Welcome to The Tide House, one of St Ives’ most prestigious and sought-after holiday homes. Perfectly positioned in the heart of this iconic seaside town and just 50 metres from the beach, this exceptional property offers a rare combination of luxury, space and location that is almost impossible to find elsewhere.

Sleeping up to 16 guests across six beautifully designed en-suite bedrooms, The Tide House has been thoughtfully created for larger families, multi-generational gatherings and special celebrations. Every room has been finished to an exceptional standard, blending contemporary coastal elegance with the comfort and practicality needed for larger groups.

The generous living spaces provide plenty of room for everyone to gather together, whether enjoying a celebratory meal, relaxing after a day on the beach or planning the next day’s adventures around Cornwall.

The bedroom layout is particularly flexible, with two of the bedrooms featuring mezzanine levels with additional single beds, making them ideal for children, teenagers or extended family members.

Recently enhanced with a new charcoal barbecue and a large outdoor dining set seating up to 10 guests, it’s the perfect space for long summer lunches, relaxed evening meals and quality time spent together after a day at the beach.

One of the property’s most valuable features is its private parking for 2–3 cars — an incredibly rare luxury in central St Ives. Once you’ve arrived, everything is within easy walking distance, from the golden beaches and picturesque harbour to award-winning restaurants, independent boutiques, galleries and cafés.

Guests can spend their days exploring the cobbled streets of St Ives, visiting the Tate St Ives and Barbara Hepworth Museum, taking boat trips around the coastline, surfing, paddleboarding or simply enjoying one of Cornwall’s most beautiful beaches just moments from the front door.

Local Area

We’d love to share with you some of our favourite things to do locally, in the village and beyond… Some things that you won’t find in any tourist brochures!!

St Ives is one of Cornwall’s most iconic coastal towns — famous for its golden beaches, turquoise waters and creative, laid-back energy. Whether you know it for its surf, its art scene, or its postcard-perfect harbour, St Ives offers a holiday experience that feels both vibrant and wonderfully relaxed.

The town’s heart is built around its picture-book harbour, where fishing boats bob gently with the tide and narrow cobbled streets lead you through a maze of independent shops, boutique galleries, artisan bakeries and excellent restaurants. From fresh seafood to modern bistros and traditional Cornish pubs, St Ives offers a fantastic variety of places to dine, many with beautiful sea views.

St Ives has long been associated with the arts, and visitors can immerse themselves in its cultural side at Tate St Ives, the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, and countless independent studios. The town’s natural light and dramatic coastal scenery continue to inspire artists from around the world.

The beaches here are among the best in Cornwall. Porthmeor is ideal for surfing, Porthminster is perfect for families with its calm, sheltered waters, and Carbis Bay offers soft sand and gentle swimming — even home to its own Blue Flag status. The South West Coast Path links these stunning bays together, offering spectacular walks and panoramic viewpoints.

Beyond the town itself, St Ives is perfectly placed for exploring West Cornwall. The nearby village of Zennor offers rugged granite cliffs and legendary folklore; Hayle provides miles of sandy beach stretching toward Gwithian and Godrevy Lighthouse; and the open moorland of Penwith is dotted with ancient stone circles, engine houses and iconic Cornish mining heritage. St Ives is also within easy reach of Marazion and St Michael’s Mount, as well as the lively streets of Penzance and Mousehole.

Whether you spend your days wandering galleries, relaxing on the beach, or discovering the wild beauty of the Cornish coastline, St Ives offers an unforgettable blend of natural scenery, culture and coastal charm — a truly exceptional base for a holiday in Cornwall.
