Lahaina

Lahaina is set back from the main road into St Ives and its parking for up to 4 cars is directly outside on a paved driveway. You walk into a light drenched entrance hall lit by 3 double height Velux windows and a Tom Raffield light. There is a feature wall with paddles above a two seater sofa perfect for perching on when putting your shoes on before heading outdoors. There is a small cupboard in the entrance hallway for stashing away boots or buggies and wet coats. There is a retractable stair gate at the foot of the stairs which is great for stopping over enthusiastic toddlers or dogs from heading upstairs. From the entrance, you can't help but be drawn into the open plan kitchen, dining room and living room. It's so inviting and spacious, we feel confident guests will instantly fall in love with Lahaina.  

The super stylish, handcrafted kitchen, painted in dark navy is very well-equipped to cater for a self-catering holiday in St Ives. The island houses the induction hob, wine fridge, drawers and, on the tiled side of the island, sits four stools by Pedrali for propping up the chef while they make a spectacular feast for all. The white quartz kitchen counters reflect the huge amounts of sunshine that drenches the house from both sides. Integrated appliances are AEG with an under counter freezer, full size integrated upright fridge and integrated oven, microwave and dishwasher too. This fully equipped kitchen is perfect for home cooking and plus there is an outdoor kitchen area with matching tiles where you can BBQ on the outside grill. Wake up to the smell of coffee with a Nespresso coffee machine and prepare Cornish butter drenched sourdough toast with the Dualit 4-slice toaster. 

The dining table with Pedrali dining chairs accommodates 8 people easily. The chairs have been chosen to offer comfort all evening long for the perfect dinner party. The table looks out onto the sun terrace accessed via double doors that can be wide open to let in the warm, Cornish air and sunshine. A Tom Raffield wooden lamp subtly lights the dining table from above and other occasional lamps and plants offer a real home from home feel as well as the most sumptuous of sofas offering the best loafing experience ever! There is an additional armchair with footrest, Smart TV and Bang & Olufsen Beolit 20 Portable Bluetooth Speaker for streaming your own chosen holiday vibes. 

Walk past the kitchen along the hallway and you will pass a utility room with Bosch washing machine and Hotpoint tumble dryer. You will get to a quiet snug room which also has double doors leading onto the terrace outside. A large L-shaped sofa is perfect for more horizontal lounging as well as an oversized bean bag and reading lamps. There's a Smart TV for those that want to watch something different to the others in the living room. A shower room is off this room with a wash basin, WC and shower cubicle. 

The first floor is equally spacious and sumptuous being carpeted throughout. A glass balustrade staircase leads you onto an open hallway that looks down to the entrance hall below so care must be taken with adventurous little ones who may like to climb. There are two super king size bedrooms, a king size bedroom and a twin bedroom. The master suite also has touches of green plants in rattan baskets offering an immediate sense of calm. There is a Smart TV, armchair, side table and lamp, full length doors that open inwards and look out onto the front garden/ parking area over a balcony. There is also a dressing table and mirror, a super comfortable super king bed and windows looking to the side of the house under plantation shutters. Step into the stunning en-suite shower room with WC, wash basin and shower with dual controls. There is a spacious walk-in wardrobe with enough space to store luggage, hang and fold your holiday clothes as well as play hide and seek! 

Along the bright and sunny open hallway is the twin bedroom with two 3ft singles beds, a bedside table and lamp, armchair, giant bean bag and open hanging space. At the end of the hallway is the king size bedroom with plantation shutters and a console table with mirror, armchair and built-in wardrobes with hanging space and a tall boy for folding t-shirts. The family bathroom has a bath, shower, WC and wash basin with soothing pieces of art evoking a true sense of relaxation. The fourth bedroom has another super king size bed, chaise lounge sofa, double doors and Juliet balcony, Velux windows, Smart TV, console table, dressing table with mirror and built-in wardrobe. Each of the bedrooms are designed to provide the perfect ambience to relax, soothe, sleep and spend time unwinding into a holiday mood.

Outside the stylish features continue with Pedrali sofas, dining table, chairs and bar stools so when the sun is shining, the temperature is warm and the sea air fragrant with the promise of fabulous Spring, Summer and warm Autumn holidays, Lahaina really does offer the full shebang when it comes to planning and enjoying holidays to St Ives.  

The Cornish Arms pub is just 100 metres from the house as are the bus stops that will take you to and from the heart of St Ives if you don't fancy walking the 20 minutes to the sea front. Tescos is the nearest supermarket which is within walking distance taking no more than 5 minutes on foot. Tregenna Castle has an 18-hole golf course so if you love to bring your clubs on holiday with you, a very short walk brings you to their very scenic golf course. West Cornwall golf course is also less than 5 miles away with breathtaking views over St Ives Bay. Countryside walks can be enjoyed directly from Lahaina, a 15-minute walk will take you to Steeple woodlands and onto Knills Monument with gorgeous ocean views beyond.
