Dolphins is a lovely holiday home located within the popular, Carthew Court complex, ideal for a small family. No matter the weather, you have beautiful sea views over Porthmeor, via the large floor to ceiling windows and patio door from the sitting room. Enjoy your morning coffee outside on the sea facing patio, while you plan your day ahead, or to the rear of the property, is a larger enclosed patio, a real sun trap, where you can all relax and sunbathe in peace and quiet, with only birdsong around you.
A short walk down Porthmeor Hill will lead you to the crowd-pleasing surfing beach, where you could easily spend the day. You have the choice of hiring surf boards, stand up paddle boards, or taking lessons, for those eager to learn. Two nearby cafes will keep you fed and watered throughout the day, or you can simply walk a couple of minutes further into the bustling town centre, where you can find a further four beaches, boat trips to see the seals, restaurants, bars and boutiques for all ages.

The dolphins was a lovely home away from home, with amazing sea views and only around a 10 minute walk away from most main amenities and attractions. The house was lovely and clean on arrival.

Miss Hackett Jul 2021
It was so spacious and well equipped. We immediately felt at home and pampered by our surroundings and our lovely view. I didn't want to leave.
Mrs Lockett May 2021
We are a family with two young children and this place was absolutely perfect for us. The views from downstairs and upstairs were incredible. Waking up early with kids is the norm but when you look out of the window and see the sun rise it’s nothing short of magical. The place was very spacious and having a front and back garden meant we were able to catch the sun in the morning and afternoon. Definitely recommend this place to anyone.
Mr Wilde Apr 2021
Gorgeous and cosy cottage with fabulous sea views and in a great location. We stayed for a week and had a wonderful time. Kitchen very well equipped as well. Highly recommend!
Ms Silberstein Nov 2020
The view from the open plan living and kitchen area was excellent. The property had a nice bright feel and was equipped with everything you could possibly need. The property was ideally situated on the quiet edge of town with a pleasant 10 minute walk into the centre. It's not ideal for anyone with mobility issues, however if this is not an issue, I would highly recommend.

We are glad to hear that you liked Dolphins- 3 Carthew Court; you certainly get a lovely view from there! Sitting above the town, away from the hustle and bustle, but close enough to walk in; it does involve an uphill walk back to the property after a day at one of the stunning beaches of St Ives. As you rightly say, with the property being over 2 floors and that walk up from the town, the property may not work for everyone, but we are glad that you agreed that it was worth it. Tanya, Customer Services
We enjoyed a relaxing week in this clean, well furnished and equipped property. Can recommend. If we had been earlier in the year the outside spaces would have been ideal.
Mrs Reynolds Oct 2020
Lovely clean place with excellent sea views. The walk into town can be steep in places but we managed fine with two very young children.
Mrs Cutting Oct 2020
Great property and shown on the images, great workout walking to the property as St Ives is quite hilly. Thank you for a great base for an amazing holiday.
Mr Ash Aug 2020
Dolphins is a fabulous property with amazing views of the sea and beach. It is perfectly equipped we had a very enjoyable stay and hope to go back again.!
