A tranquil apartment elevated above Carbis Bay, this family-friendly abode is an excellent choice for a traditional seaside break with your party of four. Famed for its gentle waters and golden sand, the nearby beach is a haven for sandcastle building, shoreline games and swimming. The South West Coast Path promises miles of dramatic scenery on your doorstep, and you’ll be able to discover St Ives with ease thanks to the nearby train station 0.5 miles away. Take to the cobbled streets and whet your appetite with culinary delights, absorb the artistic flair of quirky art galleries, or simply settle down and enjoy the atmosphere. When the little ones grow restless, there’s a museum, subtropical gardens and even a nearby theatre to enjoy too, all within 1 mile.

Situated on the first floor of a quiet complex, but accessed directly at ground level, your welcoming abode is simply presented with a homely twist. You’ll find cosy recliners, a deep sofa and a fully equipped kitchen area fit for whipping up a feast. Adjoining the lounge/diner, the kitchen has everything you need to prepare your meals before settling down at the table together. Switch on the 50 inch Smart TV and watch a film together, play your favourite tunes on the Bluetooth speaker or simply marvel at the breathtaking views. The double bedroom is a sanctuary with an en-suite shower room, and the delightful twin room is suitable for children and adults alike. Completing the property is a family bathroom with a shower over the bath, ideal for a long soak after a busy day.

Outside, the shared garden is mainly laid to lawn with a sunny terrace that’s perfect for relaxing and taking in the ever changing view of the ocean after a busy day.

Wow what a lovely apartment. The view from the lounge is absolutely stunning - out over Carbis Bay & all the way to St Ives. Captivating. The train station is 5 mins walk away - 3 mins to St Ives in one direction & 6 mins to Hayle (St Erth) the other way. The flat was spotless & very well equipped and there was even a very welcome 'welcome pack'.

The apartment is in a beautiful location and has a fantastic view. Near many restaurants and train station. Very well equipped kitchen with all that you need to prepare meals. The bed is comfortable, although as it's a double is not as roomy as some. Plenty of drawer and hanging space too. Would have no hesitation in staying again

Fantastic view, very comfortable, kitchen fully equipped, very useful having washing machine and dishwasher. Steep walk down the road to the beach but well worth it. Great beach for sandcastles!
