We loved the large open plan design. Everything you could want was provided. Would definitely book again Only small issue was parking. The neighbouring parking slots tended to park too far over making it impossible to use our allocated space on occasions.

It's a wonderfully clean, spacious, and comfortable apartment which has everything you need to make coming home to it each day an absolute joy. Praa Sands is a wonderful place to spend time in itself, but is also wonderfully located to explore Western Cornwall with so many must see destinations, from picturesque towns and villages to amazing beaches, just a few minutes drive away. Contact with everyone involved was always quick, professional, and friendly and the whole experience from start to finish was excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend Ocean Blue on every level - it's a great value for money base in a lovely location. It's highly likely that we'll be returning one day. Thank you Ocean Blue!
