The clue’s in the name. The Beach sits just above the sand at Praa Sands, a few steps from one of Cornwall’s best-loved beaches, with sea views from the living and dining areas.

It’s a bright, south-facing home for four, with two bedrooms (including an ensuite), a log burner for stormy evenings and a sunny patio with a barbecue for long summer ones. With parking right outside and dogs welcome too, it’s made for easy beach days.

Features

  • Just above the sand at Praa Sands
  • Sea views from the living and dining areas
  • Ensuite to the main bedroom
  • Cosy log burner
  • Sunny patio with barbecue
  • Dog-friendly

The bedrooms are at the back of the house, so they’re nice and quiet. The main bedroom has a super king-size bed and its own en uite shower room. The second bedroom has zip-and-link beds, so it can be made up as a super king or two singles – just let us know when you book. There’s also a family bathroom with a bath and shower over.

The open-plan living space looks out to sea from the kitchen, dining table and sofa. Curl up by the log burner, catch up on something on the Smart TV or just watch the waves roll in. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking in, including an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washer/dryer, and there’s a dining table for four.

Outside, the private patio has a barbecue and seating for four, all with views of the sea.
Praa Sands has a relaxed village feel. The Welloe is just across the road for food and drinks with a view, and Stonesreef, right on the sand, is perfect for a coffee or fish and chips after a swim. Up the lane, SISU is a friendly café for breakfast and lunch, and there’s a beach shop for buckets, spades and wetsuits. A bus stop around 50 metres away runs to Penzance and Helston, though a car is handy for exploring further afield.

Good to know: There’s super-fast fibre broadband if you need to stay connected. Dogs are welcome, and the patio is enclosed by a low wall, just keep an eye on any adventurous jumpers. The beach has a daytime dog restriction from 10am to 6pm in July and August.

Das Haus ist wunderschön und liebevoll eingerichtet. In der Küche ist alles Wesentliche da, was man zum Kochen benötigt. Die Nespressomaschine war Luxus pur. Die Betten waren sehr bequem. Handtücher waren auch vorhanden und die Waschmaschine mit integriertem Trockner hat geholfen. Die Aussicht und die Lage sind unübertroffen. Ob von der Terrasse oder vom Wohn-Esszimmer – man sieht das Meer und hört die Wellen rauschen. Der SW-Coast Footpath läuft direkt am Garten vorbei und bietet einen spektakulären Wanderweg. Zum Strand geht man eine Minute oder man bleibt im Strandstuhl auf der Terrasse liegen. Das Welloe ist ein Restaurant direkt daneben und bietet gute Strandküche. Wir hatten traumhaft schöne 10 Tage dort und kommen bestimmt wieder!

We had a fantastic week at The Beach property for my dad’s 70th birthday! It was exactly the experience we were looking for! The property is located in a very nice spot by the sea that offers you a great view on Pree Sands beach. Sam and his team were great at communicating with us, providing all necessary information for our stay. The property is even bigger than what it looks like from the photos, it gives you an immediate sense of peace as soon as you enter it. It was provided with all the amenities listed, including a washing machine and TVs in all rooms. I couldn’t recommend this place more, especially if you are looking to relax and enjoy a peaceful spot in Penzance, we would definitely love to go back next year!

A perfect break, quiet location, minutes from the beach, on the Costal path which is a great way to see the spectacular views. There is a bus service to Penzance and Helston of you don’t want to drive and also useful if you take the walk and don’t want to walk back, lol. The house had everything needed and the gift of the cream tea and biscuits was very well appreciated. Would recommend and hope to return in the future.

We booked last minute and everything was very aay. Lovely location and excellent property. we had all we needed. The only thought would be the mattresses are in need of upgrading. Our only other observation would be to make the garden/patio private with a fence and gate, so the dogs would not run away. This is already in hand as we met the guy measuring up as we left. We look forward to booking our next visit, thank you.

Location right next to beach and surfing bar. House had all the amenities for perfect stay.

Praa Sands

Praa Sands is one long sweep of soft, white sand and rolling surf, the kind of beach you can stretch out on all day or stroll from end to end as the light shifts. It’s a proper family favourite, with space to spread out, easy parking and a laid-back beach café just steps from the sea.
