Boasting fantastic sea and beach views from its garden patio, this family-friendly retreat is just a short stroll from the beach, local shops, and restaurants, offering an ideal escape for families or friends. Please note: while the apartment is on the ground floor, access is via a hill and steps, which may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility. Upon entering the property, you will be greeted by a charming utility room with a washing machine and a tumble dryer, which combine to make a sun room.

As you move further in, you will find the spacious super-king-size bedroom, which can be converted into a twin room upon request, complete with an en-suite featuring a walk-in shower, basin and WC for your convenience.

The dining area seats six, providing a sociable space for family meals or game nights. If you fancy a quiet night, there is a plethora of books available to choose from.

A shop and a pub are both on your doorstep for any essentials or a drink out.

When you manage to tear yourself away from the comforts of Moonrakers, the surrounding area lures you with an array of sights and attractions. Visit the family-friendly Paradise Park and JungleBarn Cornwall to meet exotic birds and other animals, or journey into artistic interests at Tate St Ives. Savour sandy afternoons at the nearby Porthgwidden Beach or hop on a boat to explore the atmospheric St Michael's Mount with its enchanting castle. In the balmy weather, take a dip in the sea-fed Jubilee Pool or admire the beautifully maintained National Trust-owned Trengwainton Garden. Travel a little further afield, to stand on the very edge of England at Land’s End, relish a captivating performance at the open-air Minack Theatre imbued with dramatic coastal scenery, or uncover the hidden gem that is Nanjizal Bay, a magical, lesser-trodden cove.

Every day promises a fresh adventure whilst staying at Flat 2, Moonrakers in the magnificent Carbis Bay.

Just a short drive from iconic St Ives, the seaside village of Carbis Bay is best known for its beautiful stretch of pure white sand. With turquoise waters and sheltered conditions, the beach feels almost subtropical and is the perfect spot for a good old-fashioned day by the sea. The beach is also home to the Ocean Sports Centre, so if sunbathing is not really your thing, why not hire a kayak or SUP (paddle board) and get out on the water instead? Or why not treat yourself to a Spa day at the delightful hotel which overlooks the beach and has a fabulous terrace where cocktails can be enjoyed in the Cornish sunshine? Carbis Bay has a small range of local shops and restaurants as well as a fish & chip takeaway and railway branch line. The train journey from Carbis Bay into St Ives is perhaps one of the most beautiful in the country; St Ives additionally makes for a great day out, with plenty of galleries to explore. The quayside town of Hayle also isn't far away and is home to activities for all the family, including golf and a wildlife sanctuary. The Godrevy Nature Reserve and Penwith Heritage Coast are also within easy reach from Carbis Bay, providing outdoor and watersports plans with even more activities to partake in, including coasteering and birdwatching. Carbis Bay is truly a wonderful holiday location for those wanting to experience Cornwall's breathtaking coastline.
