About Rocky Close

Perched above Porthmeor Beach with far-reaching views across the St Ives Bay, Rocky Close enjoys one of St Ives' most enviable settings. This spacious detached property combines contemporary comfort with a spectacular coastal backdrop, making it an excellent choice for families and groups looking to experience Cornwall's celebrated coastline.

Step inside to discover a bright and sociable open-plan living space where large windows and bi-fold doors draw the eye towards the sea beyond.

The well-equipped kitchen features modern appliances and generous preparation space, while the dining area provides the perfect setting for everything from leisurely breakfasts to celebratory suppers. Open the bi-fold doors and step onto the decked terrace, where coastal panoramas provide a stunning backdrop to outdoor dining, morning coffee or a glass of wine as the sun begins to dip.

The hot tub is perfectly positioned for soaking in the scenery, offering an ideal place to relax after a day exploring the Cornish coast. The accommodation is arranged across two floors and comprises four thoughtfully presented bedrooms.

On the ground floor, a super-king-size bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room. Upstairs, the master super-king-size bedroom also enjoys an en-suite shower room, while two twin bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for family and friends.

In total, the property offers four bath and shower facilities, including the two en-suites, a family bathroom with roll-top bath and separate shower, and an additional ground-floor shower room. Outside the property, St Ives offers an abundance of attractions, galleries, independent shops and renowned eateries.

Art lovers can spend time exploring the Tate St Ives, while beach enthusiasts are spoilt for choice with five beautiful beaches nearby. Just below the property lies Porthmeor Beach, one of Cornwall's most iconic stretches of sand, popular with surfers, swimmers and families alike.

Rocky Close Reviews

Hayley
Amazing house, lots of space and parking. Amazing views, would definitely stay again
Sheila
Just perfection, the views, accommodation. The hot tub is well maintained, with quality checks couple times a week. To walk into town and back we found the best route along the side of the cemetery,with steps down, avoiding some the steep hills, we didn't want to leave such a perfect place. Thank you to the owner.
Amanda
We have just had the best week at Rocky Close, from the moment we arrived it felt like home so clean and cosy. Lovely place to relax
We had an amazing week at Rocky Close. The property was fabulous and everything we wished for. The rooms were all super spacious, the downstairs double with ensuite perfect for my elderly father. The house was immaculate and beds so comfy, the hot tub was very welcome on some of the wet drizzly days. The views were to die for and well worth the climb up those steep hills! We would definitely recommend for the perfect location and homely luxury
The property couldnt have been any better, beautiful property in the perfect location. We will be back soon
Kirsten
We had a fantastic week at Rocky Close Easter 2024. The house is fab exceptionally clean and comfortable with loads of space and great views and the hot tub was a fantastic addition. Host was super helpful and friendly checking on the hot tub to make sure all working ok. Perfect family getaway.
This place is amazing. Pictures do not do it justice. Rooms are big and everything is provided. View is beautiful and hot tub to boot. What more could be said. New batteries in the remote for Netflix would have helped and Im sure they would have been done Id we asked. Nothing was any trouble and lovely people to book with. Highly recommend and would visit again.
David And Paula
Amazing views and a spacious property with all we needed. The hot tub was much appreciated as was the log burner, though the house was warm with good heating. The beds were comfortable and it was good to have the facilities of the utility room too. The walk down to the beach and Tate gallery was easy also back though it is of course a steep hill! Walking down into the facilities of the town was also easy through the small streets. There weren't lots of seats in the sitting room close to the decking but we moved some from one of the bedrooms so we could all sit comfortably during our stay. It was a brilliant holiday and place to stay. Small niggle the dinner plates are too large for the dishwasher and it wasn't possible to move the top rack up any further. Small but irritating as we ended up washing them up!
The house was absolutely perfect, the views were beautiful. The house gave us everything we needed, we wanted for nothing. The house was spotless, lovely white bedding an fluffy white towels. All kitchen utensils were available for us to use, it was like home from home. Liz the owner was more than helpful, very friendly and approachable. We had an amazing week, 4 adults an 2 childrenthe house had more than enough space for us all. We will definitely be back an would recommend this house to anyone looking for a chilled holiday. I will miss those mornings sunrises an looking out to the ocean
