Bay Dream

Bay Dream is a refurbished 1-bedroom annexe in Carbis Bay, sleeping 2, on a quiet residential street 400 metres from Carbis Bay beach. For a couples' base close to the sea without the footprint or cost of a full cottage, the position works well, with Porthkidney Beach 1.1 miles east as a quieter alternative.

The king bedroom has a flat-screen TV, and the bathroom has a walk-in shower. A private garden and dedicated parking are included. Dogs are welcome, and Wi-Fi and a dishwasher are both provided. The overall layout is compact and well-suited to two people. The living space is open-plan with a dining area, and the restaurants La Casita and The Cornish Arms are within minutes of the property.

The coast path to St Ives runs 1.2 miles from the property with modest elevation - a straightforward 25-minute walk. Porthminster Beach is 1.4 miles along the same route. Carbis Bay station is a minute's walk from the beach and connects to St Ives in under 5 minutes by train on the branch line. Porthkidney Beach adds a quieter option 1.1 miles east along the spit.

Best for couples or solo visitors wanting a compact base within walking distance of the beach and St Ives. Dogs welcome. Less suited to families needing a second bedroom.
