Dolphin Watch

Dolphin Watch is a two-bedroom apartment set in an elevated position on Headland Road in Carbis Bay, part of the Gwel Marten development. The property sleeps 4 across a king-size double and a twin room, with one bathroom. It holds 10/10 rating from 57 guest reviews on Sykes.

Inside, the open-plan living area centres on a large lounge window with views across St Ives Bay toward Godrevy Lighthouse. The kitchen is well equipped with a dishwasher, washing machine, and fridge-freezer. Once inside, everything is on one level, though 10 steps lead up to the entrance. Binoculars are provided for watching the bay.

Carbis Bay beach is 0.6 km away - a short walk, though the road down to the sand is steep. The garden provides additional outdoor space. A dedicated parking space is included, which is valuable given limited options nearby. Porthkidney Beach (1.6 km) and Porthminster Beach (2 km) are both within easy reach.

Carbis Bay rail halt sits about a 2-minute walk from the property, connecting to St Ives in one stop or St Erth in 12 minutes for mainline services. The South West Coast Path runs through the village, with the walk to St Ives harbour taking around 25 minutes along the cliffs. Saturday changeover applies, with weekly prices starting from around the low three thousands.
