Gecko Beach

The location of the property is amazing, a stones throw from the beach, beach bar and a lovely restaurant, aswell as being on the coastal path.

Cannot fault the location. I will miss watching the sunsets from the beach. The flat was clean, comfortable and warm but a little tired around the edges - the freezer door is slightly hanging off and the electric socket in the bedroom doesnt work are two examples. Many reviewers have already mentioned the tiny sink in the bathroom. Also the balcony is currently undergoing renovation which meant the view wasn't at its best. We very much appreciated the welcome gifts after a long drive getting there. Would we stay again? Yes we would, it was exceptional value for the beach side location it offers.

Gecko beach is a lovely flat with great access to the beach and the village amenities.

It was spotless inside and had everything needed in the kitchen. Great to have a washing machine and airer and private parking space. The only thing I would suggest is a new blind in the bedroom and maybe sort the balcony. It didn’t bother us or spoil our stay but it detracts from what is a very pretty spot in Porthtowan. Would we stay again??most definitely. Loved listening to the children playing in the park and wave watching from the balcony. Highly recommend this sweet flat.

We really enjoyed our stay at Gecko Beach (despite the wind and rain!

). Comfortable, well-equipped accommodation. Glorious walks and excellent cafe nearby. Porth Towan is a different and special place.

Tip for fellow travellers the sink is tiny, so bring a washcloth if you want to wash more than your hands or brush you teeth.

Fantastic view from balcony and ideally placed for walks along the coast.

Highly recommend this lovely apartment.

Felt at home as soon as we arrived. Don’t usually book the same place twice but really tempted. Thanks Ben for the wonderful stay and treats left.

Great stay at Gecko Beach.

Loved the location especially but also the cleanliness, welcome and every facility provided for. Can't fault the instructions to get there. Really friendly local shop 1 minute away (pricey of course but we're happy to contribute towards the local economy for the sake of convenience) Extra interest added because of the owners adventuring past experience- Gecko's abound in the property!) If there was one negative it would be the (tiny) size of the washbasin in the bathroom - but hey!, it just washed our feet at the same time as washing our hands, a minor issue.

Had a fantastic stay .

wonderful apartment and perfect location for exploring the beautiful coastal paths. That happy with the apartment I have already booked again in September. Many thanks Ben for the wine and treats and the wonderful accommodation. Can't wait to get back in September !!

Excellent place to stay if you're a walker, right on the coastal path.

Welcomed with a bottle of wine can some beautiful biscuits. We could have done with an extra blanket but otherwise an extremely comfortable stay. Would visit again.

Very clean and comfortable, enjoyed our one week's stay, great bolthole for the beach, walking and travelling around Cornwall, would highly recommend to anyone.

Gecko Beach was just what we needed for a relaxing week by the sea and perfectly located for exploring local beaches and some beautiful stretches of the coastal path.

The apartment was thoughtfully setup, with a well-equipped kitchen, new bathroom, a comfy bed and a balcony with views of the sea. We will definitely be recommending this place to anyone wanting to visit this beautiful part of the country!

We had a lovely relaxing stay and lots of great walks.

The flat was very comfortable and the owner was very helpful. Thanks for the lovely welcome gift!

A lovely accommodation and location, had a brilliant week, couldn't have asked for more and the weather was great as well, Thanks Alan May.

Lovely location great cooking facilities, Thank you for the wine and biscuits .

Great photography. Would definitely stay again . Highly recommend

Very comfortable, well equipped, modernised apartment for two in a great location right next to the beach and children's play area.

Ben very friendly.

The oven wasn’t working so emailed the owner as advised and received a sarcastic reply about using the grill instead, not very helpful.

The heating was not working either none of the radiators ever came on, considering this was the last week of September we expected to have some form of heating. We didn’t bother contacting the owner considering his previous unhelpful reply. This was the third time we had booked this property so we were very disappointed.

Very comfortable flat close to everything we needed.

Peaceful and quiet

Great location near the sea and good local amenities near by, pub food local shop.

Lovely coastal walks from the door step. Appreciated wine and biscuits.

Great location and lovely accommodation.

Well equiped flat with everything we needed, furniture was comfortable, only issue is that for very tall people the bed was a bit short.

The situation was perfect for the beach and the local facilities being literally 2 minutes walk from the beach. Owner has sought to provide everything that mattered Will certainly consider coming back to this flat

Fab location!

Porthtowan is a little gem and Gecko Beach was very well positioned - great to just walk out onto the beach and be so close to wonderful coastal walks! There's all you need in Porthtowan with a few good restaurants (Blue Bar really relaxed and fun) and brilliant village shop. The fish and chip place next to village shop is fantastic!!! (Just be sure to book collection online early). And Porthtowan is a great place from which to explore Cornwall! The apartment was lovely, very well equipped and comfortable. We appreciated a few treats on arrival! Only downside for us were the bedroom blinds in the bedroom let too much light in - recommend blackout blinds or thicker curtains. Overall a fantastic & relaxing holiday, thank you

Lovely village in great setting.

The flat is close to the beach with easy access to the beach and some stunning cliff top walks. The owner provides plenty of local information and recommendations for great days out. With easy access to the A30 this is a great place to Base your visit to the North Cornish coast.

We enjoyed our stay at Gecko Beach it was comfortable and had everything we needed.

The owner was friendly and helpful when we met him. It was interesting to watch the surfers and the cliff top walks along the South West Coastal path were brilliant. There were no negatives about the property but we were disappointed to be refused service at the local fish and chip shop on our first night because we had not booked! We would stay at Gecko Beach again.
