Beachfront holiday rentals in Carbis Bay

Wow - what an amazing place to stay! This is probably the most memorable AirBnB I have stayed in so far. You are right on the edge of the seafront and by the harbour, with the double aspect living room enabling you to see both - the sea views are just stunning. Margaret was a really friendly and communicative host, and the parking space is good. I would heartily recommend this as a great place to stay; it is just so special being able to look out and see the sea from bed, and to hear the waves lapping at the shore as you go to sleep or make your cup of tea in the morning.

This place is a real gem and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for beautiful views, peace and serenity. It's within a short walk of amazing beaches and close to all local amenities that you need. St. Ives is easily accessible and we used it as a base for many other Cornish locations - Penzance, Land's End and Falmouth were an easy drive away. The property itself, aside from being in a great location, was very well equipped, spotlessly clean and had all amenities that were advertised and the pictures in the listing were accurate and recent. Karen was a great host, very responsive and left a number of goodies in the kitchen to welcome us, which was an extra special touch that we didn't expect. We stayed for 7 nights and could easily have stayed longer.

What a find, was looking for somewhere to stay while attending a wedding and this apartment is amazing. After a long journey from Cambs, we found this lovely place has everything you need, great host, free parking, restaurants within a few minutes, cafe below you…yet a feeling of privacy within the apartment. We felt totally at home here, such a clean, tidy, comfortable and homely place, great neighbours and locals who are also very welcoming. We would recommend The Unicorn pub and Blue Bar for food and drink and friendliness, and for the morning the Beach Cafe below the apartments, great quality good value food. The beach is literally below you along with amazing walks, we experienced picture-postcard sunsets each night, couldn’t have asked for more. Mike the host is very professional and helpful, responding quickly to our questions and giving advice like a true local of the place! 10/10 on everything we experienced. Go see for yourself!

was a lovely place to stay a short walk to the beach. Diana was extremely helpful! we all love it

Jane’s flat on the harbour was absolutely perfect for what we needed. Was in easy walking distance of carparks, beaches and restaurants. It was really easy to find with Jane’s instructions ahead of checkin. I would definitely return back to the flat in the future.

Even Keel is charming beyond words. We didn't know much about Mousehole or the Mousehole Cat before our stay, and it is now one of our favorite places. The home has all you need for a self-catering stay of several days: fully equipped kitchen, nice beds and bathrooms, and a washer/dryer. The only tricky thing (as an American driver) was parking. I would advise any beginners to park in the big Parade lot on the outskirts of town. The North Quay lot is a shorter walk but a little tricky to navigate into and often full. The South Quay lot - just around the corner from Even Keel - was nerve wracking to drive into and then was completely full. (As for "street" parking, I would strongly advise against even considering to try this; just pay to use one of the lots and enjoy your holiday!)

Me and my 2 kids adored our stay here! The most breathtaking views of the ocean and such easy access to the beach via the dunes. We shall definitely be coming back!

Tranquil by name tranquil by nature! This is a beautiful space inside and out. Very clean and neat but not clinical, very comfy. The bed was so comfy with cosy duvet and pillows. The bathroom clean, great shower and towels with a little cupboard of extra bits should you have forgotten your toothbrush! The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and crockery, even has a seasoning rack. The outdoor space is perfect, a little grassy area, decking with bistro table and chairs and a larger table and chairs where you can have meals right next to the little summer house. The hot tub is positioned perfectly so you can see sheep in the field while you soak. The icing on the Tranquil cake has got to be the private beach. Just a 10 minute stroll down a clearly marked out path ( map and directions in the kitchen) open the gate with the key provided and you are on the most gorgeous little beach. Sue and Darren were so friendly and helpful and responded quickly to queries we had. We would def return!

We loved our stay here. The apartment was perfect for us - a family of 4 with 2 teens. There is so much to do on the estate - the pool and leisure area were great for rainy days. It was amazing to be able to walk to the beach and enjoy the cafe as well as being able to hire SUPs and wetsuits. Melanie was a great host and was really flexible in letting us change our arrival day (twice!) as well as enabling an early check in. There's loads to do in the area. Highly recommended!

We had a lovely family stay, really peaceful and quiet and we all loved the hot tub and the flow rider! Comfy beds and lovely to have bath robes and plenty of towels. Really lovely stay in lovely location close to lots of beautiful beaches and towns. Great property.Thank you!

