views that the property has to offer. There is a compact but well-equipped kitchen area with electric oven and ceramic hob, microwave, fridge, Dolce coffee machine, dishwasher, washer/dryer.

This is nice accommodation in a perfect location, with a lovely view over Porthminster Beach and very close to everything in the town. The flat is well stocked with good provision of everything you would want in the kitchen in particular. For this reason, we were returning customers. However, I wasn't impressed with the inflexibility of the bookingRead more policy which insisted on charging us a substantial fee for increasing the length of our stay (not otherwise changing dates): needless to say, we did not extend our stay!

The property has stunning views and is very well equipped. The parking is on the station car park and it gets very full, also the walk up with cases and bags is challenging so travel light. There's a Co-op just a short walk down the road and plenty of places to eat.

Beautiful views, lovely to sit and read or have breakfast by the window, and a great location. It's on the first floor up stairs. Parking is limited at the train station cost about 28 for the week which is good, if you come by train it's ideal. You get one set of towels for the week so make sure put them to dry after use!

A beautiful little apartment for 2 people. Very well equipped, spotless and a perfect location, stunning views overlooking Porthminster beach and less than 5 minutes walk to the town. Convenient parking over the road at the train station. I would suggest paying for 7 days if you are there for more than 2 nights which allows you to leave and reparkRead more. Would definitely recommend and rebook. Hide
