About Atlantic Blue
Atlantic Blue is a dog-friendly self-catering apartment in St Ives, just around one hundred metres from Porthmeor Beach with spectacular sea views across the bay. Sleeping up to four guests in one flexible bedroom and a king-size sofa bed, this stylish split-level apartment also offers a private enclosed terrace and allocated on-site parking. Set within St Nicholas Court on the eastern side of Porthmeor Beach, Atlantic Blue is within easy walking distance of St Ives Harbour, Tate St Ives, restaurants, galleries and independent shops, making it an ideal coastal retreat for couples or small families.
Kitchen & Dining
The kitchen sits on the lower level of the apartment and enjoys wonderful views over Porthmeor Beach through a large picture window.
It is well equipped for a self-catering stay, with an electric oven, induction hob, fridge-freezer, dishwasher and Quooker tap.
The beach and sea views make this an unusually scenic place to prepare breakfast or an evening meal, while the private terrace upstairs provides an alternative spot for relaxed alfresco dining.
Living
A flight of internal stairs leads to the bright upper-floor living area, where patio doors and large windows make the most of the views over Porthmeor Beach, Tate St Ives and towards Clodgy Point.
The sofa can be converted into a king-size sofa bed to accommodate up to two additional guests. Clever concealed hanging storage is also incorporated within the living room.
There is a Smart TV where guests can log into their own streaming accounts, while a Sonos sound system runs throughout the apartment and can be connected to your own device via Bluetooth.
Patio doors lead directly onto the enclosed private terrace.
Bedroom
Atlantic Blue has one bedroom on the lower level.
The bedroom can be arranged as either two single beds or joined together to create a super king-size bed in width. The joined bed measures six feet wide and six feet three inches long.
A built-in wardrobe provides storage for clothes and luggage, and there is also a wall-mounted television.
Please let Orange Roofs know your preferred bed configuration when booking.
Bathroom
The bathroom is located on the lower level beside the bedroom.
It has a bath with shower over, wash basin and WC, along with atmospheric mood lighting for relaxed evenings after a day at the beach.
The apartment's Sonos system also extends into the bathroom, allowing guests to connect their own device via Bluetooth and enjoy music during their stay.
Outdoor Space
The enclosed private terrace is one of Atlantic Blue's standout features, offering panoramic views across Porthmeor Beach and the surrounding coastline.
A picnic bench provides seating for alfresco meals, morning coffees or evening drinks while listening to the sea below.
The terrace is enclosed, making it a useful outdoor space for guests travelling with a dog. However, dogs should still be supervised, particularly if they are able to climb onto the picnic bench beside the terrace wall.
Parking
Atlantic Blue has one allocated parking space in the underground car park at St Nicholas Court.
As the car park was originally designed when vehicles were generally smaller, guests should carefully check the dimensions before booking.
The parking space measures approximately 1.9 metres high, 1.9 metres wide and five metres long.
For guests travelling with a second vehicle, the Island Car Park is the nearest public long-stay option.
Dog-Friendly
One well-behaved small adult dog weighing no more than 12kg is welcome at Atlantic Blue.
The enclosed terrace provides useful private outside space, while the apartment's location makes it easy to head straight out for walks around St Ives and along the coast.
Guests bringing a dog should provide their own dog bed, towels and throws, and dogs must be well behaved and well mannered within the apartment and shared areas of St Nicholas Court.
Porthmeor Beach has seasonal dog restrictions, while nearby Bamaluz Beach is dog friendly throughout the year. Guests should always check current beach restrictions during their stay.
Close to Beach
Porthmeor Beach is approximately one hundred metres from Atlantic Blue, separated from the apartment complex only by steps and a slipway.
Porthmeor Beach Café is also extremely close, while St Ives Harbour, Fore Street, restaurants, cafés and independent shops can all be reached within a few minutes on foot.
Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum are also within easy walking distance.
For dogs, Bamaluz Beach near Smeaton's Pier is a nearby year-round option, while Porthkidney Beach at Lelant can be reached by car.
Access
Atlantic Blue is located within the St Nicholas Court apartment complex and requires several flights of stairs to reach.
From the underground car park there is an initial set of external steps, followed by a further two flights of stairs to the apartment.
Inside Atlantic Blue, there is an additional flight of stairs between the lower-level kitchen, bedroom and bathroom and the upper-level living room and terrace.
There is no lift, so the apartment is not suitable for guests who may struggle with stairs or have limited mobility.
A shared laundry room is also available within the complex, with coin-operated washing and drying machines.

