Magnificent sea views of St Ives Bay can be enjoyed from the sitting room. Close to both the bus and rail stations and the many shops, restaurants and galleries, a car is certainly not needed. For those who would like to explore a little further, there is an allocated parking space for one average size car at the rear of the complex.
from the car park there are four external flights of stairs to the communal entrance hall, with door to the apartment, leading into:
double sofa, two armchairs, TV/DVD, dining table and four chairs, sea views over Porthminster beach and to Hayle Towans.

A lovely, clean, and well-equiped front-line flat, 38 Carrack Widden enjoys fabulous views out to sea. It is in a great location, only some 10 minutes walk down to the harbour front, and a little less to Porthminster Beach and theTrain and Bus Stations, with the added benefit of a parking space right outside the property. What more could anyone want!!
Mrs Belfield September 2024
Many of our holiday cottages in Porthminster boast magnificent sea views and are mere moments from the soft sands and turquoise waters of the beach. Whilst the vibrant heart of St Ives harbourside is just a short walk away. Porthminster is perfectly placed for an unforgettable family holiday by the sea. Read more about holidays in St Ives here.
Indulge in lunch with a view at Porthminster Beach Cafe.

We had a wonderful holiday at this beautiful apartment. The view was amazing! Very clean and comfortable too. The parking space was a real bonus, and the location was excellent for the beach and StIves town. We look forward to staying again.
Mrs Hopkinson Aug 2024
38 Carrack Widden is a lovely flat with fabulous views out over Porthminster Beach to Hayle and Godrevy Lighthouse. The flat is clean, tidy, and very well-equipped with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing break. It has the advantage of a parking space right outside the property, which is worth its weight in gold in St.Ives! You can park up and leave the car there until you leave as it is about a 10 minute walk down to the harbour front and a little less to Porthminster Beach, the Bus Station, and the Train Station. Although coming back may take a little longer!!
Mrs Belfield Jun 2024
Excellent location. Good quality accommodation.Convenient car parking on site.Town short walk. Return walk uphill all the way. Plenty of taxis in town if you prefer lift back for the very short ride.
Mr Davies May 2024
This is a really good apartment, comfortable, well maintained and very convenient for St Ives centre. This was a second visit, and we'd be more than happy to stay there again.
Dr Brewer May 2024
38 Carrack Widden was a perfect choice, given that we wanted to be within walking distance of St Ives centre. It was extremely convenient, well maintained, well equipped, and comfortable, matching the description on the Aspects website. I'd not hesitate to recommend the apartment as a great retreat for two, and we shall be returning again shortly.
Dr Brewer Apr 2024
Amazing view of porthminster beach. Short steep walk to the beach and harbour. Immaculate apartment in great location with the bonus of a parking spot (which is a little narrow, but not a problem for us). Very large bed and shower. Lovely kitchen and lounge. Only small issue was that there was no dishwasher so bring your washing up gloves or enjoy the many wonderful restaurants in st ives. Very close to the railway station.
Ms Radley Oct 2023
A lovely flat with a fantastic veiw of the sunrise over Carbis Bay. Good to have parking without too many stairs to the flat. Easy access for buses and trains and Porthminster Beach. Walking back from town is uphill but good for working off that extra cream tea!
Mr Lister Oct 2023
One of the nicest places that we have stayed, and had everything that we needed for a comfortable stay , within easy walking distance of st Ives.
Mr Daws Sep 2023
All as expected will come again ??

Mr Kirkland Nov 2022
Perfect apartment, location, with parking and St Ives although quieter than in summer still had a lively buzz during the day stunning beaches and plenty of lovely food available to sit in or takeaway even the sun was out for the majority of our week in St Ives.
Mrs Meek Oct 2022

