Contemporary Beach House with sea views and short walk to Blue Flag beach

Beach House sits 100m from the Blue Flag beach in Porthtowan, a small seaside village with a stunning 1 mile sandy beach, framed by National Trust protected coastline and served by RNLI Lifeguards. Learn to surf at the legendary Tris Surf or enjoy the thrill of nature lying down on a foam body board. On the beach is the 'Blue Bar', a Good Pub Guide pub with great food, and Chapel Porth National Trust cafe, home of the world famous HedgeHog ice cream. Walkers take the South West coastal path from the gate through the UNESCO World Heritage North Cornwall coastline. For cyclists: take an 11 mile coast-to-coast cycle route along old railway lines and one of the best BMX facilities in the UK is nearby. Great location for all of Cornwall, only 5 minutes from the A30. 20 minutes to Truro, 30 minutes to Newquay, Falmouth and St Ives. St Michaels Mount, Padstow, Lands End and The Eden Project are within in a 45 minute radius.

The house was really lovely, the booking process was very hard work. The dates were changed as VRBO should not have allowed us to book the dates we did apparently. We rebooked for the day after but then paid more. I was then contacted to change the dates again and I said I couldn't. Then 2 weeks before we were due to stay we were told this house we booked was being refurbished so we had to stay in the sister house. So although the house was great, this was the hardest booking I have had with VRBO. It did turn out alright in the end though.

We had an amazing weekend, everything we needed and it was so clean. Beds and sofa really comfortable and plenty of space for everyone. Host Mark was great and got back to me with a solution very quickly. Plenty of parking in car park, steps up to property bit tricky but ok if fit. Great stay thank you

Great place to stay for 11 of us ( 3 families) in February. Mark was great with his communication and gave us an extra mattress so we could accommodate an additional person. Lovely spot, sea views and easy to find. Yes, there are steps up to the house (about 70) but we all managed it and we're getting on a bit! We managed to park two small cars on the concrete ramp/driveway. The 30 metres of unmade road to it is narrow so possibly tricky if you are nervous driver...but again we managed it with three different drivers.Would definitely book again!

We had a fabulous stay at The Beach House and was perfect for our requirements for a long weekend to visit and celebrate an elderly parent's birthday who live locally and with family who live in Porthtowan. Whilst we used it as a base and for breakfast, it was very condrtsbke for 6 adults and 1 teenager. The beds were extremely comfortable with big feather duvets and luxury bed linen and their was plenty of hot water for all the bathrooms and showers. The views are stunning and worth the steps up from the car each time. All in all we enjoyed this house and have already booked for a longer visit next summer.

The property was excellent however there was no prior information about the difficult access up steps from the car park area that had a narrow unmade track approach which would have influenced my booking.

Really lovely house with great views over the bay. Ideal place for a grown up family to celebrate my husbands 60th. Lots of space and really well equipt. The parking is a bit tricky, car park in the village free for the next few months.

Great property, good kitchen facilities, great location near the beach, but the uneven access caused more issues than expected; one of our party fell on loose decking and broke their glasses.

This house is in a stunning location with amazing sea views. It was exceptionally clean and had everything we needed for our weeks holiday. We had adults, an infant and dogs too. It felt spacious enough that we all had our own spaces and the fact there were 4 bathrooms was amazing. The steps upto the house are difficult but so worth it.

Great holiday house and close to beach. We appreciated the improvements that have been made to the property since our last visit but we missed the large bbq which has been replaced with a small one not big enough when cooking for ten guests .

Wow those steps !!

Excellent but details are right about the steps. Would not suit anyone with mobility/medical problems. View fantastic as were locals except for abusive neighbour as we were trying to load our car this morning. Can’t possibly repeat her language but people renovating next door helpful. Nervous car Parker's beware of steep drive

Lovely property with great views, comfortable and well equipped. We've stayed in the village several times but this was our first time in this house, I'm sure it won't be the last.Lots of steps up to the property, might be a problem for older and less physically fit people, but weren't a problem for us. The views are worth it! We found the steep driveway a bit of a problem but found parking elsewhere
