Beachfront vacation rentals in Bournemouth

McKinley Road is such a beautiful place with quiet, wide, tree-lined roads - you would never think that the beach is just a few minutes walk away. The apartment is exactly like the photos, it is done out to a high standard throughout. The underfloor heating throughout makes this a lovely warm apartment, especially this time of the year. The apartment has lots of mod cons as well as all of the daily living essentials that you would need. It is comfortable and spacious. Would highly recommend this apartment.

Great location , beach very close .10 min walk to bars and restaurants of southbourne.Flat was great decent open plan area , good shower and comfortable beds with nice clean linen

I lived in Swanage and owned a property there in the mid 80’s and I have been a regular visitor in the years since I left. I can say in all honesty that Sebastian’s place is my new favourite place to stay in Swanage. Location, views, character, contents and a great bed with top notch bed linen - all very impressive, We look forward very much to another stay

We had a lovely 3 night stay as a family of 4 plus our dog and would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to explore the new forest and coast. The accommodation was lovely and clean with lots of thoughtful touches, and finished to a high standard plus the view of the sea is a real bonus! Nicky was a great host

AMAZING!! Had a fab weekend. Diz was a lovely host with great communication throughout, with added touches to make my partner’s birthday stay more special. Realised very quickly that we should have booked a few more days at this beautiful lodge . . .so peaceful and private. We can’t wait to visit again x

This is one of the best places we've stayed. everything was clean and bright. The Continental breakfast was delightful and we ate on the beautiful terrace. We would absolutely recommend this venue and will, hopefully be back again.

Slight concern about parking but easy to unload by front door. Then spaces to park on Durlston Road and in evening there were spaces by front door :-)) moved cars down did not need to move them again so easy departure.

Really lovey place to stay, very functional and close to all the places we wanted to visit. It felt very homey and comfortable. We all had a wonderful time, thank you for hosting us!

Had a fantastic 4 day stay. Property was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed. Beautiful area with stunning scenery and great walks. Hosts were superb, proactive and very quick with return communication. Would 100% recommend

Just the sort of place we were looking for - we visit relations in the area regularly. Mudeford Quay is close and is a great place to catch evening sun and meal. The beach Hut is a bit further (walkable) in the other direction and has excellent breakfasts and you can sit at tables on the beach! Caravan: WiFi is great, good TV, well appointed kitchen - and comfortable bed. Bella our Lurcher certainly enjoyed the stay. We didn't use the swimming pool, but it looks good.

Fantastic experience from start to finish. The host left our son a toy Easter bunny which was a lovely touch. The van was pristine and felt right at home. Me and my partner were amazed with how well equipped the van was and what the host had supplied. You name it this vans got it! Thank you again for a brilliant experience for me and my family. The clubhouse and leisure centre was fantastic as well 👍🏼

We have just returned from Carlys, beach gateaway caravan. It was amazing completely soptless, with everything you need and more. The board games were a nice surprise as we had forgotten ours. The place is just as described and lotsbof personal touches that makes the stay all the more enjoyable. The facilities at the park are great, from swimmig to soft play and the beach is a 10/15 walk from the caravan. Thanks for a fab stay Carly, we hope to be back soon.

We needed a place to stay to visit my daughters and to check out the local area as we are looking to move to the area. The accommodation was just the ticket. It was easy to find and was walking distance from all the places we wanted to visit. It was very clean, and they provided everything we needed (particularly like the welcome pack). The instructions were spot on, and they even provided details regarding local shops and restaurants. It was certainly big enough, with a very spacious living area and kitchen. All in all an amazing experience. Thank you!

We had a lovely time in Richard's place. Everything was as described and immaculately clean. He was very responsive and gave us very clear instructions and very useful tips on local restaurants, things to do etc. The hot tub was amazing and the girls enjoyed using the swimming pool. The location is ideal to get to the Needles, Alum Bay, Freshwater etc and the local beach is an absolute plus! Thanks Richard!

A lovely place to stay in a beautiful location right next to the beach. We've had such a nice time visiting family nearby and Rebecca's accommodation provided us with the most cosy and comfortable place to stay. Spotlessly clean and so well equipted, everything we needed for a long weekend. My four year old granddaughter was delighted to be so near the beach and enjoyed crabbing at Mudeford Quay, right on the doorstep. She loved the outdoor pool and the park. A peaceful location for adults too! Would definately recommend.

We had an amazing stay! The accommodation was perfectly located - just a few steps from the beach, with a small sea view and tucked away enough to feel peaceful and private. It made it so easy to pop back and forth throughout the day. The site itself was fantastic, with both children's and adults' pools that were not just "heated" but actually warm and inviting, such a treat! The luxury sun loungers around the pool were a lovely touch. The home was immaculate, spacious, and comfortably and would easily fit four. We honestly can’t wait to come back!

Fantastic new year break. The house is really spacious and perfect for a group of 4 adults and 4 children. Kitchen was very well equipped and everything was clean and tidy. Ideal location, just a short walk from the beach and town.

Really enjoyed our stay at John’s Airbnb. Warm friendly welcome from Maggie on arrival & a follow up message from John checking that we had everything we needed. The flat was spacious & spotlessly clean with everything we needed & more to enjoy our stay. The bed was extremely comfortable & the location was peaceful with a lovely garden. Quiet residential area within easy walking distance of the town with some very nice restaurants. Only a few minutes walk to the beach & about 10/15 walk to Highcliffe castle. (Amazing tea room). Lots of interesting places to visit within a short drive making the location a perfect base for exploring. Highly recommend.

Lovely stay at kellys apartment. Kelly messaged to say we could arrive earlier if we wanted to, which was very helpful with three children. The apartment was beautiful, very spacious. Would definitely recommend to others and visit again ourselves.

Had a wonderful few days at this super house overlooking the sea. Spotless, well equipped and a cosy home from home. An excellent layout with the sitting room on the top floor with a superb sea view. Perfect location for the beach and other attractions. Helen has been a very friendly and helpful host. We loved our stay and we will be back. Thank you so much Helen and your family too.

Fantastic views! lovely and clean all throughout. WiFi had good signal. Restaurants and shops nearby. Short walk to the bus stop. It was perfect for our mini holiday!

We had an amazing time at Annie’s place. She was always available by phone and easy to communicate with. We were warmly welcomed by her husband, Mark, and her son, Oshi, who were both incredibly helpful. Mark, in particular, was a lot of fun and went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable. The property looked exactly like the listing—if not better in person. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would definitely return!

Pippa was a great host, leaving very clear instructions on how to get into the property and being super flexible on whether we’d need to use the EV charger or not (we didn’t need to in the end, but the option of being able to charge the car if we needed to was super reassuring!). Lovely apartment and a great location to walk along the coast, head into town for food (loved The Cave for wine and tapas), grab a lazy breakfast (big thumbs up for The Lighthouse) or explore the region. Enjoyed the peace and quiet too! Thanks very much indeed!

What a wonderful place to stay! Perfect location in a lovely park with loads to do. The place was perfect! Comfortable and spacious and had everything we needed to have an amazing holiday! Judy was great, accommodating and super helpful and friendly. Thanks for a great trip! We will be back for sure;)
