For refreshments, there are various pubs, cafes and restaurants, and there are other nearby seaside towns and their beaches to explore including the popular St Ives, 2 miles away, which you can reach via a scenic train ride from the centre of Carbis Bay.

A very pleasant stay in a comfortable clean flat which has 2 spacious bedrooms. The owner provided a welcome pack which was much appreciated. Just a short walk to the beach and train station so nicely positioned. Would recommend.

This duplex apartment benefits from having a downstairs and upstairs. It is so homely and very clean. Its decorated beautifully with a seaside theme. Upon arrival we were greeted with a wonderful welcome pack of goodies and milk in the fridge too. We were so grateful after such a long drive. Really nice touch. The beds and sofa are so comfortRead moreable too. Really is a home from home. The location is fantastic situated in carbis bay which is nice and quiet but still has local pubs, shops and restaurants within walking distance. The beach is a short walk too about 5 mins to the beautiful beach of carbis bay. This is on a hill though so walking back can be tiring if you struggle walking. We did the coastal walk to Porthkidney beach along the beaten track to enjoy the large quiet beach with our dog. Dogs are allowed on the beach all year round which is fantastic. The train station is a short walk too. Takes about 5 minutes and is just around the corner from carbis bay beach. We took the scenic train to st ives which took only 3 minutes which was great. St ives is beautiful although very busy during peak season. We really enjoyed our stay so much and will definitely be back in the future. Hide

We had a really lovely week at Ocean's Nest. It was comfortable and cosy - everything we needed as a base for the week. And being short walk from the beach was ideal!

Very clean and comfortable apartment with all modern appliances from a food mixer through to a dishwasher. Chemist and convenience store on doorstep. 5 minutes walk from train station to catch train to St. Ives, a lot easier than trying to park in St Ives. Would highly recomend for couples or families

A lovely, cosy apartment for accessing Carbis Bay, St Ives and the wider area. You can walk down to the beach from the apartment or to the train station to avoid parking. Fully equipped kitchen so can cook up meals if needed. Board games and books were a nice addition to the property.
