This first-floor two-bedroom apartment sits a short walk from Carbis Bay beach in west Cornwall, a sun-soaked base for couples or small families drawn to white sand, clear water and gently lapping waves. Carbis Bay is a haven of calm on the coast – sheltered and largely flat, making it perfect for swimming. From the balcony, views stretch out over the bay towards Gwithian and Godrevy Lighthouse.
Inside, the open plan living, kitchen and dining area opens through patio doors onto a private balcony with sea views. The living space has two sofas, a TV with Freeview and Wi-Fi, while a wooden dining table seats four. The kitchen is fully equipped and includes a washer/dryer. The master bedroom has a double bed and sea views through a Velux window, and the second bedroom has two single beds. A family bathroom with a shower over the bath completes the interior. Outside, the private balcony is furnished with rattan chairs, a two-seater sofa and a table. A shared garden filled with flowers and fauna surrounds the property, with a patio area for al fresco dining. Parking is available for one car.
A pretty walk down the hill brings you to Carbis Bay Beach, and the coast path connects you to St Ives in around half an hour, where art galleries, independent shops and eateries line the streets. Alternatively, hop on the train for a 5-minute ride along the shore with panoramic views. Porthkidney Beach is 1.5 miles away, and Porthgwidden Beach is 2 miles, with Hawkes Point, Porthminster Beach, St Ives Harbour and Porthmeor Beach all within easy reach too. A 4-mile drive takes you to Hayle, with its yawning estuary and wildlife.
