This has resulted in over 70% of the property being booked by March each year, mainly by returning guests and their friends, now taking mainly repeat bookings for next year.

Inviting interiors have just the right mix of contemporary seaside chic and trad features. Family heaven a pebble’s throw from the beach comfortably sleeping 8.

The moment you step out of your car you hear the waves and smell the sea. Midway between two of the loveliest fishing villages of south Cornwall – Kingsand and Cawsand are as one – is a handsome well-proportioned Georgian house a street back from the sea. It is the perfect base, from which to explore Cornwall's forgotten corner. The villages alone have 3 family friendly beaches in a sheltered bay, the more adventurous may prefer the more rugged Whitsand Bay, only a short drive away.

All generations will love it here as it is a brilliant set up for families. Step in to find carpeted stairs and deep cream sofas, beautiful sash windows a rustic-chic décor, it mixes contemporary and traditional features, all-white walls, pretty coastal-scene artworks and a sympathetic refurbishment provides a revitalising seaside freshness..

The kitchen is state of the art and holds everything you need with crockery by Emma Bridgewater. Store cupboard essentials are provided & other basics such as fresh bread & milk are available upon request, when guests are arriving on a changeover day.

The 4 elegant spacious double bedrooms are light and airy, the comfy beds are covered in White Company Linen and the luxurious ensuite bathrooms are divine.

There is a spacious dining and living room with open fire and the logs are on the house.

There are ample games (Monopoly, Risk, Scrabble etc), 100’s of books, DVDs, 42 inch HDTV, Sky TV & Box Office, Wi-Fi, Bose iPod doc, and plenty of toys; cricket bats, body boards, fishing nets, crab lines, boules etc – all for you. Older children will be in heaven, ambling up and down the winding car-free streets (cars are related to the car park) dropping in on ice-cream parlours and little pocket-money shops; tinies can run the sands and paddle in the rock pools – there are three family-safe beaches in this sheltered bay.

Also there is sunny patio garden with built in seats, safely enclosed for children and dogs, with access to BBQ and 2 kayaks (2 adult and 2 child lifejackets are available), which creates a home away from home, a world away from city life.

The sporty will kayak (there are two you can use) & sail, or trek the coastal path. The walking is a joy

It's hard to imagine this sweet Cornish house according to locals used to be a pub (Blue Anchor) which Nelson frequented and a cannon ball store (a triangular stack of cannon balls is called a Monkey) hence the name Blue Monkey.
