A great stay!

We enjoyed the week very much. There was an excellent view from the living room to Carbis Bay supermarket in walking distance possibility to have a walk to St. Ives … and very helpful recommendations and hints from our host. In a nutshell: we had a relaxed time!

Great location with lovely sea views

Decent space for a family to holiday. We mainly self catered. A little restricted on cooking utensils but otherwise the kitchen was well equiped, clean and modern. Comfy sofas and beds and clean, modern bathrooms. Tesco just up the road - very convenient. Beach a 10 minute walk away - perfect. St Ives 35 minute walk. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. enjoyed .

A lovely renovated house in the perfect location for walking to Carbis Bay Beach and into St Ives. We would highly recommend!!! The host was also wonderful and took extra measures to make sure we had everything we needed. We miss it already!!! Overall a Fabulous experience!!!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The property is in a great location and has plenty of potential, but unfortunately it didn't meet the standard we expected for the price.During our stay we experienced maintenance and housekeeping issues, including an overflowing outdoor bin that wasn't emptied until towards the end of our holiday, leaving us with nowhere to dispose of our rubbish. One of the bedroom blinds was faulty, making it difficult to sleep, and the outdoor seating was only suitable for two people despite the property accommodating a larger group.The driveway is suitable for 1 car and like many properties in the area fairly steep, but ample street parking.To their credit, Finest Retreats were responsive to our messages and did offer a partial refund after our stay. However, several of the issues remained unresolved while we were there, which impacted our overall experience.With better maintenance and attention to detail, this could be an excellent holiday property.

Views to die for

I stayed here with my husband, mother and sister (poor hubby 😂). What a beautiful house we loved it the views were amazing and it was so peaceful, We all had a room each lovely and comfy beds and a bonus of a smaller room which we used for doing our hair. The kitchen is beautiful everything you could ever need, the bathrooms were lovely too and a amazing comfortable spacious living room. We had taxis to St. Ives which varied from £6-8 it was cheaper than getting the bus. Tesco is a easy walk away and you have a pub a bit further down. Would love to stay here again hopefully soon and thank you Harry.

Lovely Carbis Bay

We had a lovely time at Michel. The weather was not great, at best, but we could retreat to the living room with a view and watch the ocean and the cloud formations change. Great to be able to walk to a Tesco and to The Bean Inn - very pleasant place to eat especially for my husband who is vegan. The mattress in the main bedroom upstairs (also with a view) probably needs to be replaced. We needed to turn the heating and hot water on twothree times a day because it only stayed on for max 3 hours at a time. Kitchen and bathrooms were well set up. Was great to be able to walk downhill into St Ives and to get the bus back.
