Beachfront holiday rental in Porthleven

Wow - what an amazing place to stay! This is probably the most memorable AirBnB I have stayed in so far. You are right on the edge of the seafront and by the harbour, with the double aspect living room enabling you to see both - the sea views are just stunning. Margaret was a really friendly and communicative host, and the parking space is good. I would heartily recommend this as a great place to stay; it is just so special being able to look out and see the sea from bed, and to hear the waves lapping at the shore as you go to sleep or make your cup of tea in the morning.

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.

one word describes it, BRILLIANT, CLEAN AND EVERYTHING YOU COULD POSSIBLY NEED. Honestly, two minutes from a wonderful beach with cafe. Jenny and husband very friendly and helpful. Family came to visit us and were blown away at how much space we had and how clean and well equipped. Would recommend to anyone.

Modern spacious flat in a great location. The facilities were excellent and we appreciated the private car park. We would definitely stay here again in the future!

Sue is a great and attentive host and the Dinghy is a lovely cottage with great views and outside area. The cottage is very well equipped and you’ll feel at home very quickly. It’s a great location also for walks into and around the village.

We had a lovely couple of nights away with our Daughters, the apartment was very clean and cosy the views & surrounding area are beautiful. Mike was a great host.

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.

Me and my 2 kids adored our stay here! The most breathtaking views of the ocean and such easy access to the beach via the dunes. We shall definitely be coming back!

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

we had a truly wonderful stay at maenporth . the apartment was great and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay . we really enjoyed the comfort and amenities of the apartment and the complex

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!

This is the cleanest holiday rental we’ve ever stayed. Owners were lovely and couldn’t do enough to help. Beautiful property. Wonderful area. Pool was lovely. Highly recommend. Beds were the best air bnb beds we’ve ever stayed. Views were beautiful. We will certainly be back. Lots of friends are wanting to stay too. Thank you

Zennor Cottage is absolutely lovely. Spacious, clean, great location for walking to St Michael's mount, equipped kitchen, just wonderful. Ed was so helpful and communicative and went above and beyond helping me figure out my train and getting a package I needed. Polite, responsive, and kind. I felt right at home and only wish I could have stayed longer! I definitely recommend staying here. The wifi was great for working as well and the bed was comfy, shower nice and hot and it was so nice to have a dishwasher and washing machine as well. Thank you Ed!

This place is a real gem and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for beautiful views, peace and serenity. It's within a short walk of amazing beaches and close to all local amenities that you need. St. Ives is easily accessible and we used it as a base for many other Cornish locations - Penzance, Land's End and Falmouth were an easy drive away. The property itself, aside from being in a great location, was very well equipped, spotlessly clean and had all amenities that were advertised and the pictures in the listing were accurate and recent. Karen was a great host, very responsive and left a number of goodies in the kitchen to welcome us, which was an extra special touch that we didn't expect. We stayed for 7 nights and could easily have stayed longer.

Firefly was absolutely perfect for me. Small but perfectly formed and beautifully presented in every way. It has super comfortable bed with gorgeous duvet, pillows and linen. Dina provided lovely products in the beautifully appointed shower room too . Firefly is in a great location, only minutes away from the beach and all that the village has to offer. Dina’s description of Firefly left me in no doubt what to expect and her communication was excellent. I would thoroughly and very happily recommend it.

A gorgeous house within walking distance of Hayle beach. The house was brilliantly appointed and was very comfortable. Gorgeous views over the estuary enhanced our stay. Annie was a great host - very responsive and informative.

We had a wonderful stay. The house and its surroundings were exactly as described – it really does have the feel of a luxury hotel, but with the warmth and space of a home. It’s beautifully decorated, spacious, and welcoming. The views are stunning, and the beach is just a stone’s throw away – perfect for our 4.5-year-old to walk to. Town is also just a short five-minute stroll away. We’d also highly recommend Highlanes Fish & Chips – only a five-minute drive and well worth it. All in all, a lovely stay. Clean, spacious, fantastic views, and a brilliant location.

Just back from a lovely 2 nights . Rosie’s communication was excellent and let us know when the cottage was ready so we were able to check in an hour earlier. Rosie had supplied , tea ,coffee,sugar some lovely Cornish biscuits and a pint of milk . Also plenty of loo roll , dishwasher tabs , washing up liquid and cloths were provided . ( thought this was worth knowing for future guests ) We took a trip to Marizion and then we walked from the cottage into Mousehole which was lovely , even spotted a seal along the way . Loved sitting in the window seats and reading my book while sipping a glass of wine . We truly enjoyed our little escape . Thank you Rosie

We had a fabulous week. We were very lucky with the weather. The coastal views are staggering. We loved the constant changing colours of the landscape and sea. The SW Coast path was yards from the apartment, and the walk into Coverack easily manageable by road and path. Lovely rocky beach/cove in front of the building. Instructions for getting there were perfect, local team good at resolving a question we had. Even though it is remote and there were very few people around in February, we felt very safe and secure with the door code and keys. In the apartment, the lounge was a lovely relaxing area, good TV and internet coverage. Quite spacious with wide hallway, good sized bedroom and lounge kitchen diner. More than enough space for two. The balconies were excellent, it was warm enough to open a door and stand outside for a short while. The apartment was wonderfully warm, so cosy with 50mph winds on one evening. Thank you for the milk and biscuits. Hope to return one day.

beautiful surroundings in a fantastic location
