About this property
Waves End is an impressive, 1870’s townhouse perched on the Cornish coast of ST Ives, offering the perfect seaside escape. With its stunning sea views, hot tub and close proximity to a beach and local amenities, guests can enjoy an idyllic holiday surrounded by the beauty of St Ives, whether it’s a getaway with friends or a family holiday. Step inside and you'll be greeted by an open-plan living space, the heart of the home showcasing the sea views, where you can whip up some delicious meals in the fabulous kitchen to enjoy around the dining table or curl up on the sofa in the sitting area for a movie night. If you like to break away now and then, there is an additional sitting room, perfect for winding down in the evenings with a good book. Finishing off the ground floor is a handy utility where you can freshen up your wardrobe throughout your stay. When it's time to rest your head, Waves End has four beautifully-appointed bedrooms - a super-king-size boasting unbeatable sea views, 2 king-size and a twin - 3 of which have a TV so you can enjoy lazy mornings with your favourite shows, one of the king-size rooms has an en-suite for added convenience. To freshen up, there is a bathroom and a cloakroom on the first floor, as well as a handy ground-floor shower room so there is plenty of space to get ready for a day of exploring. When the sun is shining, make the most of the beautiful Cornish weather in the enclosed, split level terrace; soak in the hot tub, dine at the outdoor furniture, or simply sit and enjoy your morning coffee in the courtyard. St Ives is surrounded by sandy beaches and this picturesque traditional fishing village is set around an arc shaped working harbour, with cobbled streets filled with shops, cafes, and art galleries; the Tate and the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden is a popular choice where you'll discover a collection of contemporary pieces to admire. If you want to explore the local wildlife and amazing coastal setting on foot, the South West Coast Path heads towards Zenor in one direction and the Hayle Estuary and Carbis Bay Beach in the other. It also stops at Carbis Bay, as does the scenic railway, which follows a similar stunning coastline journey. Carbis Bay Beach is a magnificent sandy stretch of gold, with azure-coloured ocean lapping its beaches. This slice of paradise is lifeguarded during peak periods, making it ideal for experiencing the water activities on offer. Away from the beaches, a night out at the open air theatre near Land's End, The Minack, will last in your memory for a lifetime, with its dramatic setting on the edge of a Cornish cliff. Wandering through Cornwall's glorious gardens, including the rainforest walkway at the Eden Project, near St Austell, should delight, and for the ultimate selfie, a shot of the sun setting over St Ives or St Michael's Mount, set on its own island near Penzance. For a welcoming home in a prime location, choose Waves End.
One of Cornwall's prettiest harbour towns, St Ives offers narrow streets, tight-packed cottages nestling around the quayside, the Tate Gallery and Barbara Hepworth museum, fabulous beaches, superb shops, a thriving community of artists, great pubs and restaurants and much more. With its semi Bohemian lifestyle and romantic air, it's easy to see why this is the county's premier holiday resort. The surrounding area has much for the visitor to see and do with abundant wildlife, fabulous coastal walks, top quality surfing and the Celtic mysteries of the Land's End Peninsula are all within easy reach. A superb destination!