Mrs Stone Sep 2022
If you are looking for a beautifully appointed, perfectly equipped flat for your stay in St Ives, STOP HERE you have found it. Truly a 5* property. Parking, views, easy access to get in and out of the town for sightseeing. I would definitely recommend this property.
Miss Rimmer Jul 2022
Just returned from a fantastics weeks holiday in St Ives made even better by our stay at 38 Carrack Widden. The view from the apartment is amazing, you will never be bored of that view!!! The apartment was clean and tidy on arrival. Comfy environment, spacious for 2 guests and not too warm. Really appreciated the card on arrival from the owners - nice touch. Perfect location. We would 100% recommend this apartment to anyone and we would love stay again.
Miss Fisher Jul 2022
A beautifully furnished property in a great location. We have stayed here on several occasions and cannot recommend highly enough.
Mr Wilby Jul 2022
38 Carrack Widden is a very well furnished, clean, and comfortable flat, in a front line position with uninterrupted views of Porthminster Beach, Hayle, and Godrevy Lighthouse. It is in a great location, being only a few minutes walk to the centre of St. Ives and the harbour front and with the added bonus of parking right outside the property. The walk down to the town and back up might be a bit challenging for someone with mobility issues, but, other than that, this is an excellent holiday flat and I would highly recommend it.
Mrs Belfield May 2022
38 carrack widden is so lovely! Comfortable, spacious and extremely clean and modern!
Lots of natural light with the big windows and that view is breathtaking
We had a few evenings in sat in the window having a glass of fizz as it was such a lovely stunning view! We also had most mornings eating breakfast in the window watching the dogs on the beach and the early runners/swimmers
Miss Beard Apr 2022
Had another marvelous stay at 38 Carrack Widden in October. Great apartment, lovely, clean and comfortable. Amazing view. Wish I could live here. Hope to be back soon.
Mrs Britton Nov 2021
Thanks for a memorable holiday, recommended and would return again.
Mr Radovanovic Oct 2021
Stunning apartment with great views overlooking Porthminster beach. Lovely comfy bed, large shower cubical, big screen tv and DVD player. Walking distance to the shops and restaurants. Free off street parking is included. Highly recommend The Cornish Bakery for the best pasties and cream teas and the Harbour restaurant for fish and chips and door step bread and butter. Check out the little cinema is so quirky and tiny.
Mrs Panteli Sep 2021
Easy to use websight. Great property. Reasonably priced. What more could you ask?
Mrs Stacey Sep 2021
Brilliant apartment to stay in for every thing you need and the finish is quality staying here next summer that will be third time in three summers
Mrs Stone Aug 2021
Perfect apartment, beautiful view whatever the weather. Great location with access to town, restaurants & beaches. Bus & train station literally over the road, if want you to venture out. We had a fantastic time
Mrs Alison Aug 2021
A superb apartment, beautifully furnished and extremely comfortable. Incredibly convenient for bars, restaurants and beaches. Excellent value for money.
Mrs Gledhill Aug 2021
If you want to enjoy a quality rental property, where the owners genuinely want others to enjoy their second home, then you won’t be disappointed with number 38 Carrick Widden. Fixtures and fittings are of excellent quality, including the fluffy towels. The bed is super comfy and there’s nothing better than sitting in an armchair with a glass of wine, looking across the sea to Hayle and Godrevy……even if the rain is pouring down! Thoroughly enjoyed our fortnight and hope to spend many more holidays here.
Mrs Sohal Jul 2021
We absolutely loved 38 Carrack Widden. We have used Aspects for all of our St Ives Holidays & can't imagine using anyone else, always fantastic & helpful. The little touch from owners Bob & Norma were lovely, fresh coffee, milk tea & a gorgeous card, really helpful information, even dvds & games to use. The king-sized bed was a dream, parking space right outside a double wardrobe to hang my many outfits but the view of porthminster & over to Hayle was perfect. Thanks so much, look forward to staying again xxx
Miss Hicks Jul 2021
A beautifully furnished flat, which was very clean, well equipped and welcoming. Added bonus an adjacent parking space. Fantastic view - could sit looking out the window all day. Just a short walk into town. Will definitely stay here again. Didn’t want to leave.
Mrs Britton Jun 2021
Great holiday accommodation overlooking beach. Fixtures and fittings of a high standard. Nothing negative .A credit to the owners.
Mr Davies May 2021
38 Carrack Widden is a stunning, comfortable flat with a fabulous view in an excellent location.
We commend the owners for their choice of decor and congratulate the house keeper as the flat is immaculately clean.
We have holidayed with Aspects for 15 years and have never once had an issue as their organisation is top notch.
Mrs McAvinchey Nov 2020
This is the third time we stayed at 38 Carrack Widden and we will definitely be back again. The location is perfect, the view is amazing and the apartment is beautifully kept and very comfortable.
Miss Sutton Oct 2020
A great place to stay, great views. Well placed to all the local amenities and other places to visit. Couldn't fault a thing and would definitely visit again.
Mr Forbes Oct 2020
