Sea Sands Reviews

This is one of the best properties we have stayed in, fantastic location, great sea views and the house was extremely well equipped with everything we needed. Thank you and we would definitely return!

We stayed at Sea Sands for two weeks and had an amazing time. The location is ideal if you want to be in the south of Cornwall. Its close to the beach with stunning views and you dont need to be navigating silly lanes to access it. Its close to the A30 so access to different areas is really easy. Listening to the sea at night was a definite plus! The house itself is wellequipped and decorated, and wellmaintained. The owner communicates really well. We had a small issue and she responded and addressed it immediately. We would love to stay here again.

We had an amazing stay here, the house is fabulous, the view is gorgeous and such a lovely, quiet area. The hot tub was an added bonus although now Husband wants us to get one!! all in all a perfect holiday. And thank you Gina for the lovely welcome pack, and the emails, to help us with our stay.

Clifford

This is the second time that we have stayed at Sea Sands and we just love it. We love sitting on the balcony watching the sea, and in inclement weather, we love how the view changes. Clean property with comfy beds and everything about the house is great quality. We will definitely be returning, but perhaps without our aged dog as the steps leading up to the property are now a little too much for his poor old bones after exploring the beach! Thank you Gina for being such an attentive owner.

Amazing stunning property with incredible panoramic views of the bay at Praa Sands decor is perfect , simple but luxurious. Incredibly comfy seating in the lounge . Great table for family eating . Beds very comfy and the rainfall shower in the master bedroom is wonderful. We loved our short break at Sea Sands and hope to return soon. Highly recommended

What a lovely place to stay. The views, facilities and the hot tub of course

Absolutely stunning property, stunning views & location

Sea Sands is beautiful, luxurious and comfortable. It has everything you could need and it offers magnificent unobstructed views across the Celtic Sea! A spectator sport is to watch the shipping, air traffic or the wait to spot sea life with your binoculars. The sky at night is also a beautiful sight with the Milky Way right above you. Watch out too for the space station and star link satellite train if the clear skies permit. It is minutes away from the beautiful beach where the surfers love to play and at the permitted time of year the dogs can also roam. Praa Sands is lovely, a small place with few shops and pubs but what it's got is more than enough if you like simplicity, some pub grub, and the freshest sea air while you sip your favourite tipple. Gina property owner keeps a watchful eye on the standard you should expect on arrival and midway and was quick to sort a few minor issues. She is friendly and very helpful. All together a wonderful holiday destination and we hope to be back very soon.

Shirley

Sea Sands is a beautiful home with a magnificent View. Lovely and clean and the owner is soooo helpful. we've been to this property twice now and we will definitely be back.

A wonderfully presented property, with excellent facilities, great instructions and helpful tips, and amazing views. A perfect base for visiting so much that South Cornwall has to offer, whilst also being a 5 minute stroll to one of the best beaches. We will be back!

A beautiful house superbly decorated and fitted out to the highest interior standards. Well worth the price. Excellent terraces and seating to relax and take in the views and invite guests. The owners had clearly thought this out very thoroughly. We will be returning.

This is a beautiful property, with a beautiful view. Only 510 minutes walk from the beach, and within 20 mins driving distance of many other beaches and Cornish attractions. Highly recommended.

Darren

Our house was perfect we loved our stay. The location was beautiful and the views were out of this world! There was just a few things that could of made it perfect when we 1st walked in the house really smelt of wet dog. I understand i was there with my dog but she never went in the sea. I just would of liked it aired out abit more maybe. The cupboards in the kitchen was dusty and un wiped. There was dry dog poo on the floor leading to the front door outside. One of the jacuzzi straps were broken. A lamp and a socket was broken next to the bed upstairs. These are very minor things and could of been rectified before we arrived since we have a cleaning charge. We had to check in at 530 and leave by 930 am so we only had 2 full days which we felt was a bit rushed as we paid for four. Overall we really enjoyed our full two days there and would def recommend it.

Teresa

We had a lovely stay at Sea Sands in May 2023. The property is very well furnished, and the owner very response to questions. It was our first holiday with our dog and we were impressed with how the house was set up to cater for a dog, yet keep the luxury feel to this high end accommodation. The beach was amazing and the hot tub a real treat. We will definitely come back again.

What a beautiful property The Sands is and spectacular surroundings. A beautiful beach within short walking distance with a local shop and cafe. The owner left us some goodies, of which I wasnt expecting. I would definitely recommend staying here, and I will definitely be booking to go back.

Howard

Outstanding property with stunning sea views, couldnt have been much better! The facilities in the apartment were outstanding making it very much home from home. Very appreciative of the welcome pack.

A truly stunning property, the owner goes all out to make you feel welcome starting with the welcome gift on your arrival which includes several goodies , the bottle of bubbly went down well . Lovely walks and only a short drive to St Ives we found this to be a perfect location for our family holiday .

Lovely property had great stay.

