Outside Space
The Beach House is enviably located in the midst of the Gwithian Towans (Towans is an old Cornish word for dunes!) and has completely unbroken views of St Ives Bay. There is a generously sized terrace accessed through the sliding doors in the living room with plenty of room for outside dining, enjoying a cold one, soaking up the sun or perhaps just watching it set over St Ives.
The house also has a very large secure storage area for Paddle Boards, Surf Boards and all other beach paraphernalia as well as a very well located outside shower to hose off those sandy feet or children returning from the beach!
There is ample parking for 4 cars should it be needed. Two spaces right outside the front door, and two more, clearly signed just a few metres along the track.

Ground Floor
There is a fully equipped kitchen and diner which has been carefully designed for the needs of a large group of guests. There are 2 x 6 ring hobs (Gas and electric - please use the electric one first as delivery of supplies is much simpler!) 2 double Miele Fan ovens, a built in Miele Microwave and an integrated steamer. There are a whole world of cooking vessels, 2 dishwashers, boiling water tap, waste disposal contained within the double sink as well as all the crockery, glasses and cutlery and utensils that you could ever need. There are 3 fridges, one tall fridge freezer and smaller fridges built into the island which is designed for 10 people to sit at once and to take advantage of the view.
There is a Nespresso Coffee maker, with a small complementary supply of pods. A tide clock on the wall will remind you what time the fun starts!
The open plan living room has two L-shaped sofas as well as separate chairs in which to sit and take it all in. There is a large log burner for those winter warm ups. The house is however fully heated by underfloor heating throughout and so the fireplace is an aesthetic extra really! Here you will find a large picture frame TV with SKY TV and access to all the apps that you may need.
There are Bluetooth speakers throughout the house to hook up to your favourite sounds or podcast.
The lounge seating area gives direct access onto the terrace by way of either the French doors, or the bifold sliding doors. In Summer opening these doors up really gives you the feeling of being on the beach. There is very little between you and the sea! There is a large patio table with seating for 10 as well as a Weber barbeque. Lighting and outside speakers will help make even more of those wonderful Gwithian sunsets.
There are a selection of family games to help pass the time should one of those Cornish showers show itself…
There are 2 large ensuite bedrooms that can be found off the entrance hall. The beds are Super King size, and no expense has been spared with either the very high quality mattresses or the bedding. A good night’s sleep is more or less guaranteed. No need for the relaxation apps playing the sound of the sea – you have the real thing. Wardrobes provide all the storage you could need for your stay, there are elegant contemporary dressing tables, full length mirrors and hair dryers in each bedroom. There are many sockets throughout the bedrooms and the rest of the house, most of which have multiple USB ports for that vital gadget recharging!

Upstairs
Again from the living room, a staircase gives access to a stunning mezzanine living room. Situated in the eaves of the house, a massive picture window is perfectly positioned. There are sofas here for 6 people at any one time, and deliberately nothing to distract from the stunning view. There are 2 Velux windows should you want the sound of the waves to accompany you. The mezzanine room also has our library of books which should have pretty much something for everyone. If you know how, it also has a secret…. Hidden within the book case is a secret door which gives access to the ensuite master bedroom. Something to please both young and old!
The master bedroom is built into the eaves of the house. It has a superbly crafted and bespoke double bed built into bedroom furniture again providing massive storage, a huge TV (with separate Sky TV should you want to watch your own thing) another library of books and a stunning ‘Juliet’ balcony Velux which gives amazing views over the golden sand below.
