“Key fob entering various gates not easy.”

6 remotes for tv usage complicated. Everything else was very good.

Lucy September 2024

“Excellent stay!”

Great location and apartment and would 100% stay again. In the most part very clean, however the carpets are full of hair which was sticking to all our socks. The WiFi didn’t loaded and the bottom gate to the beach would be better being a code rather than fob so you don’t have to take keys to the beach.

John Gareth September 2024

“We have never stayed anywhere that suited us better.”

Everything was first class. Starting with the very best aspects first, the patio and superb view, very well appointed with good quality throughout, spacious, easy private access to the beach, very secure with easy parking, lovely beach, easy to get to St Ives on foot or by scenic train.

Huw July 2024

“A few disappointing elements, one key fob didn’t work, only one French door would open in both rooms, some stains on crockery, very disappointing welcome pack compared with previous stays- only milk and chocolate buttons, both sofas very tired, cushions stained.”

However, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will provide Babylon return again to a different apartment.

Thank you for taking time to give us feedback after your stay we take all feedback seriously. We shall look into the points you've raised to improve going forward. We hope to see you again in the near future. Kind Regards, Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner
Anna July 2024

“This was in a beautiful location and the views from the property were amazing.”

We could walk to St Ives easily and the beaches were obviously perfect. It was a bit odd being on the ground floor at the back where quite a few people walked, we kept the curtains shut at the back and it was fine. The flat was a great size with really good facilities. It was a shame that the jacuzzi bath didn’t work, it wasn’t advertised as having it but my daughter was disappointed on seeing it that it didn’t work! The main thing we struggled with was the car park, the remote didn’t work and the fob was temperamental. There was also someone in our parking space one day. Overall though it was a lovely place to stay and we had a really good holiday.

“Excellent location and great sea view, really made our holiday.”

Very quiet and relaxing. Beds excellent. Only negative I would give is the curtains in the bedrooms need to have blackout lining. Thank you.

“Unable to get out because lift was broken the whole time during our stay”

- Janice, September 2023

Thank you for your feedback. As per our website, lift access should not be solely relied upon as this is out of our control. We hope to get the opportunity to welcome you back in the future. Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner
Edmund September 2023

“On the positive side Waves is in a beautiful location.”

Perfect for access to St Ives by foot or train , wonderful sea view and close to the beach. Lovely spacious terrace sunny and sheltered. The apartment was spotlessly clean and well equipped. Welcome pack was appreciated. The negative’s were mainly around the poor electrics. The remote fob did not open the main gate. We used the red disc fob but had to go out of the pedestrian gate to operate it when we needed leave the car park. The lift did not work which was an issue when carrying baggage up and down 32 steps. We were not informed of this until the day we arrived. The round fob did not operate the beach access gate so we were unable to use the gate throughout our stay.

- Edmund, September 2023
Amina August 2023

“We enjoyed our stay at Waves, the view is delightful.”

It was lovely falling asleep to the sound of the sea and watching beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The property is well maintained. However the internet was intermittent, but then again if the plan is to be offline, it doesn't matter.

- Amina, August 2023

Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are thrilled to hear that you loved the property and your stay! Thank you so much again for your comments and we hope to welcome you back in the future. Kinds Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner
Mark August 2023

“1st of all the view is epic!”

Enjoyed breakfasts on the decking when weather allowed! Apartment was spotless on arrival, some really nice touches too! Loved the heated towel rails and kitchen facilities were great. 5 min walk to the beach down a zig zag path was ideal, rather than 1 steep path or steps down. Wifi was very good too

Sarah July 2023

“Beautiful apartment with absolutely stunning views of the best of the British coastline.”

Peaceful and quiet with a short walk to the beach. The apartment has everything you need, even buckets and spades, windbreaks and surfboards. We really enjoyed our stay - thank you.

- Sarah, July 2023
Janet May 2023

“We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday.”

The only feedback we’d add is that the main bedroom would benefit from blackout blinds or curtains.

Linda April 2023

“We had a fantastic break.”

The apartment was perfect with stunning views. Listening to the waves at night and watching the swimmers and seals in the morning was just lovely. We visited many places to eat and explored Cornwall which we enjoyed. We will definitely be back.

