“Absolutely loved our stay, what a beautiful apartment that is a home from home, kitchen so well equipped, views to die for, and very comfy beds, loved the power shower, but note, door needs a look at, not closing properly, it was fine, but could be a issue, also code for car entrance was incorrect, on form, took us a while to figure it out, we loved it so much we stayed extra 2 nights, couch was so comfy, note again, would of loved a bigger television, saying that , we will be back, we absolutely loved it.”

A September 2024

“Spacious and airy living, great views, well equipped kitchen, lovely linen and bathrobes.”

Loved the take home tote bag too! Liquid for the washing machine would have been helpful and the gate codes in the arrival instructions were incorrect. Otherwise a lovely stay thank you.

Kelly August 2024

“Thank you for a lovely stay at Mid Air.”

It’s a perfect location and the apartment is lovely with stunning views. Thank you for the apple juice and cookies. The only point I would make is I could not find the code to the bin cupboard so we had to ask another guest. I would highly recommend Mid Air and would certainly book again if we were in the area again.

- Kelly, August 2024

Thank you for your feedback we are pleased to see you have lovely stay. We hope to see you again in the near future. Warm regards Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

Yvette June 2024

“Outside area was filthy no parasol windows dirty kitchen had limited crockery the ensuite sink still had a hairline crack in it which was there last year !”

! Shower doors do not close properly again same as last year the whole property seemed very tired and in need of an upgrade considering the fee it lacked the luxury element we will not return

- Yvette, June 2024

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback after your stay. We are disappointed to hear of the points raised but would like to assure you we have been in contact with the Housekeeper of the property to ensure these are resolved going forward. The windows of the property were due to be cleaned during your stay, however we understand you requested this did not occur, therefore this was organised at the next available opportunity on your departure. Parasols are not provided for this top floor property due to the gusts and winds that can be experienced as part of the development being situated so close to the coast and seafront. Glasses and crockery are provided for six guests, despite the property sleeping four. This is to ensure there are spare supplies should this be required for our guests during your stay. We understand you spoke with the Housekeeper during your stay at Mid Air and no issue were raised at the time. We would like to remind you that we are available in the office from 9am to 5:30pm Monday to Saturday should you have any questions or queries and we will always do our very best to resolve these as quickly as possible. Kindest Regards, The Team at Carbis Bay Holidays. Property Owner

“Amazing location, apartment was clean and well presented.”

We had everything in the apartment that we could have needed and stocked perfectly. Many thanks to the team, we had an awesome weekend. In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger “I’ll be back”

Martin December 2023

“We were very happy with our Christmas week at Mid Air.”

The apartment was very spacious and comfortable, with wonderful views over the bay to St Ives. The beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen well-appointed for the occasions when we wanted to cook. It's a great location for picking up the coastal path to Hayle (East) or St Ives, and just a few minutes’ walk from the train station. Overall, we could not fault the property and would happily book again.

- Martin, December 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback, we are delighted to hear you could not fault the property and that you were very happy with your Christmas week at Mid Air. We hope we have the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future. Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

“Crack in en-suite hand basin Clearer labelling for recycling area for ALL Sands apartments.”

Too much waste gets thrown away & not recycled. A good example is food waste. Is this recycleable anywhere? Otherwise all first class as usual

- Robert, August 2023

Thank you for your feedback and for bringing these issues to our attention we will be sure to look into the points raised. Unfortunately, food waste recycling is something that is not yet offered by Cornwall Council. Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

“Thank you for a fab week in a lovely apartment.”

Our 5th visit to Hawks Point. Fun days on the beach despite the lack of sunshine! Lovely meal at "Firehouse Bar & Grill" St Ives and interesting trip to Geevor Tin Mine. We'll be back! :)

- The G's, Aug 2023
Faye July 2023

“The property is beautiful, lovely space and amazing views.”

I would just point that there is now Apple TV unless you have your own log in and I feel that should be made clear as it’s misleading in the information. We did also inform sykes on our return that someone needs to look into the issue of an insect called silver fish. We notice about 10. After some research it says they like damp environments. So hopefully the appropriate measures have been taken. Having said that we would book again.

