A spectacular dwelling in a sought-after location overlooking the picturesque Carbis Bay Beach, this holiday home is fabulous for family gatherings or a getaway with friends. It’s just 2 miles from the heart of St Ives, a town known for its vibrant arts scene and seaside views. Whether you’re a beach lover or culture enthusiast, there’s oodles of stuff to do nearby, whether you’re lounging on the beach (500 metres) or wandering around galleries like the Tate St Ives (2.5 miles).

This glorious home has a reverse-level layout so you can make the most of the breathtaking views during your stay. The furniture and fittings are all of an exceptional quality reminiscent of a swanky hotel. On the top floor, the modern kitchen is filled with natural light.

When it’s time to retire for the night, head to the lower ground floor which is home to three stylish bedrooms: an en-suite super-king room with its own terrace, plus two king-size zip-and-link rooms that can be made into twins on request. Don’t forget to make the most of the tiered patio garden, which has a sunny deck for al fresco dining and a hot tub for stargazing at night. Guests will also find private parking for three cars.

A beautiful house with the perfect location. Comfortable beds and fantastic hot tub with views of the sea. Such a beautiful beach with an easy walk. Beautiful views wherever you are in the house. Clean and stylish with lots of areas for a large group to hang out. Most amenities you could need but a few minor things missing so I would check beforeRead more your visit to ensure you have all that you need as it is not easy to contact owners while you are there. Good WiFi but no phone signal there. Lots of parking and a lovely walk to St Ives. We had a great time in this beautiful house. Hide

The house was perfectly equipped for our stay. Although we didnt do much cookingaside from warming our dogs food, the kitchen appeared to have everything you might need. One of our top priorities is a good nights sleep, and we werent disappointed, the bed was extremely comfortable, and the living room sofas were just as inviting for relaxing. The oRead moreutdoor seating area was a real highlight, ideal for both dining and unwinding while enjoying stunning ocean views. In fact, the views were incredible throughout and you could see the ocean from every room in the house. The location couldnt have been better, perched above Carbis Bay with a short, scenic walk down to the beach and the excellent restaurants at the Carbis Bay Hotel. For those who enjoy walking, St Ives is also within easy reach. Overall, everything about this house was exceptional, and we would absolutely return. Hide

The most wonderful house with spectacular views. Easy to reach the beach and the hot tub was a great addition. Walking distance to fabulous eating places on the beach and a nice walk into St Ives.

Ideal family getaway, Outstanding views from nearly all rooms in the house. Beautifully furnished and lacking nothing in the equipment stakes. Only possible drawback is the number of stairs/steps inside the property and in the garden for those with limited mobility.
