About this property

If you desire a holiday on the Cornish coast with sea views to relax and inspire you then Golden Heights will delight. This luxury first floor apartment enjoys panoramic views of one of Cornwall’s most beautiful bays from open plan kitchen, diner & sitting room. A wall of bay windows in the sitting area frame this picture postcard view across Carbis Bay beach to St Ives and across to the infamous Godrevy Lighthouse, as featured in ‘The Lighthouse No More’ by Virginia Woolf. Its clever open plan design means whether you’re dining, cooking or relaxing you’ll be able to enjoy the view. Sleeping four in two comfortable bedrooms and close to the beach and dramatic cliff path walks, its ideal for a family holiday or romantic retreat. Take a window seat, stretching the width of the room, in the sitting area and enjoy spotting dolphins playing in the surf below. Alternatively relax on the plush L shaped sofa, seating five, watching the ever changing colours of the ocean or enjoying the entertainment on the Ultra HD 4K Smart TV with Netflix. The dining area is perfectly positioned within the open plan living & kitchen area, boasting amazing coastal views. A grand wooden dining table with five chic leather grey chairs let you dine in style. A well-appointed fully fitted kitchen offers everything you require and more.

The seaside village of Carbis Bay has a magnificent stretch of pure white sand, which is only a short drive from iconic St Ives.

    The view is amazing! The beach is a few minutes walk away and St.Ives is a 4 minutes train journey away (Carbis Bay train Station is very close). Well worth it.
