Sea Spirit

A lovely property with the most fantastic view . Comfortable throughout with good quality furnishings. We had a lovely week here and would highly recommend it . Orange roofs app was excellent to support the booking.

I had a wonderful stay at this beautiful apartment. The views are even more breathtaking than the pictures show. The apartment is really spacious and lovingly decorated, fully stocked kitchen and washing machine - everything you need. The location is great, just a few minutes walk to town center and the beaches. Can't wait to visit again

The Apartment Sea View is as beautiful as shown on the Website. The view is amazing and only a few stairs away from the center. It was very clean and nicely furnished.

We had a wonderful stay in this quiet house in St. Ives. The location is ideal: pleasantly peaceful, yet only about a two-minute walk takes you to lively streets with lovely shops, cafes, and restaurants. Other hotspots are also easily accessible from St. Ives by car. The relaxation was so profound that the feeling of well-being lingered long after we returned home. The apartment itself is exceptionally clean and very well-equipped - the kitchen, in particular, left nothing to be desired. We didn't miss a single appliance; even cleaning supplies were provided. The Wi-Fi worked perfectly. We were delighted by the thoughtfully prepared welcome package, as well as the excellent communication before and after our trip. The well-illustrated instructions for the apartment and all the essential appliances, such as the stove, TV, and heating, were especially helpful. You should be reasonably fit, as there are many stairs - but it's more than worth it: the view is simply fantastic and one of the most beautiful imaginable. The view alone is worth every step. Private parking is available about a 15-minute walk away. A bit of a distance away, but very valuable to have at all. St. Ives itself is exceptionally diverse: stunning beaches, numerous cafes and restaurants, typical bakeries, small boutiques, and an impressive coastline with wonderful hiking and walking trails. A small tip for German holidaymakers: You should bring a power adapter - a corresponding note would be a helpful addition to the description. Overall, a thoroughly relaxing and highly recommended stay with a great feel-good factor and a view you won't forget.

A fabulous property, quite possibly the best view in St Ives. Very well equipped, super-clean and wonderfully comfortable beds. Great to have a dedicated parking space up at the rugby club, makes life a whole lot easier. Highly recommended property, managed by the amazing team at Orange Toofs

We absolutely loved our stay at Sea Spirit! The view is mesmerising & made it a joy to return to, it was so relaxing & peaceful too. The apartment is tastefully furnished & comfortable. We loved the whole space. But top of the list are the stunning views.

This is an absolute gem of a flat. The location, views, well stocked kitchen..everything you need. Everything in walking distance (we didn't have a car) and did I mention the views. Super clean and a few items were left when we checked in for the next morning. Just a wonderful spot and made our stat in St. Ives amazing.

We stayed in a wonderful flat nearby the harbour with very nice restaurants. But what impressed us most was the incredibly beautiful view of the harbour. It was so wonderful and impressive. The flat is also in a quiet location, yet very central. It is well equipped and spacious. St. Ives is the perfect holiday destination, with beautiful beaches, a picturesque harbour, good restaurants, museums and galleries. We will definitely be back.

Great owners who supplied the best welcome pack we have ever had of, that was almost entirely made up of Cornish products I had emailed the agent who were also great, from initial booking to our arrival, that is was my wife's birthday, and we had chilled prosecco, flowers and a card from the owners waiting in the apartment on arrival - thank you All the facilities you could want in a holiday let, great kitchen, comfy lounge area, 2 good sized on suite bedrooms and all so close to the town and beaches

As last year, we had a great time in an amazing appartment.

We have enjoyed our stay in Sea Spirit.

The apartment was amazing, very well set up and the views are the best in the bay. Very well equipped with everything you need. Lots of good information in the files.

The apartment was absolutely amazing. Right in the centre of St. Ives with a very short walk to Porthmeor beach (our favourite surf/beach spot) and similar short walk to the harbour. The elevated position gives you a fantastic view of both the harbour and the town. We really liked the decoration of the place, very homely and well equipped with even a washer/dryer which came in very handy. The light and airy open plan layout is definitely the best place we have stayed in St.Ives and look forward to come back again !

