“Hi. The apartment was very spacious with lots of extras, the living space and bedrooms were fine.”

Parking good. Unfortunately the people staying above were very noisy and we had to put up with this nearly every night (children screaming and running around). The bathroom and ensuite had mould growing on the ceilings. We had the extractors on for both, but they hardly got rid of the hot air from the showers which made it feel more like a sauna. We mentioned this in a phonecall to you. You could also see the light fittings in these rooms had work done and not been completed. In all we felt short changed, as I'd never allow my house to end up in this state. If required, I can send you some pictures for proof. Regards Mark Pearson.

“This property is really lovely and a great base for Carbis Bay and St Ives as well as travelling to other Cornish Towns/areas.”

Sea Blue was clean and had everything we would need and w would definitely stay again but needs some attention to detail in places..... The issues which we felt would have enhanced our stay/departure are: Too much sticky spray on table/mats etc. - needs a wash with hot soapy water to remove each time then spray.....not constant spray on spray...... Repair of the broken blinds to the lounge balcony door Blinds required in the main bedroom as have to keep curtains closed all of the time due to car park outside window Bedroom light in main bedroom too low have to leave door open to hall and ensuite to get enough light Broken bedside lamp in main bedroom Bedroom TV's did not work - not main issue for us but again needs checking before arrivals The instructions need revising.... 1. Main TV in Lounge - incorrect instructions given - Sky is on HDM1 not 2 2. No Envelope in kitchen for keys on departure ( time spent looking!!) Nothing about recycling for our rubbish which was disappointing Would have been courteous to have informed us that the decorators were due to paint in Hallways for 3 days of our stay And most disappointing was that you are missing out on visitor feedback by leaving a visitors book that has been full for over 2 years!! can't cost that much to replace?

“The property is now getting a little tired.”

Not quite the luxury apartment as stated. The pictures make it look much better, The towel rail in the on suite doesn’t work and the on suite bathroom would be much better with a shelf or something for toiletries and also something in the shower. The bath in the main bathroom would benefit from a rail or handle to assist getting out. All the pillows are very hard and uncomfortable. The sofa in the lounge could do with cleaning and the sky doesn’t work properly, out of sync? The tables are sticky but this could be due to the sanitizer. All that said, it was spacious and reasonably equipped. The location is good with easy access off the main road.

- Margaret, September 2021

Dear Margaret, Thank you for taking the time to submit your feedback. When we receive information regarding issues in our properties, we also endeavor to rectify as soon as possible. Please be assured we have passed the points you have raised across to the housekeeper and our property team, we will then follow up accordingly. We look forward to inviting you back in the near future. Kind Regards, Owner Relations Team, Carbis Bay Holidays Property Owner

“Had a lovely stay at sea bleu.”

It’s a lovely well equipped apartment. The only thing missing was a full length mirror for our 18 year old daughter. A slight gripe was that we asked to change accommodation after we’d booked but was advised that we would lose our money unless someone else booked the apartment.

“The apartment was absolutely lovely and we had a fantastic week.”

We love Carbis Bay Holidays and after booking with them for several years have always had exceptional quality accommodation and value for money. I forgot to leave a note to say that the towel rail in the en-suite doesn’t come on. Looking at holidays for next year and absolutely disgusted at the shocking price increase - I assume it is because Skyes Holidays have taken over and are very greedy - we have another week booked in August this year which is costing us £779. The same property for the same week next year is £1,953. How can an increase of £1,174 be justified!! You are just making it impossible for regular return customers to book for next year. Such a shame as families like us will never be able to afford to visit our favourite Carbis Bay now!! ☹️

“"Sea Bleu is a super apartment, lovely and clean in a peaceful area with walking access to Carbis Bay.”

The apartment is spacious with great amenities including a dishwasher and utility room. We had a wonderful week, lots of local information provided and easy travelling distance to all of Cornwall's gems. We travelled to St Ives on the train & Lands End by car is only 20mins. Will definitely return. Thanks to the Carbis Bay holiday team - we were well looked after!"

“We have yet again had a lovely stay in our Cornwall home that we brought 10 years ago.”

We have loved each stay here – divine fish and chips on the beach, late night walks through the ocean breeze. This home has never failed to give us unforgettable memories. Now after 10 sweet years we must bid our farewell to our apartment here in St Ives. We will cherish our special memories forever and hope to make more when we return to Cornwall.

“Lovely apartment – the housekeeper Alison was fabulous and fixed a few niggles straight away.”

Carbis Bay is beautiful even though the weather wasn’t as good as hoped we still had a wonderful week. Only comment – thinner duvets and softer pillows please! Hope to book another stay with Carbis Bay Holidays again. Thank you

“Very nice comfortable apartment.”

