Beach house vacation rentals in Falmouth

We borrowed buckets and spades (and trucks and diggers) from the collection in the shed and took the short walk down to the lovely sandy beach most days. My granddaughter had heaps of fun playing in the shallow pools and golden sand in the sun. There were bodyboards too, but she's a little little for that just yet. Nanny was usually to be found observing us from the comfort of the Cove Cafe and admiring the wonderful vista - St Ives Bay in the sunshine (which is also the view from the house itself). The bravest of us swam in the chilly sea and returned invigorated, eyes sparkling. Suki charged about with energy and enthusiasm, greeting every other dog on the beach. We highly recommend this place. Notes: It's a flat beach, so the sea is very close a high tide and a long way off at low tide. Eating out in Cornwall is expensive. The house has a well-equipped kitchen and there is a Lidl and M&S Food Hall nearby if you are minded to eat in. The train St Erth<->St Ives is a nice option.

Before we had checked out, we had reserved for next year. A superb property, in a beautiful, quiet location, but is just 10 minutes walk away from bars and restaurants. 1 minute walk from a beach, next door to an historic ancient church and absolutely idyllic. Highly recommended.

Probably the nicest place we have ever stayed! Deserves more than 5 stars. The location couldn't be better to get straight out to lots of beaches, bars etc. St Ives streets are small and traffic is restricted 930am to 4pm on the street but outside these times we found it easy to unload then booked a parking space 10 mins walk away on JustPark. The view has to be seen, it's even better than it looks... when people stop at the balcony for a picture you know it's the perfect spot - and we helped take a couple of pictures for them from above! The best thing was having a nice glass of wine on the armchairs with the windows open and listening to the waves and watching the change in tides. Spa bathroom was unreal as was everything really. Already looking at dates to come back! We also enjoyed Johns Wine Bar, The Host (had great live music), Mor Beach Cafe for morning rolls and James King for beautiful St Ives jewellery. Thanks again David we loved it all!

As a family of 4 the property was ideal, it had all the amenities required for our 4 day stay. The property is stunning, so tastefully furnished and decorated, it is in a prime location with stunning sea views. Its location is great for strolling into Penzance and a short car journey to local sites, such as the Minack theatre, which is well worth a visit as well as St Ives. We were luckily enough to meet Lenn during our stay, he knows the area well and gave some great suggestions as well as being a great host, we found the property easily and followed Lenn’s instructions to a tee, we would recommend Lenn and Gord’s beautiful property, and was very sad to leave it to come home, a stunning find x

The most beautiful getaway. The views over the meadow to the sea and St Michael’s Mount are incredible any time of the day and we loved spending time on the terrace. Perfect location for walking, sea swims and east to get into town and explore the Cornish coast. The decor is also amazing with so much attention to detail. Will be back!

We had a lovely time at Linda’s cottage. Location is great easy walking to the main beach area with all the cafes. St Ives is pretty hilly so definitely earned a sundowner at John’s (head left down the street you can’t miss it). PLEASE take note of Linda’s instructions for drop off The Digey gets very thin we saw multiple cars get stuck at our front door and have to back out. Easier walk back from the car park it via the steps down by the beach. We had a great time both in St Ives and further afield. Very busy this time of year

Barbara's house is wonderful. It has a stunning view over Mawgan Porth beach and you can walk down to the beach via the dunes. Sitting on the balcony in the evening enjoying the view is a treat! The house itself is lovely - compact but it has everything you need. Barbara is a very responsive and helpful host. I would very happily stay again!

Beautiful house with sitting space in the well tended front and back gardens, quiet with wonderful views of the sea and the picturesque harbour. The house was well furnished and bright, the layout making the most of the views. It was comfortably warm, too and very close to lovely restaurants and coastal walks. A delight

Absolutely stunning location! The views are outstanding and the private access direct to the estuary/beach is great. The garden is steep but that’s to be expected, we made great use of the pool and hot tub and it was an added bonus that we could use the paddle boards! The house its self is beautiful and spotlessly clean. A few things do need sorting though, there was the odd missing door handle, bifold doors are hard to use and the master bathroom door didn’t close. However these didn’t bother us at all as everything else was perfect. Easy walking distance to Crantock and Fistral beaches, which were both beautiful. We would 100% book again! Thank you for a fantastic stay :)

Coastal path 20 minutes away, close to river Gannel. Which take you straight to Crantock beach where you can swim during low tide. David has everything you can need at his place. They have made it comfortable, cozy and feels like home once you get indoors. Our dog loved it as there was so much outdoor space.