Great Location close by to the see and beaches. The apartment was super clean, thank you housekeeping staff!! Also well equipped. Thank you also fot the Welcome gift, we appreciated ! We liked aswell the great contact with Orange per WhatsApp so easy, they helped us very quickly with something that we asked for. Very nice experience to get a friendly support if needed. If I had to point out a thing then it's the small bedroom and not much space for clothes. And some curtains in the kitchen would be nice, it's getting quickly hot at the table.

We had a lovely time at this fabulous apartment. It has great sea views and the location is ideal being only a few minutes from Porthmeor and Porthgwidden beaches and 5 minutes from the harbour and shops. The apartment is so clean and comfortable and really well equipped.. everything you could ever need for your holiday. The kitchen is so very well designed to a high standard. Love the Quooker tap! The bed is large and so comfortable.. we slept so well. The added bonus is a parking space which is like gold dust in St Ives! We can't fault anything and would highly recommend.

This is a fantastic apartment. Clean/modern and comfortable. Small mix up with the bed configuration but the problem was sorted the same day. Private car park is brilliant and easy to find and use. The apartment is only 5 min walk from fore street and the harbour. I found myself just sitting at the kitchen table staring out the window at the waves on the Porthmeor beach. The balcony up stairs is a lovely spot to watch the sunsets. Me and my kids hope to return asap to this dream apartment.

Our sixth visit to Atlantic Blue; as always it is a lovely property with great sea views. The owners always provide a nice welcome treat of wine and chocolate, it is always very clean with everything you could want for in the kitchen and very well furnished and has lots of lovely glass and art pieces. It is in a perfect location and the allocated parking space is a bonus in St Ives. We're already looking forward to our next visit.

Thank you for another perfect week at Atlantic Blue. The February weather was pretty wild but that really didn't matter with such lovely ocean views. The apartment is well equipped, well-appointed for doggy beach walks and a welcoming warm space to return to.

Atlantic Blue is becoming a home from home for us as we have taken vacation there so many times now. The property is an ideal size and layout. It has fantastic all day views from its elevated position. It's practically on the beach, close to other beaches and the town centre, along with secure covered parking - what else could be needed?!

I have used Orange Roofs before and always come back. Can't fault their excellent service. The accommodation was exactly as described and our few days by the beach was carefree and relaxing. Arriving on my birthday, the bottle of fizz was truly appreciated. Thank you.

Absolutely love staying here. This is our 4th year and have booked to stay again next year. The new kitchen was lovely, as well as the little welcome pack. Unfortunately due to the increased in price every year, as most properties in the area, we wont be able to stay at this property in the future if it continues to increase.

Another wonderful holiday in Atlantic Blue and this year a fabulous brand new kitchen, everything you could hope for, with luxury items including a quooker! Also upgrade on lighting very nice ambiance. After another day on beach we really appreciated the hot showers and huge fluffy white towels. Thank you to the owners for the welcome pack including a nice bottle of fizz - but hubby missed 'his' slab of chocolate. See you again next year

Atlantic Blue is a fabulous apartment. Everything is of the highest quality. The property must have been recently refurbished and the kitchen and bathroom is of the highest quality. The towels are by far the best we have ever had provided in an AirBnB style property. Everything has been thought of to make the stay pleasurable. Views from the dining table window and the terrace above are captivating and there is no real need to put shoes on throughout the stay as the beach is a very short walk. The gate to the building is locked at 2200 which adds to security. There are some slight improvements that could be made. I felt that the bed was a little shorter than standard. The terrace needs attention as does the table on it. The access is controlled by a key pad that is tricky to operate and definitely a two hander. Apart from that, the property is lovely and we will undoubtably return.

Lovely apartment with the most incredible views! We loved sitting out on the terrace watching the waves. Apartment is well equipped and comfortable, and perfectly located for quick dips in the sea. Only a very short and pleasant walk into town too.

A lovely relaxing couple of weeks. Having stayed many
times now, we still can't find any reason to try elsewhere, so are
returning again next year - and for three weeks!!
Thanks for a lovely time and opportunity to wind down around
St ives, it's many perfect beaches and surrounding
countryside.

This was our 3rd stay at Atlantic Blue and it certainly
won't be the last.
The apartment is really comfortable and cosy, it has
everything you need, the location is just perfect overlooking
Porthmeor beach you can sit and watch the sea come in and out and
watch the surfers, see the seals and on occasions see
dolphins.
The apartment is ideally located to have a short stroll into
the town and enjoy the many bars and restaurants.
Orange roofs as always are very helpful friendly and
efficient.
Can't wait till we can return.

We had a wonderful time staying at the Atlantic View No.
26 Apartment. From the time we booked our holiday Orangeroofs
provided a level of service that could not be faulted.
Communication by phone and email was immediate and most
informative. When we arrived at the property we found it to be very
clean and well equipped and its position to the town and Porthmeor
beach was perfect. The views from the apartment were
spectacular.
We hope to book again soon.

