Skysail

Skysail is a three-bedroom apartment in The Spinnakers development on Valley Road in Carbis Bay, sleeping 6 across 2 bathrooms with a hot tub and garden terrace. At 200m from Carbis Bay Beach, the property is among the closest apartments to the sand in the development. Wi-Fi, parking, dishwasher, and washing machine are all included.

The hot tub is the key comfort feature - set on the garden terrace it gives the property a practical outdoor element beyond the beach itself, particularly useful in shoulder season when evening temperatures drop. Three bedrooms make it usable for two couples or a family of six.

Carbis Bay Beach is south-facing and sheltered, with consistently calmer water than the north-coast beaches. The Blue Flag beach has a cafe, a seasonal lifeguard service, and good sand depth at mid-tide. The St Ives branch line stops at Carbis Bay station, which sits roughly between The Spinnakers development and the beach - a 5-minute train ride runs directly into St Ives, avoiding the need to navigate town-centre parking.

St Ives is 1.9km from the apartment by the coast path, around a 30-minute walk along the cliff edge. The Tate St Ives, the Barbara Hepworth Sculpture Garden, the harbour, and the town's restaurants are all accessible on foot or by rail. Porthminster Beach, St Ives' south-facing sheltered beach, is 1.7km along the same path - a quieter option if Carbis Bay is crowded.

This property is ideal for families or two couples who want a properly equipped, beach-facing apartment with hot tub access and realistic walkability to St Ives. No pets are accepted. It is not a good fit for guests who need a dog-friendly property or who want countryside seclusion rather than a coastal town setting. 12 Sykes reviews. Changeover is Saturday.
