Wharf Watch offers you relaxed and unique accommodation in an unrivalled position in the heart of the bay. Located just five minutes from Porthminster beach, Morwenstow apartments offer breathtaking views to Godrevy Lighthouse and beyond. This upper garden level apartment is spacious so you'll have plenty of space to enjoy your family time together, but when the kids are tucked up in up in bed or watching a film on their own Smart TV you can claim the evening for yourselves whilst you relax on the balcony with a glass of wine, watching the beautiful views.
The kitchen is kitted out to a high specification but if you choose to escape the cooking completely you can enjoy the best local cafe bars and restaurants - you'll be absolutely spoilt for choice! With each apartment having their own parking space within a secure gated area, you can come and go as you please. No need to get in the car for St Ives town though as it's a pleasant 10 minute walk to the shops and restaurants or the water's edge of Porthminster beach. A path leading from the landscaped gardens winds its way onto the coastal path where you can reach either St Ives or Carbis Bay within a very enjoyable half an hour. Either way, you end up on a beach of fine sand and calm waters where normally the young or old amongst you can swim, paddle or partake in some gentle water sports. For the livelier, Porthmeor beach is on the other side of the town where the waves are some of the best to learn to surf or perfect your style.
large L-shaped sofa, knitted footstool, smart TV, Bose iPod dock, dining table with four chairs, patio doors leading to private balcony with outside furniture, stunning view. Kitchen with Miele integrated appliances; dishwasher, washer/dryer, electric oven and hob, combination oven microwave, fridge/freezer. Dualit accessories and wine cooler.

It was a beautiful, fabulously decorated spacious apartment. Great to having parking. Perfect views. Lovely welcome pack. It was a great base for us to have for St Ives as we love walking.

The one who returns the ball to the Guildhall steps by midday receives a silver coin. In the afternoon the Mayor then throw pennies from the balcony of the Guildhall for children to collect.

Mrs Alldred May 2018
Highly recommend this stunning apartment. We stayed with our 2 young children and loved the large kids bedroom and that we could walk to at least 5 beautiful beaches from the door. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in St.Ives.
Mrs Hailey April 2018
The standard of presentation was excellent, location and views were perfect and the arrangements through Aspects was very professional. We really had a great time and were sorry to have to leave. Would certainly recommend the apartments and will probably be back soon.

Immaculate, pristine, gorgeous apartments. Plenty of room for four, very well equipped, perfect location - at least as good in reality as on website. Pleasantly surprised as more roomy than had thought would be. Great!
Ms Ibbotson July 2016
Wonderful stay here! Truly amazing views and easily walkable to Porthminster and Carbis Bay beaches. A gorgeous apartment but could do with better soundproofing. Very useful to have dedicated secure car parking on the doorstep.