My husband and I along with our dog had the most amazing 2 weeks at Atlantic Blue at the beginning of October this was our 3rd visit to this place. The apartment overlooking Porthmeor beach is just stunning, you can be sat eating breakfast at the kichen table looking out to sea with the big picturesque window open listening to the sound of the sea, or having a drink on the balcony watching surfers or seal spotting. The apartment has everything and more you could want. The bed is so comfortable and big, the bathroom is modern and has a big deep bath as well as a powerful shower. Needless to say we are booking for next year and it can't come quick enough.

We were there for nearly one week in september 22 and we had a fantastic time there. Really a great view, really near to the town centre. Everything in the apartment was working perfect, everything was there in the kitchen what we needed. The only criticism is the threat of punishment if you leave the apartment a little bit late on the departure day, especially that the departure time is 10´o clock. Also that we should leave the apartment "nice and tidy", we dont leave an apartment or a hotel room in a mess but we are not responsible for the room cleaning service and also again the threat of punishment. This doesn´t sound very hospitable for me. All in all a fantastic place and also the people at the orange roofs office were very very friendly on the phone.

We loved our stay in Atlantic Blue. What amazing views not only across to the sea and beach but also over the rooftops and beyond. The parking is so convenient and safe and no seagull droppings!! A very kind gift of prosecco, chocolate, milk and flowers were greatly appreciated. The apartment is very well thought out with a beautiful bathroom. We enjoyed using the Sonos which was a lovely bonus. The kitchen had everything we could have wished for- we even treated ourselves to a bread knife just like the one there it was so good! The bed linen and towels were of exceptional quality and I have to say what a comfy bed . Our 17 year son was with us and he LOVED the sofa bed in the living room upstairs. I really enjoyed it up on the balcony- just gazing out with a coffee in my hand and the sun on my face with a perfect breeze- what a treat. I can 100% recommend Atlantic Blue

Very impressed with Atlantic Blue, lovely decor, very well equipped but mainly it has fantastic views across Porthmoer. The balcony is a real sun trap and provides the perfect spot to watch the sunset. We could find nothing to fault, all in all a perfect holiday let.

In spite of some very crazy weather we had a fabulous time at Atlantic Blue. It is an ideal property for couples. We were greated with a lovely welcome card, custom Atlantic Blue chocolate, and a bottle of prosecco. The double bedroom is cosy, but the single beds in a king format were very comfortable as they came with a large topper. There are facilities for an additional bed in the lounge area should there be more than two guests staying. The bathroom is lovely with full Villeroy Boch suite and a great shower. Bedding and towels are also great. The kitchen has everything you are likely to need with plenty of cutlery, glasswear, and kitchen equipment. Parking is tight in the car park area in the lower floor of the building, but with a bit of manoeuvring you can even fit a reasonably large vehicle. That being said, it will not accommodate a roof box due to roof height, unless you have a smaller car and a low-profile roof box. Approx 1.9m clearance near the entrance. Though not indicated in the information provided, there are recycling facilities in the refuse area near the car park entrance. It would a helpful addition to have a recycling bin in the property to help with organising, but certainly not a must. One of the most wonderful things about the property is the location. Nestled on the edge of Porthmeor with views over the beach, the main harbour can be accessed in a matter of a few minutes walk, and it is a short walk to Tate St Ives. There is a great little roof terrace just off the lounge area on the top floor, which has fantastics over Porthmeor and St Ives. Whether sunrise or sunset, it will not disappointment. All-in-all it is a great property and would very much recommend. Highly likely we will be back if it is available.

Overlooking the fabulous Porthmeor Beach, the Atlantic Blue apartment is a perfect bolt hole for enjoying all there is on offer in St Ives. We love the beautiful bathroom and well appointed kitchen and spacious lounge. The bedroom is compact but has ample storage space. We always feel very comfortable when staying in this property and can't wait for our next visit to St Ives.

This was our second stay at Atlantic Blue and was postponed from 2020 due to Covid. The property is in an excellent location with the added bonus of a parking space. The level of cleanliness was good and most things were accommodated for, it is a very cosy property. We go to St Ives at least once a year so will definitely be booking again. Many thanks.

Orange Roofs were excellent in every way always keeping us informed on what was going on which wasn't easy in lockdown with all the constant changes that were going on , I would definitely book through them again. Atlantic Blue was wonderful with sea views & so easy to access the beach , had all you needed & the most comfortable bed , would be very happy to return again soon so thank you all. Ian