The flat was spotless clean and very well decorated. Perfect location for a walk into town and also a stroll to Gylly beach. The view from the window was a delight when opening the curtains in the morning. one thing to note is the flat is a top floor and there is no lift. we never used the Falmouth hotel for swimming or gym but we did find that the bar was a perfect place for a drink on the way out\way back. Would love to stay here again. Never had to contact Nicola during the stay due to no issue's, however we did receive regular updates from Nicola. perfect holiday thanks you Nicola.

We absolutely loved our stay at Mary’s beautiful home. It exceeded our expectations the location was incredible, only a short and beautiful walk into the town. Next to the best beach. Every room was very clean and had everything we needed. Mary was very help helpful and quick to respond to any queries. Would highly recommend. Made a special birthday just perfect.

We visited Liz and Dave's beautiful apartment for my 40th birthday and it was everything we hoped it would be and more. Inside, the space was clean, comfortable, spacious, and well-equipped. The views were absolutely stunning, and we enjoyed several mornings and afternoons on the lovely balcony. The location was amazing, very close to the train station and a bus stop and very easily walkable to pretty much anything you'd want to do in town. There is also a path across the street that takes you down to a stunning beach. Liz and Dave were responsive and just totally lovely, and made us feel welcome and special for our special occasion. I just cannot recommend the space highly enough! Thank you Liz and Dave!! (and Tara and Claire!)

we had a truly wonderful stay at maenporth . the apartment was great and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay . we really enjoyed the comfort and amenities of the apartment and the complex

This is the cleanest holiday rental we’ve ever stayed. Owners were lovely and couldn’t do enough to help. Beautiful property. Wonderful area. Pool was lovely. Highly recommend. Beds were the best air bnb beds we’ve ever stayed. Views were beautiful. We will certainly be back. Lots of friends are wanting to stay too. Thank you

We had a great stay here with 6 adults and a child. The house was clean, spacious, and had everything we needed—with 3 bedrooms and a sofa bed that worked perfectly. Just 5-minute to Hayle Beach and close to shops too. Mark was a fantastic host—friendly and quick to respond. The only thing we weren’t quite prepared for were the seagulls, who clearly thought they were our morning alarm clocks… at full volume!

Great house and probably the best we’ve stayed in Cornwall. About a 15 minute walk from a beautiful beach through the sand dunes, which our dog loved. The kitchen is the best equipped we’ve come across in an Airbnb. We cooked a few times during the stay and to our surprise it had all the random things we needed. The property is on a very quiet street and felt very private tucked away at the end of a cul-de-sac and next to the entrance where you go through to the beach. We were unfamiliar with Gwithian/Hayle but we’d definitely stay again, it felt so peaceful but also very easy to get to St Ives. M&S was within a few minutes drive too so handy to get a shop in. Thanks Rebecca for the lovely stay, we’re already thinking about another visit!

We stayed at Beluz House for a week from 7 June 25 and could not have been happier. The location is perfect. Right in front of the most beautiful beach and within easy walking distance of another 3 stunning beaches. Just on the edge of town, so not al all noisy. Yet within 3 min walk to the town and the multitude of restaurants and bars. You couldn’t get a better location. The house was cosy, comfortable and very traditional. Everything you needed was provided. Beautiful little front garden and views from the bedroom balcony to die for. Jonathan could not have been more helpful and friendly. Even when we had a puncture 2 mins after leaving, was able to advise us where to go. Would definitely go back again. We had a great holiday.

A beautiful place with stunning a sea view. Felt like home away from home. Super clean place with stylish furniture and fresh linen and towels. Jennifer the host was so friendly and helpful and went out of her way to answer any questions asap. We already have recommended this place to our friends and will be staying there again when we come back to Cornwall. If we could give it six stars we would.

Very clean and extremely well equipped apartment, with a lovely view of St Ives Harbour. Easy walking distance into the town centre. Very useful to have a parking space - a bonus for St Ives! Ideal for couples or a family of 4.

Absolutely beautiful place , minutes from the beach great walks and stunning views .easy to find too. Loved the place ,would definitely go again 👌hopefully soon .

Beautiful place with gorgeous view of the bay! Very clean and tastefully done up. Lucy was extremely helpful, even ringing me in advance to clarify how to navigate there. Thanks for the lovely stay!

We had a wonderful holiday at Nicky's home. It couldn't have suited us better in every way. We will definitely be back!

What a wonderful holiday the flat was perfect a lot of attention to detail very clean and well equipped the bed was so comfortable, fantastic location for beach lovers. My dogs had the best week ever. Wine flowers and a few nibbles a great touch! Thank you for allowing my dogs to stay they had a wonderful time on all the beaches. I loved how close we were to the beach! The beaches are so so beautiful. We can’t thank you enough for a great holiday.