- Linda, April 2023
Christopher February 2023

“'Waves' at Carbis Bay is in a lovely location and was clean and tidy for our stay with all major facilities provided EXCEPT that the lift was NOT in full working order which does not make things easy when the apartment is on the lower ground floor and the car parking, unloading/loading road is two levels above.”

The alternative is via 4 sets of 8 steps, i.e total of 32 steps. Whilst use of steps is mentioned as a footnote to the 'narrative' the extent should be better highlighted and much earlier in the description and the number of steps mentioned. Also, the Remote Control provided with the apartment keys to open the security gates for vehicles did not work and the 'Proximity Fob' to open the pedestrian gate to the beach road was missing -although when reported this was immediately provided. In the Travel Directions/Key Collection Brief received it emphasised -by way of a paragraph in Capitals/Upper Case - the importance of clearly exhibiting the vehicle parking permit provided. However, nowhere in this brief did it clearly state where/when/how this permit could be accessed/found. This necessitated numerous phone calls to clarify. For 'sun worshippers' in the Summer it should be noted that the apartment faces approximately north east and did not therefore appear to get any direct sun on the decking/patio area. Under the current arrangements, (and not known until you have booked), the keys to the apartment have to be collected from and returned to a location approximately one mile away via a somewhat steep hill - not ideal, especially if arriving by train/without transport. No mention of this in the main/prebooking details. Why are the keys not held in a 'Key Safe' at the property as in most other locations? As regards the facilities inside the apartment: 1. Provision of some coat hooks for coats etc in the hallway inside the main door would be useful. 2. The 'twin' bedroom is quite small with one bed right up against the radiator and window - not ideal. 3. The wardrobe in this twin bedroom was hardly useable because half of it was closed off/secured internally and the other half was being used as a storage area for some surf boards and beach wind breaks etc. 4. Finally the 'standard' of the Welcoming Pack' was not as previously enjoyed at other holiday apartments and left a lot to be desired with no Vino and no makings (i.e. no Scones, Clotted Cream, Conserve), with which to make a Cornish Tea. Would we stay again? Possibly now that we are forewarned but we suggest the details are made clearer and perhaps the location of the key safe for the keys/rc/fob/permits be resited to the property.

- Christopher, February 2023

Thank you for your constructive feedback. We are afraid that the lift is waiting for a replacement button which unfortunately the management company to the development is waiting to arrive. The reason that we put the number of steps in the details to the property as well as a note at the top of the booking page prior to placing the booking, is that unfortunately there are occasions where the lift could become unavailable. The note is to prompt anyone with mobility issues to contact us to ask if there are alternative accommodations where reliance on a lift is not mandatory. We can see that you contacted us on the day after you arrived to say you were unable to locate the fob disk for the beach, so our Property Management team dropped you on the same day, we apologise that your vehicle gate only worked on the first day but we understand you could use the trade button to get your vehicle in and out. The battery in the vehicle fob has now been replaced and is in working order. In terms of your parking permit, you appear to have called prior to your stay to confirm where the parking permit will be left and spoke with a colleague to clarify this. In reference to the key sae location, following your feedback the owners have agreed to move the key safe location to the Property rather than up the road at our office, to make it easier for future guests. The feedback referring to coat hooks and storage for surf boards, the lack of space in the twin bedroom have also been fed back to the owner for consideration of any possible improvements they could make. After the sad closing of Ferrells bakery, where we used to get our cream tea supplies, we had to make a decision of another provider. We chose a Cornish company to provide biscuits for each booking, and the welcome pack also currently includes Apple Juice, Chocolate Buttons, a starter of tea, coffee and sugar and a Jute Bag. There are some owners who offer additional welcome pack items but this is up to each owner’s preference. We hope after addressing the items above that we can welcome you back for another stay in Carbis Bay. Kind regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team. Property Owner
Kirsty November 2022

“We have stayed at Waves before and this is one of the best apartments within the Carbis Beach apartments.”

