About 2 Harbour House
Overlooking St Ives Harbour and just metres from the waterfront, 2 Harbour House is a luxury two-bedroom holiday apartment with exceptional sea views and allocated parking. This beautifully finished first-floor apartment sleeps four guests and offers spacious open-plan living, three bathrooms and a flexible twin or king bedroom. Set directly on The Wharf, it places St Ives beaches, restaurants, independent shops, cafés and galleries within moments of the front door. Whether you are planning a summer break or a cosy winter escape, 2 Harbour House provides a stylish base in the heart of St Ives.
Living Area & Harbour Views
The open-plan living, kitchen and dining area extends across the front of the apartment, making the most of the uninterrupted views over St Ives Harbour.
Two large, comfortable sofas provide plenty of space to relax while watching the boats on their moorings, observing life along The Wharf or enjoying the Smart TV. A log-effect stove creates a cosy atmosphere during autumn and winter stays, making this luxury St Ives apartment appealing throughout the year.
The window overlooking the harbour is also a wonderful place to sit with a morning coffee and watch the town come to life.
Kitchen & Dining Area
The modern kitchen is thoughtfully equipped for a self-catering holiday in St Ives. Integrated appliances include an oven and hob, dishwasher, under-counter fridge, separate under-counter freezer and washer-dryer.
Guests can prepare everything from a simple breakfast to a meal using freshly caught Cornish fish, with useful extras including fish de-boning tweezers. A Tassimo coffee machine is also provided for relaxed mornings overlooking the harbour.
The dining area sits within the open-plan room, allowing guests to enjoy the sea views while eating together.
Bedrooms
2 Harbour House has two beautifully presented bedrooms, both furnished with comfortable beds, quality bed linen, televisions and built-in storage.
The principal bedroom has a king-size bed and an en-suite bathroom.
The second bedroom can be arranged as either twin 2ft 6in beds or joined together to create a king-size bed in width. Please let us know your preferred arrangement on booking.
Both bedrooms include a built-in wardrobe with hanging space, canvas shelving and additional storage for holiday clothing and belongings.
Bathrooms
The apartment has three bathrooms, offering excellent facilities for up to four guests.
The principal king-size bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with a bath, shower over, wash basin and WC.
The flexible twin or king bedroom has an en-suite shower room with a shower, wash basin and WC.
A third shower room, with a shower, wash basin and WC, is located just off the living area.
Harbourfront Location
2 Harbour House occupies an enviable position directly overlooking The Wharf in the heart of St Ives.
St Ives Harbour is framed by two piers and filled with fishing boats, pleasure boats and regular boat trips offering views of the coastline from the sea. At high tide, the sheltered harbour water is also popular for swimming and stand-up paddleboarding.
The harbourfront is lined with seafood restaurants, cafés, traditional pubs and tearooms, while St Ives' independent shops and galleries are all within easy walking distance.
Cintra Seafood Bar is located close to the apartment, and the harbour beach is only a few steps from the building's entrance.
Beaches & Local Amenities
The central location makes it easy to explore St Ives without using the car. Harbour Beach is directly outside, while Porthmeor Beach, Porthminster Beach and Porthgwidden Beach can all be reached on foot.
The Tate St Ives, Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, local galleries, restaurants, bakeries and coffee shops are also within walking distance.
For days beside the sea, the owners provide folding beach chairs and a selection of beach essentials, including buckets and spades.
Access
The entrance to 2 Harbour House is reached by a flight of external granite steps leading to the first-floor front door.
The apartment is situated on the first floor of the building and does not have lift access. Guests should therefore be comfortable carrying luggage up the external steps.
Parking
Guests have use of one allocated parking space on Beach Road, a quiet residential cul-de-sac approximately eight minutes' walk from the apartment.
The parking space measures approximately 2.66 metres wide by 4 metres long. A vehicle may overhang one end of the space, but all four wheels must remain within and in contact with the designated parking area to avoid the risk of a parking ticket.

Great stay at 2 Harbour House, St Ives. Fantastic location over-looking the harbour. Spacious, well furnished and bright. Multiple seating options for watching the world go by and the changes in the weather. Easy to unload outside and the allocated parking place a good size. Definitely a place we will return to. Orange Roofs is a great company, always very helpful.

