Overview

If waking up to the sound of the waves and being just moments from the sand is your idea of the perfect holiday, Ocean’s Edge delivers exactly that. Positioned within the exclusive Smuggler’s Cove development in Portreath, this exceptional beachfront cottage enjoys a truly enviable location, with the beach just thirty seconds away via a private slipway reserved exclusively for residents.

Sleeping up to four guests across two comfortable bedrooms, Ocean’s Edge is ideal for couples, small families and dog owners looking for a relaxing coastal escape. The master bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room and a private balcony overlooking the beach and sea, providing the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee while watching the waves roll in. The second bedroom features two single beds which can also be configured as a king-size bed if preferred.

Throughout the property, the sea takes centre stage. The lounge, dining area and kitchen all enjoy breathtaking coastal views, ensuring you’re never far from the stunning scenery. A separate garden room provides additional space to relax, unwind or entertain, while a utility room with WC and laundry facilities offers added convenience for longer stays. There is also a useful storage area, perfect for dogs, wetsuits, surfboards and beach equipment.

Outside, the private decking and seating area overlook the beach, creating the ideal setting for al fresco dining, evening drinks or simply watching the ever-changing colours of the ocean. Reclining chairs positioned behind a glass balustrade allow you to soak up the views while remaining sheltered from the sea breeze. And when evening arrives, you’ll be treated to some of the most spectacular sunsets on Cornwall’s north coast.

One of Ocean’s Edge’s biggest attractions is its location. Despite feeling wonderfully private and secluded, you’re only a five-minute stroll from the heart of Portreath village, where you’ll find welcoming pubs, cafés, restaurants and local shops. The South West Coast Path is also right on your doorstep, offering spectacular cliff-top walks and breathtaking coastal scenery in both directions.

With private parking directly outside, a complimentary EV charger, direct beach access and uninterrupted sea views, Ocean’s Edge offers a rare opportunity to enjoy one of Cornwall’s most sought-after waterfront locations. Whether you’re surfing, exploring the coastline, relaxing on the deck or simply falling asleep to the sound of the ocean, this is coastal living at its finest.

Local Area

We’d love to share with you some of our favourite things to do locally, in the village and beyond… Some things that you won’t find in any tourist brochures!!

A stroll up the Coast Path from Smugglers Cove in Portreath is a must, and is well worth the initial steep climb. You will discover the most mesmerising spots to watch the sunset; take a bottle of wine and a picnic if you can; you’ll be overwhelmed!

The coastal heathland blazes with gorse and heather and the grass fringing the path is sprinkled with wildflowers. If you’re lucky you’ll pass the wild ponies along the way too!

If you’re feeling energetic enough, follow the breathtaking coastline of high cliffs and secret coves, and you will come across Tehidy Woods, which you can also access from Cot Road, which leads directly into Portreath from Illogan. Tehidy has 9 miles of meandering paths, and 250 acres of peaceful lakes and woods to explore.

The woods are an enchanting place to visit all year round, particularly in April and May when the Cornish bluebells appear, making an even more stunning woodland walk, topped off with a traditional Cream Tea at their Country Park Cafe to rest those achey legs.

On the opposite side of Portreath, by the harbour you’ll find an equally beautiful coast path (Slightly easier on the legs!) which leads to Porthtowan, a small village famous for it’s surfing, fishing, and most importantly, its sunsets!

The walk is around 2 miles, and full of surprises. You’ll come across old mines, miles of ancient Cornish stone walls, historical landmarks and acres of Coastal flora. The Blue Bar on the beach is very relaxed, and we feel the best place to sit outside with a pint of Tribute Ale, soaking up the views and inhaling the refreshing sea air. Treat yourself to a delicious roast dinner at The Unicorn Pub, where all produce is fresh and local, and you can bring the dog too!

Just outside of Portreath, you will find a Bike Hire place called Elm Farm. The main Coast to Coast cycle trail runs for 11 miles from Portreath to Devoran, through Scorrier Woods, the Poldice Valley and alongside the stunning Restronguet Creek, and is almost entirely on purpose built cycle paths or quiet country lanes. At a leisurely pace it takes most people less than 2 hours, each way, to cycle the Coast to Coast Trail. If you are like us and fitness isn’t your forte, pop into The Fox and Hounds Pub mid route for a break and a well deserved drink!

Kayaking from Portreath beach is a must, if the seas are calm enough of course. You’ll find the most beautiful secluded sandy beach to the left which is almost always empty as it not accessible by foot. You are more than likely going to see seals along the way, and they often pop up next to the kayak to see what’s going on! Dolphins are often spotted in the bay, and if you take your snorkel, you could find spider crabs, lobsters, and even jelly fish!

Stretch your legs with a walk up to Gwel An Mor to visit their Feadon Wildlife Centre. Here you will see, and can meet the animals; Reindeer, Ostriches, Birds of Prey, Goats, Foxes and more. If you have children (big or small!) make the most of their Falconry Sessions and Wildlife Experiences.

The 9 hole golf course here is Award Winning, and makes for an adventure packed day, followed up by a round of archery, and a fishing session for Carp and Tench in Clover Lake.

If after all this you still have some energy (or time!), book the little ones into a session at Penny Red’s for pony rides they will never forget… All washed down by Fish and Chips and a glass of Camel Valley, at The Atlantic Cafe on the seafront. Enjoy!
