A beachfront escape for up to ten guests, with sweeping sea views and elegant coastal living - perfect for family gatherings, group getaways or unforgettable celebrations by the sea.
The Tide House sits right on Smuggler’s Cove, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame the ocean and the rhythm of the waves is ever-present. Inside, four stylish bedrooms, an additional playroom/bunk bedroom and three bathrooms combine with light-filled living spaces, a fully equipped kitchen and sociable dining areas. Outside, terraces, balconies and private steps leading to the sand invite you to live as close to the sea as it gets. Should you wish to explore the area, you’re just a stone’s throw from beaches, restaurants, shops and cafes.

Why we love this

  • Direct beach access from private steps leading to the sand
  • Spacious interiors with five bedrooms and ocean-facing living spaces
  • Balconies and terraces perfect for dining, relaxing around the fire pit and watching the sunset

Exceptional Service

Our award-winning Guest Services team will not only help you find your dream holiday but will support you through every step of your stay.

Step into a bright, welcoming hallway where the sound of the sea greets you immediately. Large picture windows draw your eye to the ocean, setting the tone for a stay immersed in coastal beauty.

The main lounge is the heart of the home, designed for both relaxation and entertaining. Floor-to-ceiling glazing frames panoramic views across Smuggler’s Cove, while deep sofas invite you to curl up with a book or gather with friends. A feature fireplace adds warmth for cooler evenings and the décor blends natural textures with contemporary coastal style.

The open-plan kitchen and dining space is ideal for group living. A well-equipped kitchen with modern appliances, a breakfast bar and generous worktops makes cooking a pleasure, while the dining table seats everyone together beneath large windows. Sliding doors open onto the terrace, so meals can flow effortlessly outdoors on sunny days.

Four elegant bedrooms feature king-size beds, while an additional games/playroom includes a bespoke bunk bed with a slide that can sleep two children on single beds. Several bedrooms enjoy direct sea views, and two offer direct access to the house's elevated seafront exterior. Others are tucked away at the rear, offering cosy retreats with soft linens and calming coastal tones.

Three bedrooms benefit from luxury private en-suites with showers, while a large family bathroom features a Heritage designer bath. The master bedroom en-suite includes a walk-in shower.

Multiple terraces are arranged across varying levels, each designed to showcase a different outlook over the sand and sea. Private steps lead straight down to the beach, creating a seamless connection between the house and the shoreline. Whether enjoying sunset drinks, al fresco suppers, or morning yoga by the sea, this outdoor space is unforgettable.

Additional highlights include a hot tub, Big Green Egg BBQ, fire pit facing the sea, a cinema den complete with games console and popcorn machine, and an EV car charger.

Location of 'The Tide House

Location

The neighbourhood

Set directly above Smuggler’s Cove on Cornwall’s north coast, this retreat offers one of the most extraordinary beachside settings in the region. From the terrace you can watch the tide roll in, see surfers carve across the waves and step down your own private path to golden sands. With the ocean as your neighbour, days here move to the rhythm of the sea - whether it’s an early morning swim, rock pooling with children at low tide, or evening strolls along the shoreline as the sun sets.

The nearby village of Portreath provides a warm welcome and everyday essentials. Here you’ll find a bakery, local shops, surf and bike hire, as well as traditional pubs and cafés serving hearty Cornish fare. The South West Coast Path runs directly through the area, offering breathtaking cliff-top walks with views that stretch for miles. Head west towards Porthtowan and St Agnes to discover dramatic headlands and secluded coves, or east to Gwithian and Godrevy Lighthouse, where seals can often be spotted basking on the rocks.
