A beautiful house with the perfect location. Comfortable beds and fantastic hot tub with views of the sea. Such a beautiful beach with an easy walk. Beautiful views wherever you are in the house. Clean and stylish with lots of areas for a large group to hang out. Most amenities you could need but a few minor things missing so I would check beforeRead more your visit to ensure you have all that you need as it is not easy to contact owners while you are there. Good WiFi but no phone signal there. Lots of parking and a lovely walk to St Ives. We had a great time in this beautiful house. Hide

The house was perfectly equipped for our stay. Although we didnt do much cookingaside from warming our dogs food, the kitchen appeared to have everything you might need. One of our top priorities is a good nights sleep, and we werent disappointed, the bed was extremely comfortable, and the living room sofas were just as inviting for relaxing. The oRead moreutdoor seating area was a real highlight, ideal for both dining and unwinding while enjoying stunning ocean views. In fact, the views were incredible throughout and you could see the ocean from every room in the house. The location couldnt have been better, perched above Carbis Bay with a short, scenic walk down to the beach and the excellent restaurants at the Carbis Bay Hotel. For those who enjoy walking, St Ives is also within easy reach. Overall, everything about this house was exceptional, and we would absolutely return. Hide

The most wonderful house with spectacular views. Easy to reach the beach and the hot tub was a great addition. Walking distance to fabulous eating places on the beach and a nice walk into St Ives.

So worth it for the location and views. Everything was like new and the house was immaculate. Hide

Ideal family getaway, Outstanding views from nearly all rooms in the house. Beautifully furnished and lacking nothing in the equipment stakes. Only possible drawback is the number of stairs/steps inside the property and in the garden for those with limited mobility.
