White Crest

About this property

Stay at this beautiful modern apartment in the heart of St Ives, the pretty Cornish town popular with artists and surfers. It’s in an enviable spot just 0.5 miles from the shimmering shores of Porthminster Beach, where you can sunbathe, swim and picnic on the sand. The town centre, filled with restaurants, art galleries and shops, is also just 0.5 miles from your front door. And when you’re not out and about, you can watch the world go by from one of two private balconies that give you a bird’s-eye view of the surrounding area.

The property benefits from an open-plan living space encompassing a lounge, kitchen and dining room. It feels bright and airy thanks to large windows and white walls, with cheerful splashes of colour in the form of artwork, cushions and rugs. In good weather, slide open the doors to one of the two furnished balconies and extend your living space into the open air – fantastic for enjoying that morning coffee or an evening cocktail. You’ll have two cosy and hotel-like bedrooms – a king-size room with a luxurious en-suite and its own private balcony, and a twin that can be adapted to a super-king-size to suit your party’s needs.

There’s so much to do locally – the vibrant Porthmeor Beach (1 mile) is known for its great surf, or you can immerse yourself in the local culture at the Tate Gallery and the Barbara Hepworth Museum, both under 1 mile away. For scenic walks, join the coast path (1 mile) and follow it along to beauty spots like Clodgy Point (1.5 miles) and Porthzennor Cove (6 miles). Looking for day trip options? Just 8.5 miles away is the seaside town of Penzance, brimming with shops, art galleries and restaurants, or drive to other popular spots like Land’s End and Sennen Cove (both around 18 miles).
