Loved by The Times and spread over three spa-like floors, this elevated sea-view retreat blends impressive architecture with vibrant interiors. Walking in on the ground level, leave your worries at the door and make yourself at home, as local Jo Downs glasswork frames the entrance.
Upstairs in the open plan living space, transport yourself to a tropical oasis where sparkling ocean views span the whole floor, and high-vaulted ceilings see natural light pour in. Finished in soft blue velvet, two sofas sit in front of the wood burner, welcoming cosy evenings spent as a group.
Featuring mottled grey cabinetry and sleek white quartz, the kitchen looks across the spacious living and dining area. Pull up a leather bar stool and chat with your private chef as dinner is made, or slide open the patio doors to reveal spectacular views across Sennen Cove, one of the best surfing beaches in the country.
Stretching as far as Longships Lighthouse and the Isles of Scilly on clear days, the terrace just beyond makes the perfect setting for appetizers.
With its own bathroom and dressing area, the master suite on the ground floor also commands stunning views over West Cornwall, best enjoyed from the king size bed. The family bathroom and three further sea-view bedrooms occupy this floor, benefiting from chic tiled en-suites or Jack and Jill bathrooms, and a mixture of fixed and zip and link king size beds.
On the lower ground floor, a further bedroom and cinema room reveal a quieter side of the house, where guests can peel away for some downtime. Breakwater also has a utility and a sea-view home office, adding a touch of luxury to any working-from-holiday-home emails. Outside, a bubbling hot tub, dining table and cluster of sun loungers create a haven where the sound of the ocean is never far away.
With the crashing waves and sunkissed sands of Sennen Cove on the doorstep, enjoy morning surfs and twilight beach walks. The Old Success Inn pub sits within a 10 minute stroll, while further afield there are great day trips towards Land’s End, plus first-class spas in St Ives and Mullion.

Cinema Room
Tucked away from the rest of the house and finished in rich blue tones, the cinema room will be loved by children and teenagers especially. There’s an Xbox Series X for competitive Saturday nights, accompanied by a large Samsung Smart TV.

More about theFirst Floor
Open Plan Kitchen, Living and Dining Area
Set beneath high vaulted ceilings and with the ocean just beyond, this space is as homely as it is impressive. The cool-toned quartz kitchen is kitted out with Miele appliances, including a double oven, warming drawer, induction hob and dishwasher. There’s also a Quooker tap and a Nespresso coffee machine, ready for sea-view breakfasts at the island which seats four.
Over in the living area, a crackling wood burner and Samsung Smart TV await for cosy nights in. The two large velvet sofas are finished in soft teal velvet, while a large dining table just behind provides the perfect setting for family meals, seating 10.
Encompassing the whole space, vast sliding glass doors reveal sparkling views across Sennen Cove and beyond. Step out onto the balcony for a glass of chilled champagne for fresh Cornish air while dinner is prepared.
Please note guests with pacemakers should avoid using the induction hob as this can interfere with the device.
Quiet Room
Finished in deep turquoise and with a rounded feature window looking out across the water, this is a tranquil spot to take in the spectacular surroundings. The doors lead straight out onto the first floor terrace, where sights and sounds of the ocean await.
Pull up an accent chair for games of cards or noughts and crosses with little ones, or break away from the group for some quiet time before dinner.
Utility
The utility is home to an AEG washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as an additional fridge.
WC
Completing the first floor is a grey tiled WC.
More about theExterior
First Floor Terrace
Making the most of Breakwater’s sprawling coastal vista, the first floor terrace spans the whole length of the house and is conveniently located just outside of the kitchen, living and dining area. Separate to the dining terrace, this provides a lovely spot for couples and young families to enjoy quality time together.
Garden and Dining Terrace
Just like the interiors, the outside space was designed with relaxation in mind. Enjoy breezy summer lunches at the dining table which seats 10, challenge friends to a game of table tennis, or get lost in a book from the comfort of a sun lounger. Children can let off steam on the grassy lawn while grown-ups raise a glass and plan tomorrow's activities, either from the beautiful curved seating area or the swinging egg chair.
For avid beach-goers, there’s also an outdoor shower, bodyboard store and a wetsuit drying area that makes coming back as a family hassle-free.
Hot Tub
Bubble away in the hot tub as clouds float by overhead and surfers ride waves on the beach below – Sennen Cove is considered one of the best in the world.
Parking
There’s ample parking for four large cars on the driveway, or up to six small cars when expertly parked.
Electric Car Charger
At the front of the house, plug into the 7kW Zappi charger when you arrive for easy day trips across West Cornwall.

