  "I stayed here May 2021 and upon entry to the property was blown away by how lovely it was laid out.

  The kitchen is kitted out with the latest vintage Smeg appliances and I must give 5 stars to the coffee machine alone. Blinds, lights sounds all centrally controlled by Amazon Alexa and Ipad was very impressive. The view out of the sitting room window is something else and the owner has clearly thought of everything as a pair of binoculars is available to view the lighthouse and boats active in the bay. Both TV's in the property are exceptional and linked up to Sky and Netflix. And the IPAD has Spotify installed and is linked via Airplay to the superb Denon sound system which can be directed to any room in the property. I had a lovely bath while listening to some Nightwish and Grieg. I haven't even mentioned the quality of the sitting and sleeping furniture. The sofa is very comfy and the bed is like a blanket of clouds, so soft and luxurious.This is by FAR the best property I've stayed in and would not hesitate in re-booking here again.Hats of the the owner, they have clearly thought a lot about the look and feel of this property. You can tell a lot of love and dedication have gone into it..Well played! (If there were 6 stars I would give them!!)"Mark Wallace

  We had a fantastic week in Ocean Blue definitely had the WOW factor as soon as you opened the door.

  The views from the sitting room across to the sea and beyond were lovely especially with the double doors open. It had everything you could think of to suit your needs and more besides. The Dyson air conditioning units in the bedroom and sitting room were a blessing as they were programmed to come on automatically when the apartment got too hot and cooled it down in no time.The blinds in all the rooms were operated by the touch of a button, lights came on when you walked into the hall and bathroom. It was very clean and tastefully decorated. We felt very comfortable staying here and didn’t want to come home.The bus stopped right outside so we didn’t have to use the car as they ran very frequently. The train station was about a 5 minute walk. There is a supermarket and fish and chip shop just down the road. The fish and chips were lovely . The owners John and Maggie text the day before we arrived and the day before we went home to wish us safe journeys and if there was anything needed to get in touch. We have already booked again for next year and can’t wait to return.

  We had a wonderful stay at Ocean Blue.

  What a beautifully modern and tastefully decorated flat, spotlessly clean and fragrant. Everything has been thought of, from the convenient high tech (with Alexa controlling the lights,etc) to the high spec equipment such as the Dyson fan and hairdryer. The view from the living room out onto the bay is beautiful. The flat's position on the main road is so convenient with the bus stop right outside - frequent daily buses to St Ives meant we could largely forget about the car which was safely parked for the week in the allocated bay within the front courtyard. The Gannet Inn, also just across the road, is also very convenient and provided lovely meals in a comfortable environment. Beautiful Carbis Bay beach is a short walk down a very steep hill - allow more time to walk back up - it's really quite a climb! Thank you to John and Maggie for their kind messages just before our arrival and departure. Overall an excellent holiday for myself and my husband on our first visit to Cornwall. We really look forward to returning soon!

  "Ultramarine was fantastic!

  One of the nicest places we've ever stayed in, the apartment itself was gorgeous and the ipad was a lovely touch. The kitchen was extremely well stocked with everything you could wish for and the rest of the accommodation was beautifully furnished.The location of the apartment was superb also. 2 mins walk from the train station and 2 mins walk from the beach, plus the balcony overlooked the beach was was amazing. Waking up the the sound of the waves every morning was idyllic. We didn't go on many walks but we did walk from the apartment to St Ives once. I would strongly recommend this (or at least getting the train), as driving in the centre of St Ives is difficult even at the quietest of times. We went for a few meals in St Ives and although we enjoyed each and every one, we particularly enjoyed The Loft., The Hub and Blas Burgerworks." V. Mohring

  "We enjoyed very much the apartment Ultramarine, we found it very very clean and tidy and furnished in a high spec fashion.

  We always walk into St Ives usually via the coastal path and occasionally along the road when visiting St Ives at night when there are no trains. We also often walk along the coastal path to Porth Kidney ( Hayle Towans) beach and love to do this when the tide is out also and we can walk this way along the beach. We had one trip out which was to Newlyn as I wanted to find a gallery there, we had a walk around and bought some locally caught Turbot there which was delicious. We dined at the Seafood restaurant on our first night out and had a splendid meal there also at the Loft on our second night. The view and everything else was great from this apartment and we felt quite at home whilst staying there." S. Richards
