Sowena
Carbis Bay apartment for 6, 700m from the beach with BBQ and garden
Sowena is a three-bedroom ground-floor apartment in Carbis Bay, sleeping six across two bathrooms. The property has an enclosed garden with a BBQ, off-road parking, dishwasher, and Wi-Fi. No pets.
Carbis Bay is 700m downhill - a sheltered sandy cove with calm, clear water that is well suited to families with young children. Porthkidney Beach is 1.5km across the dunes, a quieter stretch popular with walkers and paddleboarders. Porthminster Beach is 2.1km towards St Ives, one of the most consistently popular beaches in West Cornwall.
St Ives itself is a 20-minute walk or a short drive along the coast road. The town has a working harbour, a branch of the Tate gallery, and a wide range of independent restaurants and cafes. The mainline railway connects St Ives to St Erth and onwards to Penzance. The Carbis Bay area has good bus links into town.
This property suits a family or small group wanting a practical base within walking distance of two good beaches and St Ives. 36 reviews on Sykes. Friday changeover. Note there are no pets allowed, which may rule it out for some groups.
The apartment sleeps 6 across 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. BBQ, enclosed garden, dishwasher, washing machine, parking, and Wi-Fi are included in the weekly rate. Carbis Bay is 700m - close enough for multiple beach trips during a week without relying on a car.
