Escape to the Cornish coast in this luxurious holiday retreat in Carbis Bay. The property sleeps ten guests across five stylish bedrooms, and is the perfect base for large family gatherings and get-togethers with friends. You’ll be less than 0.5 miles from an idyllic sandy beach and 2.5 miles from the bustling heart of St Ives, with its cobbled streets and quaint shops. In the evenings, enjoy al fresco drinks on the balcony and admire the sea views through the palm trees.

The stylish holiday home is located in a quiet cul-de-sac and has a reverse-level layout, to make the most of its elevated position. Inside, the property is decorated in a contemporary style, with luxurious fixtures and fittings to make your stay feel extra special. On the ground floor is a welcoming lounge with a sumptuous L-shaped sofa to sink into after a day at the beach. Catch up on your favourite programmes on the Smart TV and on a hot day, slide open the doors to the garden. There are four beautifully styled bedrooms on this floor, all with their own en-suite facilities. You’ll also find a refreshing family bathroom on this level. Heading upstairs, discover a bright, open-plan kitchen/diner with an impressive vaulted ceiling and distant sea views. The chic kitchen features glossy units and a central island, and there’s a large dining table with bench-style seating for hosting dinner parties and special occasions. There’s a comfortable children’s area where little ones can chill out, as well as doors opening onto a balcony with outdoor furniture. Rounding off the first floor is a fabulous king-size bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and direct access to the balcony. Outside, the enclosed, sloped garden has a lawn where children can play, along with a spacious, decked area with a picnic table and sun loungers. Private parking is available at the property.

Carbis Bay Beach is a sheltered, sandy beach that’s popular with bathers. Its calm waters also make it a great spot for kayaking and paddleboarding. The South West Coast Path passes through Carbis Bay, and a scenic, 2-mile jaunt brings you to St Ives. In the town, you’ll find a fantastic array on independent shops and eateries, as well as iconic art galleries such as Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden. Nearby day trips include St Michael’s Mount (7.5 miles) and The Minack Theatre (18 miles).

This is a lovely holiday place to stay, though small it is well laid out, and the kitchen is equipped for any eventuality. Best of all the view from the sitting room window over Porthgwidden beach is equal to any of the best views in St Ives.

This property is one of the best we have stayed at in St Ives! The location is perfect for accessing Porthgwidden and Porthmeor beaches and only a few minutes walk to the harbour and Fore Street. Everything we needed was provided, including a really thoughtful welcome pack, dog bowls and doggie treats. There are lovely views of the sea and the ChaRead morepel from the living room.

Lovely cottage, very clean and bright and with beautiful views. So good to have a car parking space right outside the gate. I have stayed in quite a few cottages and apartments in the Downlong area and have to say this is definitely the best. Thoroughly enjoyed the week with the dog and even the weather was mostly kind.

Fantastic week, great location, 2 minutes from the beach. Lovely studio with sea views, parking space is as described, only for a small car. If you are not a competent driver with good reversing skills this area of town is not for you. The sea gulls are a menace all night long, but hey Ho its their town too.

We had a lovely stay at this property. We have stayed in a lot of places in St Ives over the years and agreed that this one was our favourite. Convenient location with a lovely sea view.
