What guests are saying
My favourite home-from-home for a short-break in the whole of Cornwall.
Sea Glass is perfection in every single way! Thank you so much! Xx
Lovely apartment, everything you need in a great location.
You can walk into St. Ives or catch the bus outside the apartment. The large balcony and parking is a bonus. Love the shower and a bath too. Would definitely book again!
Sea Glass is a great apartment located in Carbis Bay.
The apartment is located on the lower ground floor of the complex and can be reached either from the front of the building or from the car park; either way it is reached by one flight of stairs or lift. The apartment is well equipped and has a large balcony area as per the description but you can’t really see the sea due to the large trees between the apartment and the coast. the two bedrooms are a good size but the smaller bedroom in our opinion was lacking cupboards or drawers for storing your clothing, only a few hangers and hooks are available for guest use. Both bathrooms are modern and well maintained. It is easy to park up at the apartment and walk into St Ives (45 min walk) or use the bus stop opposite the apartment or walk down the steep road to the train station (15 mins). Surprisingly the train is cheaper than the bus!