Really can't recommend this place enough! My trip was part pleasure and part work so decent connectivity was essential, and to my relief not only was it good but even faster than what I have back in Bath, which is pretty fast. Obviously the views are a massive feature of this apartment and they did not disappoint! I think another traveller mentioned how they are even better than the photos in reality and they are not wrong! Pretty much every morning I was taken aback with how spectacular they are... truly amazing! Everything was clean, tidy & well set up and even a few essential items on arrival which were very much appreciated. The team at Orange Roofs were super helpful too and extremely responsive. If you are browsing around online trying to make a decision about where to stay and this one is on your list... don't hesitate... you won't be sorry!

Excellent stay in a perfectly located property: in a very quiet area of the town (in Nov 2024) but very close (minutes away on foot) to St. Ives main street and the harbour. The apartment offered all necessary amenities, as per website: the view was as spectacular as advertised, making the living room an ideal place to sit on a cloudy or rainy day.

Orange roofs have been amazing from start to finish. From simple booking emails I sent at the start, to needing to make contact once we arrived, they always responded quickly, efficiently and friendly. The app was amazing with all the information needed at your fingertips. The apartment was immaculately clean, and we were even lucky enough to get the keys earlier than stated. I felt like I wanted to go and say Hi to the staff on my holiday. They were very personable, and this property 'Sea Spirit' is a credit to them and the owners. The apartment has everything needed with good quality finishes and probably one of the best views in town. I could never tire of that view. Honestly can't wait to return. Will definitely use Orange roofs again, can't recommend them enough! Thank you for a fab holiday.

We ve had our best time staying in sea spirit. The spectacular view the beautifully furnished apartment, the location it was just amazing. Highly recommended :3

Delightful accommodation with the most amazing views. However definitely one for the 'abled' as we found it quite stressful finding the place, getting our stuff up to the apartment, and finding a space in a car park for my twin sisters who came with us. However we have been to St. Ives many times and it has always been like this as the town IMHO was never designed for the motor car.

Stunned by the apartment, stunned by the view, I actually needed to wear my sunglasses for breakfast on the first morning. It was perfectly designed and equipped for our week, And we were surprised by how quiet the apartment was. We will be back!

Great apartment with breathtaking views. It is very well equipped. The layout and design of the rooms is also very good.

Fantastic apartment. Wonderful views and so convenient for everything.

The view is AMAZING!!. The flat was very clean and well stocked. Excellent location.

Fantastic view of St Ives! We were two couples sharing the flat so having both bathrooms ensuite was ideal. The flat is nicely decorated, and very quiet. Altho the parking is a bit of a walk from the flat, it's nice having a reserved spot available. We did manage to 'double park' both on arrival and departure for loading/unloading. The final set of stairs within the flat is steep and narrow (as are most in the UK), so I'd recommend packing as little as possible! We loved watching the tides and the birds from within the flat, and wandering around St Ives. Proximity to St Michael's Mount and Minack Theatre was a plus. Highly recommend staying here for your next Cornwall adventure.

The selling point to this property is most definitely the amazing view! It has the "wow" factor...even on a rainy day! All the facilities are modern and comfortable and the showers are fantastic. It is strolling distance to the whole of St.Ives and so parking in the reserved spot which is about 15/20mins walk away, was not a problem. Also, there is a park part way along, so if you have children, it's a great little stop-off! The car park nearest to the property isn't too costly if you park between 6pm-10am. I think it was about £3 (ish)?! There are stairs leading up to the apartment, which depending how much luggage you have brought, are do-able AND worth it for the view! We had an online supermarket shop delivery and this worked out perfectly. Also, there are Co-Op's within walking distance and a local shop just up the hill on the right hand side past the car park. If you get the weather, Porthgwidden Beach is perfect for families. Not too big, great waves for splashing and swimming about in and rocks to climb. We drove to the Eden Project which, though expensive, was well worth the visit and we easily spent about 6 hours there! Also Flambards....great for families and the history section was really interesting and detailed too. REALLY enjoyed the Tate Gallery and there were activities for the children to do too. They loved it. St.Michael's Mount was an interesting trip out too. Free if you have a National Trust card. Unfortunately, the weather was bad for most of the week we were there. However, it didn't dampen our spirits and we did "days out" donned in our best waterproofs! When the weather is sunny, you could easily just spend the day exploring and mooching around the shops and streets of St.Ives and lazing on the various beaches! Make sure you eat at least one locally made cornish pasty, eat fresh fish at a seafood restaurant and I would recommend the Talay Thai Kitchen for food! Delicious! All in all, a fantastic spot which I would definitely book again without hesitation.

