7 Atlantic Watch

7 Atlantic Watch is a two-bedroom apartment on Porthrepta Road in Carbis Bay, sleeping four with two bathrooms. The standout feature is the outdoor terrace with a private hot tub - a seaward-facing space that works from spring through to October. Rates from £1,915 per week include parking, WiFi, dishwasher, and washing machine.

Inside, the kitchen and living area are open plan, with a balcony off the main living space. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms give four guests adequate room without the cramped feel of a single-bathroom property. The garden provides a second outdoor area.

Carbis Bay beach is 500 metres down the hill - a sheltered, south-facing sandy bay that draws families for its calm water and lifeguarded summer season. St Ives is 1.2 miles west along the coast path, with the Tate St Ives gallery sitting directly above Porthmeor Beach. Porthminster Beach, known for its beach cafe, is 1.2 miles south of St Ives station. The St Ives branch line runs from Carbis Bay station to St Erth on the mainline, removing the need to drive into St Ives in peak season.

Best for couples or small families who want the beach close and St Ives accessible without staying in it. Less suited to guests wanting dogs - this cottage does not accept pets.
