Waterfront holiday rentals in Cornwall

This is the view found only on postcards and movies, and to have it right at my fingertips was the treat of a lifetime. Light bright compact space with all I needed, and the blackout curtains were helpful. Even with the teaming summer hoardes shuffling by underneath, my space felt like private retreat. I even sang along to the evening buskers. Super clean and easy to access, the laundry was a bonus. I’m already planning a return trip. Perfect spot for solo female travelers.

This was the best place we stayed all holiday. The location is incredible, just steps from Bamaluz beach, with amazing views and the sound of the waves coming right into the house. We loved sitting on the balcony and watching all the dogs playing on the sand, and it was only ten minutes walk to all the main beaches in St Ives. The flat had everything we needed for a comfortable week’s stay. An absolutely perfect base for a beach holiday.

The stay was great it was in a good location. It was a 5-10 minute walk down to the bus and train station and 10-15 in to town and restaurant. The place had what we needed for our stay. Emma also had a folder with all the information you need for our stay and helpful recommendations for things to do and places to eat. If you needed anything else Emma was just a message away and was very helpful. Will be back again

Lovely spot just a walk from the beach. The outdoor balcony space was welcomed when the sun was shining after a long day walking. We had everything we needed! Rachel was great with recommendations and quick to respond if we had any questions or needed anything

Amazing location just above the beach, with a lovely view from the window. Had everything we needed for a short stay in St Ives - well equipped kitchen for cooking our own supper and an easy stroll to the restaurants in the centre of St Ives. As the photos make clear, the bed is a loft bed which may not be suitable for those who have some mobility issues or aren’t comfortable climbing up a steep ladder.

We absolutely loved staying at Charlotte's place! The loft was very spacious, extremely comfy, and well-equipped. A parking spot is provided. Charlotte lives on the property as do her two sweet pups and some very sociable chickens who tended to greet us when we walked to our car each morning. The location is great, very quiet and peaceful, but a quick drive to the center of Falmouth where there are lots of shops and wonderful restaurants. Trebah garden is only a few minutes away by car and is outstanding. Charlotte is very kind and welcoming, and a super responsive host. We couldn't have asked for anything more and truly enjoyed our stay at the loft. I highly recommend renting this property.

Had a wonderful stay at Kerrie's place - the perfect location for a truly Cornish experience without the extra miles travelling to the normal tourist hotspots. The two villages have everything, well stocked shops, perfect coffee shop and deli, bakery, ferry service to the Barbican, pubs that do great food. The overall experience of Kingsand and Cawsand is how friendly everyone was. We ate at the Devonport and Cross Keys and had fantastic quality food. Took advantage of the sourdough pizza (Monday nights from the bakery - booking advisable). We had drinks at The Rising Sun and The Bay (loved the entertainment at The Rising Sun on Saturday Night. Took a walk to Rame Head and also St Edgecumbe House which are both approx. 3 miles in opposite directions along the SW coast path. The accommodation was just right for the two of us , very clean, superb location and well equipped. Will definitely rebook. Our little dog refused to come off the beach on our last day, he loved it so much!

Its a perfect little place for 2 in an absolutely beautiful location....the views from the flat are amazing and St Mawes has everything you need.....our new favourite place ❤️

Comfortable, thoughtfully provisioned, spotlessly clean and modern fixtures. Couldn’t hope for any better. Thank you

Had an amazing few days in Porthleven - house was amazing, especially that sea view and a huge bath! Literally steps from the beach and a 10 minute walk to the heart of the harbour and amazing restaurants. Parking on the drive with our family car was doable but a bit tricky. Thanks for a great stay!

absolutely stunning place in the beautiful moorlands. Very private, close to the river and lots of horses, sheep a cows nearby. The garden is huge and the kids(and grownups) loved it. Great facilities, well equipped kitchen. Wendy was most helpful and very quick to respond. We might well make it an annual trip.

