About this house rental

Wonderfully positioned above Praa Sands, this contemporary holiday home is less than two minutes' walk from one of Cornwall's best beaches and boasts sleek lines, a private garden and unobstructed ocean views; perfect for family holidays on the Cornish south coast.

Apart from having a beautiful external design the house also features a gorgeous interior where a colour palette of calming hues as well as a selection of sumptuous soft furnishings creates an atmosphere that's thoroughly condusive to relaxing. Glass sliding doors capitalise on the magnificent views of sea and sky, while high quality features throughout mean the home strikes just the right balance between aesthetics and practicality. Downstairs, the living and cooking area boasts an open-plan layout which feels spacious and light-filled thanks to that fantastic proportion of glass, and opens out to a deck where morning coffees and evening drinks can be enjoyed. Two roomy sofas create the perfect places to unwind on to take in the scenes of rolling waves and skyscapes in the distance, and the area is completed with a dining table, a large wood-burning stove and a stunning modern kitchen with breakfast bar and seating. Three wonderful bedrooms mean plenty of space for six guests, with the exquisite upper floor master suite having its own juliet balcony and en-suite bathroom. All rooms have deeply comfortable mattresses and beautiful décor, creating sumptuous sanctuaries for retreating to after days spent down on the beach.

Ideally placed above Praa Sands' mile long stretch of fine sand, the delights of Cornish beach life lie quite literally on the property's doorstep. Backed by dunes and spectacular coastal scenery it's the ideal place for family picnics, sandcastle building or for paddling in the shallows, while the bay's renowned swells draw bodyboarders and surfers from all over the country. Within 10 minutes' drive are the popular coastal towns of Porthleven in one direction, and Marazion in the other where a plethora of coastal paths and walks can be relished along with visits to some of the area's best-known landmarks like St Michael's Mount and Porthleven's harbour.

A fabulous, quiet and very peaceful property. One minor issue was that the sofas were too low and not comfortable at all. Other than that, what a fantastic location, central to everything we wanted to do and all was as described. The bedrooms and the beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped and spotlessly clean. The parking was a little bit tight for two large SUV’s - any bigger and it would be a problem. The views were fabulous and we were blessed with fine weather. We were fortunate to be entertained by an RNAS helicopter on exercise in the bay and the RNLI lifeboat attending an incident (floating debris). We wouldn’t hesitate to return.

Truly a great place to stay, amazing views, pristine position, excellent decor and equipment, comfortable beds, beautiful showers, and to top it all a glass fronted veranda where you can sit and enjoy the sunsets at your leisure, 5 star excellence.

Everything you need for a great stay in a fabulous stylish home. Cant wait to return. Luxury Coastal always give great customer service, we have booked with them several times and always give great customer service and support.

I’m afraid my review is not a positive one. This property does not represent luxury to us. We were actually rather uncomfortable during our stay. The sofas are not sofas, rather hard boards. They are miserable to sit on. The weather called for some snuggly afternoons and evenings and we just wished we were at home. The Wi-Fi is inadequate which when you only provide an internet only TV is an issue. We were unable to watch anything all week. There is a severe issue with the main bedroom window. Water is getting in, soaking the carpet, floor boards and our luggage which in turn has created a wood louse infestation. The kitchen is an issue, far too small for a 6 person house. The ground floor beds had just one sheet on them, all mattress stains clearly on show through the thin bedding. No mattress protectors. That just made it feel grubby. I just would not recommend to anyone I’m afraid.

The house and location was fabulous. Everything was to such high standards with the exception of the seating in the lounge area. The two sofas (if you would actually call them sofas... I'm not sure) were dreadful - so uncomfortable and certainly not suitable for six adults. We had to either sit at the dining table or on the floor....not great! For a house of such high spec I cannot understand why anyone would think these were acceptable - they need replaced. There was no wardrobe or hanging space for clothes in the downstairs bedroom we had to all share the upstairs wardrobes. The TV was hopeless - we could not get any BBC channels and there was no instructions.

Ocean View was the perfect location for a week away with our dogs. The house is a stone's throw from the beach and Praa Sands is conveniently located for enjoyable days trips and hikes. Fittings & fixtures are high quality, and the decking and garden is a good place to relax in the long summer evenings.

the property was lovely , bedrooms spacious, the layout of the lounge area , seating in particular challenging for 6 to be seated comfortably for an evening in . needs a re-think in the interior seating planning in this area
