About this property

Nestled in a sought-after location in Cornwall is this second-floor, luxury apartment in St Ives, The Boats. Offering a complimentary spa membership at The Peninsula Apartments, this beautiful apartment offers panoramic views of Porthminster Beach and St Ives Bay, plus easy access to the beach and attractions, a lovely spot for couples, friends and families alike! You'll find an underground, designated parking space for an easy arrival in this popular seaside town, with stair or lift access up to the second floor where a contemporary, coastal-themed interior awaits. Hang your coats in the hallway with solid walnut flooring where a handy utility has a washer/dryer for sorting sandy towels ready for tomorrow! Be immediately wowed by the panoramic sea views from the open-plan living area where double sliding doors lead onto the private, decked balcony with seating; a wonderful spot to sip a glass of wine at sunset. The owner has provided telescopic binoculars and a tripod to look out for dolphins and seals right from your holiday home! Alternatively, sink into the cream leather sofas where a 40" Samsung LCD TV with Sky TV provides evening entertainment, along with a selection of books and board games. Play your favourite songs on the Sony Music System with Bluetooth while you prepare home-cooked dinners in the readily equipped, glossy kitchen area; facilities include an integrated Neff oven/grill, ceramic hob, dishwasher, blenders, and a Bosch coffee machine. A stylish circular table with four walnut dining chairs offers plenty of space for four guests to savour their supper! When it's time to retire, freshen up in the spacious family bathroom and choose between two luxury bedrooms; the super-king-size with Egyptian cotton sheets, bedside lamps and a vanity mirror has gorgeous sea views with access to the balcony, and its own private en-suite bathroom. The second king-size bedroom has Egyptian cotton sheets, bedside lamps, and a Freeview TV to watch your favourite shows among the cushions. If you can tear yourself away, the Bohemian town of St Ives has plenty on offer from watersports, coastal hikes and cycling, to Tate St Ives, Barbara Hepworth Museum, and The Leach Pottery; you'll be spoilt for choice with cafes, restaurants and pubs! The bustling town of Penzance is a short drive away with a bustling promenade to stroll along with ice cream in hand, a variety of boat trips from the harbour, and Penlee House Gallery & Museum. Be sure to visit the impressive St Michael's Mount in Marazion, where a medieval castle and sub-tropical gardens sit just across from the sandy beach. For more spectacular, sandy beaches to surf and sunbathe, head to the likes of Hayle and Gwithian, where the cliffs of the National Trust's Godrevy offer unforgettable hikes. However you wish to spend your holiday, The Boats is a luxury apartment in St Ives you'll love returning to again and again.

St Ives is one of Cornwall's most charming port towns, with small streets, tightly packed cottages nestled around the quayside, the Tate Gallery and Barbara Hepworth museum, fantastic beaches, excellent shops, a flourishing community of artists, amazing pubs and restaurants, and much more. It's easy to see why this is the county's finest tourist resort, with its semi-Bohemian lifestyle and romantic ambience. With rich wildlife, wonderful coastal walks, top-notch surfing, and the Celtic secrets of the Land's End Peninsula all within easy reach, the surrounding area offers plenty to see and do for visitors. A fantastic location!

    Some of the light switch caps were not secure and kept falling off. ( lounge and master bedroom ) Only small things, but could end up being a problem. Certainly didn’t spoil our holiday in this beautiful apartment We have holidayed at the Peninsula apartments for over 10 years. Hayley and her housekeeping team always keep the apartments spotless. A big shout out to them. Hope to get back very soon.

    It’s hard to beat the lovely location and views. However usually when we arrive we get lovely welcome pack with local apple juice a cream tea etc but we didn’t get one this time which was disappointing because we always looked forward to it after a long journey .Also there was no tea or coffee provided this year so we couldn’t even make ourselves a drink when we got there . Also there was no soap in the bathrooms . Have you stopped leaving welcome packs and tea and coffee etc now ?

    It is jaded in parts and needing modernisation. For example - bathrooms are looking old with grout and shower door seals unclean, kitchen appliances not great, these are cheap enough to replace, and walls had poor touch up marks everywhere. Outside table was smeared and would not want to eat on it without a thorough clean. Bin in kitchen is horrible, nobody wants to touch a bin. Blinds were very dusty. Perhaps consider the cleaning contract. Would come back if apartment had an overhaul.