Brilliant property right in the heart of St Ives. Very clean, all the appliances you need and more. Kitchen windows open fully allowing for sea air, people watching and getting some rays. Parking space about 8 min walk away but please don't let that put you off, it's a lovely walk through the narrow streets and past Porthmeor Beach.

We recently had a lovely stay in 2 Harbour House. The view was amazing and the location was very well equipped and very clean. We really had a great experience with Orange Roofs. It was a pleasure to stay here and we would love to come back and stay again.

A great property in the heart of st ives overlooking the harbour. It's the best place in st ives for people watching. It's well decorated , clean and has good facilities. There's plenty of storage space including an outside lock up for beach stuff. The private car parking space is about a 5 minute walk away and is a real bonus. It's worth noting that you get noise from people outside (obviously ), the pub a few doors down and as it's a flat people above.

This was our fourth stay in 2 Harbour House and as ever we had a great time. The property is perfectly placed with the best view of the harbour and across to Porthminster beach. Inside is furnished to a very high standard. We cooked a lot of meals and everything we needed was provided. Orange Roofs once again gave us outstanding service from messaging us when the apartment was available to resolving some minor issues. We felt that they cared!

We have stayed in St Ives very many times over the years but, if you don't need an outside space for sunbathing, this is an absolutely perfect place to stay. It is right on the harbour front - first floor, so amazing views across towards the Pedn Olva but also down on the harbourside. The property is open plan with the lounge, dining area and kitchen set looking out to the harbour with three bay windows including an amazing window seat where you can watch the world go by from above. The two bedrooms, both ensuite, are set towards the rear so they are very quiet. It is modern, comfy and has everything you would need for your stay. It also has a parking space not very far away at all - just near Porthmeor Beach - not a hike up the hill, as some parking spaces are!! So many great restaurants nearby - 1 Fish Street who do an amazing taster menu (although this may have closed, as the chef is moving to Bristol, I think), the Mermaid is an all-time favourite with so many wholesome fish dishes, Porthminster Beach Restaurant, Tapas at the Belgium Beer House, Tapas at Cintra pretty much below 2 Harbour House. All in all an amazing place to stay in every way

Our second stay at this beautiful apartment. Everything you could wish for, and the best dining table in town! It's difficult to tear yourself away from those views! We arrived in the middle of a storm, but it was spectacular to watch from the warmth of this wonderful space.

Extremely comfortable, lovely apartment, fitted out with high quality furnishings. The perfect location in St Ives - The Wharf. The apartment is large and kept extremely clean. I will definitely return. I spent many hours just watching the tides change and St Ives coming alive, it really was a lovely holiday. The information provided and the communication from Orange Roofs has been fantastic.

Absolutely the most amazing space you could wish for. Superb views of the Harbour. Fabulous for people watching during the day. Spent many an early morning watching St Ives waking up at 06:30am with my first coffee. Flat has everything you can wish for. Very well equipped, leaves nothing wanting.

Highly recommend orange roofs and the stunning property we stayed in., the beautiful 2 Harbour House. We spent half of our holiday in the property. We must have had the best view in St Ives. We were very content to sit in one of the bay windows with a cuppa and just relax soaking up the view. Would absolutely love to return. Check out Orange roofs. The staff were first class 10 out of 10. From the very start they were so helpful ,professional and so ,so friendly. The constant updates ,very informative and straight back to me if I had any questions. Well done to the staff and many many thanks for all your help.

It's our third time of coming- we always have a wonderful holiday. We cook quite a lot as the view is so spectacular we just want to look at it all the time! The kitchen is superbly equipped, and fantastic to cook in. There's a farmer's market up near the Island Car Park on a Monday- go and get some lovely fresh salad and fish! Orange Roofs were great as always. Not much more to add- it's just beautiful.

We absolutely loved 2 Harbour House. The 3 bay windows are
what made the holiday so special for us. The different seating
areas. The layout / use of space and personal touches made it
perfect.
The apartment was spotless. It was like home from home with
everything you could wish for and more! The bed in the master
bedroom was really comfortable.
We were also very grateful for the voucher to use at Norway
Stores, a great touch!

