A unique retreat set over three floors, this luxury property has recently undergone an extensive refurbishment so along with its array of modern features, you’ll find all the old-world charm of a traditional St Ives period cottage. Beautiful bay windows boasting vintage glass panes frame the modern living space where contemporary seating offers a fantastic area to unwind in, and the open plan dining room is the perfect spot for sharing meals or discussing the day’s plans over breakfast. On wet-weather-days guests can indulge in a movie or watch their favourite sports channel on one of the home’s four smart tv’s (which are spread throughout the property), and a cosy loft snug means both adults and children get to enjoy their own space.
Boasting a fully fitted kitchen and separate utility, Ryb By The Sea is ideal for guests who enjoy cooking and entertaining, and on warm days the private roof terrace with outdoor furniture is ideal for drinks in the sunshine or those essential summery evening gatherings. Four elegant bedrooms, all with sumptuous linen and soft furnishings, create quiet spaces to retreat to after days spent exploring the coast, and the new master en-suite with large rainfall shower and a free-standing bath, is a gorgeous sanctuary for couples or parents in need of their own privacy.
Well positioned within the old town, there are art galleries and boutique shops mere metres from front door, with the waterfront and its vibrancy being just a two-minute amble away. Great for holidays with family or friends, you'll be able to while the days away soaking up the sun on one of the many beautiful sandy beaches in the area or enjoy a seafood supper and a glass of bubbly before heading home to enjoy complete relaxation together - a lovely way to savour this special part of Cornwall.
A travel cot and highchair are available but must be requested prior to arrival.

Welcome to St Ives
There’s something special about holidays in St Ives and we just can’t quite put our fingers on it. It could be the beautiful light that’s attracted artists to the resort for generations, the cobbled streets and coastal views…or that feeling of being a world away from the hustle and bustle. Whatever it is, St Ives has a charm that’s unlike any other, and we’d recommend it at any time of year.