Jordan

The property is stunning! We loved our stay, the views are fantastic, the walks are wonderful and the property itself is just magic. You genuinely feel torn between going for lovely walks along the beach or the coast and staying in. The local shop was great, we have gotten used to having a Cornish pasty at 1100! We're already looking to book in for March 2023.

We had an amazing break at Sea Sands in March 2022. The property is amazing and the photos dont quite do it justice. The view from the living room and master bedroom is breathtaking and the careful details in the design of the building and layout truly make this special. We had no problems with our stay at all, however the owner Gina was very friendly providing all of the relevant information needed for our stay prior to visiting. The accommodation itself was modern and sleek but still kept its homely and comfortable feel. The property is airy and bright and the furnishings are high quality. Peaceful and natural surroundings brought a feeling of calm throughout the entire week, especially looking out to such a wonderful view of the sea. The hot tub was brilliant, including the outside hot shower which is a blessing in winter months. High quality towels and bedding provided, along side toiletries and a lovely welcome pack which is a really nice touch. There is everything you can think of regarding cooking equipment and this was the highest standard of any property we have stayed in. I cant speak highly enough of this property and would highly recommend to anyone looking to explore the Cornish coast.

Andrew

The house was just perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The views were spectacular with the sea literally on your doorstep allowing you to take some lovely walks on the beach. The house was immaculately clean and attention to detail with a lovely goodie pack on our arrival, which was a lovely touch. We definitely would recommend Sea Sands.

Lauren

Really lovely property amazing views. Everything you could need kitchen utensils wise and utility with all plastics was fantastic for kids and adults. Pictures do not do this house justice at all. Helpful owner. Hot tub was a added bonus lots of laughs had. We didnt want to leave.

Rachel

Lovely, wellequipped property with good quality furnishings and a great welcome pack on arrival. The property was in an excellent location with fantastic views and walking straight from the door. The only improvements we would suggest are more clothes storage in the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms and a blackout blind on the velux in the upstairs bedroom.

Andrew

A fantastic, modern and well appointed property with great views. Comfortable and classy. I would highly recommend.

Had a lovely stay at sea sands, The property was beautiful It was very clean and had the most amazing views looking out to sea. We were left a lovely welcome pack by the owners and would definitely recommend this property The only criticism we have was the rules on the use of the hot tub, We feel the time of use from 10am till 10pm were really disappointing. We appreciate the evening time But this could be extended to 11pm witch we feel would had been a reasonable time to have had use of the hot tub in the evening after a long day out site seeing ect. We also felt that 10am was a bit late in the morning to be able to use the hot tub when your planning days out. Apart from that we would definitely book again

Stunning property done up to a very high standard ! Fabulous location overlooking the beach ! Would highly recommend this accommodation.

Having phoned Sykes to request bed arrangements, on arrival the beds were not as requested, and the owner luckily came back to remake the beds for us as we wanted. She said she had not had a message from Sykes. Communication needs improving. Otherwise a lovely holiday, thank you.

Graham

Fantastic holiday, good accommodation and facilities. Downside is that there is not enough outdoor seating at the front of the property views out to sea if you have a group of more than four people six person accommodation. It was a warm week and no fans in the property. Definitely paying good money for an excellent location but owners have raised prices astronomically for next year and clearly taking advantage of the current travel restrictions. For that reason we will not become the regular visitors we had hoped.

This house is AMAZING, somewhere very special to stay! We were three generations aged 3 68 and all had the best time. The place is spotless, very tastefully decorated and has beautiful views through the huge windows. Parking spaces great, big enough for a VW transporter plus an estate car. Praa Sands is a fabulous base. The house has the best supply of kitchenwareutensils Ive seen, all quality. A suggestion would be to provide a clothes airer or washing line to hang clothes that cant be tumble driedwet suits. Would it be possible to find out what the mattress is in the upstairs master bedroom?the best sleep in years and I would like to buy one for myself!

Gillian

The house is in a fantastic location views over the beach and sea. The interior is of a very high standard so modern and clean. Just needs a gate at the bottom of the stairs to stop young children or dogs running in the road

We have just returned from Sea Sands and wow what a lovely place to stay. The accommodation is brand new and built to a high standard. The views are fantastic and we were happy to sit on the balcony watching the surfers below with a G&T or two! . Even though Praa Sands is very quiet, Penzance is just a short drive away. If you plan to go to St Ives we recommend getting the train from St Erth as the parking in St Ives is crazy even before the lockdown restrictions were lifted. Also, if you want Gluten Free fish and chips then try Frasers in Penzance it was fantastic! Overall I can highly recommend this accommodation if you want a quiet break. We would love to return, but its a shame as the prices for 2022 are 3x the price we paid this year!

Mervyn

Had a lovely weeks stay and was looking to book again next year, but the prices have more than doubled? Making one week in this house in the summer the same price as a 2 week all inclusive holiday in Gran Canaria for 3 people. I know which one I will be booking! Definitely not worth 9,200 for a 2 week stay and feel Sykes are trying to cash in on people holidaying at home. Disappointing.
