What our customers say about their holidays

• Noah - Verified booking

  We booked our stay to recuperate after spending months caring for my mother while she was dying and agreed that Carbis Bay was the perfect spot for getting away from it all after she passed away.

  The apartment was just what we needed and we loved being a stone's throw from the footpath down to the beach while also having the fantastic view from the apartment, whether it was sunny or raining. It was smaller than we expected based on the photos but adequate space for our needs and the facilities were quite mind-blowing. I especially loved the hot chocolate maker! The only thing that slightly spoiled it was the attitude of the people who arrived to clean as we were leaving. We made a big effort to leave it looking perfect for you and as a result it might have been as late as 10:02 by the time we were ready to lock the door behind us. I understand checkout is 10:00 but 2 minutes really isn't so much that they should have been surly and unpleasant with us, particularly when all the locals we had met up to that point were laid back and friendly. It was a pity to leave that taste in our mouths at the end of what was otherwise a beautiful holiday.

  Thank you so much forletting us holiday in your beautiful beachy home.

  It truly is a piece of heaven and we have had a wonderfully relaxing and much-needed break. This really would be my dream home. The decor and attention to detail and super-high standard are beyond anything we could have hoped for. I wasn't sure how well equipped the kitchen would be so brought a few things from home, but I needn't have worried as you provided everything we would need and more! Your test very much mirrors my own and it has felt like a home from home minus the stunning views, a beach on the doorstep and a handy shuttle train to St Ives. We were lucky with the weather until the last day so went home rested and little sunburnt! We had a couple of days on the beach shell-seeking and kayaking and a few trips to St Ives via the coastal path and some hills that felt like the north face got the tiger! A beautiful place you must love. We will be back again for sure.

  The studio location was amazing with the most amazing view, even if they were interrupted on our first morning by the window cleaner. The lay out of the apartment is somewhat different, with the living accommodation and sleeping accommodation divided by a shared hallway with the upstairs apartment. We did unfortunately find this noisy when the guests with young children staying above us were leaving early in the morning. It was equipped adequately, right down to salt and vinegar and washing up liquid. Car parking was a little bit of an issue, with the closest car park getting full very quickly, if you have a vehicle bigger than an SUV I wouldn’t recommend trying the island car park (closest to the property). Slap bang in the middle of St Ives harbor with plenty of food and drink options. We had a lovely stay and enjoyed the window seat views on a daily basis.

  The property is lovely, very well looked after and furnished beautifully. The service has been amazing with constant updates and reminders with very clear instructions. The folder in the flat is full of useful information. TV had lots of channels to watch. Parking is very difficult, with limited spaces I'd recommend reversing down of you can, you can also book car parking close by through the council website. Dogs are only allowed on the beach between 6pm and 10am (fine of £80-£1000). Beach is very close by, be prepared to walk up a steep incline (if you have disabled or pish chairs etc). Driving around St Ives is very busy, if you can I'd recommend using a taxi service(I used A1 taxis, downloaded their app) the train station and bus stops are also very close by.

  Thank you for our beautiful getaway.

  It has been so lovely to just get away from everything and be able to wake up with the biggest smiles whilst looking over the gorgeous view. Your apartment is honestly such a dream! It's homely, modern, classy and so luxurious. The finishing touches make it so special and every element of this place is so carefully thought out. It is so nice to see all the little beautiful details which present your love for the sea and how you have implemented little aspects of your personality. You have a spectacular flare for interior design. We are outrageously grateful for how incredible our stay has been thanks to you. We are dreading going back to reality but this has been the best escape we could have asked for. We would recommend to anyone and everyone.
