About this property
Seaside Retreat rests in the coastal town of Carbis Bay nr St Ives, offering sea views from the living room and one of the bedrooms. A welcoming first-floor apartment that’s well-suited to couples or small groups in search of a laid-back seaside break. Step inside and you’re greeted by a bright and comfortable living and dining room, creating a sociable spot to relax after days spent wandering the clifftop paths of the South West Coast Path or enjoying the soft sands of the nearby bay. The kitchen is well-equipped for a straightforward self-catering stay, featuring an electric oven, gas hob, fridge/freezer, washer/dryer and dishwasher, everything needed for easy meals before heading back out to explore.
Two bedrooms offer a flexible arrangement for guests. The king-size room offers a view of the Carbis Bay to St Ives headland, and comes with its own TV and en-suite walk-in shower, while the double bedroom benefits from access to a private Juliet balcony, an inviting spot to catch the morning sunshine or enjoy a quiet drink as the evening settles in. A separate bathroom with bath, shower over, basin and WC completes the layout. With WiFi, a Smart TV, central heating and a designated parking space for one car, the apartment blends comfort with convenience. The sandy shores of Carbis Bay lie nearby for sea swims and coastal strolls, while the ever-popular harbour town of St Ives is within easy reach, known for its art galleries, winding streets and excellent places to eat.
Further along the coast, Hayle offers sweeping beaches and wildlife-rich dunes, while Penzance sits within driving distance for harbour views, shops and links to the wider Cornish coast. After a busy day of adventuring, return to the property in the evening, pour a glass of wine, and head out onto the shared terrace at the front of Compass Point to watch the sun set over St Ives. With so much to discover nearby, Seaside Retreat makes a splendid base for exploring this much-loved corner of Cornwall.
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 (paddle board) 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 away and is home to activities for all the family, including golf and a wildlife sanctuary. The Godrevy Nature Reserve and Penwith Heritage Coast are also within easy reach from Carbis Bay, providing outdoor 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.
