About Atlantic Blue

Atlantic Blue is located at St Nicholas Court which is an apartment building on the east side of Porthmeor Beach. It is dog-friendly self-catering accommodation and is a mere 100 metres from the Porthmeor Beach shoreline. You and the beach are separated simply by some stairs and a slipway, so as you may imagine, there are some wonderful sea views from this apartment. Whether you’re relaxing in the kitchen area or enjoying time outside on the enclosed private terrace, you will have expansive sea views over the scenic Porthmeor beach, as well as some panoramic views of the Tate and Clodgy point. This apartment has a thoughtful interior finish, reflecting its idyllic beachside location, with some unique and stylish feature pieces from Tracy Goldsmith and Jo Downs glassware.

There is one flight of internal stairs within the property, these take you to the living room and your enclosed, outdoor, terrace area with a picnic bench for some alfresco dining. The living room has been designed to enhance the natural beauty that you are surrounded by. This is where you will find the sofa that can be made into a king-sized sofa bed, allowing for two additional guests. Clever space-saving clothes hanging is available behind the white cupboards in the living room. There is a Smart TV with all the usual Apps for you to log in and enjoy your memberships to Amazon Prime, Netflix or BBC iPlayer. The patio doors allow for heaps of natural light and, on a warm evening, the terrace is the perfect place to sit, relax and enjoy the views and sounds of the beach with your own music playing softly through the Sonos speakers throughout the apartment. The terrace area is enclosed and therefore safe for your dog to be out enjoying the space with you, however, there is a picnic bench, if you have nifty climbers be sure to keep a keen eye on them so they don't make it to the wall!

On the ground floor is the bedroom that can be either a super king (in width only being 6ft wide but 6'3" long) or two single beds. It has a built-in wardrobe for your holiday outfits and a wall-mounted TV. Next door to the bedroom is the bathroom with bath and shower over, WC and wash basin. It comes with mood-lighting if a relaxing soak in the bath is what you are after. You can even connect via Bluetooth to the Sonos sound system at Atlantic Blue and listen to your favourite tunes in the bathroom! The kitchen is also on the ground floor of this lovely St Ives apartment by the sea, and you'll know it as soon as you walk into the room with its huge window framing the beach and the sea views beyond! It has an electric oven and induction hob, a fridge/ freezer, Quooker tap and dishwasher.

Hopefully, by now, we have stressed just how close to the beach you are, but just in case… Porthmeor beach is your closest! A dog-friendly beach all year round with some seasonal restrictions (check out our Area Guides for when you can and can't walk your dog on Porthmeor, Porthgwidden, St Ives Harbour and Porthminster beaches!) Your closest dog-friendly beach with no seasonal bans is Bamaluz beach, a short walk away near Smeatons Pier. The size of this beach is dramatically impacted by the tide so be sure to check ahead. If you need a slightly larger beach, Porthkidney is just a 10-minute drive away in Lelant.

During your stay, your closest restaurant is Porthmeor Beach Café, open for the most delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner (with amazing sea views!). You are also a very short walk away from The Mermaid, a much-loved seafood restaurant in St Ives. This romantic holiday apartment in St Ives is only a stone's throw from the centre of St Ives so within a couple of minutes you will find yourself with a wealth of restaurants and cafes to choose from along the harbour front. Just behind the harbour front, you will find Fore Street, where the majority of St Ives' shops are located, perfect for looking for holiday gifts for those who couldn't join you or a treat for yourself!

If you're able to drag yourself away from the beaches and sample all of the wonderful food spots in town, visiting some of your closest galleries may be a nice way to enjoy your time in St Ives. The Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum are a very short walk away; however, you will stumble across many hidden gems whilst strolling along Fore Street.

There are many seaside and national trust locations for you to enjoy just a short drive from Atlantic Blue or if you're feeling brave you can enjoy the long coastal walk from St Ives to Zennor! Take a look at our Area Guides online for some inspiration. Our favourites are St Michaels Mount, Godrevy, Porthcurno and Trengwainton Gardens. Your nearest golf course to Atlantic Blue is West Cornwall Golf Club in Lelant.

Atlantic Blue comes with its own allocated parking space, in the underground car park of the apartment complex. The apartment complex and car park were built back in the 70's (when cars were a little smaller) and the parking configurations are as follows:

height - 1.9 m, width - 1.9 m, length - 5 m

Atlantic Blue is reached by climbing external stairs within the St Nicholas Court complex, there is a set of steps from the car park and then a further two flights to reach the apartment. There is a shared laundry room where machines take coins to wash and dry your holiday wardrobe and beach towels (please bring your own beach towels!).

