About this property
Set in a beautiful Cornish Valley, at The Spinnakers, on the seaward facing side of Carbis Bay, is this lovely, two-bedroom, ground-floor apartment, Sea Bleu. The apartment enjoys a private terrace to relax in the sun, whilst the beach, South West Coastal Path, and the scenic St Ives railway are all a stone's throw away, providing a romantic retreat or a homely base for families to holiday by the sea. The spacious, open-plan living area has a fully-equipped kitchen for cooking at home, a dining table for four, and a sitting area where you can relax on the corner sofa in front of the 48" TV with Sky Q or step onto your private terrace with a glass of wine in hand. There is bistro-style seating to dine alfresco or savour your morning coffee in peace. With two bedrooms sleeping up to four guests, the first is a master king-size with an en-suite shower room, French doors leading onto the terrace, and a Freeview TV, whilst the second is a twin with garden views and a Freeview TV. Both bedrooms have access to the family bathroom where you can unwind in the Jacuzzi bath after busy beach days. Nestled in the heart of Carbis Bay, you'll have easy access to one of Cornwall's finest, Blue Flag beaches, which is popular for watersports swimming, and the village has a selection of shops, eateries and pubs to choose from. Venture along the South West Coast Path with Hayle in one direction and St Ives in the other, where you can spot local wildlife and enjoy scenic, cliffside views across the sea. Alternatively, St Ives is a short drive or train journey away where more sandy beaches, Tate St Ives, Barbara Hepworth Museum, and cobbled streets lined with charming cafés all await. Further afield, you'll find Cornwall’s Eden Project with its enclosed rainforest, Pendennis Castle in Falmouth, and St Michaels Mount near Penzance, the jewel in Cornwall’s crown and a sight not to be missed. Sea Bleu offers a magical escape to the Cornish coast.
Carbis Bay, a seaside community near St. Ives, is famed for its white sand beach. With turquoise waters and sheltered conditions, the beach is great for a classic day at the beach. If sunbathing isn't your thing, rent a kayak or SUP from the Ocean Sports Centre. Or, spend a spa day at the hotel, which overlooks the beach and has a great patio for cocktails in the Cornish sun. Carbis Bay features shops, restaurants, a fish & chip takeaway, and a railway branch line. The train ride from Carbis Bay to St Ives is one of the country's most picturesque. St Ives is also a terrific day trip with plenty of galleries to explore. Hayle, a quayside town, offers family-friendly activities including golf and a wildlife sanctuary. Carbis Bay is near the Godrevy Nature Reserve and Penwith Heritage Coast, which offer outdoor and watersports activities like coasteering and birdwatching. Carbis Bay is a great place to visit Cornwall's coast.

I also noted that the blind in the living area was coming away from the rail (as noted by a previous guest). All other fitting and appliances were good but the soap dish in the en suite was chipped. This is our second year staying at sea bleu and despite the above stay again.

2. Blind in front of dining table. The top of the blind the velcro is no longer holding the blind to the track. 3. Sofa in the lounge has seen better days and in my opinion with the apartment being 5 stars, this in itself would loose a star, as it is so uncomfortable and smells. The cushions on it also are old and need replacing. 4. Coffee table again has seen better days and has cup stains all over it, but could be so easily put right. 5. The rug the coffee table sits on again is old and is in need of replacing. There are more things I could say but in general we have stayed with Carbis Bay holidays for many many years now and this apartment I would definately not return to or recommend to others. The apartment itself was very clean, the facilities were good and appliances. We have stayed in Moonsail next door and this is a far superior apartment but generally is the same layout. The owners could look at what that one looks like and maybe update this one.

The accommodation is of a high standard. Access to the Carbis Bay beach on foot takes just 10 mins and St Ives is easily accessible by bus or train or alternatively via the lovely coast path. This is one of the best holiday bases available in the area and I would recommend it for a relaxing break. The local Carbis Bay Holiday representatives provided a superb local service responding quickly to our queries. Overall.....first class.
