Enjoying beautiful sea views and resting within easy reach of Cornwall's finest beaches, Under the Moon is an ideal dwelling for a family of four's Cornish break. The apartment is accompanied by a handy allocated parking space, where you can leave your car before venturing into the apartment complex. After climbing the stairs from the first-floor foyer, you will come across this fabulous abode, where an open-plan living space greets you. The space hosts a sitting area for you to unwind in, as you enjoy a show on the Apple TV and its accompanying speakers; on the other side of the space are a couple of armchairs, where you can relish a quite sit-down with a book in front of those views. Progress through the room to find the amply equipped kitchen, a contemporary space hosting a wealth of appliances, from an integrate dishwasher and washer/dryer to a coffee machine. When the chef of the group has whipped up a nourishing dinner, you can enjoy it at a number of places, including a large dining table or as an alfresco meal on the balcony, where you can watch the sun set over St Ives Bay. After dinner, freshen up in the fabulous, family bathroom, where a bath with shower over awaits. Enjoy a well-deserved rest in one of two bedrooms, this one being a zip/linked super-king-size that has been decorated with elegance in mind, and the other being a fantastic king-size that enjoys access to an en-suite shower room; the bedrooms not only provide guests with plenty of storage, but with TVs for some extra entertainment. After spending some time in your idyllic base, embark on a leisurely stroll into Carbis Bay’s centre, where eateries and shops await, as well as access to the South West Coastal Path, the beautiful sands of Carbis Bay Beach and a fabulous hotel hosting a great range of facilities, including a spa! Walk or cycle along the South West Coastal Path, where you can stop and take in those views at Porthminster Point, to end up in St Ives, to find the brilliant Barbara Hepworth Museum and the Tate, along with several stunning beaches and the quaint Island, where panoramic views of the sea can be enjoyed at St Ives Head. Hayle is just a short drive away and is home to the popular Paradise Park and JungleBarn, an outdoor swimming pool, golf club and access to the extensive Porthkidney Beach. Those seeking to enjoy more of the outdoors can venture to Godrevy, a National Trust nature reserve, or in the opposite direction to the vast Penwith Heritage Coast, where plenty of fun is waiting to be had at Whitesand Bay. For an unforgettable stay in Cornwall, choose Under the Moon.
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 £250 for this property.
