Amazing Summer Break to St.Ives

We had a great family holiday at Camana in St.Ives. The property was as pictured, light, bright and great open kitchen and living room space. Great location, near to the town and beaches. We'd definitely recommend this property.

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.

Dear Julia. Thank you so much for taking the time to write such an informative review which I am sure other travellers will find very useful. The words written in your review mirrow our thoughts and we are thrilled that you see Camana the way we see it. We believe Camana has so much to offer and our aim is to provide the perfect holiday. Camana has such a sunny aspect, comfortable beds and is immaculately clean and spacious. The patio is just perfect for dining out in the warmer weather and is so peaceful and quiet. We hope to welcome you again sometime in the future. All the very best. Samara

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.

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.

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.

A very clean, bright, spacious property, located in Carbis Bay. 15-20 minutes walk into St Ives so it is perfect if you want to stay somewhere slightly quieter than central St Ives, it has its own parking spaces and outside space so very easy to get out and about into other local areas. Tesco round the corner, Carbis Bay perfect for swimming, and a very helpful owner.

We had a fantastic time in Carbis Bay and St. Ives and loved everything about our home away from home, Camana. The space is light and airy and worked well for having friends over for dinners when we chose to eat in. Well appointed and easy to clean kitchen and functional laundry space.