We had the most fantastic big family holiday here! The property easily accommodated 9 adults plus a wee one, with the hot tub and the games room being great bonuses to add to our enjoyment. The whole house was brilliantly equipped with excellent furnishings both inside and out on the patio, had very comfortable beds and the cleaning products and soap etc were very much appreciated. Having the Londis shop so close was very handy and we enjoyed some delicious food at the Jam Jar cafe/pizzeria just down the road. Newquay is just a short car ride away with all the beaches, supermarkets and restaurants you could ever want. There just wasn’t enough time to do everything we would have liked to do…..so we will just have to come back again!! Thank you for an amazing property where we could all gather and enjoy such a memorable holiday.

Alan has provided clear details to reach the location and check in was easier. Place was clean and has all necessary amenities. No issues during our entire stay and we enjoyed the vacation.

lovely little cottage and great value place to stay. We walked into Falmouth and to the beaches during our stay and found the location to be very convenient.

We loved our family stay at William’s place! It was loaded with all the amenities that we needed. The kitchen was very well stocked. The heated pool was a great addition when the ocean was cold. The location was amazing…walk into town or take the Ferry across to Padstow for lots of great shopping and eateries. We would definitely stay there again.

Great place, new, clean and 10 minutes from the beach! Perfect place for my children 9 and 11 years old.)

Beautiful property with a lovely seaview. It has a fully functioning kitchen with all the utensils you could need and a very comfortable sitting area. The property was spotless and very tastfully decorated. Melanie was informative and sent us lots of suggestions. It was very easy to check in. When we arrived there were essentials in the kitchen which was very much appreciated. Would definitely recommend and looking forward to staying there again.

Lovely home located within convenient walking distance of Falmouth town centre. Anna was very accommodating of my group’s requirements and provided clear instructions to find and access the property. Flexible check-in via a key safe was a huge positive. Would recommend this property to any medium/large family or friend groups looking for a base in Falmouth for a holiday.

Corri’s cottage is fabulous, beautifully decorated with comfortable sofas and beds. Kitchen was kitted out with everything we needed to cook on the few evenings we didn’t eat out. Lovely garden with sofas/chairs to lounge on which we did get to enjoy despite some mixed weather. Mousehole is a perfect place to set off on some stunning costal walks which is what we spent our week doing. We also enjoyed dinner at 2 Fore Street, Mackerel Sky & the Tolcarne Inn.

This was the best Airbnb we have stayed at to date. We wanted a place for our family to visit and be together for the few days we were in Falmouth. It became apparent as soon as we got there the time spent in the property was going to be enjoyable and the way the property was laid out everyone could be involved in the celebrations at the same time. We will definitely be in contact again and will certainly recommend Ric's place to any of our friends if they ever want to stay in Falmouth.

Elliot and Becca's place is fantastic. It is really well equipped and beautifully decorated. The kitchen and dining area is spacious and comfortable, with separate cozy sitting rooms. Check in with a key in a lock box was easy, and the hosts were flexible about our late arrival. We had a super time and would love to stay again soon.

A group of friends and I went to visit Falmouth for a long weekend and had the best time staying at Christopher’s place. It had everything we needed and fit us all comfortably. Everything was easy to locate and had clear instructions and Chris was very helpful when needed. It was a lovely area close to the beaches and train station. Overall a lovely stay!

The accommodation was perfect and beautifully presented, hosts Marie and Jeremy were very welcoming and helpful although the house was so perfect we didn’t need anything, the garden was amazing and totally secure for Dudley our dog, all in all the house far exceeded our expectations, will definitely be booking again. Thank you

We enjoyed our week at Le Coin Perdu. The property is well placed to explore the whole of Falmouth and we were able to walk all around the town, visit pubs, shops and restaurants and walk to Gyllyngavase beach each morning. The property is as described and with views across the estuary. The kitchen is very well equipped. We have no hesitation in recommending this property. The welcome touch of daffodils and scones, jam, cream and milk was very nice: thank you.

This is a truly unique and incredible property, perfect for large families or groups. If anything, the beautiful photos in the listing fail to adequately capture just how nice the property and its idyllic waterfront setting are. Joanna’s home is a perfect base for enjoying the southern reaches of Cornwall, or just relaxing in the home itself and drinking in the scenery. Our group particularly enjoyed sitting outdoors alongside the water/coastal inlet, and watching the dramatic tidal shifts. The kids in our group absolutely loved the area: plenty of interesting things to see and do in the tidal flats, and enjoyed brisk swims when the tide was in.