Well-appointed and great kitchen particularly impressed with the Tassimo. St Michaels Mount is great on a nice day but beware of The Eden Project almost £60 for 2 adults and it only lasted just over an hour. Unless your really into plants, don’t waste your money or the hour drive.

“"Well, what can I say about our fantastic apartment at The Spinnakers complex?”

It was absolutely fabulous with stunning sea views from 5 of our windows !! Looking out to Godrevy and its lighthouse, it really was heaven. Sea Bleu was very spacious and spotlessly clean, we just could not fault it. It was a complete surprise to receive all the "goodies"- Cornish Apple Juice, chocolate buttons, a colourful beachbag, cute bucket/spade for my great-niece, but most of all we truly enjoyed the lovely Cream Tea waiting for us in the fridge !! All of these extra touches go towards making a holiday more memorable, thank you so much. The accommodation was spacious and so comfortable, we all slept like logs !! Having our own outside space as well was a bonus. Morning coffee looking out to Godrevy - glorious !!" Susan Threlfall

“"We had a wonderful holidayat Sea Bleu, standard of accommodation were absolutely superb.”

It was so lovely and clean and had everything we needed and had a lovely welcome of a cornish cream tea on arrival! Casa Romano in the Atlantic hotel was really good great with the kids great food and wine! Recommend to book but they were very accommodating and fitted us in an added bonus that it is in walking distance. Ocean Grill in St Ives also great food and thoroughly enjoyable." D. Bott

“"We have stayed in many places around the world as a couple from Meeru Island in the Maldives to the penthouse apartment in Whitby so i can say with a great deal of confidence that our first family holiday with our son Archie who is a week away from turning one the apartment, location, service provided was exceptional.”

Kerry very kindly allowed us in a touch early which helped us a great deal and when called upon regards a lamp that was broken previously she dealt with it without question and immediately arranged for it to be collected. The apartment was fully kitted and not only met our expectations but exceeded them. The only thing if i were to complain is that we had to leave. Will definitely be staying at this location when we visit Carbis Bay next year. And sadly wont be telling anyone as we want to keep it our little secret." Luke Frost

“"A wonderful holiday at Sea Bleu it was all we wanted and more ( helped by the good weather ), the property was probably the best we have stayed in not just size, space and facilities but a really good base location.”

We have a now rather tall disabled son so somewhere with space and accessible facilities is a real must, Sea Bleu really fits the bill, we would certainly recommend the apartment to other disabled guests. Marazion and Portreath have excellent flat accessible beaches with convenient car parks ). A couple of recommendations for places to eat are: Casa Romana, lovely food but limited access; The Lamb and Flag, fantastic food but you have to wait but we'll worth it; The Hub, great burgers." D.

“"We had a great time at Sea Bleu, it had everything we needed and the kids loved it (especially the jacuzzi bath).”

We walked along the cliff path very scenic and leads down to Porthkidney and Lelant Saltings. We also walked from Lands End to Sennan Cove which was fantastic and they do great coffee and hot chocolate at the beach restaurant there. The local fish and chip shop in Carbis Bay is already in the book and they were good.We also went to Alfresco in St. Ives." S. Magennis

About the location

CARBIS BAY

St Ives 2 miles ; Hayle 3.5 miles ; Penzance 8.5 miles

Just a short drive from iconic St Ives, the seaside village of Carbis Bay is best-known for its beautiful stretch of pure white sand. With turquoise waters and sheltered conditions, the beach feels almost subtropical and is the perfect spot for a good old-fashioned day by the sea. The beach is also home to the Ocean Sports Centre, so if sunbathing is not really your thing, why not hire a kayak or SUP and get out on the water instead. Or why not treat yourself to a Spa day at the delightful hotel which overlooks the beach and has a fabulous terrace where cocktails can be enjoyed in the Cornish sunshine? Carbis Bay has a small range of local shops and restaurants as well as a fish & chip takeaway and railway branch line. The train journey from Carbis Bay into St Ives is perhaps one of the most beautiful in the country; St Ives additionally makes for a great day out, with plenty of galleries to explore. The quayside town of Hayle also isn't far and is home to activities for the all the family, including a golf and a wildlife sanctuary. The Godrevy Nature Reserve and Penwith Heritage Coast are also within easy reach from Carbis Bay, providing outdoors and watersports plans with even more activities to partake in, including coasteering and birdwatching. Carbis Bay is truly a wonderful holiday location for those wanting to experience Cornwall's breathtaking coastline.

There is a Good Housekeeping Bond of £100 for this property.
