Ocean Skies - sleeps 10 guests in 4 bedrooms

Perched high above the dramatic cliffs of Porthtowan, Ocean Skies is not just a home — it is a sanctuary where modern luxury meets the raw beauty of Cornwall's north coast. With sweeping vistas of the Atlantic Ocean stretching as far as the eye can see, this four-bedroom masterpiece invites you to experience coastal living at its finest.

From the moment you step through the sleek entrance, Ocean Skies exudes understated elegance. The open-plan living spaces are bathed in natural light, with floor-to-ceiling sliding doors in every bedroom and living area that frame panoramic seascapes — every sunrise and sunset here is a private show just for you. Rich, leather Darlings of Chelsea Chesterfield sofas offer timeless comfort and style, while bespoke oak furnishings and curated Neil Canning artworks throughout the property create an atmosphere of serene sophistication.

At the heart of the home, a stunning spiral sweeping staircase gracefully links the living spaces, its sculptural form adding architectural drama and effortless flow throughout the house.

Just off the welcoming lounge area, you'll find a versatile snug or games room — the perfect hideaway for children and families alike. Stocked with a selection of games and featuring a smart TV for entertainment, as well as a sumptuous, luxurious sofa bed that can comfortably sleep an additional two guests, it's an ideal space to relax, play, or unwind. For those needing to work remotely, the room also includes a stylish Ercol desk and chair, providing a comfortable and dedicated workspace. For added convenience, a small bathroom with shower is located upstairs, making it easy to accommodate extra visitors with ease and comfort.

The kitchen is a high-spec German Nolte design, fitted with state-of-the-art appliances and handcrafted cabinetry — a dream for both seasoned chefs and casual entertainers. Gleaming granite countertops, a sociable breakfast island, and an adjacent dining area set the stage for memorable meals. At its centre stands a bespoke dining table by Abacus, crafted from elegant and durable Dekton — perfect for both everyday dining and special occasions.

Each of the four bedrooms has been thoughtfully designed as a luxurious retreat, three of which are furnished with Ercol beds and Ercol mattresses, and one with a zip and link bed which can be split into two singles if required; all promising deep, restful sleep. Two of the bedrooms boast private balconies overlooking the ocean, while a third offers a Juliet balcony — all accessed via expansive floor-to-ceiling sliding doors. Blackout curtains throughout ensure privacy and comfort at any hour.

The property offers three en-suite shower rooms, as well as a separate luxurious bathroom next to the fourth bedroom, and an additional shower room on the 1st floor — all fitted with premium Villeroy & Boch fittings, combining timeless elegance with modern functionality.

Step outside, and the magic of Ocean Skies deepens. The expansive rear sun terrace is perfectly appointed for relaxation and entertaining and now features a stunning newly installed 7-seater hot tub, offering the ultimate spot to unwind while soaking in the fresh sea air and coastal atmosphere. The terrace also includes a Maze Living corner sofa and table, a Matthew Hilton communal table with benches, two sun loungers, and — for culinary enthusiasts — a top-of-the-line Big Green Egg BBQ. The front balcony hosts a patio table and chairs, ideal for morning coffee accompanied by the sound of the waves.

Practicality meets luxury throughout the home: a dedicated laundry room on the ground floor is equipped with both a washing machine and tumble dryer. Superfast broadband keeps you connected, while eco-conscious design features such as an MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery) system, triple-glazed windows, and an EV car charger ensure Ocean Skies treads lightly on its spectacular environment.

Outside, there is parking for two cars and a purpose-built surf shed — perfect for storing wetsuits, boards, and outdoor gear after a day on the waves. Importantly, Ocean Skies warmly welcomes four-legged companions, ensuring every member of the family can enjoy the adventure. With dog-friendly beaches, coastal paths, and spacious outdoor areas on your doorstep, even your canine friends can soak up the sea air and scenic beauty.

Porthtowan's golden beach and vibrant surf scene are just a short stroll away, while nearby coastal trails beckon for bracing walks and secluded coves. Yet with such opulence, comfort, and thoughtful amenities at your fingertips, you might find it hard to leave the sanctuary of Ocean Skies at all.

Whether you're seeking a luxurious escape, a place to reconnect with family and friends, or a base to explore Cornwall's rugged charm, Ocean Skies promises an experience like no other — where every moment is touched by sea breeze, indulgence, and effortless elegance.

Incredible! Gorgeous!

Rented this house with my girlfriend. An absolutely stunning house with an incredible view of the beautiful Cornwall beach! The ocean waves and beach are extremely close... paradise! Having rented two other amazing properties in England, this one was a true beauty. Communication with the property managers was very convenient with very quick replies. Highly recommended property!
