Sleeping four in two comfortable bedrooms, its idyllic for a family or couple wishing to enjoy the quintessential Cornish vibe of St Ives, visiting local galleries, boutique shops and restaurants.

The large bay windows in the sitting area showcase the uninterrupted views, spanning St Ives Bay to Godrevy Lighthouse. This wonderful Cornish vista is enjoyed throughout the living area.

Both rooms are located at the rear ensuring a quiet and peaceful night. A seaward facing patio and communal gardens are accessed from the side of the property. Two tables, each with four chairs, and a garden bench are well placed to allow you to make the most of this beautiful outlook and dine alfresco from sunrise to sunset. The wonderful SW coast path circles Cornwall and is accessed from the end of the communal garden. A 20 min walk from Carbis Bay Beach takes you into St Ives or the golden sands of Gwithian in the other direction. Alternatively hop on at the nearby station for one of the most scenic train journeys in the country. It connects St Ives and its surrounding area. Rosevear offers a fabulous base for a luxury family beach holiday or a romantic retreat, which we think you’ll want to revisit again and again.
Carbis Bay is a popular tourist destination due to its stunning white sand beach and proximity to the famous town of St. Ives. The beach is the ideal place to spend a classic day at the beach, with its turquoise waters and sheltered conditions making it feel almost subtropical. If lounging in the sun isn't your thing, the Ocean Sports Centre is located right on the beach, so you can rent a kayak or stand-up paddleboard and enjoy the sea instead. Alternatively, you might enjoy a day at the spa in the boutique hotel that has a beautiful terrace where you can sip cocktails while taking in the Cornish sun. Along with a fish and chip takeout and a railway branchline, Carbis Bay is home to a selection of local stores and restaurants. One of the most scenic rail rides in the country is from Carbis Bay to St. Ives.

It's a lovely place in a great location with views over the bay. The property itself is well maintained and really well equipped. On arrival it was spotlessly clean. Spending the evenings sat in the lounge watching TV with great views over towards St Ives is hard to beat. A short walk and you are on the beach plus an easy walk into St Ives should you wish. A lovely property.

It is well furnished with just about everything you need for a stay, the views over Carbis Bay are superb. Many hours sat looking out over the bay from the window seat plus from the communal garden. Access to the beach is excellent and just a few minutes away. This property is well maintained and a credit to the owners, who clearly take some pride in the place. On arrival it was spotlessly clean and everything was as described. A great apartment.
