Way to Fly

  • Sleeps 4
  • 2 Bedrooms
  • 2 Bathrooms

Way to Fly offers the perfect backdrop for a relaxed coastal escape, with sweeping views from two balconies and within walking distance to the beauty of Carbis Bay beach. Ideal for couples and small families, this welcoming apartment brings together a generous open plan living space, two spacious bedrooms, both with expansive sea views and two contemporary bathrooms.


Set on the first floor, the apartment enjoys an elevated position that makes the most of the expansive outlook, while still offering level access from the car park for ease and convenience, ideal if you have young children or a pram. Whether you’re arriving for a summer break, a walking holiday or a restorative weekend away, settling into holiday mode here feels effortless.


Step onto the private balcony from the primary bedroom for a quiet morning coffee with the sea beyond, or gather together on the living room balcony to take in the vistas. From soft sunrise light to golden evening skies, the coastline provides a beautiful and ever-changing backdrop to watch.


Carbis Bay is one of Cornwall’s most beautiful coves, known for its clear turquoise waters, soft golden sands and sheltered feel. Easily reached on foot, it’s perfect for swimming, paddleboarding, beach days and gentle shoreline strolls, with beachside cafés and restaurants adding to the relaxed coastal atmosphere.


Just a short distance away - via the coast path, train, or car - St Ives offers vibrant harbour life, galleries, independent shops and a wonderful choice of places to eat. Wander the narrow streets, visit Tate St Ives, enjoy fresh seafood by the water or spend your days moving between beaches before returning to the calm and comfort of Way to Fly.


Whether Cornwall is new to you or a much-loved destination, Way to Fly is a beautifully positioned base for exploring Carbis Bay, St Ives and the wider West Cornwall coastline. Why not leave your car at home and hop on a Great Western Rail Service from London Paddington that will bring you directly to Carbis Bay with only one change at St Erth, joining the branch line to St Ives.

Very clean, lovely view. Very well prepared for our arrival. We loved that our welcome pack was all sourced in Cornwall.

Step Inside

Way to Fly enjoys a light and airy open-plan kitchen, living and dining area, designed to make the most of its elevated position and relaxed coastal setting. Calm, contemporary and beautifully comfortable, this sociable space is perfect for slow mornings, easy suppers and peaceful evenings after days spent exploring Carbis Bay and St Ives.


A large Nordic grey round table with glass top and French upholstered seated chairs creates an elegant dining spot, making staying in feel wonderfully tempting. Whether you’re enjoying a leisurely breakfast, a simple lunch or a special supper with a view, the space has been thoughtfully styled for relaxed holiday living.


The living area sits beside the balcony doors, with seating perfectly placed to enjoy the outlook and draw in the natural light. Soft herringbone cotton sofas and designer fabrics add texture and comfort, creating a calm place to unwind with a book, a drink or good conversation.


For film lovers, a large LG OLED 4K Smart TV comes complete with Freeview and an Apple TV box, ideal for cosy nights in after sea swims, beach walks or days exploring West Cornwall.


The 2 generous bedrooms offer a choice of a double or king-sized bed, both designed for restful nights and slow holiday mornings. Two tempting contemporary bathrooms complete the apartment, adding comfort, style and ease to your stay.


On Your Doorstep

The beautiful West Cornwall coast is waiting to be explored from your holiday door. From Way to Fly’s plum position in Carbis Bay, wander down to Carbis Bay Beach, a postcard-perfect cove with crystal-clear waters, soft golden sand and Blue Flag status. Sheltered and scenic, it’s a wonderful spot for relaxed beach days, sea swims and time spent simply soaking up the view.


Watersports enthusiasts can take to the sea by kayak or try stand-up paddleboarding, while little ones can splash in the shallows under the watchful eye of seasonal lifeguards. Carbis Bay Beach also offers a beach café, stylish bar and tempting restaurant, making it easy for the whole family to enjoy a full day by the water.


The South West Coast Path is moments away, leading keen walkers across some of Cornwall’s most beautiful cliffs and headlands. Follow the coast towards St Ives for breathtaking bay views, or head towards Porthkidney Sands and Lelant for wide open beaches, estuary scenery and quieter stretches of shoreline.


The branch line train runs along the coastline into the centre of St Ives, so you can leave the car behind and enjoy the short 8-minute journey, often described as one of the most scenic in the country. Arrive ready to wander through narrow streets towards the harbour, soaking up the comings and goings of this unique coastal town.


St Ives is full of colour, creativity and seaside charm. Stylish cafés open their doors for delicious breakfasts, lazy lunches and hearty suppers, while galleries, potteries and studios showcase the landscapes and light that have inspired artists for generations. Curio shops, boutiques and harbourfront restaurants make every stroll feel part of the holiday.


Beach lovers will be spoilt for choice, with Porthminster, Porthmeor and Porthgwidden all offering their own character, from calm swimming waters and beach cafés to Atlantic surf and sunset views.


Day trips are easy from this well-placed Carbis Bay location. Pack up the car and explore west towards Sennen, Porthcurno and Land’s End, follow the north coast towards Godrevy, Gwithian and Padstow, or head south for Fowey, sheltered coves and picturesque harbour towns.
