Stunning 5 bedroom holiday home, with amazing sea views, garden and parking

Day Dawn is a beautifully designed five-bedroom luxury coastal retreat overlooking the award-winning Porthmeor Beach in glorious St Ives. Just a five-minute walk to the beach and ten minutes to the harbour’s shops, restaurants and galleries, it offers breathtaking sea views and generous, stylish living spaces. Sleeping 11 guests, it is dog-friendly, has parking for 4 cars and blends modern comfort with relaxed coastal elegance; perfect for families and groups seeking a memorable Cornish escape.

✨ What Makes It Special

From the moment you arrive, the views will take your breath away. Gaze across the Atlantic from the comfort of your sofa, sip a morning coffee watching surfers on the beach, or watch golden sunsets with a glass of fizz. The location is fantastic - just a five-minute stroll from Porthmeor Beach and a ten-minute wander into town, where you’ll find the picuresque harbour, boutique shops, galleries, and some of Cornwall’s best restaurants. Tucked into a quiet spot with direct access to the South West Coast Path, Day Dawn feels peaceful and private, yet close to everything. It offers the ideal base for beach days, coastal adventures, and relaxed evenings together.

The outdoor space is a real highlight. Fire up the BBQ for a long summer lunch, toast marshmallows at the outdoor fire place, or curl up in the egg chair with a book while the kids play in the garden. After a dip in the sea, the hot outdoor shower is a lifesaver. And with parking for four cars (a rare bonus in St Ives), coming and going is stress-free.

🛏 Space for Everyone

With five beautifully styled bedrooms, there’s plenty of space. Choose from three king-size doubles (two with sea views), a comfy twin, and a fun triple room with bunk + single bed. Four bathrooms mean no queues—three are en-suites and there’s also a family bathroom with both bath and walk-in shower. Fresh Egyptian cotton linens, fluffy towels, robes - and even little robes for the kids are included, along with toiletries so you can pack light.

🍴 Eat, Drink & Relax

The house has an “upside-down” layout so the main living spaces soak up the best views. The lounge is light and airy with a Juliette balcony that opens straight to the ocean air. The big kitchen-dining area (with seating for 11) is made for family meals and celebrations, with balcony doors that lead out into the garden.

When it’s time to wind down, head to the cinema room for a movie night or gaming session on the large flat screen with Xbox and DVD player.

🌟 Family & Friends

Travelling with kids? You’ll find toys, board games, books, a cot, highchair, stair gates, and baby gear ready for you. Grown-ups will love the Bose speakers and smart TVs in every bedroom, while fast Wi-Fi keeps everyone connected.

🌿 Those Extra Touches

We love making guests feel at home, so you’ll find a welcome hamper waiting when you arrive. Surfers and swimmers can make use of the body boards provided and wetsuit and board storage, and yes—dogs are welcome too (well-behaved four-legged friends only).

From cream teas with a sea view to sunset drinks by the outdoor fire place, Day Dawn is all about creating the kind of holiday you’ll talk about for years.
