The View

The View is a one-bedroom cottage in Carbis Bay, sleeping two adults with sea views from the property. Carbis Bay sits about 1 mile east of St Ives on the coast road, centred on a 500-metre Blue Flag beach that faces across St Ives Bay.

The cottage has a single bedroom, one bathroom, a garden, and parking. There is a dishwasher and washing machine. No Wi-Fi is listed, and no pets are permitted. The sea views are a key draw - the property is positioned to take in St Ives Bay. The garden provides outdoor space without the need to share it.

Carbis Bay beach is around 200m from the cottage - sheltered enough for swimming for much of the year, with seasonal lifeguard cover and a beachside cafe. Porthminster Beach in St Ives is 1.1 miles west. The branch-line rail halt at Carbis Bay connects to St Erth in 12 minutes, where mainline trains run to London Paddington, making this a practical base without a car for day trips. St Ives town centre is a 25-minute walk along the coast path or one stop on the train.

Best for: couples who want sea views and easy beach access without being in the thick of St Ives. Less suited to those needing Wi-Fi, anyone travelling with pets, or groups of more than two.
