About this property

Salt House is a stunning, luxury property that has been uniquely designed to provide extremely spacious holiday accommodation, with designer furnishings, beautiful sea views, feature bathrooms and private, landscaped gardens. As soon as you walk into Salt House you are wowed by the panoramic ocean views in front of you through the floor to ceiling glazed doors that make up the entire seaward wall of the house. This exclusive retreat is within walking distance of St. Ives, one of Cornwall’s prettiest harbour towns, with its cobbled streets, boutique shops and iconic galleries, as well as several beautiful white sandy beaches that line the coastal path around to Carbis Bay. This modern home exudes style, making it the perfect holiday destination for discerning guests including large groups, family and friends, and a location with the wow factor for any special occasion.

This unique coastal property has been designed to provide complete privacy whilst enjoying the constantly changing beautiful sea views from all living spaces, including two 40’ balconies and the fabulous, landscaped terrace garden. The panoramic sea views are magnificent, sweeping across St Ives Bay to Hayle Towans taking in Godrevy lighthouse. Every thought has been given to allow the sense of complete peace and tranquility as you relax in this well-appointed home from home.

Salt House has everything that discerning holiday guests could wish for on vacation, including a modern, high-quality kitchen and fine tableware to serve a perfectly positioned dining and living area, which allows everybody to socialise and relax whilst taking advantage of the mesmerising sea views. Music can also be streamed through the integrated surround sound music system to add to the ambience. The Snug allows a further, separate intimate space to escape to and snuggle up on the sofa to chill out, enjoy a favourite book or film, or challenge family and friends on the Playstation 4 Pro console.

All the bedrooms at Salt House are very spacious and enjoy stunning views over the beautiful, landscaped gardens out to sea. Designer furniture has been carefully chosen with comfort in mind and perfectly positioned to help enjoy the beautiful views from this private setting. The large feature bathrooms with freestanding baths and large, walk-in rain showers provide the perfect spot for pampering. A set of crisp white luxury bed linen and White Company towels and bathrobe are provided for each guest to enjoy during their stay. Salt House provides every guest a perfect getaway for that much needed holiday respite.

The Master bedroom is the epitome of luxury with a walk-in closet, dressing or study table and full-height glass bathroom wall allowing you to survey the views from the Victoria and Albert bath and rain shower. The spacious and unique designer styles of Bedrooms One and Two means they can also serve as second and third master bedrooms with stunning bathrooms and private balconies allowing guests to drink in the uninterrupted sea views out to Godrevy lighthouse. Bedrooms four and five boast super-king zip and link beds, each of which can be arranged as two single beds upon request, and benefit from a large modern family bathroom. Outside, the large, decked terrace and garden with sun loungers and dining facilities allow guests to soak up the warmth of the Cornish sun. The garden extends down two further terraces which have been grassed. A range of garden games are provided for your entertainment.

Salt House enjoys immediate access to the beautiful coastal path on Hain Walk that leads within minutes to some of Cornwall’s most beautiful white sandy beaches in St Ives and Carbis Bay. The captivating coast of St Ives is something very special. The pretty harbour town is surrounded on three sides by golden sandy beaches that gives rise to a unique phenomenon, the St Ives light, which is particularly stunning due to the reflective quality of the combined sea and sand. This lighting has drawn and inspired artists for centuries and is a big reason why St Ives is known as the creative capital of The Duchy of Cornwall. The stunning landscape can be discovered on foot, by car or boat, and a myriad of adventures await. For those who enjoy watersports, the area is fantastic for a range of surfing, kayaking, sailing, snorkelling, stand up paddle boarding and Hawaiian canoeing, with local centres arranging equipment hire and lessons.

St Ives is one of Cornwall's prettiest harbour towns with narrow streets, tight-packed cottages nestling around the quayside, the iconic Tate Gallery and world famous Barbara Hepworth Museum, fabulous beaches, superb shops, a thriving community of artists, great pubs and restaurants and much more. Several sea fishing trips also leave from the harbour daily. With its semi-Bohemian lifestyle and romantic air, it's easy to see why this is Cornwall’s premier holiday resort. With something to offer visitors all year-round including food and music festivals, art and cookery classes, Christmas markets and the legendary new year festivities and fireworks displays.

The surrounding area in Cornwall also has much for the visitor to see and do with abundant wildlife, fabulous seaside, coastal and cliffside walks, the unique cliffside setting of the Minack theatre, the Celtic mysteries of the Land's End Peninsula and Great Britain’s most southerly ‘Lizard point’, are all within easy reach. Cyclists can choose between the Cornish Way and the First and Last trails, and golfers will love the West Cornwall Golf Club. The nearby Geevor Tin Mine offers a fascinating insight into Cornwall’s mining heritage. A superb destination!
