Westhome

Westhome is set within the quieter residential area of Carbis Bay, offering a serene base away from the bustle of St Ives while keeping the coast beautifully close. Arrive into the hallway and step through to the open-plan living and dining space, where cool coastal hues, considered décor and a relaxed sense of style instantly set the tone for your stay.

The living room offers ample seating for everyone, whether sinking into the comfortable sofas or curling up on the lounger after a day on the coast. For windswept winter escapes, the crackling log burner and underfloor heating create the cosiest of settings, perfect for slow mornings, film nights and lazy afternoons indoors.

The dining area is made for easy holiday living, with a table that can be dressed to impress for special suppers or kept casual for lunches on the go, early family teas and long breakfasts before beach days. Just off the dining room, the smart modern fully fitted kitchen provides a stylish and practical space for preparing everything from relaxed snacks to Cornish-inspired feasts.

On the ground floor, a king-bedded room with ensuite bathroom and private doors to the veranda offers a peaceful retreat with direct access to the outside space. A separate ground floor shower room is perfectly placed just off the hallway, ideal after sandy walks, sea swims or days spent exploring.

A small snug room provides a quiet breakout space away from the main living area, perfect for children to enjoy a favourite board game, get creative with the basket of Lego or settle down for a little downtime while adults relax nearby.

Climb the central staircase to the first floor, where the wonderful primary bedroom with super king bed awaits alongside a charming twin bedroom. The family bathroom is no less considered, adding a touch of luxury to your post-surf pamper and completing the home’s generous, family-friendly layout.

A beautiful spacious veranda stretches across the front of Westhome, set against the backdrop of ever-changing coastal views. Throw open the double set of glass doors from the living area and let the outside in, creating an effortless flow for sunny mornings, relaxed afternoons and golden-hour evenings by the sea.

Dine in style al fresco as the sun sinks into the bay below, or simply settle with a drink and watch the colours shift across the West Cornwall coastline. To the rear of the house, a raised lawn area with a considerately positioned garden bench and further dining table invites guests to discover their own secret sundowner spot.

The garden has been thoughtfully landscaped using local materials and plants, with only organic pesticides used, creating a considered outdoor space that feels beautifully connected to its coastal surroundings.

Carbis Bay is one of Cornwall’s most sought-after coastal spots, loved for its calm, turquoise waters and soft golden sand. Sheltered and scenic, it’s ideal for swimming, paddleboarding and relaxed beach days, with beachside cafés, restaurants and watersports on hand. The coastal path from Carbis Bay offers breathtaking walks in both directions, whether heading towards St Ives with its sweeping bay views or out towards the quieter sands of Porthkidney and Lelant.

St Ives, just moments away, is a vibrant harbour town brimming with charm and creativity. Wander through narrow cobbled streets lined with independent boutiques, artisan bakeries and galleries, including the renowned Tate St Ives and Barbara Hepworth Museum. The harbour is the heart of the town, where fishing boats come and go and you can enjoy everything from fresh seafood to simple fish and chips by the water.

The town is also home to a collection of beautiful beaches, each with its own character, from the calm, palm-lined shores of Porthminster to the surf of Porthmeor and the sheltered sands of Porthgwidden. Whether you’re swimming, surfing, gallery hopping or simply soaking up the atmosphere, St Ives offers something for every pace of holiday.

Hop on the branch line train as it hugs the coastline into St Ives, a short but unforgettable journey often described as one of the most scenic in the country. From here, the wider West Cornwall coastline unfolds, with easy day trips to St Michael’s Mount, Penzance, Sennen and Land’s End.

Westhome is no ordinary holiday home. With thoughtful style, generous open-plan living and beautiful outdoor spaces, it welcomes guests to relax, reconnect and enjoy this very special corner of Cornwall.
