About this property
Sea Holly is an inviting, single-storey annexe that is conveniently located in the seaside community of Carbis Bay, Cornwall. With an enclosed private garden, an open-concept living area, and an allocated parking place, Sea Holly is a fantastic base for a romantic getaway for two or as a base to hit the coastline to catch some waves down at Hawkes Point or Porthmeor to name two popular surf spots; it is also located near a hub of amenities, activities, and the shoreline, making it an ideal abode for touring the region. Park up in the designated parking space, before reaching the front garden, which provides the ideal location to unwind and take in your Cornish surroundings. Venture inside to enter the living area, which has a well-equipped kitchen, a dining area for two, a plush sofa, and a Smart TV with Sky Q set on the wall for entertainment; use this space to prepare meals, dine, and spend quality time with your loved one. If it's a nice day, make sure to set the patio table and start the barbecue to dine alfresco, before finishing your evening routine in the shower room. Climb into the sumptuous king-size bed, surrounded by plenty of storage and homely furnishings, before waking up to explore Carbis Bay and its attractions. If you want to explore the county, the local railway station is close by, whilst Carbis Bay Beach and Hayle Beach are right outside your door, where you can easily reach the coastal trail as well. Before arriving in St. Ives, where you may stroll along Porthgwidden Beach, explore the Tate St. Ives, or learn about Penwith Gallery, stock up on the necessities at a nearby convenience shop or eat along the shore. Travelling south, make sure to stop at Penzance Harbour, which is a busy place where you can people watch before dining at The Boatshed, featuring wonderful local products. Newlyn Tolcarne Beach and the nearby Newlyn Art Gallery are well worth a visit. Reach Godrevy Point or take a stroll through Tehidy Country Park to take in the Cornish countryside before arriving at Basset's Cove's stunning and quiet setting. Make memories at Sea Holly.
The beachfront community of Carbis Bay, which is only a short drive from famous St. Ives, is well-known for its stunning stretch of fine, white sand. The beach feels almost subtropical with its turquoise seas and protected surroundings, making it the ideal location for a traditional day by the sea. If sunbathing is not really your thing, why not rent a kayak or stand-up paddleboard (SUP) and venture out on the water instead? The Ocean Sports Centre is located on the beach. Or why not treat yourself to a spa day at the charming hotel that has a gorgeous patio where you can sip cocktails while enjoying the Cornish sunlight and views out onto the beach? Together with a takeout serving fish and chips and a railway branch line, Carbis Bay features a limited selection of neighbourhood stores and eateries.

Really hope to return. As previous guests mention, train service is good, as is The Badger in Lelant.