This is a great apartment! The view is absolutely beautiful and the location is perfect (very close to all the shops, restaurants and beaches but still very quiet). It was also very clean when we arrived, the cushions looked brand new and we just felt really welcome. The communication with the agency was also very good!

Lovely place to stay with an awesome view. When it rained we just sat in the window & watched the people go by in the town and beaches far below. All very clean & convenient to town. We'd definitely stay here again.

Fabulous apartment, well equipped and spotlessly clean. Excellent location few minutes walk from town, Tate gallery and Barbara Hepworth museum, visits we enjoyed immensely. The view over the harbour and The Island from the apartment is incredible.
Although a parking space at the rugby club is included we chose to use the Barnoon long stay car park for a reasonable daily charge (£6 a day in March) as it is only few minutes walk from Sea Spirit whereas the rugby club is a fair walk up a steep hill.

Wonderful property. Terrific view of St Ives and the St Ives harbor. Sea Spirit has all the amenities you could want. Washer/dryer, dishwasher, coffee and tea, and all plates and cutlery. Beds are very comfortable. Terrific location for the Tate gallery. As with all things in St Ives, everything is walkable (uphill walks are steep). Three flights of stairs to get to the unit so plan accordingly. Free parking for the unit is 3/4 mile away and a 15-minute walk. It is possible to park in a lot a few minutes walk away but it is subject to availability. Cleanliness of the unit was superb. Highly recommend. 5 Star.

Such incredible views of St Ives and everything we needed for a relaxing break. Great location for everything. We can't wait to come again.

Sublime setting with perfect position for St Ives. Peaceful. Look forward to returning. Some things looking worse for wear - coasters, kitchen table top and bathroom glass shelves.

MANAGER'S COMMENT: Thank you for your review Chris, the owners are aware of the bits that need renewing and refreshing and have a plan to deal with these when there is a gap in bookings this winter. 

Our fourth visit I think…
The view we can't stop gazing at.
Rain or shine.
Day or night.
An art instillation at your window… just the therapy we needed. 
Sat at home and wishing our way back to the next time.

Lovely stay. Property was lovely and clean and the view is incredible. 

A great place to stay with a fantastic view, in a great location for beaches and the town

Another absolutely fantastic time at the sea spirit . Never fails to impress us ... as you walk into the immaculate lounge the view of the harbour takes our breath away every time .... the apartment is spotless and has everything you need to a high standard .. reading the visitors book you understand why people come back time and time again ... perfect location can't fault a thing ... cant wait for our return

Well equipped apartment, beautiful view of St Ives. Orange Roofs are very helpful and informative.

Sea Spirit is located in one of the most beautiful areas of St Ives… a 180 degree view that will heal and restore the most weary of souls. We never slept in as we didn't want to miss anything. The weather means the view changes and switches by the minute. The drama of the sea and the sky is all on show and makes you sea weather in such a different way… heavenly! Be prepared for many climbs up and down the hills but your efforts will be well rewarded with the whole of St Ives playing out it's daily life in all it's details below and out to the horizon beyond. Leaving rested, restored and re-inspired.

Amazing views and beautiful apartment. Apartment was exactly as described, spotlessly clean with all amenities for a comfortable stay. Views breathtaking, great location close to the harbour but be mindful that you need to be quite fit as it's a bit of a climb up to the apartment plus a couple of flights of stairs, but so worth it for the unobstructed views. I would recommend you park at Barnoon car park to offload and re-load your car as the Rugby Club parking space is quite a trek up the hill. Orange Roof app was very helpful and informative, lovely welcome pack on arrival was a nice touch and very generous. Would be a good idea to have a fan or air conditioning as apartment gets hot with all the glass windows on a sunny day, also recycling bags would be useful. We would definitely recommend this lovely apartment and stay again as our experience with Orange Roofs was faultless.

Not our original choice, but sea Spirit turned out to be a true gem. We are so glad we were able to spend our week there. The views were stunning and just a stones throw from the hub of St Ives. The second bedroom could do with some drawer space but apart from that we have nothing but fond memories and hope to be back.

Thank you for a wonderful stay in St Ives. Sea Spirit is a magnificent holiday location - very comfortable, with a terrific view !!

We were delighted with the apartment. It was spacious, light and airy, very clean and the view out the window was incredible. We would highly recommend this apartment and hope to stay there again in the future.

A fantastic holiday home in a great location with views to die for! Very well equipped for our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children) with modern appliances and a high end finish. Would recommend to anyone and we can't wait to stay again!

