Portside

Portside is a 3-bedroom cottage in Carbis Bay sleeping 5, with 2 bathrooms and a private hot tub on the garden terrace. Carbis Bay is 500m downhill on foot - a broad sandy cove with lifeguard cover in season. Porthkidney Beach stretches across the dunes at 1.1 miles, and Porthminster Beach is 1.2 miles along the coastal path toward St Ives.

The property includes EV charging, off-road parking, Wi-Fi, dishwasher, and washing machine. Garden with outdoor seating. No pets. Saturday changeover.

The EV charger is a practical bonus for anyone arriving by electric car from further afield.

Suits couples or small families who want a private hot tub within walking distance of a proper beach - not a ten-minute drive to get wet. The garden terrace and balcony arrangement means outdoor time doesn't require good weather to feel comfortable.

Not great for groups travelling with dogs, or anyone expecting to walk everywhere - St Ives village is 1.2 miles, which is manageable but involves a hill on the return leg.

Three bedrooms across the property sleep 5, with 2 bathrooms keeping morning queues short. The combination of EV charging, a hot tub, and a dishwasher means Portside covers a wider range of practical requirements than most Carbis Bay cottages at this size - useful when comparing properties that look similar on paper but differ considerably in facilities.
