  • "Hi there, Your property was so beautiful, the stunning views were most tranquil."

    The beautiful decor and home comforts were very thoughtful and your kind gestures provided us with a warm and comfortable stay. Your property was so nice we looked forward to coming back after a long walk exploring the area. The stunning views were addictive and so relaxing, we felt like we were floating in a beautiful cloud. The only little issue we experienced was in the last couple of days of our stay we experienced lots of little flies in the balcony and entering the property through the open windows, kitchen & living room. We closed the windows immediately, so they couldn’t enter, and we managed to remove most of the flies which had entered the property. But this meant that we couldn’t use the balcony on these couple of evenings. Other than this little issue, the stay was absolutely amazing and we enjoyed every second here. Thank you so much for sharing your stunning property with us.

    Thank you for taking the time to review your stay, it is great to see that you enjoyed your holiday with us and loved our amazing views! We appreciate you letting us know about the issue with the flies, this hasn’t previously been reported but we will certainly take a look to see what might be causing this. We are glad this didn’t take away from your lovely holiday and we hope you will stay with us again in the future. Property Owner

  • "Beautiful view, spacious apartment."

    Warm comfortable, clean and very well equipped. Steep walk down the hill and back to the beach but that was fine for our family. Might struggle if mobility wasn’t good or very young children , but great for our group. We knew the lift wasn’t working but one flight of small steps wasn’t a problem. Really easy to get to St Ives by train or we walked along costal route. Lots of surf beaches around but I also loved swimming in calm waters of Carbis bay. Nice restaurants and cafes locally we could walk to but also lots of places in St Ives. Definitely want to return. Thank you

    Thank you for you lolvey feedback. We are pleased to see that you had a great holiday with us and loved swiming in Carbis Bay as well as walks along the coastal paths. We look forward to seeing you again in the near future. Kind regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

  • "The property was lovely."

    Great location and views. Everything you need for a comfortable stay. The only let down of this booking was the property management company who didn’t provide the keys to access to the property. This meant lots of chasing, frustration and melting shopping!

    Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback after your stay. We are pleased to see that you have a comfortable stay. The check in time for properties is at 4pm on they day, the keys will not be available until after this time due to changeover and the property being cleaned for arrival. Kind regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

  • "Fantastic apartment with everything you could need."

    Only thing missing was shower non slip mat in the large shower. My young grandson slipped and badly bruised himself but he was fine after a while. Great views. Very tiring walk back from the beach up the very long steep hill. Car park at the bottom near the beach but £20. Per day.

    Thank you for your feedback we are glad to see that the apartment was fantastic. We are pleased to inform you that a new shower mat has been ordered by the owners. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back again in the near future. Kindest regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

    Apartment was perfect for us and the view was spectacular. Loved watching the boats and also people on the beautiful Carbis Bay Beach. Nice walk to train station which was then couple of minutes to St Ives on train or just as lovely was the walk along coastal path into St Ives. Would love to return.

    Fabulous apartment with wonderful sea views which we never tired of. Not the weather for sitting on the balcony sadly. Very clean and everything you need for a comfortable stay. Just one suggestion for guests when first arriving. Need to tell people that the actual key collection point for the gate operation is around the corner of the gatepost - not the first key box you see on the front above the intercom!

  • "The property is lovely and the views are just simply stunning, the location was also perfect being close to the beach and train station."

    Unfortunately we had 2 issues, firstly the tumble dryer didn't work and the way C Bay Holidays handled the issue was unprofessional. Also one day we were relaxing in the apartment and the owner tried to enter with a painter wanting to paint the railings. He apologised but it was hard to relax after that even with such lovely views.

    We are glad to see that you enjoyed the views. We are sorry you had some issues and we will take the points into accounts for future improvements. Kind regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

    Very well equipped kitchen with excellent range of cookware for dinner preparation, baking and even a blender for soup, had we wished to make. Very rare in holiday accommodation to be so well covered in this area and we appreciated the quality of items offered. Parking space at front of property easy to get in and out of. One flight of stairs up to the apartment or a lift. We arranged for Tesco’s to deliver our shopping shortly after we arrived and they wheeled the order from the van, up in the lift and into the apartment! Steep walk down to the beach. Restaurants at the local hotel and beach front. The costal path to St Ives is a substantial paved path and an easy walk, plenty to see and do there with lots of interesting shops and cafes. We visited all our favourite locations nearby and have booked our return visit. Wonderful holiday!

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. The Godrevy Nature Reserve and Penwith Heritage Coast are also within easy reach from Carbis Bay, providing outdoors and watersports plans with even more activities to partake in, including coasteering and birdwatching. Carbis Bay is truly a wonderful holiday location for those wanting to experience Cornwall's breathtaking coastline.
