  • "The apartment was very clean and very nicely decorated."

    The kitchen was well equipped and the welcome biscuits and juice etc were appreciated. The family bathroom was very nice and a good size. We had a very enjoyable stay. I was disappointment by the lack of storage- there wasn’t enough draw space for a family of 4 for a week. We just about managed in the children’s twin bedded room, but my husband ended up putting folded clothes under the bed. The bed was a double, not king which is unusual and we didn’t sleep brilliantly. There’s several sets of doors (2 of which are coded) to get through, this made unpacking the car quite a task! It’s a beautiful apartment, but didn’t quite work for a family of 4.

    A lovely touch to have fresh milk already waiting for you in the fridge with a lovely Cornish baked cookie. Cannot fault White Sails. Only gave a 9/10 because the road at times was a little noisy, but nothing to disturb. Will definitely stay again! The view was amazing.

  • "Very happy with the appartment position and standard of the equipment but have a few minor suggestions for improvement."

    Instructions file should have essential info listed briefly at front and be regularly updated; thick file difficult to use, eg could not locate spare bulbs initially.. The toaster is difficult to set resulting in us setting off smoke alarm. it is overdue for replacement. Need more coat hooks near entrance door. The milk pan base is too small is at risk of toppling over on the hob. Heated towel rails were on too long especially during hot weather resulting in wasted energy. Flickering daylight bulb above TV needs replacing with warm white and bedside lamps should be fitted with dimmable LED bulbs.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased you liked the location of the property and thank you for your constructive comments which have been taken on board and reported to the correct department. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

    There was everything we needed for a great and comfortable stay and all fixtures and fitting were very high quality. The views are amazing and we were even lucky enough to see a family of seagulls caring for their young on a nearby rooftop. A very minor improvement would be a fan as it was very warm in the bedrooms and the window openings are restricted. Otherwise it was perfect.

    Thank you very much for your lovely comments, these are very much appreciated and we will certainly pass on your comment regarding the window openings. We look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future. Kind regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

  • "We had a lovely stay at White Sails."

    It was spotlessly clean when we arrived and had everything you would need in the kitchen and spare cupboard. The view from the window was stunning and the garden area in front was immaculate. The location was excellent, just a short walk from the train station where you could catch a train to the numerous shops and restaurants in St Ives. During the day there was a lovely walk into st ives which took less than half an hour along the coastal path. Carbis Bay is ideal for a quieter holiday but still close to everything. Good to have a safe parking space too.

    This is our second time in Sands and by far White Sailes is the best apartment gifted with beautiful views from the living room and the bed rooms. The apartment was well equipped and really surprised to see all the beach equipments in the cupboard too. It's a great benefit that you gave secured parking as it's very tricky to find parking down at the beach area and if you are precious about your vehicle this is one of the places to stay.

    So polite & accommodating. The apartment superb. Welcoming, beautifully furnished, with the smallest of detail having been thought of. Fantastic views of Carbis Bay & ideally situated in easy reach of everywhere we wanted to visit. In fact, if we’d had longer, we would have spent the odd day with a cliff/beach walk, then simply relaxing in the apartment enjoying the peacefulness, sat on the balcony, glass of wine & a good book together with the wonderful fresh sea air.... Perfecto! The owners & Carbis Bay Holidays should be proud of themselves, as would take a lot to beat. Our Thanks to you all. "

About the location

CARBIS BAY

St Ives 2 miles ; Hayle 3.5 miles ; Penzance 8.5 miles

Just a short drive from iconic St Ives, the seaside village of Carbis Bay is best-known for its beautiful stretch of pure white sand. With turquoise waters and sheltered conditions, the beach feels almost subtropical and is the perfect spot for a good old-fashioned day by the sea. The beach is also home to the Ocean Sports Centre, so if sunbathing is not really your thing, why not hire a kayak or SUP and get out on the water instead. Or why not treat yourself to a Spa day at the delightful hotel which overlooks the beach and has a fabulous terrace where cocktails can be enjoyed in the Cornish sunshine? Carbis Bay has a small range of local shops and restaurants as well as a fish & chip takeaway and railway branch line. The train journey from Carbis Bay into St Ives is perhaps one of the most beautiful in the country; St Ives additionally makes for a great day out, with plenty of galleries to explore. The quayside town of Hayle also isn't far and is home to activities for the all the family, including a golf and a wildlife sanctuary.
