Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Porthtowan

Wow - what an amazing place to stay! This is probably the most memorable AirBnB I have stayed in so far. You are right on the edge of the seafront and by the harbour, with the double aspect living room enabling you to see both - the sea views are just stunning. Margaret was a really friendly and communicative host, and the parking space is good. I would heartily recommend this as a great place to stay; it is just so special being able to look out and see the sea from bed, and to hear the waves lapping at the shore as you go to sleep or make your cup of tea in the morning.

Lovely stay at Ems place. Ideal location to get to different areas of Cornwall and a 5 min walk from the shops. Really lovely views, a real treat to be able to look at the sea and at Michael’s mount when having breakfast. Very clean and great amenities. Em herself was very responsive, very friendly and super helpful. Great for the dogs too. Thanks!

Before we had checked out, we had reserved for next year. A superb property, in a beautiful, quiet location, but is just 10 minutes walk away from bars and restaurants. 1 minute walk from a beach, next door to an historic ancient church and absolutely idyllic. Highly recommended.

Perfect little spot to stay, right in the centre of everywhere we planned on visiting. Rachel was very good with communicating with us, and had a nice surprise to some drinks and cake in the fridge for when we arrived! Would highly recommend 👌

A blissful retreat, with absolutely stunning views. The Bothy is cozy and well kitted out, and the hosts are incredibly thoughtful.

We loved are stay, it was beautiful, peaceful, felt like you were miles from anywhere. Great hosts, very quick response to messages. It was a little hot the first night so we ask if they had a fan and they supplied one strait away. Could not ask for a better place to stay. Highly recommend

We had a really wonderful stay in Polvenna beachhouse. The house is clean, spacious and light, with a cosy, beachy interior. The beds and showers are great and the kitchen is very well equipped. We all loved the amazing view and the sound of the waves when lying in bed at night. It was really magical. Porthtowan has a great beach. We loved the rockpool and rented surfboards. The village store is a short walk down and sells fresh bread. Nearby St. Agnes is lovely and has some great restaurants. This is a good place to visit the rest of Cornwall from. Don’t hesitate to book!

We had the most amazing stay here. Where do I start! Deborah greeted us on arrival and showed us around, putting us at ease right away. We were blown away by how well presented, clean and homely the house was. But what we loved the most was the beautiful garden with outdoor seating, the bbq which we used every night and the hot tub which was a firm favourite! Especially with my young boys, who spent hours in there! We absolutely loved our stay and looked forward to returning from days out to the beach to relaxing in the peaceful surroundings. We would highly recommend Deborah’s place to anyone looking for high quality, cosy and serene accommodation. Deborah was the perfect host, she is so friendly and respectful and always responded to messages quickly. Thank you so much for such a memorable stay!

Really great communication, the place has excellent views and the location is perfect. Thank you for letting us stay also with our puppy.

Chris was an amazing host, she was so helpful and let us know how to get to the main town and all the good places. You couldn’t ask for anything more from this place, it had everything you needed: from essential spices to breakfast essentials. The bathroom had all of the essentials you would need on a trip. Bed was comfortable and it was very spacious. Couldn’t recommend this place enough if you are visiting the area. Will definitely be back. We couldn’t have loved our stay more😃

Sarah has been an excellent host in every way. The boathouse itself is beautiful and extremely quiet being left in total peace. Our dog loved it and felt like he was at home! The drive through the narrow roads to get to the secluded location is worth it!

A stunning and beautifully looked after home. Great location and view with an easy walk in to town. We’ll be back!

It is a great space this airbnb has been understated. I have just left Nigels very large accomodation to arrive at my next airbnb only to find it bijou to be polite! and certainly not in such a lovely location. In comparison this similarly priced accomodation woud fit into Nigels 5 times.

Incredibly friendly host and a lovely and cozy place. There is a bike hire shop and a tin mines museum 4 minutes down the road. Plus a nice medieval themed pub practically next down. Excellent place to stay

Perfectly situated and a beautiful place to stay. Claire responded really fast with any queries I had. The apartment is gorgeous! I felt relaxed and like I was at home. The apartment has everything anyone would need for a perfect stay. I found some lovely local shops and have bought a few things to remind me of my visit. Would highly recommend the Happy Piranha for some quirky fun gifts! I will definitely be visiting again! Thank you so much Claire, you are an excellent host.

Great base for a few days, lovely clean apartment. The host was helpful and friendly would definitely recommend

lovely setting with a gorgeous airbnb! perfect for a group of friends celebrating 🙌 the hot tub and sauna were a perfect touch for a coastal location. We could walk to the sea and there were so many fun activities that Three Mile Beach helped us organise. 10/10 would recommend!

We were so impressed with all the staff who were so friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and they responded to everything really quickly. The property (Strawberry Fields) was beautiful and furnished in an original and tasteful way. Everything was considered. We had all we needed. The hot tub was well used by us all. Even though we were surrounded by other properties it still felt completely private. The location was excellent being so close to the beach. We all had an amazing holiday (including the dog) and felt that we had a week of real luxury.

I write on a personal note as well (to show how amazing the hosts were). The night after we arrived my parents’ dog, Mollie went missing. Kaye and Lindsey pulled out all the stops to help search for her. Sadly the day before we left, the dog was found but it wasn’t a good outcome. But they’d joined in the search intensely all week, organising local people to come help, a farmer to help with cutting back vegetation, searching at various hours of the day in an effort to find Mollie. They really were brilliant.

We can't recommend Lindsey and Kaye's place enough! Beautiful surroundings in peace and quiet, perfect for our dog to run around and enjoy the land. The hot tub was used every evening and was a real treat after a long day of walking, it was also tucked away and private which made it more relaxing and enjoyable (not all hot tubs in Airbnb's are!). The comfty bed, massive rain shower, stunning kitchen/lounge area were all incredible, but having the views, open space,, and all the little touches that Lindsey and Kaye have added are what make this stay special. Lindsey showed us around and was always on hand to chat and recommend things/give helpful advice, and Kaye was kind enough to show us how the pizza oven works and make sure we were okay! As I said, I can't recommend this place enough, especially if you have a dog (ours loved playing with their beautiful dog, Dodger). The pictures don't do it justice! Quick recommendations: Praa Sands, Porthcurno Beach & Minack Theatre - must see!

fabulous location, great accommodation, spotlessly clean and the best welcome basket weeve ever had!

Extremely well equipped, welcoming, super clean, plenty of instructions and information about the house and area. Comfortable beds, tastefully decorated, super garden, plenty of parking, great hot tub, acres of storage, what wasn’t to like!

This is a beautiful, clean and well located property. The view of the harbor each morning was spectacular and it was very convenient to all Falmouth activities. Sandra was very communicative before and during the stay and gave great recommendations for local spots to dine. We thoroughly enjoyed our family’s stay and hope to have the opportunity to return.
