Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Saint Ives Bay

Fantastic place to stay. We came as family with a toddler as well grandparents and both families dogs and it was perfect for us. Easy to get to the beach and costal path. Stunning views. Great location for seeing things - loved getting the train from st. Erth to st. ives. The house itself was super practical. Loved the outside shower and cleaning facilities for us and the dogs after getting sandy on the beach. Lots of books that our toddler loved reading and playing with the toys. Just great. Richard was an amazing host and really accommodating to our needs. A very special holiday.

Comfortable, thoughtfully provisioned, spotlessly clean and modern fixtures. Couldn’t hope for any better. Thank you

What an incredible 5 days, the balcony studio truly delivered. Breathtaking views over the harbour and surrounding areas topped off with luxury accommodation. The place was spotlessly cleaned and brilliantly maintained. Coffee tea and milk ready for arrival companies by welcome bubbly. Would highly recommend anyone to stay if you get the chance BEST SPOT IN ST IVES

The location is perfect right on the beach and you can walk into the Harbour in minutes, the only downside is parking but we managed to park on the island car park. Lovely views of the sea from the rooms and the place was clean, had everything we needed would definitely book again.

A nice place to stay in St Agnes and was walking distance to the beach

Great stay in an excellent location, would highly recommend :)

I spent a lovely few days at Alan's place in St. Ives! I'd highly recommend it for anyone who's looking for a central location close to the sea and so many great restaurants, shops, and cafes. St. Eia wine bar/cafe was such a treat and 1 minutes from our doorstop. The house itself was so charming and decorated beautifully.

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

Loved the quirky nature of the property and the location is fantastic- so close to the restaurants and attractions of St Ives. A bit of a walk uphill taking our bags to where we’d been able to park, but hardly surprising in a town like this! Staff at the hotel, as well as Georgia, were very friendly and helpful. Thank you!

What a great find! We’ve been visiting St Ives for many years and happened to notice Anna’s place when our daughter decided not to join us and we looked for somewhere new. Absolutely beautiful accommodation, which exceeded expectations and completely spotless. Everything you need for a totally relaxing stay including some special treats waiting for us on arrival. The photos matched the accommodation perfectly. Great kitchen, really comfortable bed, excellent bathroom and shower, great living room with a smart TV for when you need it. Easy to walk into town and back. It is uphill but from Porthmeor beach takes about 12 minutes to get up and 8 minutes to get down. So many restaurants and bars to choose from. Lovely walks and great scenery. If you’ve not been to St Ives before you must go, and if you’ve are looking for the perfect accommodation then this is it. Oh and did I mention the garage - great for parking the car and essential in St Ives as parking is not easy.

Lovely place! Great location.. bit steep up the hill but still quite quick to and from the beach. Great views, helpful host thank you :)

We had the most amazing weather for our stay. Two of us shared the apartment. We discovered various steps to take us to town. The cab to the flat from the station was only £6 and well worth it on the way up! We really enjoyed The Sloop Inn and a restaurant called Silko on the quay St Ives. The best coffee by far was Mount Zion. The flat was really quiet and the beds comfortable. The Spa was really great and the views from the Spa Hotel were great. Lunch there was v tasty and the staff were sympathetic.

Just back from a lovely stay at this cute apartment. We found it very easily and it was perfectly placed at the back of St Ives so easy to drive to and from without getting involved with tiny cobbled lanes. Still only a short walk (albeit up a hill) down to the town and harbour. . Liked that we could drop all our gear off before moving car to car park. Vanessa gave us good advice about where to park. There was only one fault which the owners can’t do anything about and didn’t worry us and that is the seagulls. They loved sitting on the roof and then splattering the back yard. There is a hose and brush but we were always out and about so never bothered to sit there. Would definitely like to stay again.

