Monterey

Porthtowan | Sleeps 10

Sitting on a grassroots surf spot, Monterey is one of a new generation of beach houses in Cornwall: subtle, convivial, and just a few salty paces from the sea. There’s something about it that harks to a dream from the salad days: a beach of one's own, porpoises for neighbours, and sunsets so pink they turn the whole place to candyfloss.
