  • Stylish harbour-side townhouse with parking and just a brief walk from Portreath’s fabulous beach and the South West Coast Path
  • Perfect for any party of four with three bedrooms, an open-plan living space and games room
  • Walk the coast path and explore must-see Cornish locations – you’re halfway between St Ives and Newquay
Property code: OC-C30852

Overlooking one of the two tidal basins within Portreath’s picturesque harbour, this contemporary townhouse is just moments from the former fishing port’s soft, sandy beach. A perfect base for surfers, swimmers and walkers, the village has a selection of local shops, coffee stops and pubs that will take the hard work out of any self-catering stay. Portreath sits at the heart of the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site and between St Ives (17 miles) and Newquay (19 miles). Follow the South West Coast Path to nearby Porthtowan (4.5 miles) for spectacular views, and further on, St Agnes has a must-see headland and sheltered beach. Closer to home, Redruth (2.5 miles) was once a wealthy centre of the copper mining industry and today is home to a vibrant arts scene. Hire a bike and cycle the ‘mining trails’ close to Portreath's various woodlands or drive the coast road to Godrevy Point to see, 3 miles offshore, the octagonal white lighthouse tower that inspired writer Virginia Woolf. For the golfers amongst you, Tehidy Golf Club is nearby and can be used by visitors by contacting the club. 

Immerse yourself in coastal life at this stylish three-storey townhouse. Freshly updated for 2025, it’s located only metres from the harbour wall, offering a front-row seat as the Atlantic tides ebb and flow. Park, grab your bags and step through the porch into a hallway with a door leading to a games room with a multi-activity table (table tennis and pool), plus a handy laundry area. The shower room on this ground floor is great for washing off the sand after a day on the beach. On the first floor, the open-plan living space is a social hub and a place to cook, dine and unwind in comfort. A Smart TV provides home-from-home entertainment, while the Juliet balcony allows a flow of fresh air and fabulous harbour views. Perfect for storm watching or catching a lovely sunset at the end of a busy day. When it’s time to retire for the night, there are three bedrooms on the second floor – one king-sized room with far-reaching coastal views, and two single rooms. Close by, a family bathroom ensures comfort for all.

The parking space directly outside your front door means you can explore Portreath at your leisure. For a breath of sea air, the rear courtyard garden has picnic bench-style seating and a gas BBQ.

We really enjoyed our stay at Cober Cay - the location was great and being able to park right outside a definite bonus. The property was immaculately clean and obviously well cared for. All communication was easy and stress free and we would definitely stay again next time we visit our family nearby. The Portreath Bakery was also a little gem with Read moregreat coffee and pasties!

Great location, a lot of places within 30mins drive. Pool table a fab addition. Unexpectedly quiet location. More than enough kitchen supplies for us over the stay and the welcome pack was nice. Lovely views in the morning.

Nice well appointed place in lovely location. Everything we needed and all necessities on doorstep without the need to drive anywhere if we didn't want to. Great value for money would recommend.

Great location near a great beach (and bakery!). The switch for the shower was broken when we arrived but the owner fixed it first thing the next morning and communication was good. The kids loved having the pool table. We found the mattress on the double bed too hard for our taste but otherwise nothing to complain about.

The house is very handy for the lovely beach and coastal path. There is surf equipment hire and plenty of pubs and cafes nearby. We had some good food locally. The house was clean with a nice bright living room and its right on the inner harbour so you can watch the tide coming and going. The pool table in the garage was useful.
