Sea Bleu

Sea Bleu is a ground-floor 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom cottage in Carbis Bay sleeping 4, with a private hot tub and enclosed patio garden. The ground-floor layout makes it accessible for guests who prefer to avoid stairs, and the hot tub in the garden is a practical draw for shoulder-season bookings when the beach is quiet.

Carbis Bay beach is 200m away - a sheltered, south-facing crescent of sand with shallow water that makes it well suited to families with young children. The beach is quieter than St Ives and has a beach cafe and watersports hire in season. St Ives harbour and the Tate St Ives gallery are 1.9km along the coast path, which follows the cliff above the railway line. Porthminster Beach is 1.7km - one of the most sheltered beaches on the north Penwith coast.

Amenities include Wi-Fi, parking, and dishwasher. No washing machine. 2 bathrooms for 4 guests, which removes the main morning bottleneck for two couples or a family. Rated 5/10 from 13 Sykes reviews. Saturday changeover. No dogs.

Ideal for two couples or a small family who want beach proximity and outdoor evening space. Works for guests wanting St Ives within walking distance without paying St Ives prices. Not great for guests requiring on-site laundry.
