About this property

Seabirds House - Lovely 2 bedroom Flat with Best Possible Sea Views In St Ives

Seabirds House is a large Edwardian sea-captain's house with a very commanding position overlooking St Ives and the sea in all directions.
The views are superb - even window cleaners are amazed by them! It’s almost unique in St Ives to be able to see both the crashing waves on the Porthmeor surf beach, and the sheltered harbour beach – and you can see right around St Ives Bay and down the north Cornwall coast too.
Godrevy Terrace is quiet with very little passing traffic - you'll only hear the wind, the seagulls and the sea itself. Yet it's 2 or 3 minutes down the hill to the lively heart of this bustling little holiday town, and equally quick to get to the 3 main beaches. It takes a little longer to walk back up the very steep hill - so Seabirds is not really suitable for anyone with mobility problems.
Flat 4 is at the top of the house with a stunning view. It is comfortable and convenient with everything you need for a holiday including a washer dryer. But we don't claim to provide "luxury" accommodation and we don't have dishwashers or very posh kitchens so our prices are reasonable for comfortable holiday accommodation that undoubtedly has the very best views in St Ives.
Flat 4 has a parking space suitable for a normal family car, and an electric car charging point.
We also have Flat 2 Seabirds House, a one bedroom flat with a similarly amazing view, which is on a separate listing - 8154012.
And a small separate one bed flat 100 yards away also with a lovely sea view across gardens - our Barnoon Flat - listing 8151990.

Amazing views, a little tired around the edges

What a wonderful quiet location and views to die for! We found the beds too soft and couldn’t get the shower very warm. There was visible mould and peeling paint on the walls that needs addressing and the microwave is rusty inside. The sofas were super comfy, the washer drier an added bonus and the kitchen had everything we needed and more.

Summer in St Ives August 2022

This property has the best view in St Ives. It was perfect for us, a great location within moments of the beaches and harbour. It was easy to find and, although access was up a hill, the view at the top was utterly worth is.

Seabirds flat 4 long weekend

Found at the last minute due to planned accomodation being cancelled at short notice. Glad we did as its a lovely flat on the 3rd floor with great facilities and amazing views from the balcony. Host was great and we got all the info etc we needed. Car parking space is tight but there's a car park behind the building if you prefer. I managed to get my Renault Laguna in fine with a bit of manouevring. Only a couple of minutes into town/onto beach which was fantastic. Would definately recommend and would love to stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Mary Brown

Hello! We are Mary and Henry Brown, the owners.
We live in London and have a wonderful team of people in St Ives who help us to take care of Barnoon and Seabirds House. Henry looks after any issues with the building, and I manage the bookings. I really enjoy the contact with our guests - many regulars feel like friends even when all the contact has been by email.
Apart from St Ives and family, our main interest is sailing - in a dinghy on the Thames and a bigger boat on the sea.

Why they chose this property

In 1998 we bought a little flat in Barnoon Terrace, having fallen in love with St Ives, and the view. We let it as well as using it ourselves from the start. Then we saw another property just up the hill which was in a very sorry state indeed. We bought it and had the inside completely rebuilt, turning the original 7 flatlets into 5 lovely flats, taking full advantage of the view. This is Seabirds House and we think the position and views are unbeatable.
The flats are bright and cheerful, IKEA style. No chintz!