- Faye, July 2023

Thank you very much for your feedback and for making us aware that guests need to have their own log in to use the Apple TV at Mid Air. We want to apologise if this has caused any inconvenience and can assure you that we will amend the website descriptions going forward. The silver fish issue has been addressed and will be dealt with. It makes us happy to hear you liked the apartment and would book again. Thank you again for your feedback and we hope to get the opportunity to welcome you back soon! With Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner
Neil April 2023

“There were one or two minor issues that did not affect our stay or deter us from future stays, for example the bedroom door latches were not working properly and they continued to slam loudly and an under cupboard lamp was not working.”

Minor matters, but I feel it would be helpful to report. The most significant issue which caused me some distress, was the Internet provision. A very old Apple router which was at best slow and on the Tuesday of our stay, we had no Internet provision at all for much of the day. I do need the Internet while on holiday because of my charity work and the need to use Zoom efficiently, to that end. If this could be sorted then I would like to book a further holiday at Mid Air next year.

- Neil, April 2023

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback and comments following your stay at Mid Air. We are saddened to hear that you have had difficulties with the internet and have come across two other minor maintenance issues. We have now been informed that the internet problem was an Openreach issue which has affected the whole of The Sands apartment complex and neighbouring properties and has been fixed the day after it occurred. With regards to the router, I have been advised by the housekeeper that this transfers 40 MB of data, which is average to fast speed. We have reported the door latches and the under cupboard lamp to our Property Management Team who will look into resolving these issues going forward. We want to apologise for any inconvenience caused. We also want to let you know that we are always available to help under the number 01736 630015, option 2 and would do our best to resolve any issues encountered during your say as soon as possible, when approached. We are very pleased to hear that your stay has not been affected by this too much and therefore hope you still had a lovely holiday time. We hope to get the opportunity to welcome you back in the future! With Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner
Luke December 2022

“Beautiful apartment.”

Have visited many times. We did notice the central heating boiler was very noisy on occasions and as it is outside the bedrooms it did wake us up. Perhaps it needs looking at? No hesitation recommending the apartment though as it is so comfortable.

- Luke, December 2022

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us your feedback as it is very important to us. We are sorry to hear the boiler was noisy at times. We can assure you that we will look into if this can be resolved going forward. We are very pleased to hear you would not hesitate to recommend staying at Mid Air and hope to get the opportunity to welcome you back soon! With Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner
Rachel August 2022

“An absolutely magical stay, Mid Air was top class & the view when walking into the property was breathtaking.”

A very high standard was present throughout the spacious apartment and a lovely welcome pack was a really nice touch . Our children both felt really at home there straight away and slept liked logs after a fun packed day on the beautiful, safe Carbis Bay, which is literally a few minutes walk down the bank . Perfectly located to easily catch the train into St Ives, which added an exciting element to our stay . We fell in love with the luxurious Mid Air & also Carbis Bay. We cannot wait to return!

- Rachel, August 2022

Thank you for such wonderful feedback, we will be sure to pass this across to the owner and the housekeeper. We hope to welcome you back to the area in the near future. Kind regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner
Robert June 2022

“Excellent apartment with views over the bay to st Ives.”

Close to the local station but the hill is quite steep for anyone with walking difficulties. There is a station car park but it can get busy in high season. We took a taxi into St Ives on our last evening (Porthmeor restaurant) and for the 4 of us was less than £10 each way - cheaper than a bus.

- Robert, June 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We hope you had a wonderful holiday. Kind Regards The Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner
Luke April 2022

“We have stayed many times at mid air.”

Beautiful apartment with lovely views. It’s always spotless and very comfortable. I know there have been a few comments about the sofas and they do loose a lot of feathers but they are comfortable. I do think though if you had mobility issues they would be very hard to get out of! We still love this apartment and will continue to return.

- Luke, April 2022

Thank you so much for your positive feedback. We are thrilled to hear that you had such a lovely stay. Thank you again and we hope to welcome you back in the future. Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner
John April 2022

“Wow, exceeded all expectations, the view and location are fantastic.”

Only very minor criticism would be to 2 very large sofas, not the most comfortable for sitting at and maybe a larger main tv due to the size of the room, but you have to remember you are on holiday. Railway station only 5 minutes away, downhill, but the hill is worthy of noting for the elderly. Apartment very well fitted out with everything that was expected. Would highly recommend.

