"Wow, this property is everything you want to relax and reset."
Heavenly views, clean, everything works ! Fluffy towels and luxury linen. Thoughtfully equipped, plugs my mirrors. High end appliances. Hot tub to relax the achey muscles after walking the glorious coastal paths. Short 4 minutes train ride to St Ives right outside the door . Thank you , we will be back .

"Well, it is fair to say that we absolutely loved our time at Bayvista."
Having stayed in a number of properties in Carbis Bay previously, this one is at the top of our list! The views are spectacular. We absolutely loved the furniture and decor so much that I've taken lots of photos and we are going to re-decorate when we get home. Hot tub is amazing. Thank you for the amazing memories made with our family. We will be booking again!

"We have had an amazing stay here at the Bayvista following our beach wedding at Carbis Bay Hotel on the 5th September 2025."
The house is so well presented and clean, we have loved every minute of being here and can't quite believe the week has gone so fast. Lots of time spent in the hot tub looking at the stars and watching out over the bay. Would love to come back again!

"Having stayed at the hotel previously, we were looking for somewhere stylish, spacious and with unparallel views of the bay."
This property smashed through all of our expectations. The location, interior design and views are probably unbeatable in Carbis.

"Beautiful house, which met all of our needs."
We made a lot of use of the hot tub during our stay. We also enjoyed using the binoculars to look at the incredible views and to search for dolphins. The playing cards were a nice touch and we filled our evenings playing card games as a family.

"Beautiful property with spectacular views ."
Great location for the beach and train station. You really don't need to use the car once you are here as it is so easy to visit St Ives via the train. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Carbis Bay and having this beautiful house as our base made it perfect.

"We had a fantastic stay here but were very disappointed as whilst we were enjoying a coffee in bed on our last day, looking at the wonderful view we were interrupted by the hot tub man emptying the pool and prepping it for the next guests!"
! Not only were we not able to use the facilities until the checkout time, (the time wed payed over £3000 to have use till) but we felt we were prisoners in the room as we had to close all the blinds so the chap couldn't see us in bed! Really not acceptable! We also had the cleaners sat in the carpark whilst we packed the car, Talk about wanting you OUT!
Thanks for your review, feedback and rating of 4.7 / 5. We are pleased you had a fantastic stay. Changeover days are always extremely busy in August meaning the Housekeeping team will be keen to prep the property at your 10am checkout time ready for our next guests. Thanks for staying at Bayvista.

"Bayvista, WOW what a place!"
An absolutely stunning home with a fully equipped kitchen, hot tub, washing machine and spectacular views! The house was very clean along with the garden area and the hot tub. There was no faults at all apart from the lack of wardrobe space. The location was ideal with the beach being opposite and the train station a minute walk away which takes you to St Ives in less than 4 minutes. We absolutely loved everything about this place. It was modern clean and quirky. We didn't want to leave! We also loved the welcome gift and tote bag. Such a lovely touch with a warm welcome. Thank you and until next time!

"We thought the apparent was finished to a high standard and the location was perfect."
We would love to return next year but have looked to re book and seen the prices have gone up to much that we would have to look at something else as it is now out of our budget. We were hoping this place would be somewhere we could call our little getaway in Carbis bay.
Thank you for making our holiday and helping loss of our beloved doggy Beau xx

"The only reasons that I didn't give this very nice property a 5* was:
a) The speciation on line said that it had a dryer, it does not."
Therefore, because the weather was rather wet at times, we needed to use radiators to dry clothes.
b) There was no direct access from the back bedroom to the hot tub or the doorway to the road (which would be more convenient). No problem if you are a family but not so convenient with friends. A pity the architect didn't substitute the back bedroom window for a door as this would have given access. Also the intermediate gate along what would have been an access way was not bolted (we couldn't access the bolt) so occasionally blew open and shut in the
wind.
c) The back bedroom lacked space between the bed and side walls. Also lacked storage space for hanging clothes.
Overall though the apartment was superbly decorated and the seating area was very comfortable. It's also got superb views and is only a short walk to the train station into St Ives
Many thanks for your feedback we are pleased you enjoyed your stay… the washing machine is a washer/dryer combination machine so not separate. Your point on access was considered but not achievable at the time of design due to a specific build issue which was a shame as agree it would be desirable. Other points have been noted…. Thanks again for booking Bayvista.

"Bayvista is a clean, comfortable, well furnished, dog friendly apartment with stunning views over Carbis Bay beach, and the hot tub is a perfect place to relax while watching the sun set over St Ives."
The coastal path walk into St Ives (about a mile and a half) is always a pleasure but, if you’re feeling lazy, Carbis Bay train station is literally next door!
The Cornish Arms is a friendly pub within walking distance that does great food and if you’re lucky enough to bump into Annie, ask her tell you one of her jokes!!
We’ve been holidaying in Carbis Bay for many years now and this is our first time at Bayvista. It won’t be the last .

"We had an incredible time at Bayvista."
The views over Carbis Bay & towards St Ives are spectacular. Having the train station opposite was fabulous and we rarely moved the car - visiting St Ives, Truro, Penzance and Falmouth easily - the walk along the cliffs to St Ives is stunning too.
A couple of highlights included some stunning sun rises/sets, dolphin spotting in the bay & watching shooting stars from the hot tub.
The accommodation is exceptional, spotlessly clean & finished to a very high standard (the photos don’t do it justice). The local artwork throughout the property is beautiful. The kitchen is very well equipped & having washing up liquid, cloths & tea towels was very helpful. The linen is thick and luxurious & sitting outside snuggled in one of the many throws with a coffee, was lovely in January. The hot tub is checked regularly & housekeeping were really helpful. The welcome hamper, milk in the fridge & fresh flowers were lovely touches & made us feel very welcome.
The owners were quick to respond to a couple of minor issues & couldn’t have been more helpful.
If we had one minor niggle, it would be lack of storage space in the bedrooms & bathrooms - we did feel some additional drawers and/or shelves would be helpful. Otherwise - an exceptional property, in a peaceful & quiet, but prime location. We loved it & would have no hesitation in recommending it
Thank you for your kind review, it is so great to read about your stay and it's amazing that you were able to see the local dolphins! Thank you for your feedback also, this is always appreciated. We hope you will book again in the future, please do get in touch with us if you have any queries at all. Many thanks - Carbis Bay Holidays Team.