One tiny comment is the advertising of having full Sky+ is misleading. It has none of the channel subscriptions, so is essentially freeview, it's also the very old Sky Box where you can only record one programme. Fair enough if you don't plan on watching the TV in the evenings. If you do, take your Firestick or watch your streaming on your own device.

- Kirsty, November 2022

Thank you for your constructive feedback. Its great to hear "Waves" is one of your favourite apartments. With regards to the Sky+ we can confirm that the property does offer this exact package, however the owner has advised that there are only a limited amount of channels due to the property only having one satellite so far. I am pleased to inform that the owner has taken your feedback on board and and is now looking into installing a second satellite at the property to ensure that guests can make full profit of the Sky entertainment during their holidays going forward. We apolgise for any inconvenience caused by this during your stay and hope to get the opportunity to welcome you back in the future! With Kind Regards, The Carbis Bay Holidays Team Property Owner
Wilfred October 2022

“Waves is a superbly comfortable & well appointed apartment with an incredible view over the whole of Carbis Bay.”

Every aspect of the apartment exudes quality & attention to detail that one might expect from 5* accommodation. Spotlessly clean & with delightful welcoming touches, we enjoyed our stay here immensely.

Lovely weather, great apartment, beautiful views and the cobwebs blown off! A stunning beach ideal for our 7 year old. Great memories made building sandcastles, creating dams, bodyboarding and swimming alongside the seals. Thank you Waves, we hope to return in the future.

“What an amazing place!”

This is our 25th Wedding Anniversary Celebration break for just the two of us and it could not have been more perfect!! This apartment is absolutely beautiful with the most special view from the private decking. Our daily walks along the beach and paddling in the cool crystal clear seawater was idyllic. We recommend: • The walk to St Ives and back. • Train journey to St Ives or St Erth and onto Penzance for shops. • Carbis Bay Hotel (delicious crab risotto – beach restaurant). • Breakfast bagels in St Ives harbour • Porthminster Beach – saw the seals swimming. • Portggwidden Beach Café Bar – lovely on the beach • The Loft Restaurant – seafood chowder can recommend • The Host restaurant, St Ives • Pednolva Hotel (revisited after 18 years) Big thank you to all people who rent this apartment! People who look after this apartment and look after the décor and attention to detail – so clean!! Thank you all xx

“Wonderful stay in Waves.”

Very well kitted out apartment with of course stunning views! Seals in the bay every day and as a special treat a pod of dolphins! Walks along the South West Coast Path, visiting St Ives, circular Zennor walk, all with their own charm and all walks challenging and rewarding. We take away peace tranquility and super memories.

“Would highly recommend this apartment.”

It really was a home from home and with 2 year old twins was far less stressful than expected due to the facilities provided. A few minutes walk to the beach and the train station, great views. Will hopefully be back next year.

“Absolutely lovely.”

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay even though it was late November in Cornwall. Beautiful apartment - all needs catered for and very comfy beds! One small comment - a rubber mat may be a useful optional extra for any elderly guests in the shower. Yes love to return but can see it’s rather popular !

“"We were delighted with the apartment, the fittings, the artwork and the sea view.”

Spotlessly clean and a big plus was the Netflix facility. Access to and from the beach and coastal paths was spot on. The lift serving the apparent block was tempermental on occasions. Overall a brilliant stay and highly recommended."

“"Waves exceeded all our expectations and was perfect for a couple like ourselves with mobility problems.”

It was spacious, furnished to a very high standard, with great attention to detail, and spotless. None of those annoying little omissions which you usually have on rental properties, for example adequate room lighting. The views from the veranda were spectacular and the location so convenient, with a short walk down to the quiet blue flag beach." Chris Grayson

“"We had a really fantastic holiday in Waves.”

