Seamist, Watergate Bay
Ping pong table. Tick. TV den. Tick. Outdoor surf shower. Tick. Tick. Tick. Tick. Architect-designed and purpose built for 2016, Seamist is a bright and cotemporary coastal pad that ticks all the boxes. Family and group holidays come easy here thanks to its eight bedrooms, a spacious kitchen, living and dining areas all finished to a high standard including Velux windows, American style fridge freezers and 50-inch HD TV. Think big barbecues on the decking, catching up with friends on sunloungers outside, or heading down the road en-masse to one of Cornwall’s best beaches – Watergate Bay – for surfing with Extreme Academy, restaurants including The Beach Hut and Zacry’s, Watergate Bay Hotel’s Zacry’s and Swim Club facilities.

Blue Bay, Mawgan Porth
Blue Bay is the kind of laid-back beach house where you and your friends and family will instantly feel at home. Decked out in cool blues, the spacious two-storey four bedroomed house comes with an additional four garden rooms which can sleep up to 20 people. We love the massive kitchen, ideal when cooking for large groups, the sun trap garden and the sea views from every bedroom. If you’d rather not cook on holiday, owners James and Pippa offer a selection of dining packages, or take your pick from a range of different eating places on your doorstep. Fish and chips after a day on the beach or fine-dining for adults only? Mawgan Porth has it.

Bedrooms: 8
Sleeps: 20
The beach: 400 metres

Porth Beach House, Porth
With the sand of Porth Beach just 20 metres away, large self-catering properties don’t come closer to the beach than at Porth Beach House. An early 19th-century house refurbished to a high-spec and gorgeous New England Style, it appeals to parties wanting a more homely and cosy vibe. Curl up with a book in the sitting room with views over the beach and sea while the rest of your group build sandcastles on the sand below. Life doesn’t get much better.
The details
Bedrooms: 5
Sleeps: 10
The beach: 20 metres
Sea view: yes
Pets: yes

Breakers, Porth Beach
Featured in Ideal Homes magazine, Breakers is an ideal self-catering property for large groups, with the beach only 100 metres down the path at the bottom of the garden. The view, the space, the finish, hot tub and games room, the gardens – there’s lots to love about Breakers, but sometimes it’s the small details like wetsuit hanging, two beginner surfboards and bodyboards and X-Box 360 that make the difference. We can’t imagine you and you and your group will get bored of Porth’s golden sand and varied coastline, but both Newquay and Watergate Bay are a short drive or 25-minute walk in either direction should you need to explore.
The details
Bedrooms: 5
Sleeps: 13
The beach: 200 metres
Sea view: yes
Pets: yes
