About this house rental
Coastguard House is part of an iconic terrace overlooking Porthminster Beach. Sleeping eight, with uninterrupted views across St Ives Bay to Godrevy Lighthouse. The harbour, shops, restaurants, galleries and Tate St Ives are only a short walk away. On-site parking for two cars with an electric charging port makes this the perfect family getaway. Situated off Treloyhan Avenue it is reached by a private lane. This four-bedroom Victorian house provides spacious comfortable accommodation and the views are simply amazing. A great extra for guests is the use of two Harbour Hotel Spa passes, perfect for a relaxing stay.
The light and airy dual aspect lounge, with original floorboards, provides plenty of seating. It has a large over mantle wall mounted TV with DVD and PS Games Console. The kitchen/diner is well equipped with gas hob, double oven, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. The large eight place dining table is perfect for a family get together.
Coastguard House has four good size bedrooms. There is a double bedroom with ensuite with shower, wash hand basin and WC on the ground floor. The remaining three bedrooms are located on the first floor. The master bedroom has a superking bed with en-suite and views across the bay (for those who have to work, a desk is included). The en-suite has a bath with shower over, wash hand basin and WC. Two further bedrooms are also located on this floor. Both these bedrooms offer great flexibility with zip-link beds offering either two single beds or a king bed. There is an additional family wet room on this floor which has a shower, wash hand basin and WC and a separate WC located on the ground floor.
The enclosed courtyard is great for alfresco dining with table, chairs and BBQ. A large outside shower room which is perfect for rinsing those sandy toes and hanging up your wetsuits and a large laundry room which is fitted with washing machine, tumble dryer, a butler’s sink and plenty of space to air clothes with a traditional pull down airer.

Really comfortable house, large sitting room, incredibly well-equipped kitchen, plenty of bathrooms, and good beds. The house overlooks St Ives Bay, and from the windows is that world-famous view of the harbour! It's only 10 minutes walk into town and to the harbour. We chose this property for a winter holiday as, even if the weather was terrible, the views would still be stunning and full of interest. As it happens the weather was beautiful, and we had a wonderful week. The only disappointment was that all the wine glasses and some of the water glasses were really dirty, which was probably down to the previous holidaymakers not washing them properly, but also should have been checked by the housekeepers. Hence 4 stars, sorry, but I felt doubly nervous about this because of the pandemic.

The property has beautiful views of St Ives Harbour and easy access to Porthminster Beach. It was tastefully decorated throughout but there is a shortage of mirrors so come prepared if you like to apply makeup in the mornings! The property is also very well equipped. The dishwasher was broken when we arrived but was fixed within a day or two. Advice to all visiting this house: bring loo roll and soap with you for each of the four loos. Only one loo had soap and toilet paper when we arrived and, as a family of seven who had travelled from Kent, this was less than ideal, not least because there are no shops within quick walking distance. We just wish we had known in advance so that we could at least have been prepared. The check in at 5pm is a bit late really too. The house was cleaned by 12 noon but we had to hang around in St Ives in the rain with my 80 year old parents for 5 hours waiting for a property manager to inspect the cleaning to check it was up to standard ... and that was a tad disappointing since we were told that they would try to get us in earlier than the new 'Covid' 5pm arrival time. This property is not cheap at around £2.7k for the week so not being allowed in until 5pm on a Thursday (so not on a busy Saturday changeover date) felt a bit 'unnecessary' - after a very long journey ... (only to find no soap and toilet roll in three of the four loos!!! Did I mention that?!). Despite all of the above, we absolutely LOVED our stay here and the property management contact, Meg, was always quick to answer queries that we had, so we never felt abandoned once we had actually entered the property!
