Soft Rock airy beach retreat - by Purely Cornwall
Soft Rock is a spacious and well-positioned coastal apartment in the heart of Carbis Bay, perfect for families, couples or friends seeking a relaxed Cornwall escape. Sleeping up to four guests, the apartment features a comfortable king-sized bedroom and a second bedroom with twin beds — ideal for children or additional guests.
Light and welcoming, the apartment offers a comfortable home-from-home feel, thoughtfully arranged to help you unwind after days by the sea. From parts of the property, you can catch a glimpse towards St Ives Bay between neighbouring buildings — a gentle reminder that the beach is just moments away.
The open-plan living and dining area provides a relaxed space to gather, while the fully equipped kitchen makes self-catering simple and convenient. Private parking is included, offering stress-free access throughout your stay — a real advantage in this popular seaside location.
Soft Rock is just a few minutes’ stroll from the golden sands of Carbis Bay Beach, known for its turquoise waters and calm swimming conditions. The Carbis Bay Hotel and spa are also within easy walking distance for beachside dining or a touch of indulgence.
Carbis Bay train station sits conveniently nearby, offering a scenic coastal rail journey into St Ives in just a few minutes — one of the most picturesque train routes in the UK. Explore independent shops, galleries, harbour views and excellent seafood restaurants with ease.
Whether you’re planning beach days, coastal walks along the South West Coast Path, or simply a peaceful break by the sea, Soft Rock provides a comfortable and perfectly located base for your Cornwall holiday.
Clean, spacious and ideally situated — your Carbis Bay retreat awaits.

About the area
St Ives
Located in St Ives, this apartment is next to a golf course and by the ocean. While the natural beauty of Carbis Bay Beach and St. Michael's Mount can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can explore St Ives Harbour.
St Ives Society of Artists and St Ives Museum are also worth visiting. Jet skiing and kayaking offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with horse riding and hiking nearby.
