Modern Apartment in Carbis Bay Complex
Small, modern, bright and fully equipped apartment some three hundred metres from the beach. We took the apartment for a week at the very start of the season and found it to be an excellent base from which to visit the St. Ives area of Cornwall. The apartment was very clean, had wi-fi, a smart tv, washing machine, dishwasher and (pod) coffee machine. During our stay we communicated with both the owner and the lady who manages the property and found both to be polite, understanding and extremely helpful.

Perfect Beach Getaway
Lovely clean and convenient apartment withing walking distance of Carbis Bay. Tesco's is a 5 min drive away and there's a nice walk to St Ives that's much easier than finding parking if you want a day walking round the harbour. The apartment is nice and xlean

Week in cornwall
Location to Carbis bay beach superb and with rail service to St ives 200 yards away fantastic access to town with no parking problems. Apartment ideal for 3-4 adults and Lucy was timely in all comms. Early check out for COVID was not great so we left early pm a day early and spent the afternoon in North Cornwall so not a problem for us.

A beautiful restful place to stay
We enjoyed our week here. The flat was modern and comfortable with everything we needed. Lucy was very helpful and friendly. We found the little branch line train very useful and rarely took the car although we visited many local places. The only slight reservations were that we understood all flats had a view across the sea - ours was in the second row back. The on line photo was unclear. Secondly there was nothing local - no cafe, no shop, nothing within a 20 minute uphill walk. So it was supermarket shopping :( This aside we would thoroughly recommend Compass Point.

Great base for exploring west Cornwall
Perfect for what we needed for a relaxing week. Very comfortable, clean and close to Carbis Bay beach. Well equipped kitchen for when we wanted to eat in. We met Lucy when we arrived and she was very welcoming and helpful with ideas of where to visit. St Ives is close by and quite walkable along the coast path or you can take the train (3 mins) for £1! Location is great for exploring much of west Cornwall with many stunning beaches, coves and coastal walks all within about 40 mins drive.

Good for the Soul
Excellent location overlooking the breathtaking views of Carbis Bay. Well equipped apartment with all you need to make your stay very comfortable, fluffy white towels and bed linen provided as well as household items, washing up liquid etc. Good bed and excellent shower. Close to railway that's one stop away to St Ives for £1 per adult or a picturesque 20 minute walk. Great cliff walk to Porthkidney beach on your doorstep. Close by is the Carbus Bay Hotel for fab food and wine, worth the hilly walk back home! I came home recharged and rested.

Bay Retreat Carbis Bay
Lovely location. Very easy access to St Ives on the train, easy access to beach plus great coastal walks. Take the boat trip to the Scillies. We saw dolphins! Apartment clean, well appointed, however my only very slight grumble is that there is not really enough seating in the lounge area for 4 people and another chair/small sofa would help. Otherwise lovely and host is really helpful.

Perfect for our family needs
Everything was perfect with the apartment, it really was like from home to home. Every little detail had been taken care of. The location was perfect for us , a walk away from the uncrowded beach. We were also able to visit other areas of Cornwall too. Very good value for money. We will definitely book with Homeaway again and have already recommended to friends and family. This is the firat time we booked an apartment like this. Lucy was the perfect host. There were no problems and all the information we required was provided by Lucy beforehand in a clear concise manner. From booking and staying right through to leaving the apartment was very well organised. Thank you so much Lucy and Homeaway. We can't wait to visit again!
