Beachfront Apartment With Stunning Views

17 Barnaloft is a bright and beautifully styled beachfront apartment set directly above the golden sands of Porthmeor Beach in St Ives. With sweeping sea views, a private balcony, and direct beach access in summer, this light-filled second-floor retreat offers a wonderful escape for couples or families seeking sun, sea, and the charm of one of Cornwall’s most iconic coastal towns.

Inside, the apartment embraces open-plan living with a relaxed yet sophisticated feel. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the ever-changing seascape, filling the main living area with natural light and offering a front-row seat to Porthmeor’s stunning sunsets. The lounge is comfortably furnished and features original artwork, a TV and DVD player, and doors that open directly onto the private balcony – a perfect spot for morning coffee or an alfresco supper with the sound of waves below.

The kitchen sits to the rear of the space and is well-equipped with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, and a pod coffee machine, making it easy to prepare simple meals at home. A central dining table provides a sociable setting to gather and eat together, whether you're enjoying breakfast with a view or a cosy dinner after a day at the beach.

The gallery-style mezzanine bedroom overlooks the living area and offers a peaceful king-size bed set beneath the apartment’s sloped ceiling. Sliding doors open to reveal an adjoining twin room with two single beds, creating a flexible and practical sleeping arrangement. The shower room on the main floor features a walk-in shower and WC, and there’s access to shared laundry facilities on site.

During the summer months guests can make use of private access down to the beach, a rare and special feature that makes the most of this unbeatable location. For added convenience, the apartment also includes private parking for one car in an on-site garage.

Positioned at the edge of The Island, Barnaloft apartments are just moments from St Ives’ vibrant harbourfront, with its independent galleries, restaurants, cafés and sandy coves all within easy walking distance. Whether you’re soaking up the view from the balcony, exploring local beaches, or discovering the town’s rich artistic heritage, this is a place to slow down and savour the very best of the Cornish coast.
