Laurellie

Laurellie is a top-floor apartment in the Compass Point development on Boskerris Road, Carbis Bay, sleeping 4 in 2 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms. The seaward-facing terrace gives open water views, and the kitchen looks out to sea.

The apartment has Wi-Fi, parking, a dishwasher, washing machine, and a garden. A cot and a highchair are available. No dog access. The top-floor position means stairs are involved, so it is not suited to guests who need step-free access. Compass Point is a purpose-built development on Boskerris Road.

Carbis Bay beach is 500 metres below - a sheltered, south-facing beach with calm water that holds warmth into September. Porthkidney Beach is 1.1 miles in the opposite direction, a quieter stretch of sand facing the estuary. St Ives is 1.2 miles by the coast path along the clifftop, with Tate St Ives, Porthmeor beach, and the harbour all walkable from the path's end. Porthminster Beach is 1.2 miles away. Saturday changeover, with check-in from 4:00 pm and check-out by 10:00 am.

Best for: couples or families of four who want a high-spec base with sea views, within easy reach of St Ives. Less good for: guests with dogs, or anyone needing ground-floor access.
