Bay Dream - just 15 minutes' walk from Carbis Bay Beach
Bay Dream is a beautifully refurbished self-contained annexe in Carbis Bay. Fully equipped and ideally positioned, it's the perfect base from which couples and families can explore the coastal towns and beaches of St Ives Bay including Carbis Bay, St Ives, Lelant and Hayle which are all within either a short walk or short drive from the property.
Situated on a quiet residential street above Porthrepta Beach (Carbis Bay), this tastefully styled property has everything you’ll need for a restful and relaxing stay. There’s a lovely open plan living space where you’ll be able to unwind after sun-soaked beachy days, and a dining area for sharing meals or discussing the day’s plans over a coffee or glass of wine. The stunning kitchen comes amply equipped for rustling up home feasts but for guests who prefer dining out, restaurants like La Casita and The Cornish Arms are within minutes of the property.
The gorgeous separate bedroom with comfortable king size bed has its own flat screen TV, and the clean and contemporary bathroom which features a large walk-in shower, has a thoroughly designer-like edge to it as well as top-notch fittings throughout. Crisp white on the walls contrasts the deep blues and black of cabinetry and upholstery to create a superbly stylish space, and together with the quality of the facilities provided as well as its private outside space, makes this property a dream find.
Nearby Carbis Bay Beach is a 15-minute walk or 3 minutes’ drive away and here you’ll discover one of the most beautiful crescents of white sand and turquoise water in all of Cornwall. Spend the day relaxing on the beach, or if you fancy something a little more active, grab a paddle board or kayak from its beach-based surf school and take to the water for your own little adventure. The coast path from here to St Ives showcases some rather spectacular views over the bay, and being an easy 1.9km with very gentle ascents means it’s the perfect way for the whole family to enjoy the fresh sea air and wonderful scenery. For something slightly less energetic, Carbis Bay’s single-track railway on the St Erth line follows the same dramatic path along the coast and offers passengers a unique vantage point of St Ives Bay and beyond.
We ask our guests for a £100 good housekeeping bond, which is pre-authorised against your card. This is in case there is any damage to the property during your stay. The money is simply reserved and then released afterwards if there is no claim. We will contact you nearer the time of your arrival to arrange this.
2 pets accepted: Please advise the Luxury Coastal team directly if you would like us to host your pet after completing your booking. A charge of £40 per pet per stay/week will be applicable and required before your stay. We will arrange and invoice with you directly upon booking confirmation.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a coffee maker, an ironing board, and a dining table.

Carbis Bay not Bay Dream?
Poor quality mattress and bedding which was disappointing given the cost of the accommodation.
Location details ambiguous: property is on the main road, next to a bus-stop and post box, so lots of stop/start traffic.
A nod to Christmas would have been nice as this was last w/e before Chridtmas.
Well-appointed, but didn't try cooking a meal.
