    “Property is beautiful decorated and in the great location.”

    Definitely the view is very nice and balcony is a great bonus to enjoy this during the good weather. I liked a secured parking with designated space.

    Definitely the view is very nice and balcony is a great bonus to enjoy this during the good weather. I liked a secured parking with designated space. However, on our arrival we had issue with opening the gate. When I called agency the person on the phone was lovely, and promised that someone from the maintenance team would call. Unfortunately no-one called at all. For a long time we were keep trying to open the gate and other residents were unhappy with it as it was unsuccessful. We tried to input code provided in email. It's turned up that code provided in email was wrong (missing #at the end). After a long time finally asking a neighbour, we managed to open the gate and get in. Overall cleanliness of the property was OK. Unfortunately, most of the cutlery, plates and cups were dirty (some spoons and forks had a food pieces on it). That was not nice at all after you have a long journey and you would like to straight away eat. Dirty cutlery and plates made me more upset when we discovered that there is no washing up liquid (bottle was empty with literally water down one spoon of iquid). Also, there was no soap to wash hands with. So just a few minutes after we got to the flat, we were forced out to get basic shopping. Apart from this we got 2 dishwasher tablets and 2 laundry capsules. We travel often, also not first time we were renting from Carbis Bay, but that was first time that so many things were unclean and supplies were very little. We appreciated a little welcome chocolate, coffee, tea, and milk - thank you for those. Perhaps, if those little things would be right from beginning, I would happily rent this property again, but maintenance and cleanliness are the last thing you should worry about on your arrival.

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.
