Kid-friendly vacation rentals in St Ives

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!

Comfortable, thoughtfully provisioned, spotlessly clean and modern fixtures. Couldn’t hope for any better. Thank you

What an incredible 5 days, the balcony studio truly delivered. Breathtaking views over the harbour and surrounding areas topped off with luxury accommodation. The place was spotlessly cleaned and brilliantly maintained. Coffee tea and milk ready for arrival companies by welcome bubbly. Would highly recommend anyone to stay if you get the chance BEST SPOT IN ST IVES

Great stay in an excellent location, would highly recommend :)

really enjoyed our stay, very well equipped

I spent a lovely few days at Alan's place in St. Ives! I'd highly recommend it for anyone who's looking for a central location close to the sea and so many great restaurants, shops, and cafes. St. Eia wine bar/cafe was such a treat and 1 minutes from our doorstop. The house itself was so charming and decorated beautifully.

We had the most wonderful stay in St Agnes — such a quaint and friendly village with some amazing places to eat (don’t miss The Cornish Pizza Company!). St Agnes Head at sunset was truly stunning, and the whole village was incredibly dog friendly — our elderly companion was warmly welcomed everywhere we went. There are gorgeous short walks perfect for a gentle potter, and it’s clear there are longer routes for the more adventurous too. As for The Bower Barn — it was an absolute dream! The place had everything we needed and more. The vibes were spot-on: cozy, stylish, and completely relaxing. The enclosed garden was huge and felt so private and safe — especially appreciated coming from London. We were lucky with the weather and loved being able to open all the skylights upstairs to let the breeze in. We stayed for three nights and genuinely didn’t want to leave. I already wish we’d booked for longer — and we’re already planning our return. Can’t recommend it enough!

A true home away from home. Well located to the centre of St Ives and Gillian went above and beyond for us with all the amenities we could have needed. The Villa was perfect, really clean and spacious. We loved our stay.

Fantastic communication from Maxine throughout my visit and a really lovely apartment that looked just like the photos! I had much needed recharge time in st ives in the middle of an extended trip ad the apartment was just perfect! 5 stars!

The apartment was clean, comfortable and spacious and centrally located. Geeta was kind and communicative and we enjoyed our stay there very much. St Ives is a beautiful town with sensational beaches.

What a great find! We’ve been visiting St Ives for many years and happened to notice Anna’s place when our daughter decided not to join us and we looked for somewhere new. Absolutely beautiful accommodation, which exceeded expectations and completely spotless. Everything you need for a totally relaxing stay including some special treats waiting for us on arrival. The photos matched the accommodation perfectly. Great kitchen, really comfortable bed, excellent bathroom and shower, great living room with a smart TV for when you need it. Easy to walk into town and back. It is uphill but from Porthmeor beach takes about 12 minutes to get up and 8 minutes to get down. So many restaurants and bars to choose from. Lovely walks and great scenery. If you’ve not been to St Ives before you must go, and if you’ve are looking for the perfect accommodation then this is it. Oh and did I mention the garage - great for parking the car and essential in St Ives as parking is not easy.

Lovely place to stay with wonderful sea views. The apartment has everything you could possibly need and we thought the decor was very tasteful and stylish with great finishes. Smashing kitchen, great wifi and comfortable beds with cotton bedding and a lovely bathroom with a powerful shower. Hosts were extremely helpful.

We had the most amazing weather for our stay. Two of us shared the apartment. We discovered various steps to take us to town. The cab to the flat from the station was only £6 and well worth it on the way up! We really enjoyed The Sloop Inn and a restaurant called Silko on the quay St Ives. The best coffee by far was Mount Zion. The flat was really quiet and the beds comfortable. The Spa was really great and the views from the Spa Hotel were great. Lunch there was v tasty and the staff were sympathetic.

Just back from a lovely stay at this cute apartment. We found it very easily and it was perfectly placed at the back of St Ives so easy to drive to and from without getting involved with tiny cobbled lanes. Still only a short walk (albeit up a hill) down to the town and harbour. . Liked that we could drop all our gear off before moving car to car park. Vanessa gave us good advice about where to park. There was only one fault which the owners can’t do anything about and didn’t worry us and that is the seagulls. They loved sitting on the roof and then splattering the back yard. There is a hose and brush but we were always out and about so never bothered to sit there. Would definitely like to stay again.

Lisa’s place was so charming and comfortable. The view was amazing! We loved eating outside after making meals in the fully, well equipped kitchen. We also loved sitting in the pretty sunroom. It was a quick walk to the train which took us into St Ives. Also a short but steep walk to the beautiful beach, just bring your own beach towels, chairs or mat because none are provided. Lisa left us a nice bottle of wine and offered to let us check in early once the cleaning was done. We had a very relaxing stay.

Lovely modern, clean studio in a great location just 15 minute walk to the town. Friendly and helpful hosts. Would love to return one day.

We had a lovely week in Emily & Matt's flat. We liked that you can walk into town but also to Fistral beach & quieter areas. Great views - I enjoyed relaxing, reading in the bay window. I treated myself to swim & breakfast at Headland hotel (special offer).

We have just spent a wonderful few days at Andy and Philippa’s apartment in St Ives. It is seconds from Porthmeor beach at the island end, around 7 minutes from the town. The apartment is beautifully and thoughtfully decorated with every mod con you could want for your stay. The apartment was immaculately clean and communication was always super quick and easy. Andy and Philippa went above and beyond to make our stay just perfect, thank you so much!

Lovely apartment with fabulous views over Carbis Bay and St Ives. Everything that we needed for a restful and relaxing holiday, very tastefully fitted out, and well appointed place to stay. Becky and Alex made sure we were settled in and had everything we required. A perfect few days away. Thank you.

We had such a lovely stay! The accommodation was as described, really clean with beautiful art. The view from the garden was stunning. Jane was so friendly & helpful from the moment we booked. Carbis Bay beach is a short walk away with restaurants looking out over the sea. It's so easy to get around, the station is a quick walk away & less than 5 minutes to get into St Ives. The location was perfect for us, we spent a day travelling around to Lands End & St Michael's Mount. Everything was perfect, would definitely recommend & would love to stay again!

It was close to the beach, but it was nice that it was quiet. There were a lot of stairs in the house, so it was a little difficult to go up and down with luggage, but there were 2 bathrooms and it was clean, so it was a satisfying trip! Thanks to you, it was a fun trip.

The cottage was excellent. It was spacious and very well laid out. It was super clean and Hannah had left fresh flowers, biscuits tea and coffee for our arrival. It had a lovely garden with table and chairs for when the sun shone. The heating system and hot water worked extremely well for when it was cold and wet. The cottage is located up the hill out of St Ives. We used to walk down which was 15mins max and get a taxi from the rank outside the cinema on the way back which cost a fiver….. no brainer 😜 I would certainly recommend Hannah’s cottage and I’m sure we will go back at sometime in the future. Many thanks Steve & Jan

was a lovely place to stay a short walk to the beach. Diana was extremely helpful! we all love it

This particular apartment had a most memorable deck and view just like the picture. We cherished sitting on deck and watching the beach, waves and people every morning and evening. The cool ocean breeze was also very nice for June as the weather was heating up elsewhere in UK. I f the weather is good, guests are in for a real treat staying here. Room has everything you need and good wifi even on the deck. Would absolutely stay here again if ever in the area!
