Shopping in St Ives
From books to jewellery to freshly made food, shopping in St Ives is a Cornish tradition thanks to the cobbled streets and independent shops that line them.
Sandy Toes is a charming top floor apartment situated in St Ives town. It provides tasteful and well-equipped accommodation for a cosy and romantic getaway. You can enjoy the hustle and bustle of St Ives, its many beaches, shops and restaurants and retire back to your quiet and comfortable retreat. Sandy Toes will fit your needs perfectly, as it's an easy five minute walk into town but you are tucked away from it all, in the lovely St James Court. You also benefit from a small balcony which offers sea views over the rooftops - the perfect spot to unwind after a busy day soaking up the sun.
access via a communal door, four flights of stairs leading to the front door. Entry into the hallway:
sofa, armchair, TV/DVD, doors to balcony, two chairs.
table with seating for two, fridge/freezer, gas hob, electric oven, washing machine.
double bed.
bath with shower over, WC, basin.
top floor apartment, gas central heating, No children under 12, WiFi, short breaks available.
The flat was lovely and clean upon our arrival, exactly as described and actually quite spacious for a getaway for two! It's in an ideal location, far away enough from the hustle and bustle of the harbour so that we weren't bothered in our sleep but close enough that both porthmeor and porthminster can be reached on foot. Overall we have had a wonderful time and would definitely return!

A wonderful little apartment. Perfectly located, only a 5 minute walk in to St Ives. Apartment was immaculately clean. Didn’t want to leave!! Will definitely be returning.

A lovely week away in Cornwall in November
Mr Martin Dec 2023
Comfortable, well-equipped flat, a ten minute walk from the harbour, and a very quiet refuge from the crowds. Comprehensive instructions provided for all the equipment, plenty of storage space and a good shower. The bed is comfortable but definitely firm! Those without a car might find the walk back up the hill from the sea front slightly challenging. We enjoyed our stay at Sandy Toes.

We were so pleased to see how much you enjoyed your time at Sandy Toes, being out of the town centre, it certainly provides a quieter base, but still gives you quick access to both the town and beaches. Since your stay, the owners have changed the mattress to something that they believe may suit a wider range of guests, hopefully you’ll return in the near future and give it a try. Ben, Customer Services.
Raised a few issues with Aspects, which will hopefully be followed up for future guests.

Thank you for your review and for taking the time to get in touch while you were here. All of your helpful and constructive comments were passed onto the owners and their housekeepers, so that they could get things addressed. Hopefully it won't be long before you're back again in the future! Ben, Customer Services.
Lovely 2nd floor apartment about 10 minutes walk from the Quay. Apartment is quiet as set back from the road. It is nicely decorated and had everything we needed for a week in St Ives. Would have been handy to have been provided with washing up liquid in the kitchen instead of hand wash.
Mrs Rothwell Jun 2023
Sandy Toes is a comfortable and well equipped flat within easy walking distance of the sea and centre of St. Ives. An ideal place to stay for a couple.
Mrs Cook May 2023
What a beautiful apartment and spotlessly clean. I highly recommend
Mr Burrows Jan 2023
My boyfriend and I had a lovely stay at Sandy Toes this September. The apartment had everything we needed for the week, such as a great kitchen as we wanted to cook and a very comfortable bed. It was clean and lived up to our high expectations given brilliant previous stays with Aspects. The location was slightly far out, not a problem for us as we enjoyed the walk into town but less ideal for people who want to be in the centre of things. But for us it was a wonderful holiday and the perfect place to stay for a couple.
Miss Barrell Sep 2022
Sandy Toes was perfect for us. Would be only for able people as there are 3 flights of stairs. Accommodation was very comfortable and nice view across St lves. Sadly it rained 4 out of 5 days.but that's English weather just a shame it spoilt it
Mr Reynolds Sep 2022
Sandy toes is a cosy comfortable apartment located perfectly in st ives, only a 10 minute walk into the town/wharf. Nice balcony view of the sea! Only downside is no parking space but there are places around to rent out a driveway.
Miss Fuller Aug 2022
I enjoyed Sandy Toes as a personal getaway for my first visit to Cornwall and St. Ives. It was quiet (well, except for the seagulls!), and the view over the rooftops to the sea from the balcony is wonderful. I appreciated being able to cook simple meals, and having a washing machine was a nice plus. Thank you Aspects Holidays, for making this American feel so at home!
Ms. Furness Jul 2022
We had a lovely 4 night stay at Sandy Toes apartment, for our wedding anniversary. Lovely apartment and a great location. Definitely will be returning in the future.
Mr Bray Jun 2022
We recently stayed at Sandy Toes apartment in the Stennack area of St.Ives that we thought would be a quieter area away from the noise/music from pubs and bars etc, unfortunately this was not the case as we had squarking seagulls nearly all day and throughout the night. The apartment itself is very nice,clean and comfortable but if you want a good nights sleep this is not for you. It is approximately a five minute walk to the shops, pubs and restaurants which is good and close enough to walk to all the beaches and harbour. There are two co-ops close by so handy for getting a few essential bits of shopping.

