Beachfront holiday rentals in Carbis Bay

We had a lovely week in Emily & Matt's flat. We liked that you can walk into town but also to Fistral beach & quieter areas. Great views - I enjoyed relaxing, reading in the bay window. I treated myself to swim & breakfast at Headland hotel (special offer).

Wow - what an amazing place to stay! This is probably the most memorable AirBnB I have stayed in so far. You are right on the edge of the seafront and by the harbour, with the double aspect living room enabling you to see both - the sea views are just stunning. Margaret was a really friendly and communicative host, and the parking space is good. I would heartily recommend this as a great place to stay; it is just so special being able to look out and see the sea from bed, and to hear the waves lapping at the shore as you go to sleep or make your cup of tea in the morning.

Before we had checked out, we had reserved for next year. A superb property, in a beautiful, quiet location, but is just 10 minutes walk away from bars and restaurants. 1 minute walk from a beach, next door to an historic ancient church and absolutely idyllic. Highly recommended.

We have just spent a wonderful few days at Andy and Philippa’s apartment in St Ives. It is seconds from Porthmeor beach at the island end, around 7 minutes from the town. The apartment is beautifully and thoughtfully decorated with every mod con you could want for your stay. The apartment was immaculately clean and communication was always super quick and easy. Andy and Philippa went above and beyond to make our stay just perfect, thank you so much!

It was close to the beach, but it was nice that it was quiet. There were a lot of stairs in the house, so it was a little difficult to go up and down with luggage, but there were two bathrooms and it was clean, so it was a satisfying trip! Thanks to you, it was a fun trip.

We stayed here for 4 days of our ‘mini moon’. We wanted to enjoy peace and quiet and an easy trip to the beach. It ticked all those boxes. Porthtowan is a treasure going back to my husbands childhood. The accommodation was so peaceful, clean and comfortable. Dominique was very helpful in sending some recommendations before we arrived which were all well utilised. The walk can be challenging as it is a bit of a climb (only slightly and took around 6 minutes) but completely worth the views and the peaceful feel on top of the cliff. Thank you for having us!

Amazing location - right at the center of st ives yet extremely quiet apartment! Spacious, great communication, lovely terrace! Will definitely come back!

was a lovely place to stay a short walk to the beach. Diana was extremely helpful! we all love it

We loved our stay here. The apartment was perfect for us - a family of 4 with 2 teens. There is so much to do on the estate - the pool and leisure area were great for rainy days. It was amazing to be able to walk to the beach and enjoy the cafe as well as being able to hire SUPs and wetsuits. Melanie was a great host and was really flexible in letting us change our arrival day (twice!) as well as enabling an early check in. There's loads to do in the area. Highly recommended!

I booked this as a surprise birthday get away for my wife and our two young children and it was the most perfect place I could have ever imagined. The view from the balcony is incredible, especially the sun rise (thanks to my youngest we never missed) is something worth waking up for. The entire house was spotless and the bed was so comfortable! Mel gave very detailed instructions on how to find the home, as well as some fantastic local recommendations. Excellent communication right up to the booking and was very helpful with extras for the kids! The beach is only a short downhill walk away, even quicker if you jump in the pushchair with the kids. The beach is quite small but was perfect for us. Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a Cornish getaway and would definitely book again!

The flat was spotless clean and very well decorated. Perfect location for a walk into town and also a stroll to Gylly beach. The view from the window was a delight when opening the curtains in the morning. one thing to note is the flat is a top floor and there is no lift. we never used the Falmouth hotel for swimming or gym but we did find that the bar was a perfect place for a drink on the way out\way back. Would love to stay here again. Never had to contact Nicola during the stay due to no issue's, however we did receive regular updates from Nicola. perfect holiday thanks you Nicola.

We absolutely loved our stay at Mary’s beautiful home. It exceeded our expectations the location was incredible, only a short and beautiful walk into the town. Next to the best beach. Every room was very clean and had everything we needed. Mary was very help helpful and quick to respond to any queries. Would highly recommend. Made a special birthday just perfect.

we had a truly wonderful stay at maenporth . the apartment was great and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay . we really enjoyed the comfort and amenities of the apartment and the complex

Really nice place. Responsive host, clear instructions. Peaceful place to rest. Enjoyed every moment.

As described, good central location within walking distance of the town. Well presented and good amenities.

This is the cleanest holiday rental we’ve ever stayed. Owners were lovely and couldn’t do enough to help. Beautiful property. Wonderful area. Pool was lovely. Highly recommend. Beds were the best air bnb beds we’ve ever stayed. Views were beautiful. We will certainly be back. Lots of friends are wanting to stay too. Thank you

Mary’s apartment was incredible. Perfect place with a perfect view! Certainly would recommend this to anyone who wants a proper Cornish getaway!

This place is a real gem and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for beautiful views, peace and serenity. It's within a short walk of amazing beaches and close to all local amenities that you need. St. Ives is easily accessible and we used it as a base for many other Cornish locations - Penzance, Land's End and Falmouth were an easy drive away. The property itself, aside from being in a great location, was very well equipped, spotlessly clean and had all amenities that were advertised and the pictures in the listing were accurate and recent. Karen was a great host, very responsive and left a number of goodies in the kitchen to welcome us, which was an extra special touch that we didn't expect. We stayed for 7 nights and could easily have stayed longer.

A wonderful stay. Fantastic location. Very comfortable apartment and super comfy bed. Great to have the balcony with superb views of St Ives. Very close to all the beaches, shops and restaurants. Overall very happy and I would definitely book again!! Many thanks for a wonderful stay!

Our second stay at Geeta’s apartment - location is perfect (so close to the harbour and no hills or steps to walk up from the town) for us with our two young children. The space is spotlessly clean and well equipped. Geeta was a great host with excellent communication. We will be back next year!

A gorgeous house within walking distance of Hayle beach. The house was brilliantly appointed and was very comfortable. Gorgeous views over the estuary enhanced our stay. Annie was a great host - very responsive and informative.

A beautifully clean and comfortable apartment with the best views of St Ives. We felt instantly at home the moment we walked through the front door. It’s in a brilliant location, close to all that St Ives has to offer. The parking space is a short walk away from the property, and is a bonus for St Ives as parking is always in short supply. Karen, and husband Richard, are really helpful and friendly Thank you. Highly recommended

Beautiful place with gorgeous view of the bay! Very clean and tastefully done up. Lucy was extremely helpful, even ringing me in advance to clarify how to navigate there. Thanks for the lovely stay!

The apartment probably has the best position of all those in the building with amazing views across the bay to St Ives from the lounge area, open plan kitchen and patio. There is everything available for a self catering stay. St Ives is easily accessed via the frequency of the train if you don’t fancy walking or using your car. Parking in the allotted space across the road is an absolute bonus. Self check in was easy, plenty of local information, attention to detail and health and safety showing how professionally run this apartment is.
