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.

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.
