Carbis Bay is most renowned for its gorgeous stretch of pure white sand, which is only a short drive from the famous St. Ives. With its turquoise seas and sheltered conditions, the beach is ideal for a traditional day at the beach. The beach also features an Ocean Sports Centre, so if sunbathing is not your thing, you can rent a kayak or stand-up paddleboard and head out on the ocean instead. Or, why not indulge in a Spa day at the boutique hotel that overlooks the beach and has a magnificent patio where cocktails may be sipped in the Cornish sunshine? Carbis Bay has a handful of local stores and restaurants, as well as a fish-and-chips takeout and a railroad spur. The rail ride from Carbis Bay to St. Ives is one of the most scenic in the nation.

Correcting another review the temperature could be easily adjusted via the thermostat in the kitchen. The access down to the property was tight, however we had two large vehicles and found no problem parking 3 vehicles. The shortcut down to the SW coast path was great which one way took us to St Ives at 15 mins and Carbis Bay at 10 mins walk. Recommend La Casita in Carbis Bay for genuine Spanish tapas and paella. We feel we need to address the communication at the beginning of the holiday, we received a message from the owners that we felt was rather threatening regarding dogs, asking us to not use the lawn and other restrictions finishing with a threat of a £50 fine if broken. If these were addressed before booking we may have thought differently about staying. The same language was used throughout the instructions in the handbook, even having a paragraph on self tan and makeup. For a relaxed holiday this communication needs to be looked at. So in the end the property was fabulous, the owners need to relax.

Stunning location, views to die for, everything we needed for a wonderful week away. Just perfect! Would go again in a heartbeat! What a nice surprise that we could walk through the garden and onto the path to Carbis Bay hotel and beach - it was much closer than we expected. Nothing negative to say but one request would be more mirrors generally and perhaps a full length mirror in the main bedroom as there was only one very tiny mirror on the bedroom wall.

The house is immaculate with great attention to detail and everything needed for a comfortable, hassle-free stay is provided. We love our holidays here!