The apartment was everything we expected, and then some, and the views were simply outstanding! The apartment was spotless when we arrived, very well equipped and it had absolutely everything we could possibly have wanted for our holiday. The train into St Ives and St Erth is a must and it is so convenient not having to struggle to find parking. I am sure we did the same things as many of your other guests, trips to St Mawes, Mevagissey, Portreath, Porthcurno etc etc. The Eden project was stunning and we especially liked the Mini golf at Porthminster . Restaurant-wise we tried the Porthminster Beach Café, Waves (how appropriate) and The Seafood Café, all which we thoroughly enjoyed. Beck's fish and chips are also a must (if only they opened on a Monday!). We enjoyed ourselves so much at Waves we asked to extend our stay by four days and this was dealt with very swiftly by your team and we were delighted to be able to stay on. Our whole experience has been a joy, we hope to come and stay at Waves again later on this year." J. Jackson

“"Waves is very well finished indeed and what lovely views; so relaxing.”

Spotlessly clean and so well provided for that we really wanted for nothing. We didn’t stray far but enjoyed St Ives and Carbis Bay as well as visiting St Michael’s Mount. I enjoy my seafood and so was very impressed with the standards in all places we visited. The Ocean was good from memory and we also enjoyed the Porthminster Beach Café for a quiet night for two. Very impressive. On the takeaway front you simply cannot beat Beck’s. I don’t believe I have had better fish and chips. Boat trip to see the seals was good but having young children it was the beach that was the main attraction and they are all very good." Anon.

“"My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful holiday, Waves lived up to expectation, we travelled by train and this is probably the most well appointed self catering accommodation we have rented in the UK.”

I was staggered by the variety of kitchen utensils etc and the whole place was spotless. Out and about we walked to St Ives many times and also to Lelant Saltings - warm welcome and cup of tea at the old station. We booked a day trip to the Scillies with Oates Travel and caught the train to Penzance to see the Olympic torch and then caught up with it again in Marazion. There was also a very warm welcome at the local church over the railway line and up the hill. Then there was the food festival and the farmer's market and the variety of shops and the views.....! . In terms of eating out: Porthminster Beach Restaurant, Sea Food Cafe, Harbour Fish & Chips, Porthmeor Cafe Bar, Becks Fish & Chip Cafe. Other visits to, I should Co Co,The Allotment Deli, Moomaid Ice Cream Zennor - could go on and on!" J. Eden

It was a real pleasure to stay somewhere with that level of fixtures and fittings / beds / towels / view etc. The coastal walk to Lelant Saltings, returning on the train, was beautiful. The fish and chips from the Balancing Eel were fantastic. Having a bbq on Porthmeor beach watching the sun set over the sea is an excellent idea. The carvery at the Badger Inn in Lelant was great.

We managed to get on the beach most days and travelled around visiting different places around St Ives. We loved Tate St Ives and were lucky to go on a Sunday when it was their family day. Reuben, our three year old, also loved Paradise Park. In terms of restaurants we particularly loved Porthminster cafe, followed by Alba and Blas Burgerworks.

“"We had a fantastic holiday thanks!”

The weather that week was superb and we were on the beach everyday. Everything was perfect - the accommodation was spotless and we were met by the housekeeper on arrival who showed us around. I must admit Waves really is 5 star - the views from the apartment are breathtaking and inside everything is well maintained and "as new". I'm sure we werent, but it felt like we were the first people to have our holiday there! Lovely fluffy white towels, gorgeous bed linen, a spa bath, a well stocked kitchen - what more could we ask for! As to activities - well Sennan Cove is a must at sunset - we got some fantastic photos of the views. The seals at Godrevy Point were good as well - I would recommend this walk with a pair of binoculars! The beach is lovely there too. " C. Cleaveland

“"Hi - overall we were very impressed with Waves and would defenitely stay again.”

The view was amazing and the apartment was spacious and very well equipped. Kids loved the Wii and the jacuzzi bath which we weren't expecting! We particularly liked picking mussels off the rocks at low tide and cooking them for dinner. Kids thought that was fantastic. They also liked Paradise Park(!!). Porthminster Cafe was fab as usual and the fish and chip shop on the main road in Carbis Bay was great. We went to a lovely beach on the north shore which I can't remember the name of now (past turn off to St Michaels Mount) but they had a fantastic cafe in a shack just by the beach which did evening BBQ's in their garden and had people playing live music. Great service and organisation." M. Whitehead

The property

Located on the ground floor, Waves is an aptly named apartment as you can hear the delightful sound of the water lapping on the beach below.

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.