We are sorry to hear that it was noisier than expected due to the seagulls. Sandy Toes is definitely in a quieter location for footfall and traffic but in a seaside town like St Ives, you will never escape the seagulls, and at this time of year, during their breeding season, they are particularly active and more vocal. The sound of the seagulls is not everyone's favourite, but for many, it is a lovely reminder of just how close you are to the coast and all the lovely things that are associated with it. Tanya, Customer Services
Fantastic stay, weather was great all week, so we were really lucky. Great location, highly recomend staying here
Mr Paterson Jun 2022
Lovely accommodation. Great size for a couple. Good location, easy walk (5 mins) to harbour. We would definitely book again if staying in St Ives. Overall excellent.
Mr Lowe Nov 2020
Very good location, only 5/10 minutes walk into the town and to the beaches. Apartment was exactly as pictured, very clean and the kitchen was well equipped. The only thing that I wasn’t so happy with, was how dirty the communal stairway was up to the apartment.

Thank you for your really helpful comments and we are delighted to hear just how much you enjoyed Sandy Toes. The owner has been in contact to let us know that having checked with other owners there and her housekeeper, she is looking into your comments further about the communal area. Thanks again and we hope that we will see you back here soon. Tanya, Customer Services UPDATE- the owners have now confirmed that that the communal area is being decorated ready for bookings commencing again in April
Sandy Toes is a lovely well presented apartment. Short walk to the town but slight hill up to the apartment. The apartmwnt has a balacony that over looks the sea, there was more of a sea view then we expected. Apartment is set back off the road which means it was lovely and quiet. It was very easy to book on the aspects holidays website and they kept us updated throughout the run up and during our stay. We had a lovely 5 night mini break and i cannot find anything at all wrong with the apartment or the service provided by Aspects Holidays. Very happy customer and would highly recommend to anyone.
Mrs Underwood Oct 2020
Sandy Toes is a lovely clean and comfortable apartment . All essentials thoughtfully provided including hair dryer and iron /ironing board . The apartment is in a great location near to the centre of beautiful St Ives and would recommend the accommodation for a lovely holiday . Aspects holidays were a very friendly and helpful company to deal with .

Mr Eichholzer Sep 2019
Gorgeous and cozy apartment. Very comfortable. Home away from home.
Ms Kunene Sep 2019
It was a new build - just outside town with a short walk in for some gentle exercise Living area great with TV/DVD/CD - we took our own CDs - even has a balcony with glimpse of the sea Kitchen also good - host provided Tea/Coffee/Milk and Ice which was very useful/thoughtful Bedroom again faultless as was the bathroom with power shower Reasonably priced without things we didn't need - just right for us
Mr Milner Jun 2019
Stayed in this lovely apartment for 5 nights. It had everything we needed and is in a great location. The car park is just a 5 min walk away. Super clean, comfy bed, great bath/shower and excellent kitchen and living room facilities. The staff in the offices were extremely polite and helpful. This was our first time in Cornwall, and St Ives is truly stunning. We will certainly be returning and without a doubt will be booking our accommodation with Aspects Holiday!
Mrs Dewhurst Jun 2019
This apartment is only a very short walk from the town centre but equally out of the usual hustle and bustle. It is very clean and well decorated with plenty of kitchen equipment for your meals. I woudl definitely recommend it for a stay at St Ives. Aspect holidays are also excellent to deal with and very helpful.
Ms Lavelle Jun 2019

Mr Freeman Oct 2017
Lovely apartment in a good location :)
Mrs Whitten Jun 2017
We can recommend Sandy Toes, the location is very convenient and its position on the second floor makes it light and airy. We particularly liked the bright and modern furnishing, kitchen and bathroom and appreciated the welcome pack and fluffy bath robes. Very comfy bed and pillows