Area Map
Local Area
Sennen Cove
Beaches and watersports
An endless stretch of golden sands and turquoise waters, Sennen Cove is a paradise for surfers, sun-worshippers and families. Sennen Surfing Centre and Smart Surf School are great choices for individual and group lessons, suited to both beginner surfers and the more advanced. Gwenver Beach is also close by and the popular Porthcurno Beach is just a 10 minute drive away. The Lizard Peninsula is great for watersports, and we’d recommend trying out anything from sailing lessons to kayak tours and scuba diving.
Outdoor pursuits
The rugged coastline and stunning views in West Cornwall are heavenly for walkers. The route along the South West Coast Path from Sennen to Land’s End is fantastic for seasoned hikers, or head to Cape Cornwall for a range of routes through the tin mining landscape. Cyclists will enjoy the First and Last cycle trail which goes from Long Rock to Land’s End or St Just to Gurnards Head. Sennen and the surrounding areas are also great for fishing, head out on a boat trip from Penzance and explore the coastline.
Food and drink
From traditional Cornish pubs and ice cream parlours to al fresco bistro dining, Sennen is home to a variety of places to dine. The Old Success Inn serves traditional pub food, The Apple Tree Café specialises in breakfast and lunch, while The Blue Lagoon is a great option for fish and chips. For some wonderful seafood restaurants, head to Mousehole or Newlyn, which are both less than 15 minutes by car. If you love wine, Polgoon Vineyard in Penzance makes a brilliant day out, filled with crisp tastings and friendly tours.
Activities for children
Geevor Tin Mine is a brilliant family friendly option for a rainy day, with guided tours offering an insight into what daily life was like for Cornish tin miners. Another memorable activity for the children is a trip out to sea with Marine Discovery in Penzance. Climb aboard one of their boats and go in search of dolphins, basking sharks, sunfish, porpoises and seals all the while exploring hidden gems of the West Cornwall coastline.
Heritage and culture
Due to its clear light and spectacular surroundings, the nearby Newlyn has always been a popular destination for artists. The Newlyn School of Art offers a range of short courses and evening sessions, which are fantastic options for creative holidays. Cornwall’s world-famous open-air Minack Theatre is also just a 15 minute drive away. Open to day visitors as well as theatre goers, it has breathtaking views over the ocean. A visit to Cornwall wouldn’t be complete without exploring the beautiful St Michael’s Mount.
Time for pampering
Relax and unwind at the gorgeous St Ives Harbour Hotel Spa, which is under 40 minutes away by car. Alternatively, the C Bay Spa at The Carbis Bay Hotel offers a wonderful setting for indulgence. With sea views and an incredibly tempting pamper menu, you're sure to leave feeling completely refreshed. The C Bay Spa and St Ives Harbour Spa both boast incredible views over the bay, offering high quality treatments and full use of their leisure facilities.

We stayed at Breakwater in November 24. The service provided by Perfect Stays was fantastic. They even arranged additional logs for the wood burner to be delivered half way through our stay. Thank you for the communication prior to, during and after our stay. Have already been recommending Perfect Stays to family and friends.
”We had a wonderful week at Breakwater. It is a stunning house, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. We enjoyed the changing views from all the rooms, the fantastic hot tub, and the comfy beds. The outdoor shower was fantastic for the dog and post-surfing. The games room and table tennis table kept us busy when we weren't exploring. It is well situated at the top of the village and near all the attractions nearby, such as Lands End, Porthcurno, and Mousehole.
”Excellent experience at Breakwater. The accommodation was first class, the location fantastic and the Perfect Stay staff very friendly. The process was easy from the start.
”Breakwater is a beautiful house situated in an outstanding area. If you are looking for a holiday to rest and rejuvenate, I do not think the house or indeed the area could be beaten.
”Only a few words required, Breakwater's a superb property in a fantastic location providing panoramic sea views. Well looked after by Perfect Stays team.
”From beginning to end we've had a fantastic four days, in the most beautiful house. In fact, it's one of the best times we've had in Cornwall and we've been visiting for 15 years! The Perfect Stays team are brilliant, they're so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Through the Inclusive Concierge Service, Perfect Stays organised spa treatments for us, which were exceptionally good. It's five stars for Breakwater and we can't wait to book again.
”What an exceptional property. Everything you need is at Breakwater, from watching the waves breaking on the shore to cosy nights in front of the wood burner. The dramatic coastline to Land's End is amazing and this home is the ideal base for exploring West Cornwall.
”I had a lovely stay with my family at Breakwater. As seasoned visitors to Sennen Cove, we have stayed at a number of properties for our annual family trip to the coast. Breakwater really stood out, it's such a beautiful house with great views out to the sea from the balcony and the bedrooms. The kitchen and living area are great, especially for a big family and we really appreciated all the little touches like the hamper on arrival!
”What a fantastic house - we stayed here the first week of October and had a wonderful time. The house looked great on the website, but it was even better when we arrived, there was plenty of social space with the cinema and reading rooms and a great outdoor area too. We hope to return again next year.
”We were very happy with our stay at Breakwater. It was airy and spacious with good quality furnishings and excellent equipment. Everything was very clean and well-cared-for. It was warm and comfortable. The views onto Sennen Cove were sensational. The large living space was perfect for pulling the family together and we had hilarious quiz and games evenings. It must count as one of the best houses we have ever stayed in.
”Breakwater is a fabulous house - it has glorious views over the sea and Sennen Cove, and is equipped with everything you'd need. We spent a week here with three generations of our family to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday. The quiet room is a lovely place to sit and enjoy watching the waves crash into the rocks. There are lovely walks and places to visit nearby - this part of Cornwall is beautiful, and we'd highly recommend it.
”We had the most wonderful stay at Breakwater - it's a stunning house with the most amazing views and it was hard to leave at the end of the week. The house was incredibly clean and well-equipped, beautifully furnished (we loved the sea themed colour schemes) with comfy beds and lovely linen and accessories. The hamper was very generously stocked with lovely things and the Christmas tree was a real feature with such an abundance of lights and very pretty baubles.
”Thank you for such a wonderful stay in this beautiful home! Breakwater gave us everything we were looking for. Fantastic beaches, great walks and good local pub food while staying at such a lovely place with a gorgeous view! We really enjoyed the stunning sunsets, and our children loved the daily ritual of beach and ice cream. The cinema room and games have facilitated some enjoyable family-together times. The hot tub was a great bonus and we loved using it. The attention to detail, the cleanliness, the welcome hamper and well-equipped kitchen were all really appreciated too.
”Thank you so much, Breakwater is gorgeous - we had a lovely time and it exceeded our expectations. Sennen Cove is beautiful, we enjoyed the beaches and local hospitality - so friendly and helpful. We hope to be back!