We had a fantastic week at Sea Spirit. The view is just spectacular with its 180° view of St Ives below. The apartment has everything you need with comfy beds and the biggest bath towels ever! Definitely recommend and we will return here for sure!

I cannot praise sea spirit enough . When we walked through to the lounge the spectular view took our breath away . The beds were comfortable ..linen and towels very such a high quality . Kitchen fully equipped … we could have sat and looked out at the harbour for hours and would see something different every time Orange roofs are a well organised helpful company and I would highly recommend them

What an amazing property! All you could possibly ask for. The flat was well equipped with everything you would need and it was all we could do each day to tear ourselves away from just sitting and watching the wonderful panorama in front of us. Only a stone throw away from all the lovely restaurants. We had a lovely meal in the Porthminster Beach Cafe. Visited the Minack Theatre, 30 minutes away by car. If you are coming by car be warned that the parking place in a good 15 minute walk up hill to the rugby club. We had our bikes so good exercise first thing in the morning! Can't wait to come again!

Beautifully furnished flat with excellent kitchen. Stunning views over St Ives harbour and Carbis Bay, with lovely coastal walks. Very much enjoyed the Tate and Barbara Hepworth art galleries.

This apartment must have the best view in St Ives, it was wonderful just to sit & look out at such a panoramic scene. On the Saturday evening we were treated to a brilliant display by the Red arrows (G7 summit) flying right past the window, it was great. The apartment is lovely to so clean & bright & great decor. We had a lovely time in St Ives & can definitely recommend this apartment & Orange roofs who have been so helpful through out. Thank you Orange roofs.

We had the most wonderful stay at Sea Spirit. The flat was beautiful, with comfy beds, in an excellent location and a fully equipped kitchen. It was only a few minutes walk from Porthmeor beach where we did body boarding everyday and we were able to hang our wetsuit outside in the back courtyard of the building, which was really handy. The communication from Orange Roofs was fantastic. Sam and her team were very responsive. They recommended we use their app, which was incredibly helpful and had all the details you needed for you holiday in one place. The best part of our holiday though, were the breathtaking views from the flat! They were unbelievable and would take our breath away every morning when we got up. I highly recommend this flat and can't wait to book it again for our next holiday in St.Ives!

A lovely warm apartment, very clean and well maintained. And a truly wonderful view - great to walk into the living room in the morning and see the sea all around.

The service we received from yourselves was excellent and the information provided was really helpful prior to our stay. We also thought it was a lovely touch for one of your colleagues to call the day before to see if we had any questions. The prosecco on arrival and biscuits etc was a lovely welcome. 

Sea Spirit has probably the best views of St Ives through huge picture windows in the living area, absolutely stunning. From here you can watch the constantly changing land and seascape and the fishing boats bringing in their catch. You soon relax and get into the rhythm of Cornish life, a much needed antidote to modern living. The beds are very comfortable and everything is spotlessly clean. The kitchen is very well equipped. It is a lovely, quiet spot but only 4 mins walk to the shops and amazing restaurants and bars. There is also a parking space 10mins walk away which is invaluable during the busy season. Access to the property by vehicle is restricted, there is room to park 100 metres away to unload, then bags etc. need to be carried along a path and up two flights of stairs. The walk into town is also very steep so not suitable for everyone. But, if you are reasonably fit and active, this is a gem of a property.

Absolutely love St Ives and we decided to have our small wedding ceremony here, was just perfect. What made it even more perfect, was habving 'Sea Spirit' to come back to, what an absolutely stunning apartment and the view is something else! Highly recommend this fabulous place and we definitley would like to return very soon! The new Mr & Mrs De Silva.

Had a wonderful one week break at Sea Spirit Apartment. Orange Roofs really have great customer service and were very responsive to questions and needs that I have. Apartment was clean and well catered for and was great to have food delivery all ready and prepared for our arrival. The views from the apartment are spectacular and the location is perfect. Literally 5 minutes equally from Porthmeor Beach and the Harbour and the plethora of shops and restaurants on offer. A real gem of a place.

The panoramiv views at Sea Spirit are an absolute delight! We enjoyed sitting whilst looking over the harbour, watching the tide coming and leaving. The apartment is furnished with specuial sea spirit taste and style. Very clean, very tidy, very good equipment. We felt at home from the very first moment and even made friends with the seagulls on the bottom outside of our panoramic window. We would highly recommend this apartmant ! A place to come back to!
