About this property

Family Home by The Sea

A beautiful family home by the sea. 200 metres from the mile long sandy beach of Praa Sands. Most rooms have panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. Generous open plan living and dining areas with large garden. There is a log fire for cooler days. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to prepare meals with a generous range of condiments and spices. This is a great house for relaxing and spending long days on the deck, lawn or beach.

We welcome children. There is a high chair, cot, a box of children's games and internet TV for rainy days. Child safety gates are at the bottom and top of stairs.

Discounts are possible for couples, please inquire.

Praa Sands is a peaceful seaside village. A beachside family friendly pub called 'The Welloe' is a 5 walk along the beach and there is a beach cafe/shop and lifeguard.

Large supermarkets are a 10 minute drive from the house. They include Sainsburys, Tesco and Morrisons in Penzance and Sainsburys, Tesco and Coop at Helston.

There are many lovely towns nearby. Walk directly around 1.5-2 hours, from the house along the cliffside to the towns of Porthleven (east) and Marazion (west). Or drive to: Penzance (10 mins), Helston (10 mins), Newlyn (20 mins), Mousehole (25 mins), St Ives (25 mins), Falmouth (40 mins), Truro (40 mins).

There are plenty of places to eat. The local pub provides decent food or you can drive to some excellent local restaurants in the area. Eating out is one of the reasons our guests visit and we will send you a list of suggestions that is updated regularly from guest experiences.

We provide a list of things to do. Examples include visits to: Marazion and St Michaels Mount (10 mins); Tremenheere Sculpture Park and Gardens (15 mins); Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Garden (30 mins); The Lost Gardens of Heligan (1 hour); Eden project (1:10 hour); Tate St Ives (30 min); Minack Theatre (40 min); The Scilly Isles are a day trip away by boat, plane or helicopter.

It is best to travel by car and there is spacious parking for 3 cars at the front of the house. There are some local buses and taxi firms. Details are provided at the house.

I am an artist and Rainbow's End is my dream place where I relax with friends and family.

I am enjoying learning German and am happy to correspond in German, though there may be a few mistakes.

Why they chose this property

Praa Sands is an old fashioned seaside resort with a beautiful beach. We love the peace and lovely views. There are great coastal walks whether you go east or west from the house and beautiful places nearby like Loe Bar lake near Porthleven. Supermarkets are a 10 minute drive away in Penzance and Helston. There is a small and well stocked Coop 2 miles from the house.

What makes this property unique

Beautiful and restful location by the sea. The mile long sandy beach can be reached by walking through the garden and along a short path. There is a family friendly pub and beach cafe. The western end of the beach is busier in the summer and the eastern end is usually quiet. There are sea-views from most rooms and an expansive deck with large garden.
