Harbour Findings is a cute, cosy and newly renovated ground floor apartment, where a warm welcome awaits. This gorgeous property is small but perfectly formed and set within a Grade II listed building, just metres away from the water's edge. Less than a minute's walk from the comfort of your sitting room, you could be dipping your toes in the ocean. With easy access to the whole town, you can come and go as you please, from all beaches, where you'll be soaking up the sun, drinking cocktails in your favourite bar or eating a delectable meal in one of the many incredible restaurants - all right on your doorstep.
It is an ideal base for a couple looking for a relaxing, romantic holiday.

Additional information
formally known as Apartment 6 Customs House, infrared heating system, property is on the ground floor and across one level once inside, there is a communal courtyard area to store beach gear, which is next to the flat's internal door, if bringing a cot the only place for this to be left is in the sitting room. WiFi, short breaks available.
Absolutely perfect for a couple. Bigger than most places we have stayed in St. Ives. The best location for everything. So quiet and peaceful. You can pull up opposite to unload and we headed straight up to the leisure centre car park. Lovely to have a kingsize bed and two comfy sofas to relax on. We will be looking for Harbour Findings first every time we visit. A special thanks to Charlotte who made the booking for us. Outstanding customer service.

As I was travelling on my own I found the apartment very safe and spot on for being able to walk everywhere!

This property is very small, gloomy as it looks straight at another property and bedroom glass obscured. Desperate in need of renovation , repaint, refurnish, TV terrible sound quality. Bathroom and kitchen ok but bathroom needs modernising. Entrance hall is awful, full of litter, shabby, dank and dismal. It was however cheap but not cheerful

Thank you for your review. We were really sorry to see that you did not like Harbour Findings. Unfortunately, the communal entrance area is something completely out of the owner's control, but I am sure that the owner would be very interested to hear about the condition that other residents are leaving it in, so we will be sure to pass this on. We have a large range of properties that we market and we try to include a variety of properties that will suit the different styles, tastes and budgets of individuals. This property is not marketed out to be one of the higher end properties and is all about the amazing location, however, you should always expect the property to be well maintained, no matter what the style of decor or cost of the property. The owner has always been very pro-active and regularly freshens up the paintwork and gets straight on to any maintenance that may occur from time to time, but after a very busy season this year, it sounds as though it is ready to be painted again, so we will contact the owner about this and check everything on the upcoming property inspection. We do hope that you still had a wonderful time in St Ives and got to experience all this historic town has to offer. Ben, Customer Services
We had a two week stay at Harbour Findings Nice little , cosy flat . Very well equipped with all you need for a self-catering holiday. And was very clean on arrival.Very good location handy for the train station as we traveled by train . Beach and shops are close by . Now the not so good part .The communal area was a let down when we arrived and opened the communal door there was sand every, beer cans and litter thrown Under the stars case . We had to walk past this every day for two weeks . I don’t know how often it’s cleaned but it didn’t look like it had been cleaned for a while . We had a problem with noise coming from the apartment above we had disturbed sleep for ten days out of our two week stay, we contacted Aspects to be told That they had didn’t know who owned the apartment above and neither did the owner of Harbour Findings but if we could find out who Owned it then they would be happy to contact them . How was I supposed to find out if they couldn’t ? So we just had to put up with it . My Partner had recently been diagnosed with a life long illness and we’d come to beautiful St Ives for a relaxing break . But it was spoilt by lack of sleep and constant noise . Also there was problem with disposing the rubbish .we told to put rubbish in bins on the Guildhall carpark . They were locked up so we couldn’t put our rubbish in them . So I contacted Aspects to be told if the bins were locked the rubbish would be collected on our departure. So we had to keep two weeks worth of rubbish in the apartment. We felt let down by the customers service we received from Aspects . But the the apartment is a lovely place to stay and if it hadn’t been for these two issues it would of been a lovely holiday.

We are so sorry for the experience that you had on this occasion. If a member of the team asked you to investigate that yourself, we can only apologise; that is certainly not our normal practice and shouldn't have happened. The new refuse collection details should have been changed in the property, and the member of team that you spoke to should have arranged for a mid-stay collection when they realised that you were there for 2 weeks. The condition of the communal entrance area is a difficult one because while you have to walk through this area, it is not part of the property itself, is not owned or under the control of the property owner. However, we appreciate that it does not give the best first impression and it didn't sound like it had been left in a reasonable condition by other occupants. We will discuss this further with the property owner in case there is anything that can be done to help with managing this area. Fortunately, the issue of excessive noise has not been mentioned previously. We have since found that this property is also a holiday let, so it would seem that it was a one-off. We appreciate that this does not change or improve the experience that you had, and we are disappointed that you experienced this inconsiderate behaviour. We will continue to monitor further feedback, but should you ever wish to return, we have no reason to believe that this would be an issue again. We really do understand how important holidays are; we all look forward to them, even more so after recent stressful times. We can only hope that we will have the opportunity to restore your faith in our service and the properties that we manage, should you wish to return in the future. Tanya, Customer Services
