  • "We loved our stay at The Pearl."

    What with the lovely furnished and decorated apartment, the view was to die for. Just loved waking up to view of the sea. We had the most wonderful time and wouldn't hesitate in returning.

  • "We had an amazing stay at The Pearl."

    The property was beautifully decorated and furnished, very clean and everything you could possibly want was provided. The view is just stunning and you could just look out all day as it is so mesmerising. The owner has really gone above and beyond with this luxurious property. The extra gifts on arrival are a lovely touch. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning.

    Thank you for taking your time to leave such lovely feedback, it is much appreciated we are pleased to hear you had an amazing stay and we look forward to welcoming you back again in the future. Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

  • "Absolutely perfect apartment, beautiful decor, very clean and fantastic views of St Ives."

    Easy walk to Porthminster beach ( which is perfect white sand and crystal aqua water) Great for families, can hire kayaks, boards etc at a reasonable price too. Lovely walk downhill into town . Very hilly , so the walk back is a little taxing depending on fitness, but worth it. I've only given a 9 for comfort as the bed and pillows were hard and so our sleep wasn't perfect. Thankyou to the owners for the gifts on arrival, such a nice touch

    Thank you so much for your wonderful and constructive feedback! We are thrilled to hear you have enjoyed your time at The Pearl and are saddened to hear you have found bed and mattress hard. We note this is very much down to personal preference but want to assure you that your feedback has been taken on board and will get reviewed. We thank you again for your feedback and hope to get the opportunity to welcome you back soon! With Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner

    Would stop me coming back which is a real shame as loved the rest.

    Felt like it was all designed to such high standards and real thought has been put into the usability. Genuinely faultless and would gladly stay again. Incredible views and easy to access/park etc. Very clean, bedding, towels etc were all super comfy. Added bonus was no neighbours underneath or to the sides. Highly recommend.

  • "We had another fabulous stay at the Pearl."

    This is our second time and the property is wonderful and has a brilliant location just a few moments from Portminster beach and St Ives. The only reason I haven't given 10/10 is because the beds are so uncomfortable! I really think the owner should be kind to their guests and invest in a decent mattress - it would have been nice to leave feeling more rested than when I arrived!

  • "Fantastic apartment in what is surely one of the most prominent positions overlooking St Ives Bay."

    The amazing window arrangement, front, back and side allow spectacular views of the town, railway and harbour activity and long ranging views up the coast. Binoculars recommended! The lounge, kitchen and dining areas have a lovely open and homely feel, and are flooded with light. I particularly loved the high angular ceilings on the upper floor. The zip and link superking bed with the comfy topper ensured a sound sleep. A couple of minor issues: I would like to see the parking bays for 7 and 8 marked out, to ensure correct and quicker parking. Also some sections of the wooden floor would benefit from specialist preparation to address the grease marks in the wood grain. After many repeat stays in other Carbis Bay locations, I think this is certainly one of the very best, and will return.

  • "Wow, what an apartment."

    A Cornish luxury break in a British summer. We loved it. Views breathtaking of St Ives harbour & bay and Porthminister beach at its best. Not cheap but you get what you pay for. Facilities all high end and high quality. We would not hesitate recommending or booking again. Access to beach v easy and quick. Access to town v easy and a reserved car park space is awesome. Felt v at home and you will too. Thank you.

    I think there needs to be a small bin in the main bedroom. The chain on the car park was temperamental, and we couldn’t find any bin bags. Apart from that it was a fantastic week and we would stay again.

  • "The Pearl was just as described."

    The views from the living area and master bedroom are spectacular. Very much a home from home, everything is provided for a very comfortable stay. Just minutes to both Porthminster beach and into St Ives town, St Ives other beaches also accessible on foot, we barely used our car, other than for a day out to Porthleven. The parking space very much appreciated, its so difficult to find a property with parking in St Ives. We also enjoyed a costal walk to Carbis Bay, only half an hour from the property. A wonderful week, many thanks!

    The apartment is very clean, spacious and well equipped. St Ives is within walking distance. Like another reviewer, we also found the bed quite uncomfortable. It could do with a mattress topper and some thicker pillows. That being said to wake up to the view made it more bearable. We would recommend and hope to come back to St Ives soon.

  • "Great holiday in a very well positioned apartment."

    The views from the apartment are fantastic!! The apartment is very spacious and we really enjoyed our stay. We do feel though that come improvements could be made. Firstly a comfy bed! the apparent ‘king size’ bed was smaller than expected ( feet hanging out the end) and very hard and lumpy so we didn’t sleep as well as we could have. Also there’s no where to hang and dry wetsuits, this would be hugely beneficial given the location, and we felt the storage cupboard upstairs could make a good drying room. The bin in the kitchen is rubbish and needs replacing, and lack of recycling was also very disappointing. We did had a fabulous holiday and would love to come back (if the bed was changed) but looking at the prices for next year and how they’ve hiked up, I don’t think we will!

    Dear Ms Flanagan, Firstly, thank you for taking the time to complete feedback request. Its lovely to hear you had an enjoyable holiday. Please be assured we will note the points you have raised and action accordingly. In regard to the prices, there has been a huge demand for stay-cations this year and for 2022, which has increased prices in line with other letting agencies throughout the country. Prices also vary in line with the way school holiday weeks fall, and are also subject to annual price reviews. We would like to reassure you that the prices for 2022 are all monitored very closely and priced with seasonal variance and demand to establish the right balance. We look forward to inviting you back in the near future, Kind Regards, Owner Relations Team, Carbis Bay Holidays Property Owner
