Set in the picture-perfect cove of Carbis Bay, enjoy glorious views across the bay to St Ives and Godrevy Lighthouse at this light and bright coastal getaway perfect for families looking to uncover the sandy shoreline, scenic walks and freshly caught produce that makes West Cornwall so irresistible.

After a long day exploring your sandy surroundings, no better inviting welcome is the plush, comfy sofas in the cosy lounge; unwind weary walking muscles amongst the soothing neutral colour palette and fantastic views over Carbis Bay from the expanse of picture windows. Head into the contemporary kitchen/diner to get creative with all the delicious local produce you’ve collected and enjoy making special family memories seated around the wooden dining table. As day turns to dusk, you have two beautifully presented bedrooms on this level and a third bedroom comprising the first floor offering superb views of Godrevy Lighthouse to retire to for a well-earned rest. Soak up your glorious views and catch some stunning sunsets over the bay by dining alfresco on the veranda wrapping around the property before exploring the lawn or joining the footpath leading to the beach.

The picturesque harbourside town of St Ives comprises a maze of cobbled streets lined with independent shops and some award-winning restaurants and cafés serving the best freshly caught produce this area has to offer. Creative minds can explore the many world-famous galleries in St Ives, including the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden (1.5 miles away), comprising over 30 impressive sculptures set amongst beautifully landscaped gardens, and the iconic Tate St Ives 2 miles away. Explore the award-winning Porthminster Beach just under 1.5 miles away and paddle its crystal waters before leisurely relaxing in a quintessentially seaside deck chair or aiming for a hole-in-one at the 18-hole mini golf course nearby.

This was our first time staying at Sandbanks and found the property perfect for our needs. The location was excellent, walks to the beach, train into st Ives or drive anywhere else we needed. The views of the sea were beautiful and the outside area is lovely, especially when the weather is good. The aga took a bit of getting used to but was warm anRead mored homely in the kitchen on rainy days. Hide

Amazing location with a stunning view. The easy access to Carbis Bay Train station, the beach and the main road are perfect for exploring, whilst also having enough comfortable space inside to relax and unwind. Will look forward to booking again the next time we are down there.
