The property is frequently described as clean and well-maintained, indicating a high standard of cleanliness that guests appreciate.
The location is highly praised for its fabulous views and proximity to local attractions, with the added bonus of wildlife sightings. The steep walk to the beach is noted, but the availability of a train to nearby beaches mitigates this concern.
The property is regarded as very comfortable, with a good-sized lounge, great bedrooms, and bathrooms. The comfort is slightly impacted by weather-related issues, but this does not significantly detract from the overall experience.
The apartment is well-equipped and clean, but some small damp patches and a 'tired' shared porch area suggest room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

If you can tear yourself away from 4 Pentown Court then you will find yourself on the doorstep of the gorgeous Carbis Bay which is known for its white, sandy beach and is the perfect spot for a day at the beach so make sure to pack a picnic, or if you fancy something a bit more adrenaline-fuelled then take your pick of watersports which are extremely popular in the area. You can walk down the South West Coastal Path from the communal garden gate to St Ives or Lelant, stopping at Hawkes Point to take in the seaside scenery or take a stroll into Carbis Bay where you can stock up on any kitchen essentials, or treat yourself to some traditional fish and chips? Visit nearby St Ives while you are here which is great for a day out with loads of independent shops, boutiques, galleries (including Tate St Ives) and eateries to explore. St Ives is around a 30 minute walk away, along the scenic coast path. 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. Great family activities to do while you are in the Carbis Bay area include Paradise Park and Jungle Barn, Coast 2 Coast Karting and Trevaskis Farm with beaches to visit including Porthmeor, St Ives Bay, Porthminster and Gwithian Towans.

The beachfront community of Carbis Bay, which is only a short drive from famous St. Ives, is well-known for its stunning stretch of fine, white sand. The beach feels almost subtropical with its turquoise seas and protected surroundings, making it the ideal location for a traditional day by the sea. If sunbathing is not really your thing, why not rent a kayak or stand-up paddleboard (SUP) and venture out on the water instead? The Ocean Sports Centre is located on the beach. Or why not treat yourself to a spa day at the charming hotel that has a gorgeous patio where you can sip cocktails while enjoying the Cornish sunlight and views out onto the beach? Together with a takeout serving fish and chips and a railway branch line, Carbis Bay features a limited selection of neighbourhood stores and eateries. One of the most picturesque train rides in the nation takes passengers from Carbis Bay to St. Ives; St. Ives itself is a wonderful day trip destination with a variety of art galleries to see. There are family-friendly activities nearby, including golf and a wildlife sanctuary, in the quayside town of Hayle. Easily accessible from Carbis Bay, the Godrevy Natural Reserve and Penwith Heritage Coast offer even more opportunities for outdoor and watersports enthusiasts to engage in activities like coasteering and birdwatching. For anyone looking to enjoy Cornwall's stunning coastline, Carbis Bay is undoubtedly a fantastic holiday destination.

Walking down the garden path and directly onto the coastal path is an excellent advantage. All facilities provided and very comfortable. Would love to come back sometime.

The views are magnificent and Carbis bay beach is stunning. Just be warned itâs a steep walk down and back up to the beach but the train can take you in 5 mins to the more accessible Porthminster beach in St ives. Equally stunning. Just a few steps there!
