A beautiful apartment,spotlessly clean & very comfortable. The area is easy to explore using the train from Carbis Bay or park at St Erth to enjoy rides on the beautiful branchline. Expect hills as Carbis Bay is built on a steep hillside but the views from this apartment are tremendous So much to explore for all ages & all close by.

This is our third stay at Sea Fever which speaks volumes - very well equipped apartment with sea views, a fabulous safe sandy beach with turquoise waters just down the hill and the scenic railway just yards away for easy travel into nearby St Ives which is also accessible by foot - all in all a perfect location for a very relaxed holiday. Would highly recommend and will definitely go back for a fourth visit!

This was our second stay in Carbis Bay at this property and intend to stay again. Welcoming staff, great location, spacious comfortable property and spotlessly clean. Well done Aspects!
Mrs Thomas March 2018
We love this apartment so much this is the second year we have stayed here, and we are planning on coming back again next year. It is the perfect location. We love the sea view from the apartment. It is a quick walk to Carbis Bay beach and the train station and such easy access to the coastal paths. The apartment is very spacious and gets lots of natural sunlight. Feels like home away from home for us
Ms De Goede July 2017
A lovely well equipped flat with fabulous views towards St Ives one way and Hayle and Godrevy the other. We were greeted with the ingredinets to make tea, coffee and biscuts and there was a vase of fresh red roses on the hall table.
The lounge and bedrooms were a good size, both with fitted wardrobes and drawers. There were also games, books and jigsaws for rainy days and buckets and spades, fishing net and surf board for sunny ones.
There are quite a lot of steps down from parking area and more upto flat but Carbis Bay and St Ives is very hilly so anyone with mobility problems should seek further advice before booking. There is a very good train service which is a 5 minute walk from the apartment.
Mrs Collins June 2017

Reply from Aspects Holidays
We are so sorry that you experienced noise from the apartment above. I don't believe that this has been an issue there before, but with differing guests in the apartment each week, we would hope that what you experienced was a one-off. It sounds like you enjoyed everything else about it, so we hope that this didn't take the shine off it for you. Tanya, Customer Services.
Lovely apartment. Light, spacious and well equipped. It has the most beautiful ocean views. Great location with a quick, easy walk to the beach. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to come back
Ms De Goede July 2016
