"Your home in Cornwall, cared for as if it were our own."

Now Accepting Enquiries Appointments available from April 2026

The Absent Owner's Dilemma

A coastal property of distinction demands far more than occasional attention. Salt air, Atlantic weather systems and the extended periods of vacancy that accompany second-home ownership create a particular set of risks — risks that accumulate quietly and are rarely visible until they become costly.

Most owners return to discover problems rather than prevent them. Responsibility is fragmented between cleaners, tradesmen and keyholders — none of whom holds a complete picture, and none of whom is accountable for the whole.

A single trusted local presence, with a professional standard of oversight, changes everything.

"We do not manage dozens of properties. We look after a few, exceptionally well."

The Coastal House

The Service

Monthly Inspections

Documented visits with written reports and photographs after every inspection. Structural, damp, drainage and ventilation checks as standard.

Storm Response

We attend your property following any significant weather event and report back within 24 hours. Cornwall's coast demands nothing less.

Access & Security

Secure keyholding with complete access records. Controlled entry for approved trades and contractors, with immediate emergency response.

Contractor Coordination

We source, brief and supervise trusted local trades on your behalf. Every piece of work overseen personally, with a single point of accountability.

Pre-Arrival Preparation

Your home fully prepared before you arrive — cleaned, heated, provisioned and exactly as it should be. A seamless arrival, every time.

Absolute Discretion

Complete confidentiality as standard. No signage, no third-party references without your consent. A service built on trust, not process.

All services are delivered personally by Lisa or Willow — never subcontracted to unknown parties.

The Coastal House is a family business.

Founded and led by two property professionals with over twenty years of experience and twenty years of life in Cornwall. We know this coastline, its properties, its trades and its rhythms intimately.

A Strictly Limited Appointment

The Coastal House is now accepting a small and strictly limited number of clients, with appointments available from April 2026. Once our portfolio is established, we will not be in a position to accept further instructions until capacity becomes available.

"We are selective about who we work with —
and our clients are selective about who they trust."

The Coastal House  ·  Cornwall

We are not the right appointment for every property — and we make no apology for that. We are the right appointment for those who understand that the care of an exceptional asset requires an exceptional standard of oversight. If that is you, we would welcome a conversation.

Arrange an Introduction No obligation  ·  No sales process

We Simply Have a Conversation.

If you would like to discuss your property and whether The Coastal House might be the right appointment for you, please contact Lisa directly.

There is no obligation and no sales process. We arrange a convenient time, visit your property, understand your requirements — and take it from there.
