The details
Resting directly above the golden sands of Bamaluz Beach, Mermaids 2 is a truly special seaside escape where the sea feels like an extension of your living space. Occupying the lower half of a beautifully restored former ship captain’s residence, this stylish apartment combines uninterrupted coastal views, direct beach access and an unbeatable location in the heart of St Ives.
From the moment you arrive, it's the views that steal the show. Large windows and French doors frame the sparkling waters of St Ives Bay, flooding the interiors with natural light and ensuring the sea is never far from sight. Whether you're watching fishing boats drift across the harbour, admiring dramatic Atlantic swells in winter or enjoying a sunny summer morning with the doors thrown open, life here revolves around the ever-changing coastal scenery.
The open-plan living space is wonderfully sociable and designed to make the most of its exceptional setting. Comfortable seating is arranged to face the ocean, making it easy to settle in with a morning coffee, an evening glass of wine or simply spend hours gazing out across the bay. The adjoining kitchen is sleek and well-equipped, while the dining area is perfect for leisurely breakfasts before heading down to the beach or relaxed suppers after a day spent exploring Cornwall's coastline.
Sleeping up to four guests, the apartment offers two beautifully appointed bedrooms. The standout master bedroom sits on the lower ground floor, where exposed beams add character and a charming window seat provides another lovely spot to sit and admire the surroundings. The second bedroom offers flexible accommodation for family or friends, while modern bathrooms ensure comfort throughout your stay.
One of Mermaids 2's most memorable features is its direct access to the beach below. A hidden doorway leads to a spiral wrought-iron staircase that descends towards the rocks and sands of Bamaluz Beach, allowing you to be paddling in the sea within moments of leaving your apartment. It's the sort of feature that transforms an ordinary holiday into something truly unforgettable.
The location is equally impressive. Bamaluz Beach sits right below and welcomes dogs all year round, while neighbouring Porthgwidden Beach is just a three-minute stroll away. Wander a little further and you'll find Porthmeor Beach, Tate St Ives and the town's vibrant collection of galleries, cafés, bakeries and restaurants. With so much on your doorstep, you can happily leave the car behind and immerse yourself in the charm, culture and beauty of St Ives from the moment you arrive.
