About this property

This aptly named apartment is so close to the sea you can hear the waves lapping on the beautiful beach below just by opening the French doors to the sitting area and master bedroom. Set overlooking the beautiful Blue Flag awarded beach, Carbis Bay, with views of St Ives it is ideal for a relaxing escape to the coast. Fully equipped and with a luxurious interior, sleeping four, it’s perfect for a couple or small family. The spacious open plan living area benefits from an amazing panoramic sea view. You may even see seals or dolphins playing in the bay. Two comfortable two seat sofas are perfectly positioned for enjoying the views or the fantastic entertainment including Sky Q + HD and Netflix. Still benefitting from the sea views the dining area is set at the rear of the open plan living area. The seaside colour scheme continues in this area with a maple dining table and six matching blue upholstered chairs. Gaining the lovely afternoon sun. the contemporary kitchen at Waves is incredibly spacious and looks to the rear of the property. The master sea view en-suite bedroom features a luxurious king size bed. Lie back, open the double French doors and relax listening to the sound of the waves lapping against the shore below. The second twin bedroom is situated to the rear of property offering guests a quite night’s sleep, and is conveniently located next to the family bathroom. Accessible via the double French doors from both the living area and master bedroom, enjoy alfresco meals or mid morning coffees on the large sea facing decked terrace. The views are simply out of this world, stretching right across St Ives Bay from The Island in St Ives to the golden sands of Gwithian. Jump on the nearby scenic railway to visit the beautiful fishing village of St Ives or stroll through the communal garden to the beach or access the coastal paths. Once visited we are sure the magic of the waves will keep you returning year after year.

There's nothing quite like a day at the beach in Carbis Bay, just a short drive from St Ives. For an old-fashioned day at the beach, head to the beach's turquoise seas and protected conditions, which give the area an almost subtropical atmosphere. Ocean Sports Centre is located on beach, so if sunbathing isn't your thing, why not rent a kayak or stand-up paddleboard and get out on the ocean instead? Spa days at the beachfront boutique hotel are also a great option, as is a relaxing day on the rooftop terrace where you can sip cocktails while taking in the sea views. Carbis Bay is home to a handful of small businesses and eateries, as well as a fish and chip shop and a railroad spur. Train rides from Carbis Bay to St Ives are among the most scenic in Britain.

  • Paul

    6 remotes for tv usage complicated. Everything else was very good.

  • John Gareth

    Everything was first class. Starting with the very best aspects first, the patio and superb view, very well appointed with good quality throughout, spacious, easy private access to the beach, very secure with easy parking, lovely beach, easy to get to St Ives on foot or by scenic train.

  • Lucy

    Great location and apartment and would 100% stay again. In the most part very clean, however the carpets are full of hair which was sticking to all our socks. The WiFi didn’t loaded and the bottom gate to the beach would be better being a code rather than fob so you don’t have to take keys to the beach.
