About the House
A stunning 5-bedroom house perched above the Cornish coast with panoramic sea views, a garden with sea views, and just a 5-minute walk into the village of Porthleven and to the dog-friendly portion of the beach. Features a dedicated vibe room, Nespresso machine, 400-thread-count Egyptian cotton linen, and a children's play park within 1 minute. Perfect for families, friends, and dog-friendly getaways.
Perched above the Cornish coastline, the open-plan kitchen and living area frames an extraordinary panorama — sea stretching to the horizon, sunsets that turn the water gold, and the rooftops of Porthleven harbour below. The interiors are as striking as the setting: bold mustard pendant lights hang over a marble-topped island, deep navy radiators and bedding contrast with eclectic art and colourful cushions, while teal furniture legs and coastal prints tie the whole look together.
Porthleven harbour is a gentle 5-minute walk downhill — one of Cornwall's most celebrated fishing villages, home to award-winning restaurants, independent shops, and the wild Atlantic surf crashing against its iconic harbour wall. Whether you're here for long coastal walks on the South West Coast Path, days on the beach, or simply sitting with a glass of wine watching the sun sink below the ocean, Sunset Beach House is the perfect base.
