Just a few metres from the sandy shores of Praa Sands Beach, this dreamy house nestled between Penzance and Helston offers beachside beauty from the moment you arrive. Take in uninterrupted views of the bay from the large private garden boasting sun loungers, an alfresco dining and lounge area and an abundance of open lawn space. But, of course, the cherry on the cake is the hot tub – perfectly positioned for taking in the sunset at the end of a fun-filled day catching the surf or soaking up other beachside activities. Rest and restore your energy with chill-out sessions in the plush living area with a good book in hand. From here, you can hear the sound of the waves breaking on the beach. Heaven. Whether you prefer to cook up a storm on the barbecue or head to the "Sand Bar" restaurant down on the beachfront – you needn't miss out on enjoying this serene setting when it comes to meal times. When you can peel yourselves away from life on the beach, the coastal town of Marazion with its famous St Michaels Mount is only a ten-minute drive away.
