We had a very enjoyable and comfortable stay here and look forward to a return visit. Luckily for us the tide was in first thing in the morning and we watched the fishing boats return and unload their catch and the seal/s swimming below us all in the comfort of our window seats.

St Ives Harbour
The Wharf, otherwise known as St Ives harbour, is a hive of activity throughout the year. With a continual hustle and bustle on the water and along the harbour front, there is always plenty to do and see while self catering at the Wharf, even at the quieter times of the year. It’s an ever changing scene so perfect for those artists among you. Don’t forget about the very sheltered, sandy Harbour Beach, a perfect sun-trap in the heart of town and a great place to find seaglass and sea pottery! As night falls at the end of another perfect day, St Ives comes alive with a selection of bars, restaurants and cafés to suit every pocket and every taste in a truly cosmopolitan atmosphere.
Things to do at the Wharf
Boat Trips
Why not enjoy the scenery by boat and explore the coastline with an excursion with St Ives Boat Trips. Fishing trips are available for those looking for a bit of adventure, or for a more relaxing experience, a visit to seal island lets you see seals basking on the rocks at certain times of year.
Eating and Drinking
The Wharf is home to a wide selection of restaurants and cafes, serving up fresh fish and chips to gourmet burgers, with something to suit everyone. Enjoy an ice cream or Cornish pasty and watch the world go by on the harbour front, but remember to keep your wits about you; seagulls in St Ives are renowned for swooping in and stealing food right from your hands!
Smeaton's Pier
From here you'll get a stunning view of the harbour, and an up close view of the crystal clear waters. At the entrance to the pier you'll find St Leonard's Chapel; originally dedicated for local fisherman, it is now a museum and memorial for the fisherman of St Ives.
Lifeboat station
Home to the new £1.5 million lifeboat, the RNLI lifeboat station is a popular attraction for visitors to St Ives. The gift shop next door sells souvenirs where all profits go towards helping to save lives at sea.

Mr Welchman Aug 2020
Great week at Sunnyside 5 with incredible views across the Harbour to Porthminster and Godrevy. So convenient and close to all the beaches. Comfy beds and well equipped.
Mrs Jopling Jul 2020
We had a very enjoyable week in the apartment. It was very cosy, fantastic views, well equipped and a brilliant location. Would definitely stay again.
Mrs Ford Jan 2020
This is the most perfect accommodation we have stayed in in St Ives, we love it so much. We had a lovely time, as always the weather was changeable to say the least but who cares when you are in St Ives!!
Miss Burrows Nov 2019
We really like the appartment. It is small, but fine. The view to the habour is spectacular. It is far enough away from the loud bars at the other sides of the waterfront. In the courtyard we could keep our boards. It even had a shower in the courtyard for showering the boards and wetsuit. Overall it is a great appartment for a family
Mrs Gieray Sep 2019
We had a great week at Sunnyside Apartment 5. It is in an excellent elevated location with possibly the best views in all of St Ives! It certainly felt like it. The ever-changing colours with the change in tides and sunlight really struck us. The apartment is bright, beautifully decorated and furnished, and also very well equipped. It is away from the hustle and bustle and therefore so much quieter in the evening than we expected - often the only sound when sleeping was the waves and the seagulls... It is so handy for the different beaches too. We parked up our car in the long-stay Island car park and left it all week. It was so easy to explore everything by foot. from the Wharf.
We highly recommend Apt 5.
Mrs Tobin Jul 2019
5 Sunnyside is a wonderful apartment with views to die for, highly recommended.
Mr Horseman Sep 2018

Mrs Hillier Jun 2018
Lovey views.
Ms Matthews May 2018
5 Sunnyside in St Ives is a tiny piece of heaven in one of the loveliest spots of Cornwall. From beautiful linens and furnishings through to the best seats in the house for the finest views in St Ives this apartment ticks all the boxes and is First Class all the way.
Mrs Mitchell Mar 2018
From the moment walking in to see the amazing view to the time we left , a wonderful place with thoughtful furnishings and high spec comforts. After days spent enjoying wondering around the town and beeches it was always great to get back and watch the evening unfold with a drink on the balcony. You had the feeling we where in the best place to stay.
Mr Gough Oct 2017
Top class accommodation, in an excellent position and outstanding views. Would thoroughly recommend this flat.

Mr Day Aug 2015
Relaxing retreat with awesome harbour views.
Mr Warrener Mar 2015
Fabulous location & beautiful views of the harbour. We'd love to stay again. Though do be aware there are lots of steps to the front door and nowhere nearby to park while you unload you car.

Thank you for your comments, we are delighted to hear that you would love to return and that you enjoyed those amazing views of the harbour. Thank you for highlighting the steps to the front door and the situation with unloading. We always want to be as accurate as possible with property descriptions, so mention the two flights of steps to the top floor entrance, on our website, and both of these points are certainly something to consider before booking; though hopefully you will agree that the stunning views make the climb worthwhile. If anyone would like more information before boooking, please do get in contact with the sales team, who would be more than happy to answer any questions. Tanya, Customer Services.
