About this property

New to Vrbo Unique coastal detached property

A part converted and extended 1924 ‘Dennis Motor Coach’ now providing a unique one bedroom character home with glorious valley and sea views towards St Ives, set in established gardens with driveway parking. An unusual and fascinating opportunity to stay in a complete one off.

5 minutes walk to the beach.

Low ceiling heights in parts of the house.

Porthtowan is a small village on the North Cornish Coast. Great for surfing, walking the coast path, or just lying on the beach!

WiFi didn’t work, freezer was screwed closed and unusable and the fridge would usually pop open. Beautiful little house, fabulous location but utterly impossible to stay there. We came home early.
Stayed 8 nights in May 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 15 June 2026
I'm sorry to hear you were unable to get the WIFI to work; I will look into this as there's unlimited data so there should have been no issues. Unfortunately a previous guest broke the freezer handle, so the property is not advertised to have a freezer. It isn't clear from your review exactly what makes the property "utterly impossible to stay there" so i'm unable to comment on this.
