Beachfront vacation rentals in Porthtowan

An extremely enjoyable weeks holiday helped massively by extremely good weather. The property's location was ideal for our purpose as we were able to walk to the town and avoid using the car. On arrival we received a friendly welcome from Vanessa which extended to practical help as the car was slightly too long for the parking space available. Vanessa immediately made alternative parking arrangements just a few minutes walk away which we were able to use throughout the holiday. We would certainly have extended our stay if we were in a position to do so.

Our second stay at Julia’s, apartment is fab, really enjoyable, perfect location, beach is so close with lots of bars and restaurants accessible on foot. Loved it, looking forward to our return. 😎

A lovely, quirky place in a great location - I don’t think you could get a better location in Mousehole. The relationship with the Children’s book’The Mousehole Cat’ gives it an exceptional history. The house was cosy, comfortable and well appointed with high quality bathroom toiletries. We enjoyed our stay here and would certainly stay again and recommend it to others.

Absolutely stunning! spent a week here and it's the loveliest little spot, small but perfectly sized for 2 and a dog. Absolutely lovely host, left little treats for us on arrival and had recommendations in the area but also not intrusive. The cottage itself is perfect, so homey and had everything we could need. we used the log burner every evening while playing one of the board games provided and it was so cozy and nice. The area is absolutely wonderful, beautiful views, path right down to the beach, and so many lovely walks right of the door, we did the majority of our daily outings as a straight walk from the cottage and watched the sunset from the beach each night. the photos really do not do this place justice, it is truly absolutely stunning and we would LOVE to return !

Beautiful apartment in a stunning location. The apartment was exactly as described and looked in the photos. Immaculate, high quality finishes and appliances. Beds are super comfortable, with enough space in the apartment for 4 adults or family. Location is ideal to not use or need a car, as its located beachfront, next to restaurants, bars and the South West Coast Path for scenic walks. Darren was so easy to communicate with, giving recommendations, tips and quick response times. couldn't fault at all.

Clean apartment and great location. Host was very accomodating with early check in and out. Highly reccomend

We had an amazing time for the short time we were staying. It was a beautiful home. The beach was beautiful and an easy short walk into the town. We will def book and stay again!! Thank you!!

The apartment was beautiful and immaculate, Darren and Niamh are so friendly and helpful and have thought of everything to make a stay in Watergate Bay perfect. They gave us lots of recommendations of things to do and places to go, they all lived up to their promise. Watergate Bay is well situated for easy access to some stunning walks and beaches. I’m looking forward to my next stay at The Waves, I highly recommend it!

We loved our stay here. The apartment was perfect for us - a family of 4 with 2 teens. There is so much to do on the estate - the pool and leisure area were great for rainy days. It was amazing to be able to walk to the beach and enjoy the cafe as well as being able to hire SUPs and wetsuits. Melanie was a great host and was really flexible in letting us change our arrival day (twice!) as well as enabling an early check in. There's loads to do in the area. Highly recommended!

The flat was spotless clean and very well decorated. Perfect location for a walk into town and also a stroll to Gylly beach. The view from the window was a delight when opening the curtains in the morning. one thing to note is the flat is a top floor and there is no lift. we never used the Falmouth hotel for swimming or gym but we did find that the bar was a perfect place for a drink on the way out\way back. Would love to stay here again. Never had to contact Nicola during the stay due to no issue's, however we did receive regular updates from Nicola. perfect holiday thanks you Nicola.

We absolutely loved our stay at Mary’s beautiful home. It exceeded our expectations the location was incredible, only a short and beautiful walk into the town. Next to the best beach. Every room was very clean and had everything we needed. Mary was very help helpful and quick to respond to any queries. Would highly recommend. Made a special birthday just perfect.

