The clifftop getaway, with its own parking and wi-fi, is about a three-minute walk through sand dunes to “jaw-dropping” Gwithian Beach at the Bay of St Ives, in Cornwall.

The listing says the accommodation on the award-winning stretch of coastline is “a place to step back in time”.

A trip to a beach hut can make a seaside break so much easier, with many now having kitchens and bathrooms inside.

But some even let you stay overnight - with beds squeezed inside too.

Similar to glamping, many huts have been kitted out with everything you might need for an overnight stay.

And some cost as little as £49 a day - compared to the average price of buying a beach hut of around £123k.

For example, Beach Hut 409 on Mudeford Split is right on the beach, with four beds inside.

This is along with a kitchen, complete with fridge and cooker, as well as outdoor shower and portaloo.

Or there is Sea Angel Vintage Beach Chalet in Cornwall, which sleeps four as well thanks to a double bed and bunk bed.

Previous guests even said there was a "bottle of bubbly and chocolates waiting for them" on arrival.

Mum bought our beach hut for £150 now it’s worth half a million… we can make £1k a week just from renting it

The cheapest option is staying at Branksome Chine in Dorset, which costs less than £50 a night.

Lily Smith, a travel from specialist booking service , said tourists often couldn't stay overnight in beach huts due to bans on overnight stays by local authorities.
