About this property

Amelia’s Point is a beautifully-presented duplex apartment overlooking the stunning Porthminster Beach in St Ives, Cornwall. Stylishly converted, this welcoming, idyllic homestay for up to six guests is perfect for family, friends and couples seeking a coastal getaway. This three-bedroom, split-level Cornish apartment boasts a contemporary luxury interior on the second and third floor of the original Chy Albany hotel. Park in your allocated space in the parking facilities. From the rear courtyard, head up internal stairs from your private entrance to the hallway, leading you into the light and airy open-concept living area, tasteful with ocean hues and artwork. Here, you can relax on the plush sofas, gather around the dining table with good food prepared in the well-equipped kitchen. The views around the bay are fabulous, spied from the picture windows and balcony, a lovely sunspot. Two of the three bedrooms, with super-king, zip/link beds for extra flexibility are on the lower floor alongside the smart family bathroom. The master bedroom on the second floor offers a king-sized bed, private balcony, 180-degree sea views and an ensuite shower room. Within a short downhill walk, Porthminster Beach is breath-taking, with crystal waters and golden sand. Dip your toes, take a big splash or enjoy a surf or bodyboard. Explore the scenic South West coast path, spying birds and wildlife along the way. Porthminster Beach is host to superb restaurants, and the supermarket is close by for provisions. In St Ives, you'll find four fabulous beaches for water sports, surf lessons and swimming. Board a boat from pretty Harbour Beach, for fishing or leisure. Characterful twisty lanes have an abundance of independent shops for gifts and lots of galleries to browse, including The Tate Gallery and Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden. Treat yourselves to a Cornish Cream Tea or pasty! Restaurants and traditional inns offer the Catch of the Day and worldwide cuisine alongside local ales. A short car ride away, breath-taking St Michaels Mount in Marazion, historic Pendennis Castle in Falmouth and dramatic Lands’ End are worthy destinations. Amelia’s Point makes the most perfect holiday haven for your Cornish escape.

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!
