About the property
Harbour Lights sits in the historic harbour village of Charlestown, overlooking the sea and the iconic ships anchored in the harbour. With two bedrooms (including a super-king master suite with en-suite), two bathrooms and striking features like a bath at the end of the bed with sea vistas, every corner feels designed for relaxation. Outdoors, landscaped gardens gaze towards the waves; a fully enclosed patio and hot tub offer spaces to unwind in privacy, while inside, underfloor heating, a Sonos sound system and cosy fireplaces add warmth and luxury.
The space
Enter through charming harbour-stone walls into a warm open-plan space, where plush sofas surround a log-burning stove, large windows frame the harbour and the sound of the sea becomes rhythm.

The kitchen is sleek and well-equipped, flowing into a dining area made for lingering: meals are shared over candlelight or sunlit mornings, with views to sea helping set the pace.

The master bedroom boasts a super-king bed, en-suite bathroom with views and a luxurious bathtub positioned at the foot of the bed. The second bedroom is clever and compact (single/double pull-out bed) - ideal for children.There is a toilet/shower room on the ground floor.

Outside, the gardens are beautifully landscaped, offering privacy and peace. The hot tub is positioned to make the most of sea and harbour outlooks. A slate outdoor shower helps wash off the salt and there is a beautifully kept small additional garden overlooking the beach for private use.

Gorgeous little house in a fabulous position!

We booked this house for our family of 4 (and 2 small dogs) knowing that it was on the smaller side, but it looked too nice to miss out on, and I'm so glad we did! The house itself is small/compact but it is perfectly formed, with great attention to detail. The location is perfect, and the views are to die for! The garden is gorgeous and was perfect for our dogs, and the hot tub went down a storm with our daughters. It was a very relaxing place to stay, and we will definitely be back!

Fabulous

Everything about our stay was fabulous. The house is very well appointed with everything you need and very luxurious. We visited in January and were very lucky with the weather, but it would have been fine otherwise with the hot tub and log fire. Brilliant location - Charlestown is so peaceful and beautiful but very close to pubs, restaurants and shops and the bigger supermarkets in St Austel if you need them. Hope to be back.

Amazing Property in Beautiful Location

Really enjoyed our stay at Harbour Lights. Amazing location overlooking the beach and harbour. Our favourite thing was to take the short walk down to the beach, swim in the sea and then back to the hot tub... magical! Also enjoyed the short stroll into Charlestown to the Pier House and many restaurants around the harbour (Charlestown Fish, Dough Buoys, HBQ are all good). Then there is the Coastal Path which goes from outside the property. Going east up the hill is a great walk, but going west over to Duporth Beach was our favourite!

Insanely Beautiful

Charlotte’s property is one not to be missed! Waking up each morning with the sun glistening down over the sea, hearing the waves crashing against the shore was incredible! A much needed break from real life. We stayed with our children (age 4 and 7) and found the property plenty big enough. Charlestown is gorgeous and Harbour Lights has everything on it’s doorstep. Thanks for having us Charlotte! We’ll be back again! :-)

A relaxing holiday in a stunning location with amazing views and beautiful accommodation.

Harbour Lights is a cosy and comfortable retreat with the added bonus of a hot tub and stunning views of the sea. The accommodation is perfect for 2 and located at the start of the coastal path. The harbour at Charlestown is picturesque and there are lovely places to enjoy a meal or coffee. Booking was really easy and we felt very at home during our stay and appreciated the welcome treats. Would definitely recommend and hope to visit again.

Mini Moon

Harbour Lights was the perfect place for us to spend our mini moon and chill out and recharge after our wedding on 29th December. 5 star accommodation, great location over looking the sea, everything we could've wished for and more. From seeing the sunrise and sunsets over the sea, to stargazing in the hot tub drinking champagne on a cold January evening, watching cormorants and gannets diving for fish and even the odd seal, and the little touches of scones, cakes, jam and clotted cream to welcome us. Charlestown is a lovely place to unwind with a great selection of place to eat out. We chose the Pier House Hotel and The Boat House, lovely food in both. Finally I would like to thank Charlotte for organising the surprise champagne, flowers and chocolates for Julia, they were very much appreciated and enjoyed. We will come back and stay again and relive a special time for us.

Stunning Property in a unique and beautiful location

We had two nights at Harbour Lights and it was a pleasure from start to finish. The location is stunning with beautiful sea views, you can lay in bed or in the bath and hear the serene sound of waves crashing. The facilities are perfect with a BBQ there for your use, full sky package, and speaker system throughout the whole house, so you can listen to music whilst soaking in the hot tub. Charlestown is a perfect little village to explore, I would recommend Springtide, the new seafood restaurant which has just opened. We had a brilliant stay and the perfect setting for a birthday celebration.

The last of my 40th birthday celebrations

My Husband and I had a night here, to end my 40th birthday celebrations, this place was the icing on the cake, we loved everything about it! We didn't want to leave, the attention to detail, and the welcome gifts were lovely, we just wish we had longer there. Many thanks Andy and Terri 🤗

Fabulous!

We were lucky enough to spend two weeks at beautiful Harbour Lights. It has the best location in Charlestown with views of the harbour and out to sea. It is stylish and cosy with all you need and more for a great holiday. The beach is moments away and there are plenty of places to eat and drink within a few minutes walk. We will be back.

Fabulous place

We had an amazing time at Harbour Lights. Charlestown is such a pretty little town with lots of great places to eat and drink. The property was stunning, beautifully decorated with lots of character and attention to detail. We loved the views from the patio and waking up every morning to see the sea was amazing. Overall it was a brilliant experience and we can't wait to come back.

One night bliss

We only had one night at Harbour Lights but it was spectacular. Lovely touches on arrival, we got straight into the scones and the champagne not long after! Dinner then a stroll to the pub, and back to enjoy the hot tub with clear skies and shooting stars. We hopped into the bubble bath before finally curling up in front of the fire and a film - fair to say we made the most of it! Incredibly comfy bed too and very wide - I almost got lost trying to get out 😂

Why they chose this property

As soon as you step into the property you will see for yourself, it doesn't need to be sold!

But as a little teaser, try to imagine dolphin watching from your bed, watching the tall ships glide into the harbour from the bath, sipping Champagne in the hot tub whilst you watch the tide come in, walking 200m down the romantically lit path to the local restaurants for dinner, or snuggling up in the lookout with a hot chocolate enjoying a novel...

Romance, luxury, elegance, and character are all combined beautifully in our seaside retreat.

What makes this property unique

A 4 seater hot tub overlooking the sea
A stunning established coastal butterfly garden perching on a glass balustrade surrounded cliff top
A surround sound Sonos music system
Ipad with docking station
Wine cooler
Luxury super king bed with a bath at the end looking out to sea
Breathtaking panoramic views of the harbour and sea
Close to the Eden Project and St Austell town
