Lovely house, nicely presented with good equipment and lots of creature comforts. A local and largish Tesco less than a mile away for everyday basics.
Not a lot in Carbis bay itself by way of good eating pubs or restaurants but it’s an excellent base to travel further afield providing you have a car. You get far more property/value for money by staying the mile and half outside St Ives and using the little local train which is a short, but VERY steep-hill walk away (be warned :)!! The train journey cost £1 each way and takes 3 minutes and is an absolute darling of a journey.
Didn’t try the fish and chips down the road as there was always a massive queue.
All in all a lovely break and we will definitely return

The tradition of Tom Bawcock comes from the feast or famine lifestyle of Cornwall.

One man, Tom Bawcock, dared to take his boat out of the harbour’s safety. He returned with enough fish to make fish pie for the whole village.
Today, a festival takes place each year to celebrate Tom Bawcock's bravery. During the festival, Star Gazey pies are eaten in memory of this famous event.

Mr HOLDER Sep 2020
A fabulous, very comfortable and exceptionally clean property in a wonderful location, just an eight minute walk from the beautiful Carbis Bay beach. Really quiet location with great sea views from most windows. Everything is within walking distance; great coffee, ice cream and food served on the beach and water sports hire also available, tasty fish and chip take away just a ten minute walk away and Tescos on your doorstep. The twenty minute walk to St Ives along the coastal path is also lovely. We had a great week in Seascape and would love to return to this property.
Mrs Chatterton Aug 2020
The property exceeded our expectations. It is very spacious and immaculately presented with everything you could possibly need. The pictures do not do it justice. Amazing sea views from the front and a lovely large back garden
Mrs Caunt Aug 2020
Seascape is such a great location - we often walked to the beach at Carbis Bay or walked to the station and took the train into St. Ives. And the local Tesco was nice and close for picking up groceries and essentials for our stay. This home was loved by the children and adults alike. We would happily return for a future holiday here!