It was so lovely to arrive ,open the door and be wowed by the place , it was comfortable and clean and Susanne had left some nice treatsfor us .she was available to contact for any questions and very friendly ,i would definately recomend her

Demelza 4 was a real find, the whole place was spotlessly clean. A welcome pack of tea, coffee, biscuits, crisps, fudge, and milk was waiting in the kitchen which was a lovely touch. The lounge and dinning area are large with stunning views of the Helford Passage harbour though huge double aspect windows, you could spend all day there just watching the world go by. There is a large wet room shower in the bathroom and plenty of towels provided. The kitchen has a washing machine, tumble dryer, and dishwasher and has all you would need to self cater. The large shared garden again with the fantastic views has tables and chairs for each let (there are 4 holiday lets together) plus individual BBQ's. From the garden there are steps though a short tunnel and you are on the beach, 20 yards from the Ferry Boat Inn, great food! Very quite at night, just fall asleep listening to the sea. Would I stay again ABSOLUTELY, LOVED IT, LOVED IT LOVED IT

We had a lovely four days at Maenporth Estate. Lovely pool and jacuzzi. very friendly staff. apartment had everything we needed and only 5 min walk doen to the beach. Melanie very quick to respond to messages and provided helpful info. Excellent all round.

Everything was as described by Anna, the Surf Shack was spotless and very well maintained. Anna's communication with us was brilliant since the beginning. The "welcome package" was a nice touch and the Surf Shack has everything you need for a lovely holiday. Essentially we used this place as a base to explore Cornwall, and even though the weather wasn't perfect with a few rainy and windy days, the truth is that we made the most of our time, always with something different to do and explore each day. The local mini-market and entertainment, the play areas and the beach also add extra value to this place. For us travelling with 2 kids, the Surf Shack was definitely a good choice and the kids didn't want to leave it! The only thing that could be improved are the bed mattresses, which could be more comfortable. Otherwise, nothing more to say except that we loved it. Thank you for having us!

Marcus's place was great for our visit to Cornwall. The apartment was very clean and in a nice building. Within walking distance to lots of restaurants and two beaches. When we got lost during check in Marcus was available over phone and he called us again later to make sure we got in okay. Very friendly!

Great apartment, a stone’s throw from the beach. Seashells has everything you need for a relaxing family trip. Jenny’s place is clean, well designed, with a well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, board games, good options to eat out nearby and a view of the sun setting over the sea. Memories made and smiles all round! 🤩

We honestly loved it. For a family of 4 with two small kids the location was spot on. Next to The beach and the cutest little park (plus pub ;) it was the dream. The properly itself was perfect for a beach break with a lovely little outside space. The host was so helpful and came back to us very quickly on any questions we had. Will be back again next year - thanks a lot

This is the view found only on postcards and movies, and to have it right at my fingertips was the treat of a lifetime. Light bright compact space with all I needed, and the blackout curtains were helpful. Even with the teaming summer hoardes shuffling by underneath, my space felt like private retreat. I even sang along to the evening buskers. Super clean and easy to access, the laundry was a bonus. I’m already planning a return trip. Perfect spot for solo female travelers.

Spacious flat with absolutely beautiful view. Friendly and responsive hosts and lovely and clean place, with lots of space for our 4 person family. Parking space is a bonus and very convenient. Thanks for making my 40th birthday so special! We love this part of Newquay and have stayed at Crest Court (in various airbnbs) for 5 years now every May - it’s great.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Anna’s cliff top chalet. It is set in a perfect location and was clean, tidy and as described. The perfect spot for a couple of quiet nights away! 😃

We would stay here again in a heartbeat! Best location and probably best view in Newquay. Nothing like sitting in the window alcove looking down at Towan Beach. Very convenient to the shops and a big bonus for us: had its own parking space. Loved every minute at Island View.

What a gem! The upper beach house is a fantastic find with the most wonderful scenic view to look out to. The house is spacious, homely and full of all the amenities to feel home from home. The outdoor terrace is a wonderful spot to relax and enjoy the view of the beach. With just a one minute walk to the beach and costal path, the location was perfect. Gareth was a great host, responsive and clear instructions. A brilliant stay!!

Very comfortable house with cosy lounge great sofa and amazing TV. Great views and Porthtowan is an amazing unspoilt place. It’s a steep but short walk to the house. Outdoor seating area provides great views. The shower is great and the bed linen lovely.
