Praa Sands, located in the picturesque region of South West England, is home to a remarkable contemporary beach house known as Little Cottage. This stunning accommodation can comfortably sleep up to 12 guests, boasting five well-appointed bedrooms, four of which feature king-size beds with breathtaking sea views. Designed by award-winning architect Alex Michaelis, the property is strategically positioned to maximize the spectacular vistas of the adjacent sandy Hendra Beach. The addition of The Love Shack, a self-contained room complete with a king-size bed, shower room, kitchenette, and fabulous sea views, enhances the overall appeal of this unique retreat.
The interior of Little Cottage is characterized by an open-plan living space that includes floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing guests to enjoy the mesmerizing coastal scenery while sipping their morning coffee. A cozy wood burner provides warmth for family gatherings during cooler evenings, creating a welcoming atmosphere to reflect on the day's adventures. The house is equipped with six bathrooms, five of which are en suite, ensuring ample facilities for all guests. The ground floor family room, furnished with two sets of bunk beds, is perfect for children, making it an ideal family getaway.
Outside, the property features a spacious garden that includes a large patio with seating and a fire pit, offering direct access to the beach at the bottom of the lawn. A hot tub is conveniently located to the side of the house, providing a relaxing space to soak and unwind while taking in the stunning surroundings. Little Cottage is situated within Cornwall's Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with the famous South West Coastal Path nearby, allowing for scenic walks to Marazion or Porthleven. Guests can enjoy various activities, including exploring St Michael's Mount at low tide or visiting the vibrant town of Porthleven, known for its excellent dining options and opportunities to spot seals and dolphins along the coast.
For those looking to explore further afield, St Ives is just a 30-minute drive away, where visitors can wander the charming cobbled streets and discover unique shops. The sandy beaches in St Ives and the scenic walk to Carbis Bay via the South West Coastal Path add to the allure of this coastal destination. Little Cottage is pet-friendly, welcoming two dogs, although guests should note that the garden is not fully enclosed and has direct access to the beach. This property is ideal for families, accommodating 10 adults and 2 children under the age of 16, making it a perfect choice for a memorable seaside getaway.
