About this property
This wonderful, first-floor apartment, Azure, is perched on the coast in Carbis Bay, Cornwall. The perfect place to come for a romantic getaway, the beach is a short walk away, and an array of picture-postcard towns can be found close by, peppered along the coast. Upon arrival, you'll be happy to come across a permit parking spot, where you can park up before venturing upstairs to your couples' retreat! Make your way inside to find an open-plan living space that has been decorated with contemporary furnishings and fittings, which is evident when it comes to the kitchen; the space features sleek, white units with a glossy finish alongside an array of integrated appliances. After preparing a delicious meal here, enjoy it over at the dining area, which features a handy fold-away table, helping to maximise the space. After tucking into a dinner for two, why not head out to the balcony and savour those sea views before retiring to the sofa and enjoying your favourite show on the Smart TV? When sleep calls, head to the double bedroom, a space enjoying a coastal theme throughout, alongside sea views and access to a well-presented shower room. Completing the apartment building's facilities is a communal drying area, helping to keep your clothing fresh with ease during your break. Get to know your surroundings by taking a short walk into the village, where a range of attractions await, such as the delightful sands of Carbis Bay Beach with its hotel & spa and access to the South West Coast Path as well as with the pretty Steeple Woodland Nature Reserve; after soaking up these sights, be sure to reward yourself with a pint at The Cornish Arms! For a day packed with vibrancy and art, venture to the neighbouring town of St Ives, home to the fascinating galleries of Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum, along with being home to the pristine sands of Porthminster and Porthmeor. Travel to Hayle for the day, where plenty of fun can be had at the Paradise Park and JungleBarn, RSPB Hayle Estuary and Hayle Beach. For more fun, be sure to visit more of the region's lovely settlements, including Penzance and Marazion; just to name a couple! Choose Azure for a memorable getaway for you and your loved one.

Everything worked well and was of a very high standard, it was well equipped with a lovely welcome pack of bread, butter and milk. There was a parking space and plenty of buses nearby. We would definitely like to stay again.

Very well situated for exploring Carbis Bay, St Ives and the surrounding area (train station and bus stops are a short walk from the property). The property was clean, comfortable and well appointed. The welcome hamper was very much appreciated on arrival. You can just glimpse the sea from the balcony, Carbis Bay beach is beautiful and worth a visit with good walks and excellent views. Communication from the owner was excellent and the quick phonecall prior to our arrival was a lovely gesture. Would absolutely recommend a stay as Azure and will be back. Thank you

The welcome pack was a lovely touch and very much appreciated. Thank you Our only criticism would be the shower fixed head for water flow and no where for you to put your shower gel shampoo etc. in the shower . But this would not put me off staying there again just an observation.
