Overview
One of a small collection of individually owned homes, Horizon Bay occupies a ground floor position in the attractive Victorian Villa of Tremorna House - originally the residence of the St Ives School of Artists. With direct access to the South West Coast Path, St Ives’s culture-infused cobbled streets, lovely harbour and vibrant restaurant scene lie just 15 minutes’ walk away, while Carbis Bay beach is mere metres from the front door, so if you like to hit the water for an early morning swim, you can be breakfast table to sand within minutes.
Light-filled and airy, the apartment’s living room showcases wide sea views from the floor to ceiling triple aspect feature window, and a door leads outside to the large covered veranda where meals can be enjoyed in the fresh air and sunshine. Two bedrooms including an en-suite master with sea views and veranda access, as well as a child’s bunk room to the back of the home and a separate WC, provide ample room for a family of four, and the modern kitchen comes well equipped for home cooking.
Home to the iconic Tate St Ives Gallery and the famous Barbara Hepworth Museum, St Ives is also flanked by three beautiful beaches, so if lazing on the sand and paddling the waves is your idea of the ultimate coastal holiday, you’re in for a treat. The town is also a bit of a 'foodie' destination and is packed with numerous terrific restaurants including the award-winning Porthminster Beach Café.
Nearby, the small village of Lelant overlooks the Hayle Estuary, and boasts a the Duchy’s oldest golf course with views stretching up towards Godrevy Lighthouse. A scenic branch railway line links Carbis Bay and St. Ives with the main London-Penzance line at nearby St. Erth.
Please note that to access the apartment guests must open the gate and walk down the communal path. The apartment is down 23 steps on the bottom left and is sign posted ‘Horizon’.
Due to the steep nature of the access, this property may not be suitable for those with limited mobility

Welcome to Carbis Bay
Carbis Bay holidays have a little bit of everything. There’s a thriving culture scene, the beautiful beaches and of course, plenty of restaurants to keep the foodies happy. This is a destination where you can spend the morning immersing yourself in The Barbara Hepworth Museum, before tucking into a world-class meal with a view you can’t peel your gaze from. Just a short hop on the branch line train from bustling St Ives, Carbis Bay still manages to have its own personality. It’s the perfect place to forget the world, walk the coast path and just enjoy your time together.

It was ok

WeÂ’re a family of 2 adults, 2 kids and we stayed at Horizon Bay for 7 days. The location was great and the views amazing. When we arrived, the sheets were clean and the unit was tidy. Sadly though, it was not very clean and we spent the first two hours of our holiday vacuuming floors and sofas, and wiping down surfaces. At least there was cleaning equipment there and after some watching some videos we searched for on the internet, we were able to figure out how to put the vacuum bag in the machine for it to work properly. While we were doing a clean so we felt comfortable enough, we noticed a ridiculous amount of black mould in the childrenÂ’s room with a bunk bed. The mould was not visible on the walls that were reachable to clean, but sadly all over the other side of the room (where the kids heads lay!). I understand that living by the coast means dampening, IÂ’ve lived by the coast so I understand, but to have black mould growing uncontrollably means that the unit does not get cleaned thoroughly enough for paying guests. Unfortunately I find it too risky booking through Luxury Coastal after this experience.

The location is a dream. The comfort of the beds and the cleanliness, especially in the kitchen and the terrace, can be improved. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our stay.
