Snaptrip says

Kittiwake in Carbis Bay is highly praised for its stunning sea views and peaceful atmosphere. Guests consistently mention the well-equipped, clean, and comfortable apartment, ideal for both relaxing and exploring the local area. The proximity to St Ives and the beach, along with the thoughtful touches by the host, contribute to an enjoyable and memorable stay.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Reviews frequently commend the cleanliness of the apartment, indicating meticulous maintenance and housekeeping. Guests feel welcomed by the pristine condition upon arrival, contributing to a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

The location is highly celebrated for its breathtaking views and convenience. Proximity to the beach, coastal path, and local attractions like St Ives is frequently appreciated, making it an ideal base for exploring Cornwall.

Guests find the apartment comfortable, with several positive comments about the quality of sleep due to the soothing sound of waves. However, a few guests mentioned the firmness of the beds and the desire for more comfortable seating, slightly impacting the overall comfort score.

The apartment is well-equipped, with guests expressing satisfaction with the amenities provided. Some minor maintenance issues, such as a leaky shower screen and water pressure concerns, have been noted, but these do not significantly detract from the overall experience.

While guests express gratitude for the warm welcome and treats on arrival, there is insufficient information to determine if such gestures are consistent across all stays. Therefore, while appreciated, these thoughtful touches cannot be guaranteed for future guests.

    Stunning views. Quiet area. We had a great week there. Only downsides were the seating area - which wasn’t particularly comfortable for relaxing - would be cramped for 4 adults & the bed was firm - simple topper mattress would help.

    Unfortunately the family above us had 2 children that appeared to be training for the olympic running and we were woken up daily at 7am and this continued until they went out and started again as soon as they returned later in the day, which was quite annoying. Only other irritating issue was the twin beds - the struts underneath the mattresses are too short and if you move too quickly the mattress falls through! Otherwise it was a fantastic holiday and a great place to stay.
