    I really can't think of anything that could have been better.

    The property was lovely, everything we could possibly need was provided, plus a couple of small thoughtful gifts. The host made the property available early as there was no-one there the night before. There were just 2 pages of short clear instructions about the things we needed to know, none of the usual pages of tasks to be done before leaving that you usually get in self-catering accommodations. The whole experience was easy and end enjoyable. There is a lovely Spanish restaurant 3 minutes walk away and a bus stop almost outside the door.

    Felt a bit clinical at first as the decor is white - until we discovered the fireplace! Also nice under-cupboard light in the kitchen lends colour. Lighting in the open plan kitchen and living area can be adjusted to create a cosy mood. Basically, there was nothing we didn't like!

    Great communication with Andrew the owner. Convenient location and parking, ground floor easy access. Very comfortable bed and sofa, well-equipped kitchen. Patio doors and outside seating. Delightfully quirky fireplace which is also very efficient if you need warmth. Spacious, quiet and spotless. Short walk to bus stop for St Ives, I recommend taking the frequent buses rather than driving and parking in town as the car parks are tricky to find and expensive. Local shops in Carbis Bay for basics, a few restaurants and takeaways and a large Tesco nearby. The welcome pack of Cornish tea and coffee, fresh milk and delicious Cornish biscuits was much appreciated. Would definitely stay here again.

    No big downsides.

    The property was modern, clean and comfortable. Often I don’t like to put my bare feet on the floor when I am away but here I felt totally at home. I even used the blanket which was folded over the sofa which would usually be a big no for me. A few supplies were very welcome. How often is a pint of milk left in the fridge for you? I felt very welcomed and cared for by these small touches. My messages from Andrew were pleasant and I was left entirely to myself which was perfect. Also there was loads of piping hot water which made for a great shower

    Downfall 15 minutes walk to beach which is quite steep. But beautiful beach once there

    Stayed for 6 nights for our Anniversary and a birthday the apartment was absolutely beautiful. Everything was there what was needed and apartment was clean and everything modern and outstanding. There was a welcome pack and some goodies left for us. We ran out of coffee pods and Andrew was on hand to help which we really appreciated. We will be returning in the near future. Thankyou Andrew

    Lovely apartment, spotlessly clean and had a cute little Juliet ground floor balcony. Bed was comfy with good quality bedding. Fabulous location 10 mins to train station and a lovely coastal walk to St iIves town taking no more than 35 mins on a slow walk. Train takes just 6 minutes to St Ives for those not wanting to walk. Carbis Bay beach is beautiful pure white sand no litter at all and dogs not allowed on the beach until after 6pm. There is a lovely bar/ restaurant with panoramic sea views where you can have a coffee or a glass of wine/beer, G&T etc. lovely food menu also. We also visited a lovely Spanish restaurant just steps from the apartment to celebrate my partners birthday. Would definitely recommend this apartment for couples wanting a quiet , relaxing & romantic break away. The host was so accommodating and answered all of my questions promptly and happily Loved our welcome pack it was so kind & thoughtful. Thank you Oceano you were incredible and we felt so comfortable & welcome. Everything was easy from entering the property Using a lock box and safe secure parking in front of the building !
