"If you want to have the best of views this is the apartment to book. Simply stunning!"
Andrea and Michael
"We stayed here first week of July 2019 and as soon as we walked in through to that view we were hooked - it was exactly as it was on the booking page, but this was now live and as perfect a view as it could be - we watched the sea change colour so many times, day through to night, it was so easy to find and the perfect location to explore from, beautifully looked after, comfortable and I don't think we have ever slept so well on a holiday, the welcome pack was such a lovely touch and very much appreciated. Can't wait to come back again, best 'staycation' location in Cornwall."

"We had a wonderful holiday at Ocean Edge during the half term week in May, the accommodation was excellent (and spotlessly clean!!) and the view down to the beach absolutely stunning, we coud have sat looking at the view all day:-)"

“The apartment was top notch as ever, this being our second visit to Ocean Edge. The facilities are excellent and overall cleanliness is of a very high standard.”
A. Newton
“We had a great holiday, accommodation and meeting with the housekeeper were spot on. The accommodation, cleanliness and quality were great but nothing could be as fabulous as the view when you walk into Ocean Edge- amazing.”
S.Offland
“We had a lovely holiday thank you. Ocean edge was perfect. Great location handy for the train to St Ives and what a view - it doesn't disappoint. The apartment is well equipped, very clean and the housekeeper met us as arranged to show us around. This is the second time we have booked our holiday via Carbis bay holidays and we would certainly recommend you to our family and friends. Keep up the good work.”

"We had an absolutely wonderful holiday in the Oceans Edge apartment. The view was breathtaking! Perfect for our needs, it's well equipped and very comfortable. It was beautifully clean. St Ives is the perfect autumn break for us with a family with two teenagers and a toddler. There is something for everyone. We loved being a stones throw away from Carbis Bay Beach, which whatever the weather or time of day, is always beautiful. We enjoyed surfing and super dooper hot chocolates at the Sunset Surf Cafe at Gwithian Beach, Go Karting just outside of Hayle was great too. The drive to New Quay is not too far and we all had a great afternoon at the Sealife Centre. We enjoyed meals in St Ives at Oceans Grill, and Blas Burger. Being so close to the train station was great, saving us the challenges of parking (and meaning we could both have a glass if wine!)."
B. Davis
"We had a wonderful stay in Ocean Edge. It absolutely lived up to our expectations and of course the position capturing the view of the bay was addictive. It had everything we needed and I was delighted it was immaculately clean. We did love Kynance cove and will return there. We also ate twice at Onshore cafe in St Ives with our two boys which we found very pleasant and ideal food for kids and adults alike. The seafood was delicious."
D. Long
"This was our first visit to St Ives and definitely will not be the last. We had a lovely week and Ocean Edge was a great apartment. It is modern, tastefully furnished, clean, has absolutely everything you could need, a wonderful power shower ! and a view you could never tire of - wonderful. We visited Land's End which was worth a visit to say you've done it and St Michaels Mount which was wonderful. St Ives was great and we dined in the Harbour Fish and Chip restaurant and the burger place (can't remember name?) which were both very good. We walked a couple of the easy coastal walks and the scenery is breathtaking so this is a must. "
P. Ball
"We had a wonderful holiday, we found the apartment very modern and comfortable."
S. & N. Mayhew
"We had a really wonderful week in Ocean Edge. It is a beautifully appointed apartment with everything we needed (and more!). The view across the bay was stunning and we really appreciated the patio area, particularly at the end of the day when it caught the late afternoon and evening sun. We ate out a couple of times (La Casita and Porthminster Beach - which were both very enjoyable) but the view from the apartment just couldn't be beaten and we loved dining in too. Walking into St Ives along the coastal path; strolling across Porthkidney Beach; parking over at Godrevy, having breakfast in the beach cafe and walking it off along the beach; relaxing on Carbis Beach enjoying the sun all contributed to a much needed and very welcome break."