38 Carrick Widden is a well presented property. Comfortable, well equipped and has great views. Parking is a big plus and convenient for getting out of St Ives if you want to. We have stayed twice now and would stay again. Aspects are responsive and easy to deal with
Mrs Crabbe Oct 2020
Lovely very comfortable apartment which was very clean and welcoming. Beautiful views from large windows overlooking Porthminster beach. Despite St Ives being busy the apartments are quiet and the only noise was the seagulls! Would definitely stay here again. The apartment was well equipped and we had a great week here
Mr Gay Aug 2020
38 Carrack Widden is a lovely flat. It is well positioned, and a quick walk into town. The carpark is a welcome addition although the space for number 38 is a little tight if you have a big car.
Mr Cartledge Jul 2020
38 Carrack Widden is a very comfortable and well furnished apartment in St Ives. Great views and easy parking, an essential for us in St Ives. Gentle walk into town. Bit of a hill coming back. Aspects are very helpful, we have rented through them the last three years. Only a minor problem once and dealt with quickly. We like the fact that we can pick up the keys in Hayle on the way down, without getting involved in the St Ives traffic system and drop off on the way home.
Mrs Crabbe Sep 2019
You won’t be sorry staying here Stunning views from window, clean, comfortable, mod cons & central position.
Mrs Kitson Jul 2019
You won’t be disappointed by number 38 Carrack Widden. The additional, personal touches such as ground coffee and a small gift pack of flavoured tea bags are thoughtful and it is nice that the owners obviously welcome their visitors rather than treating them as cash generators.
Mrs Sohal Jul 2019
This flat is in a great location with a lovely view out to sea. The flat is very comfortable and has a large shower,all the rooms are decorated to a high standard,a flat that makes you feel at home.
Miss Tillsley Jun 2019
We always book our holidays through Aspects and have never been disappointed.
Mr Russell Jun 2019
Perfect base for our holiday in St Ives. In fact, we only used the car once during the whole week. Flat was clean and comfortable. Bed was perfect and led to a perfect nights sleep.
Miss Ranger Apr 2019
We have stayed at several Carrack Widdens over the years, 38 is one of the best, comfortable and spacious with good facilities.
Mr Sanderson Apr 2019
Beautiful views across Porthminster beach. Apartment finished to a high standard. Loved the kitchen. Can easily walk to the harbour within 15 minutes so well located.
Mrs Love Dec 2018
A first class flat which has been decorated and furnished to a very high standard.
Mr Russell Oct 2018
Nice to stay somewhere where the owners are obviously proud of their property and are happy to share it!
Mrs Sohal Jul 2018
Truly beautiful and stunning apartment, this really is a home from home. That view will certainly take your breath away, we could just sit there for hours. We couldn't fault a thing!
Mrs Silcock Jul 2018
We saw the Dolphins!!
Mrs Wassell May 2018
Absolutely lovely property the best we’ve ever stayed in. We were very sad to leave but we hope to return very soon. Couldn’t fault it in any way, we had a very pleasant stay and the view was stunning. Thank you very much.
Miss Gray Apr 2018
We always know we will have a warm and comfortable stay what ever the weather, (including snow).
Mrs Breddy Mar 2018
This property is perfect for a couple looking for somewhere within easy walking distance of the town and harbour with the added benefit of a parking space right behind the property. There are only a few steps to negotiate making the process of arriving and departing straightforward and stress-free. The flat is well-equipped and has the benefit of beautiful views over Porthminster Beach to Hayle and Godrevy Lighthouse beyond. Perfect for a relaxing break - short or long!
Mrs Belfield Oct 2017
Great location, near the beach, apartment furnished to a very high standard, lovely comfy bed, powerful shower, flat screen tv, sofa, great views of the beach, free parking.
Mrs Panteli Sep 2017
We have now stayed at No 38 twice. A lovely, clean and comfortable flat with a truly fabulous view. Right in town, and extremely convenient to a fabulous beach with restaurant and bar. A great location.
Dr Whittock May 2017
We have been coming to Carrack Widden flats since 1985/6 with different agents and different flats, but 38 is the best flat and Aspects are the best agents we have had.
Mrs Breddy Mar 2017
An ideal cottage with everything you need, 300 yards from town. Excellent sea view
Mrs Bennett-Wake Nov 2016
The cleanliness and views from the property (over looking the beach) were exceptional. The property location was just perfect and everything was within walking distance. We had the best time and didn't want to go home!
Mrs Kerry Aug 2016

Mr Wood Jun 2016
Fantastic accommodation! Superb in every way! Couldn't ask for more!
Mr Smith Feb 2016
This property is a little gem in St Ives, it is close to all the lovely quant shops in the town centre, the railway station is really nearby and the trains run regularly and the fares are very reasonable. The bus station is also a stones throw away and there is a good bus timetable. The porthminster beach is literally right in front of the flat and accessible down a flight of steps, best beach in St Ives. Overall a fantastic place to rest relax and breathe in the sea air and eat at the many restaurants St Ives has to offer.
Ms Bourne Oct 2015
