Wingspan

Wingspan is a two-bedroom apartment in Carbis Bay for four guests, with two bathrooms and sea views. It is a second-floor penthouse with lift access, and wheelchair and pushchair access is available from the roadside communal door, where the lift is. Stone steps lead down from the communal parking area to the entrance of the apartment block. Designated parking is for one car, with a public car park 100 metres away for any second vehicle. The subtropical gardens are shared with other residents, and a balcony adds another spot to sit and take in the coastal outlook.

Wi-Fi and a Smart TV are included, and the kitchen has an electric oven, a gas hob, a microwave, a fridge freezer, a dishwasher, a washer/dryer and a Nespresso coffee maker. The apartment has a Saturday changeover. Dogs are not accepted.

Carbis Bay beach is around 500 metres away, an easy walk down the hill. Porthkidney Beach is 1.0 mile from the apartment, and Porthminster Beach is 1.3 miles away, both reachable via the coast path or the branch railway line into St Ives. That railway link is one of the more scenic short rides in Cornwall, hugging the dunes for most of the journey. The Carbis Bay guide covers more local beaches and routes towards town.

**Best for:** a family of four or two couples wanting two bathrooms, sea views, lift access and a short walk down to Carbis Bay beach. **Less good for:** dog owners.