Appliances and equipment was all in perfect order, everything
worked as it should. Nothing negative to say all all.
Admin from Orange Roofs was perfect, from reminders, the app,
notes on the day, and from housekeeper - really impressed and will
definitely book with Orange Roofs again.

We had a fantastic time at 2 Harbour House. The location is wonderful, perfectly located for exploring all that St. Ives had to offer. Well done on the excellent soundproofing - no gull noises to wake us too early! Bedrooms are located at the rear of the apartment to maximise the gorgeous views to the front. We'd love to return again.

First impressions of this property blew us away! The
apartment is stunning and the views even more so. Modern, well
equipped and pristine. Honestly, we couldn't ask for more, we will
back at 2 Harbour House, it is perfect. Staff at Orange Roofs are
also outstanding, very helpful, answering my many questions in the
run up to our holiday.
If you love St Ives and everything it has to offer then this
property ticks every box for a perfect holiday.

We had a lovely stay in Harbour House. The property is wonderfully located overlooking the harbour and we enjoyed looking at the beautiful views whilst having our meals. The property is well situated for looking round St Ives and gives you easy access to enjoy all the shops and restaurants around the area. Very comfortable and well equipped property, very clean and well presented. The parking space was nearby and a bonus.

Wow! What an amazing weeks stay we had
a 2 Harbour House. The apartment is simply beautiful, and so well
designed to make the most of the incredible views across the
harbour. We had all weathers during our stay but even on the
gloomiest of days, the spectacular views didn't
disappoint!
The apartment has everything you could want to make your stay a
total home from home experience. We can't wait to return. The
lovely welcome tray and convenient parking space a short walk away
were the icing on the cake. Thank you to the owners and to all at
Orange Roofs for a lovely holiday!

We stayed at this apartment October 22 and had a fabulous week. The apartment has the most fantastic views over the harbour in a great location. When we arrived the apartment was spotless, probably the cleanest we have stayed in at St Ives. It has everything you need with regards to facilities and more. The bedrooms & bathrooms are on the small side but more than adequate. Three big bay windows overlooking the harbour , two of which the windows open fully inwards giving you that outdoor feeling. Great for people watching. We would fully recommend this apartment and will book again.

2 Harbour House is a truly special property to spend a holiday in St Ives. From the spectacular views of the harbour and beyond, to the modern decor and attention to detail, everything was perfect. Having parking was also an added bonus. The booking process was clear and straightforward, with each step clearly described. I would thoroughly recommend this property and Orange Roofs when planning to stay in St Ives and hopefully I will be returning very soon.

Lovely view over harbour, and great window seats. 2 double bedrooms, the second quite small. We have stayed here twice before. The kitchen is not particularly well equipped if you want to cook every day - frying pans are tired. More than before, we noticed the smell of damp in the bedrooms. But overall, it's a lovely place to stay, and we would stay again in the future. Brilliantly located for shops and restaurants, and a parking space is available, which is like gold dust in St Ives.
ORANGE ROOFS COMMENT: The owners of 2 Harbour House were sorry to hear of an issue with the kitchen equipment and asked for more information from the guest. Following your feedback they are replacing a set of non stick frying pans that had become damaged and supplying a set of microwaveable bowls. Seafront properties in St Ives can experience high humidity at times and we ask guests to keep the extractor fans switched on when using the en-suite showers or bath and open a window afterwards. We ask all our guests to report any problems to Orange Roofs as soon as possible during the holiday and we do our best to put them right immediately and maintain the high standards of the apartment during stays. The owners of 2 Harbour House are looking forward to welcoming you back!

2 Harbour House is a very comfortable apartment. Clean and well equipped with amazing views to sit watch the world go by as the tide goes in and out. A perfect location for beaches, shops and restaurants. The use of a parking space just a short walking distance away was a bonus as it took the stress out of navigating the narrow streets of St Ives. The information regarding check in and departure from Orange Roofs, both via emails and the app was exceptional and the property booklet on the app was one of the best I have seen. All very clear and informative.

