St Ives has a coastal charm that’s hard to replicate, where places like Porthminster and Porthmeor sit between golden beaches, turquoise waters and a lively harbour scene. It’s a town where the sea is the main focus, from early morning swims to evenings watching the light shift across the bay. Our collection of St Ives cottages by the sea includes everything from luxury coastal cottages tucked along narrow streets to contemporary sea view apartments with stunning ocean vistas. You’ll also find quaint beach cottages close to the seafront, alongside a range of self-catering holiday homes for couples and families, located right at the centre of this much-loved Cornish destination.
