  • "Very nice property."

    Cleaning below expected level, litter on patio, had to contact office on arrive due to toilet continuously filling, team came and sorted it, but the cleaners had been in and should have contacted the office. I don't expect to be making calls for service when on holiday, most frustrating. Patio furniture well past it best sunbeds are rusty and a hazard and the mat they sit on needs replaced. Pics on web need update as they do not show current state which was not good as i looked forward to the hammock.

    Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback after your stay. We are pleased to see that the team was able to sort out the issues you faced during your stay. We shall look into the points you have raised for future imporvements. Kind regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

  • "Hello I'm really sorry I wasn't able to leave feed back on the day of departure."

    We left on Friday, not Saturday. The reason for this was because my sister who came on holiday passed away at St Julia's hospice on the early hours of the 6th September. Dawn, my sister had cancer of brain, lungs, mouth, bowels and liver. We knew this was her last holiday but it happened so fast on the 5th September. An ambulance had to be called to you apartment and took her too the hospice. We are extremely sorry if we missed anything at the apartment but we did try to leave it as clean as we could. My sister had a fantastic 5 days and absolutely loved your apartment so I would like to thank you for her last days enjoying Cornwall and your apartment. Kind regards Carol Clay

    Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback. We are so sorry to hear about you loss and send our condolances to you and your family. It was lovely to hear that your sister Dawn had a fantastic holiday and enjoyed her last few days in Cornwall by the sea. We hope to have the oppotunity to welcome you and your family back again in the near future. Kindest and warmest regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

    Apartment was really handy for carbis bay station which was great for getting into st Ives without having to worry about parking the car. Also a short walk from carbis bay beach which was beautiful, we were lucky enough to have some good weather during our stay. Large Tesco within walking distance too. The bed in the master bedroom was so comfy, we slept really well and the apartment was very quiet. Loved the sea theme decor throughout.

  • "This is a lovely apartment in a beautiful part of Cornwall."

    It is only a short walk down to the beach at Carbis Bay and we walked to St Ives a few times too. St Ives has plenty of places to eat and also has a lovely beach. We drove to a couple of National Trust places within 30 mins...St Michael's mount is very impressive. The apartment in spacious and comfortable; it had everything we needed for the week with our two children. Main bedroom is en suite with another bathroom across from the other bedroom. Small issue was noise transference from the apartment above us...thumping footsteps across the ceiling at night. Tescos just down the rd in a ten minute walk....huge supermarkets a short drive towards Penzance. We also visited Healys cyder farm.

    ... what a gorgeous apartment....and the balcony is fantastic, just a shame we didn't have the weather to use it to its best advantage....apartment is in a fantastic location for exploring the delights of Cornwall.... Gannet Inn and La Casita served gorgeous food.... Just a couple of things that we feel would make the apartment 100% perfect: * a wardrobe in bedroom 2.... we were 4 adults and had to share 1 wardrobe * small selection of condiments, salt, pepper, oil, ketchup/brown sauce etc (even if these are 'sachets') * a lamp in the window near the corner sofa to create 'ambiance' (the reading lamp is stunning, I've even bought the same shade) * the hoover looked as thought it had not been emptied since it was bought, was VERY compacted and took 2 of us 30 mins to scrape out!! It's evident that the cleaners don't check this either! * Pegs. I understand why there is only a maiden, but pegs are needed to keep clothes on the maiden when placed on the balcony These are not items that would stop us from staying again, but are 'inexpensive' fixes for the owner to create the perfect place.

    Thank you very much for your lovely Feedback following your recent holiday at Sea Glass and we are so pleased to read your wonderful comments about the property. Thank you also for your recommendations and suggestions, we will pass these on for consideration. We look forward to the opportunity to welcome you back again the future.

The terrace is beautiful to have breakfast on, and the location is in easy reach of Carbis Bay beach (6 min walk) and the many beaches of St Ives (a leisurely walk or a 3 minute train ride away).

  • "It was very cold when we arrived ."

    Shaun came over and very kindly loaned us a heater which was a godsend. The towel rails were not on so again Shaun sorted it out after a few days. We understand the price of Electricity is a real problem but we expected the place to be warm. Its a complicated system we understand as have had problems with it before. We thought that the housekeeper should have made sure the heating was on.

    Thank you for your feedback and we are very sorry the property was not warm on your arrival as it normally is for guests staying during the Winter months. We are pleased to have rectified the issue as quickly as possible once we were aware and apologise for the inconvenience caused by this. We have spoken to the housekeeper to avoid this from happening again going forward. We hope you overall were still able to enjoy your time in Carbis Bay.

About the location

CARBIS BAY

St Ives 2 miles ; Hayle 3.5 miles ; Penzance 8.5 miles

Just a short drive from iconic St Ives, the seaside village of Carbis Bay is best-known for its beautiful stretch of pure white sand. With turquoise waters and sheltered conditions, the beach feels almost subtropical and is the perfect spot for a good old-fashioned day by the sea. The beach is also home to the Ocean Sports Centre, so if sunbathing is not really your thing, why not hire a kayak or SUP and get out on the water instead. Or why not treat yourself to a Spa day at the delightful hotel which overlooks the beach and has a fabulous terrace where cocktails can be enjoyed in the Cornish sunshine? Carbis Bay has a small range of local shops and restaurants as well as a fish & chip takeaway and railway branch line. The train journey from Carbis Bay into St Ives is perhaps one of the most beautiful in the country; St Ives additionally makes for a great day out, with plenty of galleries to explore. The quayside town of Hayle also isn't far and is home to activities for the all the family, including a golf and a wildlife sanctuary. The Godrevy Nature Reserve and Penwith Heritage Coast are also within easy reach from Carbis Bay, providing outdoors and watersports plans with even more activities to partake in, including coasteering and birdwatching. Carbis Bay is truly a wonderful holiday location for those wanting to experience Cornwall's breathtaking coastline.

There is a Good Housekeeping Bond of £100 for this property.
