The apartment is consistently described as clean and well-presented, with only a single mention of an issue with silverfish, suggesting a generally high standard of cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for its stunning views and proximity to Carbis Bay and St. Ives, with easy access to the train station. The steep hill is noted but does not detract significantly from the overall positive feedback.
Comfort is generally well-received, with comfortable beds and a homely feel. However, several guests mention the sofas being uncomfortable, particularly for older guests, which slightly lowers the score.
Facilities are appreciated, but there are several mentions of minor maintenance issues such as door latches, a noisy boiler, and a non-functional telescope. Internet connectivity issues and the need for clearer instructions for Apple TV are also noted.
While guests mention a lovely welcome pack and a take-home tote bag, there are not enough reviews referencing these to guarantee their provision for every stay. Therefore, a score cannot be provided.
Mid Air is an immaculate penthouse apartment overlooking the stunning Carbis Bay along the Cornish coast. Live the highlife from Mid Air, boasting a superb, elevated position with unbeatable far-reaching sea views and a contemporary interior, making this a magnificent escape for families or two couples. Once inside, a welcoming hallway leads you into the open plan living space, inviting friends and family to spend the happiest of their holiday days. Boasting Ralph Lauren fabrics, French antique furniture and a fresh white backdrop against the captivating blue sea views, this is a magnificent spot to unwind each evening. Vast, over-sized sofas are a welcome indulgence after a long day rambling the coast, or enjoy some quiet time while the rest of the group hits the beach. The kitchen has been thoughtfully kitted out with all you could need for home-cooking, and the balcony provides an idyllic setting for alfresco dining, backed by the marvellous view across the waters of the Cornish coast. Retire to the haven of the bedrooms, where quality mattresses are adorned in luxury linens and a bathroom offers a tranquil spot for a good old soak. From your front door, the beautiful west coast of Cornwall is just waiting to be explored; meander down to Carbis Bay Beach where you can top up your tan on the golden sands, while the little ones safely splash in the crystal clear waters. Carbis Bay is filled with a wealth of shops, pubs, restaurants and seaside amenities, providing plenty of options when you don’t fancy cooking, while there is also a direct train to the beauty of St Ives.

Join the South West Coast Path and marvel at the beautiful landscapes over to rugged cliffs near St Ives, Hellesveor Cliff and Carn Naun Point, whilst the fascinating landmarks of Marazion with St Michael’s Mount and Penzance are worth checking out. Mid Air is a truly remarkable base to enjoy Cornwall’s beach life, with so much more to explore right on the doorstep.

Loved the take home tote bag too! Liquid for the washing machine would have been helpful and the gate codes in the arrival instructions were incorrect. Otherwise a lovely stay thank you.

Itâs a perfect location and the apartment is lovely with stunning views. Thank you for the apple juice and cookies. The only point I would make is I could not find the code to the bin cupboard so we had to ask another guest. I would highly recommend Mid Air and would certainly book again if we were in the area again.
