Fill your days with craggy clifftop walks, freshly baked Cornish pasties, and bat and ball beach games at this stunning property. Perfect for families of four, this serene holiday home is an ideal base for seeing more of Cornwall’s coast.

Enter this elegant seaside property to be greeted by a contemporary layout with pristine attention to detail. Feel instantly calm in open plan living/kitchen/diner, which has been lovingly decorated in whites and blues with plenty of thoughtful touches. Sink into the armchair, glass of bubbles in hand, and take full advantage of the panoramic sea views out over the bay. Catch up with your favourite people before starting tea in the well-equipped kitchen, dotted with all modern fixtures and fittings. Gather around the table for a special meal, and chatter well into the night. Rest weary heads in the two bedrooms, a cosy twin room with pretty decor and a double with sea views and a private balcony, perfect for morning coffees.

Immerse yourself in Cornish coastline right from the doorstep of this beautiful property. Ramble along the South West Coast Path, 630-miles of unspoiled vistas, which can be joined in above Carbis Bay beach. Dip your toes in the still waters here and explore the mile-long golden sands. Bird spotters will be in their element here, as a short walk at low tide brings you out to the RSPB bird sanctuary at Porth Kidney Sands. Venture the 1-mile trek over to St Ives to visit the world-renowned Tate St Ives, eat at many eclectic bars and restaurants, wander cobbled streets in search of a unique souvenir, or watch the boats come in at the harbour.

The view is amazing,we so enjoyed watching the view of the bay. The beds not so comfortable in our opinion and the whole family struggled with this. The area is lovely and it was great to have a parking space with the flat.

Really lovely apartment. Spectacular views across Carbis Bay. Access to the coastal path is steps away and you can walk into St.Ives. Kitchen was the best equipped that we have ever stayed in. We really enjoyed our stay and will be visiting again.

We had another lovely stay in this apartment, and were really lucky to have super nice weather. The apartment feels like a home from home as it's so well equipped, and great for popping down to the beach. The views are so beautiful, we never tire of it.

The flat was very clean and the location was excellent. Just a short walk to the shops and nearest pub. The view of the beach was lovely, which was also just a short walk away.

Location very good, near to the Carbis beach. Sleeping on these mattresses was an experience. Cooking near by a smoke detector is not funny.