If you're bringing a second car, your closest long-stay car park is the Island Car Park, just a few minutes walk away.

To re-cap, Atlantic Blue is a self-catering apartment by the sea in St Ives and is just seconds from Porthmeor Beach. It can sleep four people in one bedroom and on a king-size sofa bed. It accepts a well-behaved dog, has parking on-site and has incredible sea views from the kitchen, living room and the private outdoor terrace. There are 3 sets of external steps to reach the apartment with the St Nicholas Court apartment building on the Island and the east side of Porthmeor Beach.

N.B. For 2025 arrivals, the main bedroom will no longer have the twin bed option.

* 23/02/24 Please note - During the last two weeks of March there is planned maintenance in St Nicholas Court for courtyard-facing balcony screens to be replaced. Due to the nature of the work, there is predicted to be minimal disruption to guests*

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

We stayed at Atlantic Blue in March. On arrival, everywhere was immaculate. We arrived late so were looking forward to a good nights sleep and were not disappointed. The mattress is so comfy and the pillows are unreal. The bedding smelt amazing as well. The shower is powerful, towels are luxurious (great size and fluffy) and the speakers in the bathroom just top it off! 
The location is perfect, you are a stones throw away from the beach. Parking is also handy, safe and secure. The view from the kitchen is amazing and you can hear the calming sound of the waves. 
The flat is very well equipped and comfortable. The hosts have thought of everything even down to camping chairs to take to the beach. Norway Stores across the road has everything you need if you forgot to pack something. 
Recommend going to the Sloop on a Friday night for a steak and live music!

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

Can’t complain at all about the service received from Orange Roofs. From our booking till the end we were kept informed throughout the customer journey. Detailed instruction on how to get to the apartment were very helpful. Upon arrival, the apartment was clean, tidy, and very welcoming, there was also a nice bottle of Prosecco for us to enjoy! We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday, and with 2 young children and a stones throw away from the beach what more could we ask for? We will definitely be using Orange Roofs again! Thank you to those who made our stay very comfortable!

Our first time in this property and it was everything you said and more from the welcome pack including fizz , local chocolate to the personalized greeting card. But the location now that was something else, on the beach with the most amazing views and sunsets , we spent many hours just sat watching beach life. The apartment was dog friendly so we all enjoyed walks on the island and the harbour (once the tide was out) And finally the service from Orange roofs above and beyond lots of e-mails giving great useful information and even a phone call to confirm and welcome us - we will be booking next year.

Atlantic Blue was such a special find and what a fabulous week we had. The weather was amazing, glorious sunshine every day and with it being a quieter time of year, having the beach virtually to ourselves and our dog still being allowed on all of them made everything perfect. Atlantic Blue was scrupulously clean, warm and bright. On arrival our bottle of Prosecco, vase of daffodils and the gorgeous chocolate was such a lovely way to welcome us. The location could not have been better, ideal for Porthmeor Beach yet only a few minutes walk away from town. We usually stay harbour-side but have found it quite noisy at times, however, waking up naturally to the sound of the waves at high tide definitely helped recharge the batteries. Atlantic Blue had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We loved the artwork, particularly the Tracy Goldsmith painting. The lighting was very tasteful and the amazing shower .... I'm going to miss it!! The views from the balcony, particularly at sunset, just topped everything off. This dog friendly apartment was a little treasure and we will definitely return. Thank you Orange Roofs for your smooth organisation throughout, you can really tell that you care about your customers.

This being our second stay at Atlantic Blue, and our third already booked - The Property, it’s location, along with the hands-on service and support from the Orange Roofs team..... enables all elements of our holidays to blend perfectly. This is a fantastic property, perfectly located for a beach holiday whilst remaining close to all other amenities. It even has secure undercover parking. The view across the beach, town, and headland can be enjoyed from the cooking/dining area, and longe area with patio...... the surf, horizon, sky, (orange roofs!) coast line, setting sun, and emerging stars.... it’s hards to leave, it’s too long before you return! Thanks Orange Roofs - Roger & Lesley

We spent four wonderful weeks in St. Ives and enjoyed every minute of our stay. The "Atlantic Blue" was just perfect . Back at home we already miss the view from the apartment over Porthmeor Beach where we went surfing very often. We would love to come back to St. Ives in the future and would definitely try to book the Atlantic Blue again.

We had a wonderful holiday at Atlantic Blue. The apartment was immaculately clean and well presented on arrival with everything thought through and ready for us. The bathroom and kitchen are both modern and well equipped and the apartment has what can only be described as magnificent views over Porthmeor Beach from the kitchen and top floor roof terrace. The main bedroom is very comfortable with super linen etc and there is also a good quality sofa bed in the upstairs sitting room. An added bonus was having our own dedicated car park space in the private and secure basement garage. The apartment is very well located and once we parked our car we had no further need for it with everything being within easy walking distance. Highly recommended and we plan to return.