This was our 3rd stay at 2 Harbour House , and our experience of booking the property , getting the relevant information prior to the start , and during to preempt our departure , should be a lesson to the rest of the industry. The property itself is amazing , with views that are 2nd to none , and the best table on the bay for breakfast, lunch and dinner should you so desire. Everything you need is there , and whilst I could spend endless days watching the view out of the bay windows , restaurants , bakery, post office , ice cream, and shopping are all just paces away.. We are returning next year .

This was our first time booking through Orange Roofs and I have to say from booking to checkout the service was exceptional, we even got an e mail giving traffic hold ups en route. We have already booked with Orange Roofs for next year and have recommended them to friends and family Thank you to all the team

Perfect location with stunning panoramic views of St Ives complimented by the high standard of the flat. Travelled by train and used the very liable local buses which allowed linear walks on the coastal path. Great holiday.

Our second stay here and definitely not our last. Perfect location on the harbour, nowhere too far to wander to. The apartment is wonderful - the views alone make it worthwhile - and equipped with everything needed to make the stay hassle free. Everyone we dealt with from the booking to housekeeper and even a chance encounter with the owner have been very helpful and friendly. A wonderful place!

This is my 3rd stay in a property with Orange Roofs and each
time I've got closer and closer to the sea front and you can't get
any closer than this! You really can't explain just how beautiful
the views from The apartment are until you are stood there crying
happy tears about it!! I loved the apartment. The living areas are
for sure the best space as they have the views, I spent most of my
spare time in the window seat watching the tide coming in and out
and people watching. It was bliss. It was spotlessly clean and a
big bonus having 3 toilets and 3 showers! The 2 showers in cubicles
are better than the one over the bath. The bedrooms were comfy and
very functional. I personally would like some softer lighting in
the bedroom. There were lovely touches like wine and biscuits left
for us, thank you. Without sounding ungrateful I would have liked
some Herbal teas to go with the tea and coffee there, as I drink
neither. Small detail though. I would also like a towelling robe,
if I'd paid high season prices this would have bothered me more.
Some softer cushions, in my opinion, are required on the sofa's..
they are a bit hard and firm but the fleecy blankets were a welcome
touch. Now to orange roofs.. these guys are great! Super helpful
with anything I asked, and Billie is just lovely! As was the
cleaner Nikki.. as I said I've used these 3 times now and feel Very
loyal to staying with them.. brilliant service from start to finish
and they seem very caring and genuine. Thank you. Parking was fab
and easy and about as close as you're going to get that that
central point. Just to also mention for days out we hired ebikes
from The shop up the road. It was an absolutely brilliant day! We
cycled to Pendeen lighthouse with ease! We ate in source kitchen,
caffe pasta, the Thai place .. all fantastic. Overall a brilliant
brilliant stay, and I would 100% recommend and return to harbour
house. I miss it already! Thank you x
Orange Roofs response:
Thank you so much for your lovely review, we are delighted to hear
you were overjoyed on arrival at 2 Harbour House. Your feedback is
appreciated, the owner likes to provide a beautiful hamper of items
to get you started, however we appreciate that depending on diet
this may not suit everyone, so this is something they are happy to
look at. Soft furnishings can be a personal preference but we were
suprised by your comments on the sofa pillows, as three are soft
feather filled, with eleven in total of varying softness and with
this being self catering accomodation they would prefer not to
supply towelling robes. The bedrooms currently have several
individual bed side lights as well as the main bedroom light, so
brightness should be fully adjustable for comfort. We are so
pleased to hear you enjoyed yet another stay with us at Orange
Roofs and hope to welcome you back again in the future!

From start to finish we had a truly memorable Christmas at harbour house. This apartment has great spaces for relaxing, socialising, eating and sleeping. 2 double spacious bedrooms with ensuites, plus the luxury of a 3rd bathroom. A very well equipped kitchen space with choice of eating at the booth in bay window or in the main kitchen area. We had everything we needed, plus of course how could I forget…the absolutely amazing views…which can be adored from any of the 3 window seats, we watched the sunrise each day and the sunset at night. We were about to book again but sadly other people know about this amazing place so until next time…….
