About this apartment rental

Compass Point is a modern and superbly well equipped seaside holiday property located in the prestigious Compass Point complex which has a prime seaward facing position in Carbis Bay and is just a short walk down to the golden sands and clear turquoise waters of Carbis Bay Beach. The surrounding area is dominated by National Trust headlands and dramatic coastal cliff walks with the South West Coastal Path right on your doorstep.

Guests also have easy access to the stunning communal sea terrace of the Compass Point complex which has panoramic sea views towards St Ives harbour in one direction and Godrevy Lighthouse in the other and this allows outside dining and sunbathing. There is also a private car parking space which is big enough for 2 cars which is a very rare feature and the close proximity to the small railway station gives guests the great option of leaving the car and taking the very popular tourist train into St Ives, taking just a few minutes along a single track and which follows a wonderfully scenic path along the coast.

Internally, the first floor apartment has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms which is a rare feature in St Ives and enjoys stunning sea views from the Living area and Master Bedroom across St Ives Bay. Compass Point is beautifully staged to Cornish Tourist Board Standards and will sleep up to 6 guests in total comfort. The Kitchen is extremely well equipped with integrated appliances including a Dishwasher, Washing Machine and very large Fridge Freezer. The dining area and living areas are open plan with a large dining table and 6 chairs and there is a large three seat sofa, two seat sofa and additional sofa chair where guests can really relax and enjoy the sea views. There is a large flat screen television, DVD player, Stereo system, Wifi internet access and a selection of classic board games.

There is a modern family bathroom with a large bath with shower over with an additional en-suite shower room off the Master Bedroom. There are two large double bedrooms with a flat screen TV in the Master Bedroom and in the third bedroom are two single beds.

Outside there is a full patio furniture set provided for the terrace so guests can have their own private area for the duration of their stay (the terrace is a shared space) and a separate storage area which can also be used for bikes and surfboards.

In terms of local facilities, the nearest supermarket is a Tesco which is less than 5 minutes drive away off the main A3074 road into St Ives and where there is a great Costa Coffee with fantastic sea views and which also has free Wifi. There are also banks, hairdressers, a chemist, newsagents and general stores all a short walk away in the centre of Carbis Bay. During the day when on the beach there is a cafe and food outlet as well as a bar within Carbis Bay Hotel.

Please feel free to contact us for addition information of the apartment and also for useful web sites for planning your stay in Cornwall. Compass Point is available all year round and is a great escape destination during the winter months. St Ives is especially popular at both Christmas and New Year and dates can be tailored specifically for your requirements. There is also the St Ives music and arts festival held in September.

Excellent location having parking and the ability to walk down (steep steps or hill) to wonderful Carbis Bay beach or take short train to bustling St Ives with all the shops and restaurants you could need. Wonderful views and a relaxing location but still close enough to visit tourist attractions should you want to. We loved Healeys Cider Farm and visited Eden on journey home. Super clean with everything you could need. I personally would take portable black out blind as curtains are pale but that’s just me. I do feel 9 am is an early exit time with a 4 o’clock entry. Only small negative is if wanting to use outside space it’s a bit of a walk down and round etc if you are not in flat with direct access. Therefore not really somewhere to eat outside as I felt the advert suggests.

Beautiful!!
Beautiful!!
An absolute delight of a property with views to die for! Located just above the train station in Carbis Bay with a very short 3 minute journey into St Ives. The property was well equipped with everything you would require for a nice, relaxing stay. It also had a parking space, which was ideal so you didn't have to worry about driving into St Ives. We would definately recommend this property.

Great location and great views
Great location and great views
Positives The location of the property and parking is great. The train into St Ives is literally round the corner or you can walk into St Ives via the costal path. The beach and the beach facilities (cafe, shop, toilets etc.) at Carbis Bay is perfect, only downside is the walk back up the steep hill! Negatives There are way too many air fresheners in the property, not sure if they are trying to disguise a smell (which we couldn't smell if there was one), but the minute you open the door the smell of air fresheners hits you (smells like an old peoples home, sorry but it does!). The sun terrace sounds perfect when you read the description, but in reality it's not ideal. You need to take the patio furniture out of the apartment, down the stairs and along to the terrace. We did not use this as too much hassle. Overall we had a good holiday as the weather was perfect - just the property was a bit underwhelming

Uncomfortable furniture
Uncomfortable furniture
The property looked lovely the area was lovely the views were amazing. What let it down and would stop me returning was the furniture was so uncomfortable. Not just uncomfortable it has been used so much it is worn out. The mattresses on the beds were awful I could squash it with a finger and a thumb where the springs seemed to be non existent. It was like sleeping on the floor. The beds made a noise every time you moved. I ended up sleeping on the sofa which also had seen better days whilst my wife suffered the bed. The front room furniture looked nice but again due to use there was no comfort due to there being no support in the sofas. I complained to the manager and he did send a thick mattress topper this joined the other 2 on the bed which led me to believe other complaints had been made previously. It was that bad in the end we left for home a day early.