Atlantic Blue is situated on the top floor of the St Nicholas complex. Steps up are not steep and are on several levels so that access is not difficult. The apartment itself has been modernised and has a fantastic bathroom with heated towel rail and sound system. The bedroom is a bit on the small side but there is a magnificently comfortable super king size bed to compensate. It would be absolutely brilliant if there was a washing machine / tumble dryer actually in the apartment, rather than coin fed machines available on the bottom floor. The sofa bed is sturdy with an excellent mattress which makes it suitable for adults (not just children). Views over the sea from the kitchen windows and the upstairs balcony are magnificent. Having an allocated car space in the safe and secure underground parking is a real bonus. Access to living accommodation from the garage is not difficult. Within easy walking distance of beaches, shops and restaurants. I would happily recommend this lovely apartment. We felt very relaxed and had a wonderful holiday week in Atlantic Blue.

This is a lovely, comfortable flat in an amazing location with stunning views over Porthmeor. But it was not clean when we arrived. The previous occupant had a dog and there was lots of pet hair covering the furniture, bedding and floors. The kitchen table and worktops also hadn't been properly cleaned; there were lots of crumbs and a taxi receipt. Although Orange Roofs got a cleaner to come back very quickly to re-clean, there needs to be a much more rigorous quality control before guests arrive. ORANGE ROOFS MANAGEMENT COMMENT: We are very sorry that you found the apartment in such a state, this has not happened before and we were as disappointed as you in the housekeeping standards. We outsource housekeeping to Sandy Toes and part of their service level agreement to Orange Roofs is the head housekeeper and business owner personally checks all of her cleans and have have trusted in good faith her standards of cleaning remain consistently high. When you reported the next day how bad the apartment was, she assured us that had done a check. A member of Orange Roofs had visited the apartment the same day to do the condition check (which is not to check housekeeping but to check the condition of the apartment and visually record this) and had considered the clean incomplete but was assured that a check would be taking place. We are very disappointed that this did not happen and that Sandy Toes failed to provide the high standards we are used to expecting from them. We have received an apology from the business owner and have been assured that it was a one off mistake. Going forward, Orange Roofs will be taking steps to ensure the highest standards of cleanliness are maintained week after week throughout the year and will constantly be looking at how to personalise and improve on each guests' experience.

An amazing place as usual! The apartment is always spotless and brings much joy to us every time we visit St.Ives. You couldn’t possibly get a better view from an apartment. We always feel we have a warm welcome and we will definitely be booking up again. This was the second time we stayed in Atlantic Blue and never fails to impress.

We loved St Ives, and loved staying in Atlantic Blue; relaxing place, beautiful views, the sea so close by and the lovely decor and artwork. The welcome of fizz, chocolate, flowers and chilled milk were a lovely! Two tiny things... We followed the directions to the flat easily, but were very unsure once we got to the harbour and saw signs saying restricted access, as newcomers we did not realise that is the only way onto the island. Maybe in the directions you provide you could just mention that it is ok to drive that way!! Also,we only found the very useful Norway Stores just around the corner a few days into the holiday, and wondered iif a note about that might be useful in the holiday folder, it saved us a lot of walking into town for milk, bread etc, and would have been really good to know about it when we arrived! ( and good to support local independent shops, as we like to do !) Thanks so much, our booking and holiday through Orange Roofs has been a really lovely experience, and we look forward to returning!

A modern, clean and stylish apartment set in an ideal location with a stunning view from the upper deck. Having stayed in St. Ives for many many years Atlantic View is definitely 'up there' when it comes to value for money. The harbour is literally a five minute walk and Porthmeor Beach is less. Added parking below the apartments was a bonus too.

Had an absolutely fabulous stay in Atlantic Blue! Its a wonderful apartment, so stylishly and thoughtfully designed and the views are superb! So close to the beach with stunning sunsets....I have stayed in St Ives many times and this place is up there with the very best places to stay! The thoughtful arrival touches and music piped through all rooms even the bathroom were those extra little things that make a holiday place even better. Thankyou so much to Sam and the team for being so helpful and informative. We would love to return!

Fantastic location. Clean, modern with great features. The views can be enjoyed easily from each floor. Well equipped and very comfortable - a home from home, we are looking forward to return. Having visited St Ives once or twice a year for over 10 years - Atlantic Blue greated a very relaxing environment.
