Shearwater
Description
Shearwater is an impressive coastal house resting in Praa Sands, Cornwall, only a short walk from the broad sandy beach.
With private parking for three cars, far-reaching sea views, a newly refreshed interior, super-fast fibre broadband, and a versatile layout with ground-floor bedrooms and a shower room, this is an excellent choice for families or groups of friends seeking a stylish stay near The Lizard Heritage Coast.
On arrival, the sea air and open outlook across Mount’s Bay immediately set the scene, while inside, the property reveals a bright and carefully updated interior with crisp finishes, sleek fittings, and a considered coastal feel throughout.
The kitchen/diner creates a sociable hub for the home, where light pours in across streamlined surfaces, and there is plenty of room for gathering over breakfast before heading to the shore or settling in for an evening meal after a day outdoors.
From here, an open connection leads into the sitting room, where the woodburning stove adds character and warmth when the weather turns cooler, and large windows keep the coastal backdrop in view.
Doors open directly onto the patio, giving easy access to an outdoor space made for morning coffee, sunset drinks, and time spent watching the water shift with the light.
The bedroom arrangement works especially well for a mixed-age group, with two ground-floor rooms that include a king-size and a super-king-size.
The larger bedroom also benefits from its own TV, a seating area, direct access to a second patio, and sea views that add something special to the space.
Upstairs, two further bedrooms each have a TV, and one is served by an en-suite shower room.
A family shower room completes the interior, while outside, the front lawn and rear terrace provide further places to sit out, dine together, and enjoy the coastal setting.
Beyond the property, Praa Sands is known for its long stretch of golden sand and rolling surf, while nearby Marazion offers access to St Michael’s Mount and striking views across the bay.
Porthleven makes an excellent day out for harbour walks and dramatic sea scenes, while the Lizard Peninsula offers rugged coves and striking cliffside scenery.
For art and culture by the coast, Tate St Ives and the Minack Theatre both make memorable additions to your itinerary.
However you spend your time in this part of Cornwall, Shearwater offers a superb setting to return to at the end of each day.

What guests are saying
We went to this Shearwater Holiday House on the 5th September for one week.
This holiday house has everything you could possibly want for your home comforts. Beautifully renovated inside with very tasteful modern furniture & decor. To the front of the property it has quite a large garden with decking that overlooks the sea. Shearwater has parking at the front and to the rear. If you are slightly disabled you are better parking at the rear. This property is close to all your amenities. Pub, shop, Beautiful beach and plenty of dog walking areas & coastal walks. We always use Gina & Gezs properties because they are ALWAYS so beautifully maintained, and trust me i am fussy Lol. A Perfect holiday house for a really relaxing, comfortable holiday. We will be back again & again, oh & again LOL. ❤️
The house was amazing.
It is very well maintained and very comfortable. It is fitted out to a very high standard and every thing we needed for the week was supplied. The views are stunning. The drive leading to the property is very narrow but still accessible for land rover size cars. A parking space is available at the bottom of the drive which we used. I would stay there again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
The property is beautifully appointed and well equipped. The beds were very comfortable and the location is perfect with wonderful sea views and an easily accessible path to the quieter end of the beach. The deck was a great place to sit, but unfortunately there was no sunshade provided, and it was extremely hot during our stay. We did try to enquire about this, but got no response. Similarly we were unable to get any response to our query about recycling. We would therefore say, in summary that the property is amazing, but was slightly let down by the lack of any timely means of communication whilst we were there.
