White Cove is located in one of the most sought after areas in St Ives, literally just a few paces away from Porthgwidden Beach and benefits from some lovely views. As well as this, the property is pet-friendly, and with The Island and Porthmeor Beach next door and year-round dog walking beach Bamaluz close by, walks with your pooch will be perfect all year round. You can stroll along most beaches during dog-friendly periods. The property inside is bright with a modern finish, and provides a lovely space for families or couples to enjoy and with the beach as your back garden, what's not to love!
White Cove also has a lovely snug area at the top of the house to cosy down and read a good book and a handy bench to the front of the property to sit with your cuppa in the mornings and soak in that sea air!

We very much enjoyed 'White Cove'. It was a wonderful location - very convenient for body boarding and then getting warm quickly!
The decor was lovely - very bright and fresh.
It was well equipped and with excellent instructions/information given about the equipment in the house.
