Crystal View is your front-row seat to the Cornish coast. Wake up to sea views, step out for beach days and coastal walks, then come home to a stylish, peaceful apartment made for slow mornings, relaxed evenings and proper St Ives memories. Perfect for couples, families or friends wanting comfort, location and that wow-factor view.

We bought Crystal View as our own coastal escape, a place to slow down, breathe in the sea air and spend proper quality time together as a family. For us, it’s all about those simple but unforgettable moments: waking up to the view, enjoying a slow morning coffee, walking down to the beach, exploring St Ives, sharing relaxed meals and coming back to a calm, comfortable space at the end of the day. We’ve created the apartment with the same care, comfort and attention to detail we’d want for ourselves. We appreciate beautiful surroundings, thoughtful touches and a little bit of luxury, and we wanted Crystal View to feel like somewhere guests can fully switch off and feel looked after. We’re always happy to share local recommendations, from favourite beaches and coastal walks to places to eat, drink and explore. Our hope is that every guest experiences the same feeling we do when we stay here, relaxed, refreshed and completely away from it all.
