The details

Perched right above the golden sands of Bamaluz Beach, Mermaids is the kind of coastal retreat that makes you feel connected to the sea from the moment you arrive. With spectacular views across St Ives Bay, a fabulous outdoor terrace and one of the town’s most enviable locations, this stylish seaside townhouse offers an unforgettable stay on Cornwall’s beautiful north coast.

Originally a ship captain’s residence, the property has been thoughtfully transformed into a contemporary coastal escape where days are spent drifting between beach, harbour and terrace. The sound of waves below, the salty sea air and ever-changing ocean views create a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere that immediately encourages you to slow down and embrace seaside living.

Inside, bright and airy living spaces have been designed to make the most of the exceptional setting. Gather with family and friends for leisurely breakfasts before a day of exploring, return from the beach for lunch overlooking the sea, or spend evenings dining together as the sun dips towards the horizon. Large windows frame the bay beyond, constantly drawing your attention back to the water and filling the home with natural light.

Sleeping up to ten guests, Mermaids offers generous accommodation spread across multiple levels, making it an excellent choice for larger family gatherings, celebrations or group getaways. The layout provides plenty of room for everyone to enjoy time together while still offering peaceful corners where guests can retreat and unwind. Stylish bedrooms provide comfortable places to rest after long days spent exploring Cornwall’s coastline, while modern bathrooms ensure comfort and convenience throughout your stay.

One of the highlights of the property is undoubtedly the sea-view terrace. This is the perfect place to start the day with a coffee while watching the tide roll in, enjoy a lazy afternoon in the sunshine or gather for drinks as fishing boats bob gently in the harbour below. With the beach quite literally on your doorstep, it’s easy to wander down for an early morning swim or an evening stroll along the sand whenever the mood strikes.

The location is exceptional. Bamaluz Beach sits directly below the house and welcomes dogs all year round, while Porthgwidden Beach is only a few minutes away on foot. The harbour is just moments from the front door and the restaurants, bakeries, galleries and independent shops of Fore Street can all be reached within a short stroll. Art lovers can visit Tate St Ives, walkers can follow the South West Coast Path and beach lovers will be spoilt for choice with several beautiful stretches of sand nearby. This is St Ives at its very best.
