Beautifully styled throughout, Salt Life’s interior finds just the right balance between paired-back simplicity and luxurious comfort. Built with locally-sourced materials such as timber framing and bee bricks, its sympathetic to the environment too, with air source heat pumps, underfloor heating and high levels of insulation reducing its carbon footprint.

In keeping with its beach house persona this home incorporates that all important indoor / outdoor lifestyle, with large sliding doors leading from the open plan living area out on to the private terrace. Here you’ll discover a large hot tub as well as a dining table and chairs, creating a gorgeous fresh-air space to chill or socialise in, while doubling up as the ideal spot to enjoy an alfresco breakfast before hitting the beach. Positioned within a meandering stroll’s distance of Gwithian Beach’s three mile long sandy stretch, days are spent sunbathing and sandcastle building before a cooling surf or a leisurely swim in the clear waters of the Atlantic. Being situated within the untamed landscape of a nature reserve means that the opportunity for outdoor adventure abounds, with coastal paths offering visitors a chance to take in some spectacular views of St Ives Bay and the surrounding area.

Located also within just a short drive of both Hayle and St Ives, Salt Life is a wonderful base from which to experience all aspects of Cornish life; so if laid-back luxury and authentic beach holiday are what you’re after; this is the perfect place for you.

Overall a lovely place to stay

Lovely accommodation, clean, great location. We really enjoyed having a hot tub. Accommodation had lovely decor and felt like a home away from home.

If you want piece and quiet this is the place so relaxing and peaceful .what a place . The views are lovely. So many different walks you can do or just sit on the beach and watch the day go by and head back for a relaxing hot tub or just relax in a peaceful garden

This is our second time to this beautiful property and it did not disappoint every thing was spotless and it is so convenient for the beautiful surrounding areas the only thing was we couldn’t use the hot tub the first evening as it had been changed which is a good thing but when you have only 3 nights it was a shame but wouldn’t stop us returning

Hi Ross, thank you for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review. We are so glad you returned and found the property beautiful and spotless. We understand your feedback about the hot tub, and as the water legally has to be changed it is hard to get it hot in time, however, we will pass along your comments to ensure this is the first thing done when completing a changeover. We do hope you return in the future. Best Wishes, The Luxury Coastal Team.

Great place to stay but few issues

Its an amazing property and very close to an amazing beach one major issue is access to the property you have to drive past on both sides very over grown thorn bushes which has caused paint damage to the vehicle and the jets in the hot tub only one set worked apart from them 2 issues i would stay again as its an amazing place

It’s a beautiful house with loads of space. It is kept in a truly immaculate condition with everything there that you could wish for on a holiday. Nice touches included like fresh flowers, milk, coffee and cakes. The beds are really comfortable and showers are hot and powerful. Getting from the unit to the sea takes 16 minutes if you are fit and healthy but walking across the dunes probably won’t work if you are not. I went every morning or evening, watching the rabbits and meeting local dog walkers. The local beach is a wonder; three long glorious miles of it. If you take kids then they can play safely in the shallows and there is so much beach (!) that it never seems to be busy. It is truly beautiful and I am itching to book again. People opposite us had stayed there 6 weeks ago and loved it so much that they were back again.

We spent a wonderful week in Hayle and staying at Salt Life added to to the fabulous experience. Would definitely recommend this property and location. Being able to walk straight out from the property onto the dunes was great. Really great beaches and plenty of places to visit, eat out.

We had a fabulous stay in Hayle, this was our 6th visit to the area because we absolutely love the Upton Towans beach for our dog. Previous accommodation has missed on several points because of our growing teens but can honestly say the Dunes have it all, spacious, ample storage, ample parking, the garden for our dog was amazing, well enclosed and lots of grass and shade. Salt life was everything we hoped for for our stay, have already recommended to friends and family and will definitely be returning.

Stayed for 7 nights for our honeymoon.
The place was immaculate on arrival, a spacious chalet in a beautiful, peaceful locale with comfy beds, all the mod-cons you could ask for and a supermarket just down the road. The private hot-tub was the cherry on top.
The only disappointment was having to go home at the end of our stay!
Absolutely brilliant, would love to go again.
