Beach house holiday rentals in Praa Sands

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 cottage right by the sea, small for 2 teenagers and 2 adults but another experience for them ticked off the list. Great location, stunning out look, local walks, beaches and St Micheal's Mount all in your door step. pristine accommodation, an all round great stay. Thanks Abi.

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.

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.

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.

Beautiful place! Would 100% stay again! We requested decorations to be put up for arrival as it was my mams 50th birthday. We sent decorations but they weren’t put up when we arrived. We spoke with Malcolm about this and he came straight over the next morning to do this while we were out and left some beautiful cupcakes, helped us rectify the heating as it was very hot, and was available at all times when we needed! Beautiful place! Very local to lots of shops and very close to the train station: beautiful views!

Beautiful home with amazing views, we stayed in the winter so couldn’t enjoy the outdoor space as much as someone could in the summer. Alan was such a helpful and friendly host. Would 100% recommend, we had a brilliant time in st Ives.

We recently returned from an amazing three-night stay at this stunning home and cannot express enough how impressed we were. The décor is beautiful, with every detail in the home reflecting a high standard of quality. As a group of six, the house was perfect for us with it’s fabulous mix of comfortable/relaxing social spaces and split level bedrooms. We enjoyed relaxing in the beautiful living area with its gorgeous sea views and enjoyed leisurely breakfasts in the lovely dining/kitchen space. The house is incredibly well-equipped, offering everything we could need and more. Although we couldn't explore some of the recommended local restaurants due to being in the local area for a music festival, we wholeheartedly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area in search of a luxurious stay. Communication with Iveta before, during, and after our trip was excellent, providing all the necessary instructions that we needed. Overall, we had an amazing time in this beautiful home!

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.

Beautiful house. We stayed with our baby and Sarah was really helpful when I messaged about the travel cot and highchair. Spacious parking space on a driveway. Lovely clean and spacious rooms. Would definitely stay again!

The house was a lovely, quiet, comfortable, place for my whole family to stay for a long weekend. Well situated and equipped for all of us and contributed to a very pleasant trip.

We’re so glad we chose to stay at Halula Beach House for my hen do weekend, it was the perfect pad! Pool, hot tub, silent disco, huge table we could all sit round… and just a few minutes walk to the gorgeous beach. Would highly recommend it!

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.

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.

We had a wonderful time at Jenny’s place. The location of the house is lovely, and the balcony really allows you to make the most of the beautiful views. The space itself is very homely, with a good amount of space. We would highly recommend staying with Jenny!

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.

What an amazing find! Utterly private and feels very rural. Even though the lovely village of St Agnes and glorious beaches and towns are only a short distance away! Very cosy and eclectic home with some delicious treats and a bottle of fizz left by Kate and Simon. If you do stay, you HAVE TO use Sunny Spice, whether it’s for takeaway or eat in. Best South Indian food and yummy dosas I’ve had outside of London or Kerala! Thank you for making us so welcome and for the brilliant recommendations of places to go and local eateries.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Church Cottage with our two young daughters. The cottage felt homely and had everything we needed, but also stood out as somewhere special - the quality of the decor and furnishings is amazing. We loved exploring the Lizard and Emily had loads of great recommendations for us. Every day was jam packed! We did have an issue with hot water during our stay; unfortunately the boiler broke and due to a struggle to get hold of parts, we were without hot water for the majority of our trip. But, Emily was fantastic at staying in touch, checking in with us to see how we were getting on and updating us on progress. We really felt that Emily did her utmost to resolve the situation as quickly as possible and ultimately, though frustrating at times, we didn’t let it spoil our holiday. Thank you so much Emily, we loved Church Cottage!

Brilliant place. It’s remote but we wanted that. The beach below is beautiful and quiet, a lot of steps so you need to be fit to use regularly! The house is otherwise so spacious and each room having its own en-suite is a huge bonus if you are a big family. It’s also really soundproof so was handy to be up with my young kids and not wake the rest of the house up. If you surf it’s a brilliant spot as Gwynver is a great spot that works well when it’s small everywhere else. And the footpath over to sennen cove is about 30-40 minute walk and completely stunning. All in all a really incredible home, perfect for an active family of wanting to be among the beautiful nature of the far south west. Thanks so much for a really memorable trip

We stayed at Saurabhs lovely place which was 15 minutes away from St Ives. It was clean and just what we needed after driving for 5 hours. Saurabh was very kind and helpful when checking in. I would stay here again!

We had a really wonderful stay in Polvenna beachhouse. The house is clean, spacious and light, with a cosy, beachy interior. The beds and showers are great and the kitchen is very well equipped. We all loved the amazing view and the sound of the waves when lying in bed at night. It was really magical. Porthtowan has a great beach. We loved the rockpool and rented surfboards. The village store is a short walk down and sells fresh bread. Nearby St. Agnes is lovely and has some great restaurants. This is a good place to visit the rest of Cornwall from. Don’t hesitate to book!

We couldn't have wished for a nicer stay. On arrival Mel had left us a welcome basket of goodies, including dog treats for Teddy our cockapoo. We enjoyed spending our evenings on the balcony admiring the amazing view. Her place was perfect for our weekend away, and handy for walking to Porthtowan. The Blues bar and beachside cafe did not disappoint and would recommend a visit to both. We have fallen in love with Mel's place and Porthtowan, and can't wait to come back very soon.

This was a last-minute break, and worked so well for us. Beautiful location- it was lovely to drink coffee in the morning outside, overlooking the sea. Such a peaceful place, and close to lots of lovely places to visit. Charlotte's information was really comprehensive- lots of recommendations for food etc.

Wow! Jessica’s home is beautiful. A great open plan space for enjoying time with our family with beautiful views of the sea. Waking up each morning to the view was fantastic. There was also a lovely outside space to be able to sit together and a big garden too. We felt comfortable and at home with a cozy feel. The books and games were a nice touch too. The local beach is a short walk and was clean with clear water, absolutely gorgeous and you could have been mistaken that you were abroad! There are lots of places to visit within a short drive, we ventured to St Ives & Carbis Bay on the train from St Erth which was a very scenic ride . We also visited Lands End & St Micheals Mount. Jess was a great host and easily reachable. The beds were comfy and we all slept well. Also a great ratio of bathrooms and toilets for a group of 12. The master bedroom is just incredible, a real wow moment walking in! Jess you have done a brilliant job creating such a beautiful space.
