Camana was perfect for our stay. We were a group of 6 with 3 teenagers. The bedrooms were all clean and roomy, with plenty of storage, comfy beds and the fans were perfect in the hot weather. The kitchen was well equipped, the patio with table, chairs, washing line etc all came in handy. The washer/dryer was really handy. Everything was immaculate. The location is ideal, a short walk to Carbis Bay, absolutely stunning beach. Or a short drive/25 min walk into St Ives. Also lots of other lovely beaches within a short drive away. Tescos is next door, and highly recommend Yvettes Pantry a short walk away for coffees/cakes/smoothies. Communication before/after booking was always prompt and accommodating.Cannot fault it at all and would definitely stay again 10/10

Excellent Holiday Home

Camana provided very comfortable accommodation for our party of 5 adults. The rooms are clean, bright and spacious. It was useful to have 2 upstairs bathrooms and a sink and toilet downstairs and the 2 parking spaces were appreciated. The equipment was good and there was nothing more that we needed. It was useful to have plenty of glasses and mugs. We enjoyed sitting outside in the sunshine on the terrace. Correspondence with the owner pre booking and pre arrival was prompt and very friendly. The list of equipment (number of tea towels etc) which we received was handy so we knew what not to pack. Access to the coastal path is directly opposite the road and it is a pleasant downhill walk to St Ives with a walk uphill back along the road or along the coastal path (steeper). It was relaxing not having to find parking in St Ives. The proximity of Tesco makes catering easy and the Cornish Arms (3 mins walk) do very good home cooked Sunday lunches and evening meals. Despite being close to these facilities the house is set well back off the main road and is peaceful. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.

Fantastic Accommodation & Location

Staying here was a fantastic experience for me and my family we had a wide range of ages staying as I have two young children but the accommodation was more than suitable. The location was excellent with St Ives just a 15-20 minute walk into the centre, you are also a similar walk from Carbis Bay beach. The accommodation itself was clean, modern and very well thought out and suited for a family experience, you can tell the owners had really put a lot of thought into to making it a home from homes.

Perfect

Camana is definitely the nicest property we have stayed at in the local area.....and we've stayed in a few. Rarely does the accommodation match the photo's but, it 100% does here. Its also immaculately clean too! Tucked away just off the main road into St Ives, Camana is in a great location. 2 minutes walk to Tesco/Costa and 5 minutes onto the coastal path. We'll be booking again for sure! Thanks

Brilliant trip

We were made to feel super welcome. The property was very modern and clean. Almost like it had just been built. We had everything we needed already provided for us and the added bonus of a Tesco litterally behind us, gave us that extra security. Great layout throughout with three large bedrooms and more space then we actually needed and we had two kids with us. A large TV was provided along with netflix and prime video so plenty to keep the kids occupied at night too. Kitchen had everything we needed and has all appliences there. Beds were very comfortable and the much needed rest following beach walks were done without issue. Thanks for a great trip.

Spacious contemporary coastal home

A beautiful light modern home really well equipped with everything needed. Comfortable beds and great bathrooms. It is possible to walk by footpath down to the beach about 15 mins but be prepared for the uphill on the way back so travel light! The hosts are very responsive and helpful. Would highly recommend this property.

Excellent location, clean modern property with great facilities

Fabulous house within walking distance to 3 different beaches, even with our kids they loved the walk down and hike up from beach as an adventure. Tesco is round the corner for all those essentials as they run out with 2 families. Home opener was excellent at replying to all the questions I had and put our minds at rest. Fabulous stay and hoping to return next year.
