About this property

Set overlooking the stunning azure waters of Carbis Bay Beach you understand why the owners of this gorgeous apartment named it after their memories of Halfway Tree in Jamaica. St Ives is in Cornwall but step onto the balcony and wow at the colours of St Ives Bay and you could be forgiven for thinking you’re in the Caribbean. Sleeping four with Sea views from the kitchen, master bedroom and living area, Halfway Tree is ideal for a small family or couple. Open out the French doors onto your seaward facing balcony and allow the fresh sea air to flow in to the bright and airy living space. Relax on one of the two comfortable tan leather sofas, which are perfectly positioned for enjoying the sea views or entertainment including Sky Sports & Variety package. The dining area is located within the spacious living area with an open archway into the rear kitchen, so all areas still enjoy the wonderful sea views. An oak table with six matching chairs are placed next to the archway so you can socialise with the chef. The contemporary hi spec rear kitchen still benefits from the magnificent Cornish vista through the feature archway. The spacious sea view, master en-suite bedroom boasts amazing panoramic sea views via the double French doors which open to a Juliette balcony. You will also find a separate patio door which opens out onto the main balcony. A comfortable king size bed is beautifully dressed to lie back and listen to the sound of the waves. The second twin bedroom is located to the rear, this quiet room ensures a peaceful night’s sleep. The seaward facing balcony is accessed from both the living area and master bedroom with views across St Ives Bay, from St Ives to Godrevy Lighthouse. A table and four chairs are provided for guests to dine al fresco or enjoy drinks watching the sun set over St Ives. Stroll to the beach or head towards the coastal path to St Ives through the pretty communal gardens or jump on the nearby train. The scenic railway stops at the beautiful harbour of St Ives and connects you to the rest of stunning Cornwall.

The seaside village of Carbis Bay is renowned for its magnificent stretch of pure white sand, which is located just a short drive from iconic St Ives. The beach feels almost subtropical, with turquoise waves and protected conditions. Rent a kayak or stand-up paddleboard, or why not book a Spa day at the charming hotel that overlooks the beach? Carbis Bay has a few stores and restaurants, as well as a fish and chip takeaway and a train station to explore more of Cornwall.
