  • "Ocean view is a lovely property with the beach only a short distance away."

    We loved our time here. The property has everything a family could need for a home from home stay. The owner was exceptionally helpful when we needed help with a hot water issue which was resolved quickly. Can’t wait to book for the summer.

  • "Lovely house with the perfect location."

    However our experience was that the cleaning was rushed as one of the king beds was not made with pillows all over the floor and some of the glass was all stained and so was the oven. We are not normally fussy but we hate the thought of someone else’s bedding and mess. A lady did offer clean bedding later that day which was appreciated. It was also really hot upstairs and we noted that the central heating could not be changed. Therefore perhaps a fan should be made available. Shame that the outdoor furniture was all ripped and not at all comfy and the bbq is in poor condition and really should not be advertised as having a bbq. We took bbq food etc but no way woukd we use it! The house is up for sale so perhaps that is why the house was not up to the normal high standard. We have never booked through Sykes before and never will going forward as they r not contactable for any queries and do not respond to messages. Obviously they want the owners commission and it’s clear they are not interested in the person booking. Overall we would go back to the house but would like to deal direct with the owner and NOT Sykes.

  • "The house is beautiful clean and comfortable."

    The location couldn’t be more perfect, less than a two minute walk to a lovely beach with plenty of room and ideal for the children. I would definitely stay here again. My only slight complaint is that all the rubbish from the previous guests was still at the back of the house, but not in the garden, it was concealed in an area you wouldn’t go in, so didn’t bother us really and certainly didn’t detract from all the other lovely aspects of the house.

  • "Everything was perfect!"

    ! Just one improvement needed - some of the pillows are a bit lumpy! But that is a minor thing and everything else was fantastic! Would definitely stay there again.

  • "Lovely house well equipped, clean and excellent location."

    Plenty of parking. Can be difficult to get out when people park opposite as the road is narrow. You can see and hear the sea which is perfect.

  • "The only thing of note is the directions stated to find the post office and that is no longer there."

    It is now a cafe and shop. The place was absolutely amazing!

    Hi there, it is a shop called The Post Office, which is detailed in our description! Thank you and glad you had an enjoyable time. Property Owner

  • "Amazing place to stay."

    the place in general was really clean and spotless. the only problem we had was with the cooker we could only use the pots that they had provided us to use, however for the one week we did stay it was absolutely magnificent.

  • "A very comfortable, modern house in a new development."

    The house is nicely and lovingly decorated throughout and feels like a proper home. The welcome supply was more than generous, thank you so much! Location is ideal, very close to a sandy beach which is great for swimming, watersports and just having a relaxing time. Costal path offering wonderful walking routes in both directions is close by. Convenience store with good selection is only steps away. Surf school/hire at the beach.

    Dear Silke, Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review. We really appreciate it. You were our first ever guests. It meant a lot that you enjoyed Ocean View as much as we do as a family. It's a magical place. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Property Owner

The property

Ocean View.

Enjoying a peaceful location and just a short stroll to the beach, a mile of beautiful sand, take in the fabulous views.

Perched in the coastal village of Praa Sands in Cornwall, is this contemporary three-bedroom house, set in small cul-de-sac along the coast, with stylish interior with thoughtful décor, ensuring a group or family of six have everything they could want in a family friendly home in Cornwall.

Park-up on the driveway with space for two cars, before making your way into your new home-from-home.

Be welcomed into the chic open-plan living space with sea views, where you can look forward to conjuring up delicious feasts in the well equipped kitchen, featuring a handy dishwasher and washer/dryer, ready to enjoy at the dining table for six over a bottle of wine.

If the weather is nice, why not fire up the barbecue and dine alfresco out in the rear enclosed garden where you can enjoy fantastic sea views?

There is also a surfboard rack and outdoor tap for washing off sandy toes after a day at the beach!

As the evening grows dark, retire to the plush seating in the sitting room to watch a family favourite on the Smart TV or snuggle up with a good book.

Climb the stairs to the first floor, where you can indulge in a soothing soak in the bath or refreshing shower, before catching your rest in one of three well appointed super-king-size bedrooms, one of which has beautiful sea views and an en-suite shower room, whilst the others have zip/link for flexible sleeping arrangements, all have a Smart TV for your convenience.

Explore the local village, where you will find the delightful Sandbar offering a tasty menu and local ales, ideal for those evenings when you don’t feel like cooking!

There is also the charming Post Office café where you can grab a light bite and a well-stocked convenience store for picking up fresh ingredients.

Pack up your towels, bathing suits, buckets and spades and head straight for Praa Sands Beach, where you can bathe, paddle the shores or take to the waters on your surfboard or kayak.

Keen walkers will delight at the close proximity of the renowned South West Coast Path, where you can expect some of the best sites and scenery in the region.

Take the short drive over to Marazion, home to the famous St Michael’s Mount, which houses a medieval castle and Norman church and can easily be accessed via boat.

Here you will also find the Marazion Museum, the RSPB Marazion Marsh and the fabulous Long Rock Beach, where nearby you will find The Hoxton Special where you can rent all the watersports equipment you could need.

About the location

PRAA SANDS

Marazion 4.5 miles ; Helston 6 miles ; Porthleven 5 miles

The village of Praa Sands sits on the south coast in between Helston and Marazion. Praa Sands is known for its mile-long sandy beach and excellent surfing conditions. There is a bar/restaurant overlooking the beach – the perfect spot for lunch with a view or sunset drinks. Praa Sands is also home to a Golf and Country Club, from where the most wonderful sea vista can be enjoyed whilst you play. Just inland from the beach is Pengersick Castle, the tower of which dates back to the 16th century. It is said that Pengersick is haunted, and that the ghost of a monk has been seen wandering the grounds! The house at Pengersick is rumoured to be the birth place of John Carter, the self styled King of Prussia and a tunnel which leads from the house to the beach was apparently once used by smugglers. There are supermarkets and other retail stores in Penzance (8 miles) and Helston (6 miles).
