Mermaids 2 - Vue mer, accès direct à la plage

A former ship's captain residence that sits directly on Bamaluz Beach, this stunning two-bedroom property within a five-story house is in one of the most sought-after locations in St Ives.

Light-filled, laid back and utterly gorgeous, the cottage's interiors have superb sea views on show from every angle. A mix of decorative porcelain tiles and oak floorboards gives an authentic beach house feel, while carefully chosen soft furnishings, wall art and occasional pieces add to its comfort and character. The living area's seating is positioned to make the most of the outlook. Two sets of French doors in front of a long Juliet balcony are perfectly designed to be opened on summer days, or to offer the perfect vantage for watching winter storms roll in from the Atlantic.

Open to the sitting room, a chic kitchen has all guests need for effortless entertaining, with a dining area alongside for pre-beach breakfasts or suppers after a day on the coast. The cottage has two beautiful bedrooms, including a lovely lower-ground-floor master bedroom with exposed beams and a fabulous window seat. Off the landing on this floor is the secret doorway leading outside to the spiral wrought-iron staircase that descends to the beach, where turquoise water tempts sea swims and soft sand invites sunbathing and relaxation.

For coastal escapes with excellent beaches, food and shopping, St Ives is a dream, and this holiday home rests mere metres from it all. Bamaluz Beach is quieter than the town's bigger beaches and allows dogs all year round. The Harbour is literally a stone's throw from the front door, while Fore Street's restaurants, delis, bakeries and galleries are no more than a five-minute walk. Neighbouring Porthgwidden Beach is three minutes on foot, and Porthmeor Beach and Café, along with the Tate St Ives, is around six minutes.

Mermaids is a five-story home which can be booked as two individual holiday cottages, Mermaids accommodates parties of up to 10. Mermaids 2 is the lower half of the house and is kept completely private from the upstairs property, when booked on its own.
