Kid-friendly holiday rentals in St Ives

Lovely stay at Ems place. Ideal location to get to different areas of Cornwall and a 5 min walk from the shops. Really lovely views, a real treat to be able to look at the sea and at Michael’s mount when having breakfast. Very clean and great amenities. Em herself was very responsive, very friendly and super helpful. Great for the dogs too. Thanks!

The Balcony Studio was the perfect getaway. It is a beautifully appointed stone cottage with stunning views overlooking the ocean. The cottage is steeped in history and has been beautifully renovated. It is spread over four half levels - you enter a well appointed kitchen, go down to the very large and unique bathroom, up to the bedroom with sitting area, and up again to a small living room and WC. The layout to the bedroom is very clever, with the bed facing the windows, but far enough back to be completely private when the blinds are up and the windows are open. I loved sitting in the chairs overlooking the water. Even with people walking by under the balcony, it feels very private. The location is fabulous - just steps to restaurants, cafes, shops and galleries of St Ives. The walk from the train was maybe 5-6 minutes. I loved my stay and would highly recommend.

Lovely stay, gorgeous house and neighborhood. Landlords were 100% friendly and responsive to all queries.

Liz is very responsive and a great host- the place is spacious , clean and has a great view as well; definitely recommend!

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.

really enjoyed our stay, very well equipped

A 50/60's vibe, clean and tidy with great views. Well equipped with everything you could possibly need for a wonderful holiday. Victoria & Sarah were brilliant with communication and very attentive to our needs. I will definitely use again for my next holiday to St. Ives. Thank you ever so much for a wonderful holiday.

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

We had a lovely stay. The apartment is very cozy and tastefully decorated. The large shower was a great bonus, and the place had everything we needed. Maxine provided clear instructions and was friendly and quick to respond. Thank you for hosting us!

Our second stay at Geeta’s apartment - location is perfect (so close to the harbour and no hills or steps to walk up from the town) for us with our two young children. The space is spotlessly clean and well equipped. Geeta was a great host with excellent communication. We will be back next year!

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.

We had a lovely 5 night stay here, and it was everything we needed. The apartment is beautiful, light, comfortable, well equipped, and has a wonderful view of Portreath Beach. Katherine was very helpful and responded very quickly to messages. We would stay again.

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.

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.

Perfectly located stay! Thanks for having us and accepting our last minute request! Parking was easy and also close by at the price of just over £10 for 24 hours

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.

The studio is beautifully presented and very extremely clean. Toiletries and linens are lovely and Elizabeth goes above and beyond in providing extra ‘incidental’ items that are so useful - spare toothbrushes, spectacle wipes etc. For wet days there is a large selection of reading and games material. We had everything we needed but I also felt that Elizabeth would respond immediately if there were any issues whatsoever.

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

A really special time in beautiful St Ives. The apartment is perfectly located, just minutes from the harbour and the beach with the most spectacular views, the photos don’t do justice. A minor issue was resolved immediately by Jon (thank you). We were glad of the parking, although you need to be confident at reverse parking, the space is tight but manageable for a small car (mine was slightly bigger than the owners). We would also recommend St Ives Pottery for a fantastic pottery throwing experience and Tiger Lilly boats for mackerel fishing. We would love to come back.

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

This particular apartment had a most memorable deck and view just like the picture. We cherished sitting on deck and watching the beach, waves and people every morning and evening. The cool ocean breeze was also very nice for June as the weather was heating up elsewhere in UK. I f the weather is good, guests are in for a real treat staying here. Room has everything you need and good wifi even on the deck. Would absolutely stay here again if ever in the area!

A beautiful apartment with amazing views. Very close to the university which was the purpose of our visit. Our host was very friendly and was excellent at communicating with us. We would 100% stay at this property again.
