Description
Set overlooking St Ives Bay, in Carbis Bay, this three-bedroom, semi detached villa enjoys panoramic sea views from most rooms, its balconies and garden.Ideally positioned for Carbis Bay Beach, the St Ives scenic railway and the South West Coast Path, all a short walk away, Innisfree offers a wonderful location for a family escape to the Cornish coast.
The spacious open-plan living area consists of a kitchen, dining and sitting spaces, extending out to a seaward facing patio.Open up the French doors, surrounded with Colonial style, white wash, concertina shutters exuding a New England feel and breathe in the Cornish sea air.The breath-taking view stretches down the garden and across the bay from Porthminster Point to the Godrevy Lighthouse. Natural light floods the living area through the glazed doors and, combined with the muted colour palette, makes it a wonderful space to relax.Two comfortable, large sofas are ideally positioned to take in the Cornish vista, or watch your chosen entertainment on the large television with Freeview and BT Vision. The dining area is a great spot to socialise with the family, sitting conveniently between the kitchen and lounge.A solid oak table with bench seating for up to six guests is provided for your comfort. The contemporary kitchen is well-appointed with black granite work tops and has direct access to the seaward facing patio through a second set of glazed doors, perfect for dining alfresco. The second bedroom is located off the entrance hallway on the ground floor, and is fitted with an Arts and Crafts-style double bed, and plenty of storage space.It looks out over the front garden planted with shrubs and parking area. A handy cloakroom can be found across the hallway, with sink and WC.The utility room with washing machine and drying racks completes the ground floor accommodation. The main king-sized bedroom is located on the first floor, with sweeping views across St Ives Bay.Open the balcony doors to take in the sights, sounds and smells of the sea - a real delight for the senses.Unfold the chairs kept inside the door and enjoy your first morning coffee in the company of the raucous seagulls.An ensuite bathroom with a large walk-in shower and plentiful wardrobe space complete the main bedroom area.
An airy and bright twin bedroom can also be found on the first floor, again with extensive views towards the sea.This room is ideal for children, teenagers or even grandparents to spread themselves and put their feet up.A chest of drawers and hanging space are included for clothes incase the kids prefer them to the floor!In another corner a comfortable chair entices guests to sit and read.
The family bathroom with bath and hand held shower unit is located off the first floor landing, in between the first floor bedrooms.Lit by a sky light and enjoying sea views, it's a fabulous space to soak after a day on the beach or coast path.
The enclosed, rear garden is accessed via the kitchen/lounge patio doors or through a gate to the side of the property.Children love the large lawn for playing games and adults usually make for the elevated patio where they can sit in comfort on wooden garden furniture to watch the antics.Catch the late afternoon rays here or dine alfresco whilst enjoying the magnificent vistas. Please note that the use of Barbeques are not permitted at the property. A hose is provided to the side of the property-very useful for washing off sandy feet and wetsuits.
A short walk down Boskerris Road brings you to Carbis Bay Beach which has been awarded Blue Flag status.On a sunny day, azure waters, golden sand and patrolling life guards (at peak times) provide perfect conditions for swimming, paddle-boarding or kayaking.The beach provides something for all the family. The South West Coast path connects the beach to Lelant and Hayle in one direction and St Ives in the other.Wildlife enthusiasts may spot seals, dolphins and teeming birdlife on the clifftop paths, and the wildflowers are a sight to behold.The bustling fishing village of St Ives, internationally renowned for its art scene, is only a 30-minute walk away along a picturesque path that criss-crosses the railway.Those with tired legs can always hop on the St Ives branch-line for the 2-minute train ride back to base and enjoy one of the most scenic rail journeys in the country. In his celebrated poem, William Yeats always longed to escape his city life and return to the isle of Innisfree where he could immerse himself in nature and find solitude.A holiday at our Carbis Bay Innisfree offers exactly that: a place to relax in peace, surrounded by Nature in all her glory.

What guests are saying
We had a fantastic week at Innisfree.
It is an attractive, well positioned and well equipped comfortable house. It has a beautiful view from a number of rooms. We would definitely recommend it and would love to return there.
This was our 3rd stay at Innisfree and as before we had a lovely relaxing holiday .
The location is perfect for easy access to trains or buses and is also good for driving to most parts of the county. Kitchen has a good selection of utensils for self catering (loads of saucepans) although we would have liked a pyrex bowl for using in the microwave.It is a pity that Innisfree does not publish its hiring information for the next year. We would have booked to come again this September but it was not available when we looked 9/10 months ahead . We would also have booked for our 4th stay in April 2027 but again not available .
House was ideal for us as a family of four in a great location to catch the train which the children love.
Facilities were perfect for a short break. Whilst the key areas like bathrooms were clean and tidy I feel the house needs a more thorough deep clean to get rid of cobwebs, crumbs on counters, contact lens on carpet, clean window/window sills etc. We did really appreciate plenty of handwash, washing up liquid and toilet rolls as we have stayed at more expensive homes and had nothing on arrival.
