This generously sized apartment benefits from two outside seating areas, on the seaward side of the property there is a lovely private patio area, with a table and four chairs, leading onto a communal garden and with stunning sea views - the perfect place to enjoy a morning cuppa whilst planning the day ahead! At the rear of the apartment, there is a wonderful rear terrace, which is a real sun trap - with a table and four chairs as well as sun loungers - this really is a great place to relax with a good book.
The apartment is just a short stroll from Carbis Bay station, which is ideal for catching the local branch line into St Ives (the train journey takes 3 or 4 mins and costs £1 per adult), and is only a 5-10 minute walk to the beautiful golden sands of the picturesque blue flag Carbis Bay beach (note. the beach is at the bottom of a hill, so after a long busy day it might take a few more minutes to walk back up!). The stunning South West coastal path also makes walking into St Ives (or further afield) a real delight.
Carbis Bay forms part of the wonderful stretch of coastline known as ' St Ives Bay ' arguably one of the most beautiful bays in the world, it's no wonder it was chosen as the backdrop to host the world leaders at the 2021 G7 summit. With its own micro climate, this stunning part of West Cornwall has lots of golden sandy beaches, clear azure seas, lots of sub-tropical plants giving this area a real mediterranean atmoshphere and the special quality of light this area has attracts artists, poets and writers all year round.
Whilst Carbis Bay is a much quieter part of the bay, it is very easy to catch the branch line into the centre of St Ives itself where there is a plethora of galleries, eateries and a great choice of beaches all with a different appeal. Carbis Bay is perfect for those who want to dip in and out of the hustle and bustle of St Ives, whilst enjoying stunning scenery, and the peace and tranquilty Carbis Bay has to offer.
Carbis Bay has a number of high quality eateries, including Adam Handlings Ugly Butterly (Adam was crowned the BBC's 2023 Great British Menu 'Champion of Champion'; the Ugly Butterfly is bang on the beach and a perfect choice for a special celebration - as well as an excellent fish and chip shop and a couple of pubs.
Whilst Sea Spray does have its own parking space, the local branch line does join up with the main line at St Erth and all routes to Penzance, so a car isn't essential at all.
Note : No smoking / no vaping and pets are NOT permitted.

Leave ReviewWell located, beautifully furnished and has a lovely view of the sea & St Ives
By Sarah on 29-Oct-2025We had a lovely break in Carbis Bay. Fay's apartment is great - well located, beautifully furnished, and has a lovely view of the sea and St Ives.
The apartment was brilliant for us
By Alison on 14-Oct-2025The apartment worked brilliantly for us. A very short walk from Carbis Bay station and no more than 10 minutes walk down to the beautiful beach and to Carbis Bay Hotel. As Fay advised it is a steep hill to the apartment (and also very steep walking back from the beach) but so convenient. The accomodation was peaceful, spotlessly clean and comfortably and thoughtfully furnished and decorated. The kitchen was very well equipped. Pretty views from living room patio over garden and St Ives in the distance. A few minutes by train to St Ives but also an attractive walk. Fay was very friendly and welcoming and quick to respond. We would happily stay again.
A "superhost"
By Mary on 28-Sep-2025Fay is a " superhost". She always responded quickly to my queries and was friendly and very helpful. She went the extra mile when giving advice/ assistance. Fay actually remembered that I was celebrating a significant birthday during our stay and left scones, clotted cream, jam, biscuits and tea/ coffee. I have never known such personal, thoughtful service before. Many thanks ! The flat was the best we have stayed in in the area . ( We visit Carbis Bay once a year. ) The property was very clean and very well-equipped, with beautiful views. Beds and sofa very comfortable . Location - perfect, especially as the flat is only a 2min walk from the railway station, making travelling into St Ives very easy. The information about the flat and the surrounding area, which is in a folder in the living room, and included things to do, restaurant recommendations etc is very comprehensive. We felt very much at home from the moment of arrival.
Spotlessly clean, beautiful sea view and parking
By Jill on 02-Sep-2025Spotlessly clean apartment with beautiful sea view and parking right outside. Great communication from Fay and a lovely welcome gesture of scones, cream and jam. She knows how to host! Apartment was much larger than I expected, with stylish furniture. It was like walking into a sparkling John Lewis store with the Denby crockery, white linen, soft towels, and great artwork. Good shower, which makes a difference on holiday. A walk down the hill and we were at the lovely sandy beach with places to eat. We would definitely go back to Carbis Bay and most certainly stay at Fay’s apartment!
Very clean and in a prime location
By Dave on 18-Aug-2025The apartment was very clean and in a prime location for visiting different places. The view was beautiful from the apartment. Fay was a fantastic host before, during and after our break. St Ives was just a short journey away by train from Carbis bay. There were many good restaurants / pubs restaurants in Carbis bay, the one that stood out for us was Becks in Carbis Bay and the Reef and Beef in St Ives. Thank you Dave, Jayne, Hannah & Jan Would highly recommend Thank you Fay
Could not ask for more ....
By Angela on 09-May-2025Could not ask for more. Fay was very easy to communicate with and her condo is perfect. Thank you! Angela (Allen, Texas)