This home is amazing, and pictures do not do it justice. It is very clean and very, very comfortable, right in the heart of the sweetest Cornwall village, Cawsand Beach. The views….. takes your breath away. Seriously. The sound and smell of the ocean are healing, and to sit there and watch the natural beauty is a big part of the experience. Once you’re there, you only have to step outside the door to be on the path to all the pubs, shops and walking paths around the area. Amanda was an excellent host and we appreciated every kindness she extended to our family. This vacation in this location will be hard to beat. We left with heavy hearts as the locals embraced us with the same amazing kindness. I would recommend this experience to anyone that appreciates an excellent home in the middle of a magical part of the world—a step back in time and a chance to reset in a stunning location. Thank you, Amanda! We will never forget our stay in your beautiful home.

As a family of 4 the property was ideal, it had all the amenities required for our 4 day stay. The property is stunning, so tastefully furnished and decorated, it is in a prime location with stunning sea views. Its location is great for strolling into Penzance and a short car journey to local sites, such as the Minack theatre, which is well worth a visit as well as St Ives. We were luckily enough to meet Lenn during our stay, he knows the area well and gave some great suggestions as well as being a great host, we found the property easily and followed Lenn’s instructions to a tee, we would recommend Lenn and Gord’s beautiful property, and was very sad to leave it to come home, a stunning find x

A gorgeous house within walking distance of Hayle beach. The house was brilliantly appointed and was very comfortable. Gorgeous views over the estuary enhanced our stay. Annie was a great host - very responsive and informative.

I can honestly say that this is one of the best AirB&Bs I've stopped in. It was perfect in every way - spotlessly clean, well-equipped with everything you could possibly need, spectacular views from the two small balconies, and ideally located for all the action around the harbour area. In terms of location it's on the hillside of West Looe, which affords fantastic views, but in terms of walking down to the harbour and back there are a lot of steps or sloping roads/footpaths, so be prepared for this (or drive down). I met Martin a few times and he was great to chat to, very friendly, and was able to recommend a few very good pubs. Overall I cannot recommend this property highly enough.

Beautiful place! Would 100% stay again! We requested decorations to be put up for arrival as it was my mams 50th birthday. We sent decorations but they weren’t put up when we arrived. We spoke with Malcolm about this and he came straight over the next morning to do this while we were out and left some beautiful cupcakes, helped us rectify the heating as it was very hot, and was available at all times when we needed! Beautiful place! Very local to lots of shops and very close to the train station: beautiful views!

Great location for a visit to Penzance and surrounding areas. The hosts could not have been more helpful and friendly. The home was perfect for a couple visiting for a short break with lots of nice restaurants and pubs rear by. I will definitely want to return.

We had an incredible stay at this apartment right by Fistral Beach. The views were absolutely stunning waking up to the sound of the waves and watching the sunset from the window was unforgettable. The apartment was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was ideal just a short walk to the beach, restaurants, and shops, yet peaceful and quiet in the evenings. We couldn’t have asked for a better base for exploring Newquay. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

Smashing wee place with great access for walks around the area or just exploring Penryn itself and especially handy for cafes, takeaways restaurants and good pubs. It was nice to return to somewhere I'd been before and see how it had improved since 1979!

It was such a lovely stay, very cozy yet spacious place. The view is great as well and we loved the patio for fresh air. Also close to all transport links saved so much time. And lastly Kerry was so quick to respond made it very easy to communicate, thank you!

This is a fabulous and comfortable apartment from which to explore Newquay and Cornwall. With water views, a great open plan living, dining and kitchen space and a generous bedroom, it had everything we needed for a 7 night stay. The hosts were welcoming and generous. This is one of the best bnbs we have stayed in.

Very clean and comfortable apartment with amazing views, great location and easy to find. We loved our stay here and would definitely recommend!

Mevagissey on the south Cornish coast was a little gem. A fishing harbour with huge tides, lots of shops, bakeries, and restaurants . The flat was compact clean and had good kitchen and laundry facilities. Perfect for a couple to explore the town or further afield. The ferry to Fowey was a highlight as was walking the harbour and streets. Location was a joy and we’d have no hesitation to recommend!

Such a lovely break. Good communication from hosts, all the information you need. Beautiful location and would definitely stay again. The hosts went above and beyond providing all the cleaning materials, toilet roll etc. As they say beat views on Newquay and we all had a fabulous stay and would will definitely book again.
