Anchors Rest

Anchors Rest is a ground-floor apartment in Carbis Bay with sea views, positioned on Headland Road with direct access to the South West Coast Path. The property sleeps 4 in two bedrooms and sits 900m from the beach.

The open-plan living space combines kitchen, dining, and sitting areas. A super-king bedroom (convertible to twin) has an en-suite with bath and shower, while a second twin bedroom is served by a separate walk-in shower room. Underfloor heating runs throughout. The kitchen includes a dishwasher, fridge/freezer, and washing machine, and there is a tumble dryer in the utility area. A 55-inch Smart TV with Netflix and a PS4 provide indoor entertainment.

A sea-facing terrace with outdoor furniture offers views across St Ives Bay. Private gated parking for one car is included, and a communal garden connects to the coast path. The apartment is reached from the car park via a lift or a short set of stairs.

Carbis Bay beach - a Blue Flag sandy cove with seasonal lifeguard cover - is a 10-minute walk. Porthkidney Beach, a wide dune-backed strand popular with birdwatchers, lies 1,300 metres away. St Ives is one stop on the branch line or a 25-minute walk along the cliffs, connecting to the mainline at St Erth for services across Cornwall and beyond.

Best for a couple or two friends wanting sea views and a 10-minute walk to Carbis Bay beach. Less good for guests bringing two cars - gated parking fits only one.