- John, April 2022
Gillian April 2022

“This is an amazing apartment with AMAZING views,we absolutely loved it and would love to go back again.”

However the sofas are so uncomfortable and impossible for me and my husband to sit on, if there hadn’t been the other chairs we would have had to sit in the dining chairs all week.we are in our seventies though , I am sure youngsters wouldn’t have a problem Also I would have liked to know that the telescope doesn’t work as I didn’t take my binoculars with me as thought It would be better. This is only constructive criticism though just a couple of issues that would make Mid Air perfect for all .

- Gillian, April 2022

Dear Mrs Hammond, Thank you for your positive feedback. The views are amazing and we would be delighted to welcome you back again. Kindest Regards The Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner

The property

Enjoying unbeatable views over the stunning Carbis Bay, Mid Air is a first-class penthouse apartment situated on the second-floor of a modern development.

Boasting a light and airy feel, with plenty of luxury touches throughout, this is a truly spectacular place to call home while exploring Cornwall’s coast.

The entrance hallway greets your arrival, leading you into the spacious open-plan living area where you will immediately be drawn to the gorgeous bay views and balcony, uplifting the room with plenty of natural lighting.

Dominating the room are the two large L-shaped sofas where you can settle down and discuss the days events, while the designated chef takes to the kitchen, fitted with a host of modern appliances to ensure a stress-free cooking experience.

Take the evening to the balcony, where you can enjoy alfresco dining with a beautiful backdrop, or simply sit back with your favourite drink and soak up the scene.

The bedrooms at Mid Air are each beautifully decorated, offering a super-king-size with zip/link beds, and a king-size that benefits from an en-suite shower.

There is also a contemporary bathroom where you can enjoy lazy soaks and refreshing rinses to round off your day.

Pack up your beach bag and head to the soft sands of Carbis Bay Beach, listed as one of the world’s best by the Most Beautiful Bays in the World Organisation, it provides a great family day out with gentle surfing conditions, crystal clear waters and boating opportunities.

Carbis Bay itself is brimming with a host of shops, pubs, restaurants and seaside amenities, as well as offering direct trains to St Ives.

Wind through the quaint streets and narrow lanes of St Ives, before meandering to the quayside, where there is a great selection of eateries and shops to browse.

Take in local culture at the famous Tate St Ives, and marvel at the sculptures in the Barbara Hepworth Museum & Sculpture Park.

Those looking to get their steps in can join the beautiful South West Coast Path, where you can catch glimpses of tall granite cliffs, hidden coves and exciting wildlife along the way.

There’s plenty to look forward to during a stay at this striking apartment.

The Sands

The Sands Apartments are a prestigious development of contemporary apartments of various designs, ideally positioned to maximise the views across St Ives Bay and convenient for the Blue Flag accredited Carbis Bay beach.

About the location

CARBIS BAY

St Ives 2 miles ; Hayle 3.5 miles ; Penzance 8.5 miles

Just a short drive from iconic St Ives, the seaside village of Carbis Bay is best-known for its beautiful stretch of pure white sand. With turquoise waters and sheltered conditions, the beach feels almost subtropical and is the perfect spot for a good old-fashioned day by the sea. The beach is also home to the Ocean Sports Centre, so if sunbathing is not really your thing, why not hire a kayak or SUP and get out on the water instead. Or why not treat yourself to a Spa day at the delightful hotel which overlooks the beach and has a fabulous terrace where cocktails can be enjoyed in the Cornish sunshine? Carbis Bay has a small range of local shops and restaurants as well as a fish & chip takeaway and railway branch line. The train journey from Carbis Bay into St Ives is perhaps one of the most beautiful in the country; St Ives additionally makes for a great day out, with plenty of galleries to explore. The quayside town of Hayle also isn't far and is home to activities for the all the family, including a golf and a wildlife sanctuary. The Godrevy Nature Reserve and Penwith Heritage Coast are also within easy reach from Carbis Bay, providing outdoors and watersports plans with even more activities to partake in, including coasteering and birdwatching. Carbis Bay is truly a wonderful holiday location for those wanting to experience Cornwall's breathtaking coastline.

There is a Good Housekeeping Bond of £300 for this property.

Lift access is available. Lift access should not be solely relied upon as if not operational due to maintenance / fault you will need to use the stairs.
