Lovely apartment with everything you need, we had one issue with the toilet flush which was fixed promptly, there is a smell as others have mentioned from the downstairs shower room, so we did not use it, apart from that everything was good.

The views across Carbis Bay are stunning and literally a 2 min walk to the beach. Overall a great stay and would stay again.

We were really looking forward to our stay at Ocean Cove but upon arrival felt let down by the standard of cleanliness, so much so we had to buy cleaning supplies and clean some areas ourselves!

! General hoovering was fine etc but the drawers in the freezer/fridge were dirty, mats on bedroom marked with white stains, velour dining room chairs stained and marked, black mould up around the velux windows in both upstairs en-suites and black mould on the silicon seals around bath and one en-suite had a large flap of paint hanging off the wall near the vellux exposing bare plaster. The Towel rail thick with dust (hardly hygenic). The balcony on the upper floor that is off both bedrooms was unusable as the flooring was mossy and dirty and the plastic rattan furniture had moss growing in the seat gaps and bird dirt all over. The balcony also had a broken hanging plant pot hidden just behind the seating along with someone’s swim shorts!!!! We actually chose the use the bedroom with the window as the bedroom with the patio door to the balcony was dismal as you were just looking out on filth!! The leg on the armchair was broken and we didn’t sit in that chair as was concerned that leg would collapse. The kitchen cupboards are very poor, the doors are cockled along their edges. The lights in the bedrooms upstairs didn’t work, one had a spent bulb that needed replacing (mentioned in previous review week earlier) & the other the light does not work properly, the lower floor toilet& shower also smelt. After noticing some reviews about cleanliness after booking I contacted Carbis Bay Holidays via what’s app on their app and asked if particular care could be paid to the cleaning as my wife is immunosuppressed & has to be careful with cleanliness. I did put a complaint in with pictures via What’s App via the app upon arrival, nothing happened so after a day or so I went into the Carbis Bay Holidays Office. That lady was helpful & arranged for cleaners to attend the next day. They cleaned away the black mould around the veluxes/bath & removed the large flap of paint hanging down and just left bare plaster. The broken crockery and swim shorts behind the seating on the balcony were removed but no cleaning was done to remove thick moss or bird dirt on the seating or sweep the flooring on the balcony leaving it still unusable. The chair leg in the lounge was still broken, dining room chairs fabric still stained. Freezer drawers etc were cleaned. We did contact the lady at the office but no further work was done or even a reply sent. I would say that the standard of furniture and decor was good but it is being badly let down by the cleaning &!maintenance. The views are second to none. This experience has left me feeling let down & I would be very unlikely to book this or any other property through Carbis Bay Holidays or Sykes again. The overriding feeling was once booked they truly don’t care!! We have stayed in this block of apartments before but booked through a different operator and had none of these issues! A lot of these issues were mentioned repeatedly in reviews as far back as May’26 and we stayed in late September ‘26, not good enough!!

Property in general was very nice, very well equipped and in a great spot.

The patio’s were in desperate need of a good clean. The downstairs shower room had quite a bad smell like dirty drains, which wasn’t very pleasant. The bedrooms were perhaps suitable for a family with children rather than 3 separate couples. Overall we had a very pleasant stay.
