Mariners Watch

What a beautiful apartment.

Gorgeous views and a lovely balcony. Absolutely spotlessly clean! Everything you could need for an enjoyable stay with a well equipped kitchen. Would definitely love to return.

We rented Mariners Bay for a week.

Its a well presented, spacious apartment with good facilities and a classy feel to it, on the top left of the apartment building looking from the front and on an elevated location on Headland Road overlooking Carbis Bay. It's obvious that the owners have paid a lot of attention to detail to ensure comfort. The view from the balcony is stunning and you could spend all day up there. The apartments are situated a stones throw from the train station which connect to St Ives and Hale, 4-5 mins from the beach and is also right above the coastal path, so logisitcs are a breeze with some great walks right out of the door. My only criticism is that the balcony shares a low gate with the apartment to its right. This limits the appeal of the balcony and does compromise privacy. Its something the owners should prioritise. If its there for fire safety reasons, then perhpas they can consider installing a taller gate. Just a thought, but otherwise an absolutely brilliant stay and highly recommended.

Really enjoyed our stay the apartment was spotlessly clean.

Bed linen was lovely and the towels are nice quality. Was so nice to have a tea/coffee when we arrived after a long journey! My son was chuffed with the chocolate in the fridge! We will return and probably take the smaller car only because the parking space is tight for a big car. Sea view is lovely! Would have appreciated more toilet roll and possibly a cotton sheet under the duvet so when got too hot can throw duvet off.

The apartment was very comfortable and spotlessly clean, everything we needed (and more) was there.

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

We loved the property, the only issue was the noisy water pump, we have this at home, but it only drives the shower.

In the apartment it is linked to all cold water operations, so flushing the toilet at night triggers the pump, ideally this would be a normal pressure fill.

Lovely property with a fantastic view and close to public transport.

Apartment was well equipped with all I needed and a comfortable bed, cooking facilities etc. I had breakfast and tea on the balcony most days. I noticed a few thoughtful touches like chocolate buttons and practical things like a spare umbrella and walking poles in case needed for the Cornish coastline. I arrived by train and was able to see the property from the station car park which was helpful with my luggage. Train to St Ives takes 4 mins and goes every half hour and even if you have a car much better than driving on the narrow streets. Top tip is to cross the car park when you get to St Ives and follow the route above the beach to the harbour to cut out a hill. Back in Carbis Bay there is a regular bus service all over Cornwall from main road about 8 mins walk from the apartment. Note that the whole St Ives and Carbis Bay area is built on a steep hill but the access to the apartment up some covered steps compares favourably with many in the area. I advance booked a shopping delivery from Tesco and the delivery man kindly carried it to the apartment for me so I was all set for the week.

It’s is a brilliant little penthouse, the views were stunning.

We had a comfortable stay. Everything was very clean and well presented. We look forward to coming back and will definitely be telling our friends and family about it.

Lovely apartment in a great location spotlessly clean and very well equipped couldn’t have wished for anything better would highly recommend

Lovely apartment, great position and views.

Well equipped... Couple of things that would have been good to know ... Parking space is very tight for a larger car, between the angle, low wall and tap it was too tight for my car ( didn't risk it ) - a VW Touareg. Luckily as it was out of season, i managed to park on the road outside Karenza court. I'm coming back in July with my daughter in law - we'll come in her car !! Wish i'd known the hot water is on the immersion, not on a timer. After first tepid shower i investigated and realised situation. Would have been nice to know !! I was travelling alone this time, so only affected me. Wouldn't have been good if there were more of us.

Great views of the Celtic Sea and very spacious and comfortable it felt like a home away from home.

Will definitely be coming back again.