My wife and I had a marvelous one week stay in this cosy and tranquil condo with panoramic views of gorgeous Carbis Bay and easy access to public transport, including the local rail service that runs between St Ives and St Erth just five minutes walk downhill. Spotlessly clean and well provisioned, with a huge light filled kitchen featuring newer appliances, and one of the bathrooms conveniently located downstairs. It was such a pleasure staying in a place reflecting pride of ownership and professional management, creating a thoroughly enjoyable guest experience. The master bedroom mattress was a bit too soft for us, but we seem to be the outliers based on reviews. Highly recommend.

From start to finish our stay was absolutely amazing. The view is every bit as good as the pictures. We were there in June and the sun didn’t set until 9.30pm, drinks on the patio were a nightly thing while we watched the tide come in as the sun went down. The apartment is pretty much at the top of a reasonably steep hill, but even with my knee problems I managed to go up 2 or 3 times a day. As you walk up the hill past the Seiners Arms (great pub, good food with beautiful patio). you can see Perranporth Beach in its entirety. Absolutely stunning. The town has everything you need like a Co-Op, Launderette, pubs, restaurant, beach / surf wear shops. Things do shut down earlier than we expected (around 9pm) but it was June so not peak season yet. The apartment is spacious, you come in through the back door into a large kitchen with all the appliances etc that you’d need. 2 bedrooms, a large lounge with TV. I thoroughly recommend this place. Hannah was an exceptional host too.

What a fabulous location, with the harbour view from the living room, just like the photos! And really quiet. Easy to walk anywhere in St Ives. We were there for a wedding. The venue was 7 minutes walk one way, and the reception 10 minutes in the other. For those not familiar with St Ives, take walking shoes - it’s hilly, with narrow uneven streets. Great place, highly recommend.

We had a lovely week in Emily & Matt's flat. We liked that you can walk into town but also to Fistral beach & quieter areas. Great views - I enjoyed relaxing, reading in the bay window. I treated myself to swim & breakfast at Headland hotel (special offer).

Lovely apartment with fabulous views over Carbis Bay and St Ives. Everything that we needed for a restful and relaxing holiday, very tastefully fitted out, and well appointed place to stay. Becky and Alex made sure we were settled in and had everything we required. A perfect few days away. Thank you.

It was close to the beach, but it was nice that it was quiet. There were a lot of stairs in the house, so it was a little difficult to go up and down with luggage, but there were 2 bathrooms and it was clean, so it was a satisfying trip! Thanks to you, it was a fun trip.

Jody and James were the perfect hosts ♥️ They were very responsive and went above and beyond with suggesting places to see and do. The flat exceeded our expectations and the location was accessible as it was only a few minutes walk from the train station, shops and beaches . It was clean, well supplied and nicely presented with well thought out interior decor. Definitely good value! Will definitely rent with Jody and James again if we get the chance to come back to Cornwall.

We were lucky enough to spend seven days in Beth's beautiful apartment. Now we say goodbye with a smile and a tear in our eye. The tear in our eye says "time to say goodbye," even though we don't want to leave just yet. The smile in our eye expresses our enthusiasm for our stay. We received a warm welcome; we lacked nothing. Beth has thought of everything. The apartment is a dream. And so is the view from the terrace. You could spend hours there, unwinding and watching the hustle and bustle on the beach. If you don't know Perranporth, you should definitely visit this little town. But even if you want to come back again, you should let this accommodation convince you. A big thank you to Beth and Mark.

Jenny was extremely helpful and the apartment was amazing as the first time we stayed, we can't wait to come back already!

The cottage was excellent. It was spacious and very well laid out. It was super clean and Hannah had left fresh flowers, biscuits tea and coffee for our arrival. It had a lovely garden with table and chairs for when the sun shone. The heating system and hot water worked extremely well for when it was cold and wet. The cottage is located up the hill out of St Ives. We used to walk down which was 15mins max and get a taxi from the rank outside the cinema on the way back which cost a fiver….. no brainer 😜 I would certainly recommend Hannah’s cottage and I’m sure we will go back at sometime in the future. Many thanks Steve & Jan

was a lovely place to stay a short walk to the beach. Diana was extremely helpful! we all love it
