About this property

Pendynas, luxury home, heart of St Ives. Beaches, shops, restaurants all very close. Free parking for 2 cars. Free WiFi.

LUXURY DOWNALONG COTTAGE | SEA VIEWS | PARKING FOR 2 CARS

Pendynas is professionally marketed and managed by Orange Roofs, a local St Ives holiday rental agency.

Hidden away in the heart of St Ives’ sought-after Downalong quarter, Pendynas is a beautifully restored luxury cottage just moments from both Porthgwidden and Porthmeor Beach.

Combining elegant interiors, sea views, underfloor-heated bathrooms and the rare advantage of parking for two cars, this exceptional coastal retreat is perfectly suited to family holidays, celebrations with friends or romantic escapes by the sea.

A PRIME DOWNALONG LOCATION

Positioned on Carncrows Street, Pendynas places you within effortless walking distance of everything St Ives is loved for — beaches, galleries, independent shops, restaurants and traditional Cornish pubs are all just a pleasant stroll away.

Its location between Porthgwidden and Porthmeor means beach days couldn’t feel easier. Morning swims, surf sessions and sunset walks are all practically on your doorstep, with the sand reachable in around a minute.

BEAUTIFULLY DESIGNED FOR RELAXED COASTAL LIVING

Entering from the rear terrace, you step directly into the bespoke shaker-style kitchen and dining space. Designed for sociable holiday living, the open-plan layout creates a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere whether preparing breakfasts before the beach or gathering together for relaxed evening meals.

The kitchen is well-equipped for self-catering stays, whilst the large dining table offers comfortable seating for everyone to come together.

A particularly thoughtful touch is the ground-floor shower room positioned conveniently beside both the kitchen and rear entrance — ideal for rinsing off sandy feet and wetsuits before heading further into the cottage. There is also an outdoor shower for washing away the worst of the sand after beach days.

From the dining space, a step leads down into the cosy living room where deep sofas, comfortable chairs and a large Smart TV create the perfect place to unwind after a day exploring St Ives.

THREE BEAUTIFUL BEDROOMS & FOUR UNDERFLOOR-HEATED BATHROOMS

Pendynas comfortably sleeps up to six guests across three thoughtfully designed bedrooms, each offering comfort, quality furnishings and Smart TVs with built-in DVD players.

On the first floor you’ll find:


A twin bedroom with en-suite bathroom including bath with shower over

A king-size bedroom with en-suite shower room and lovely views towards the Island and sea beyond

Occupying the entire top floor is a stunning king-size suite filled with natural light and enjoying elevated sea views towards the Island. The spacious en-suite shower room completes this wonderfully peaceful retreat.

All four bathrooms throughout the cottage benefit from underfloor heating, adding an extra layer of comfort during cooler months.

JUST MOMENTS FROM THE BEACH

One of Pendynas’ most special features is just how close it sits to the coastline. Porthgwidden Beach is only moments away, whilst Porthmeor Beach can be reached in just a couple of minutes via the Island.
Whether you’re packing a picnic, heading for an early surf or simply wandering down for sunset, the location makes beach life feel beautifully effortless.

OUTDOOR SPACE & PRACTICAL TOUCHES

Outside the cottage is a lovely seating area with a handcrafted bench and table — a peaceful spot for morning coffee or evening drinks after long days by the sea.

There is also practical outdoor space for storing bodyboards or surfboards, alongside areas for hanging rinsed wetsuits after beach adventures.

Stunning Pendynas

As a regular visitor to St Ives every summer, this is probably the best house we have stayed in St Ives in the last ten years! Everything about it is stunning, so clean and the location is absolutely perfect! Luckily the weather was the best we’ve ever had during the heatwave! There is no place we would prefer to be apart from our happy place! We can will be booking again, thank you for a 5* stay x

Fantastic house in a superb location

We stayed as a family of five including three children. We couldn’t fault the house at all. It was spotless and decorated lovely. The outside and downstairs showers were very useful after trips to the beach. The kitchen was very well stocked with plenty of crockery and cooking equipment. As to location, you really couldn’t get much better with only being a couple of minutes walk to the beach. Also very well located for the centre of St Ives. It was a little tricky driving through St Ives to reach the property but this was mainly due to arriving on Easter Saturday at lunchtime. As long as you take the narrow roads slowly, there isn’t a problem. We also parked a large car in the parking space fine. All in all a lovely holiday and great communication from Orange Roofs. I even checked to see if the property was available next Easter to book but unfortunately it’s already booked!

A beautiful weekend in a stunning property

We spent a perfect weekend in Pendynas with our two daughters and their partners and couldn’t fault this property. It was spotless and equipped with everything you could need. It is spacious but has a lovely cosy feel to it and is only a few minutes walk from the town centre. We have stayed in many beautiful properties in the St Ives area over the years but this has to be my favourite.

Great house in a great location

We spent a long weekend here as a family of 6 adults. The house had everything we needed. It was in a very good location, only a short walk to the harbour, with no steep hills. The house was very clean.

Fantastic stay

We chose Pendynas as we took our elderly fathers away and it seemed ideal as we needed 3 bedrooms all with ensuite facilities. We were not disappointed as it had all this as well as a downstairs cloakroom with a walk in shower too. It is a beautifully appointed house which has obviously been lovingly renovated with all mod cons. We were very impressed with the quality of all the equipment too. The only things we could find that could be improved are the glass tumblers which are quite thick and heavy and there was no wine rack. A proper coffee maker would also be an advantage. The best pasties we've ever had are Pengenna's in the main street! We had a super week and lovely weather even though it was the first week in October! Very impressed and would definitely recommend this to potential visitors. We hope to return next year. Thank you David Gail Brian and Bernard
