  • Ideal for beach-lovers in search of the perfect holiday home, just a few steps from a private beach
  • Contemporary, three-storey beach retreat within walking distance of friendly local pubs and restaurants
  • Tasteful interiors that create a relaxing atmosphere on the Cornish coast
Property code: OC-S29979

Ideally situated in Duporth Bay, this three-storey retreat sleeps six people and is the perfect hideaway for small families or groups of friends in search of a stylish home-away-from-home while exploring the untamed beauty of the Cornish coast together. Spend a peaceful afternoon strolling along Charlestown Harbour (0.5 miles) – a stunning Georgian harbour that you may recognize from the TV show ‘Poldark’. Admire the beautiful tall ships and enjoy the museums. Or head to the iconic Eden Project (4 miles) to explore the massive biomes housing diverse ecosystems – from tropical rainforests to Mediterranean gardens. If you’re a beach lover, you’ll find sandy beaches like Carlyon Bay, Porthpean Beach and Duporth Beach just 1 mile away from the property, with the private beach Two Coves being a short walk downhill.

Park your car at the off-road parking spot in front of the garage, and head up the stairs to the first floor, where two of the cottage’s three bedrooms and a family bathroom await. Both bedrooms are comfortable and stylish doubles. The chic bathroom includes a shower over the bath. Make your way to the second floor and you’ll find a smart, contemporary-style kitchen, and the spacious master bedroom with an elegant double bed and an en-suite shower room. Upstairs again, on the third floor and you’ll discover a deceptively spacious open-plan dining/living area that offers wonderful views from the balcony area. After creating a delicious meal in the sleek kitchen, gather everyone to eat at the large dining table – there’s room for everyone. This space also includes comfortable corner sofas where you can catch up on your favourite TV shows after dinner.

In the morning, wake up and enjoy a fresh cup of coffee on the third-floor balcony. Kick off the perfect day by breathing in the sea air, and then make your way downhill to the accommodation’s private beach.

Not suitable for elderly as too many stairs, 45 from top to bottom. Next door neighbours very noisy & walls are thin

Immaculately presented property with everything you could possibly need, and well located for access to loads of interesting attractions and great beaches. The bifold doors maximise the impact of the view and balcony. All in all a perfect holiday

A fabulous home from home in a beautiful location. Spotlessly clean & well maintained, Shell Seekers was the perfect spot for our family holiday. The house comes equipped with everything you need for a relaxing stay & the Prosecco & biscuits were a great touch. The private beach just tops off the fabulous location & Charlestown harbour is just aRead more short walk away down a pretty lane. We had a fantastic week, thank you. Hide

We had a lovely stay at Shell Seekers! The house is extremely comfortable and well furnished. A proper home away from home. It definitely kept me fit going up and down stairs but we quickly got used to it. And well worth it for the beautiful views from the top floor! We would love to stay again in the future.
