If you had to rank Cornwall's seaside towns, we think St. Ives would be pretty close to the top. Not only is it home to excellent seafood restaurants, intriguing smuggling-era pubs, and a Tate art gallery, but it's also where you'll find some fantastic beaches. Porthminster Beach is a three-minute stroll, and the quieter Bamaluz is ten minutes on foot. Back at this apartment, a massive panoramic window is the focal point of the living space, offering an incredible view of St. Ives Harbour and Godrevy Lighthouse for you to enjoy as you sip a glass of wine in the evening twilight. With such amazing vistas of the azure Atlantic Ocean, we're not sure we'd be able to tear ourselves away from this place.
