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.
