Flat One The Beaches
Accommodation is very homely and comfortable with lots of home comforts. It is a perfect location for access to beach, harbour and town with ease of access to some lovely bars and restaurants. Fantastic location for beautiful walks. We’ve stayed here many times and will do so again.

Beautiful 2-bed 2-bath, Walk 2 Beach, Free Parking
Absolutely beautiful flat. It was clean and we loved the thought that went into the decor. And there was enough toilet roll! 😆 The hosts were very responsive and amenable. The bar opposite was a bit loud with music but it stopped at 12 and didn't bother us really. Thank you.

Apartment with Fabulous sea views near Bournemouth
The apartment is modern, comfortable and well appointed with wonderful views of the coast and sea. It is a perfect base for exploring the local area with lovely walks on the doorstep. Brian is a lovely host, easy to communicate with and very responsive.

Flat in Bournemouth Centre
Lee is absolutely great host, easy to communicate with, always responsive and helpful. Place as described, central location, easy to find, spotless

Amazing ground floor apartment close to the beach
Kate was so responsive and the apartment was very clean. Great location to the lovely Sobo beach and great breakfasts at Brown Dog which is a few minutes walk from apartment. Very clean and would stay again! Thank you

Stylish Seaview Retreat, 5 minutes walk to Beach.
Lovely flat with stunning sea view if there are no big cars parking. Tara was an absolute great host and decorated her flat with contemporary and worthy furniture. All rooms were spotlessly clean and well equiped. We highly appreaciated that even accessories like kitchen equiment or toilet paper have been provided. Even if the flat is close to the beach and the town centre of Boscombe, it is really quite and private. Parking at the street was easily possible. Thank you for all the kind messages and useful information. We will definitely come back :)

Sycamore view
Stephen and Annette have a lovely home, we enjoyed our stay there over the Easter long weekend. The vibes were really cosy and they were generous with providing some snacks and breakfast items. Stephen even came over to help us figure out heating settings and was really friendly! The area was lovely and peaceful, with a big supermarket about 10-15 min walk away and a cosy cafe for breakfast just down the road. We were also able to get to Bournemouth town centre very easily with a 10-min drive and explored some great stretches of coast quite easily! We really loved our stay and would love to visit again :)

Little gem by the sea, own private entrance
Lovely Apartment only a short walk from the beach and central Swanage. Had everything we needed, quiet and comfortable. Would recommend.

Seaside Cottage with panoramic sea views.
We had a lovely weekend! Perfect location for walking to the beach and had an extremely relaxing time!

Beach house + hot tub, walk to restaurants & bars.
We stayed here for a hen party and my expectations were well passed! The place felt so homely and welcoming and was beautifully decorated. The hot tub was a big highlight and felt so clean! The hosts were easy to contact and made it a very easy booking and stay. Thank you so much, we had a fab time and the bride is so happy!!!

Luxury@OceanView House Dorset close to Beach&Cafes
A stunning location. Beach just the other side of the road. The full length glass windows made a spectacular view dawn to dusk.

Heart of the Town Centre. 5 minutes walk to beach.
The house was a perfect location for us as a family. We regularly visit Swanage and this is now the closest to town we have stayed. You would not think in less than 5 minutes you would be in town due to how quiet it was. House was clean and tidy and had everything we needed. Plenty of space for a family of 5. If we needed Anne we knew we could have messaged. We managed to find parking not far from the house so this was also no issue for us. Will look again at staying here as we can not fault it at all. 5*

Chesil Cove, Portland's jewel
We had a great stay. Brilliant communication from Rosalie and the house did not disappoint. Looking forward to going back. Thank you Rosalie.

Bournemouth Holiday Home - short walk to beach
The house was exactly what we needed, and was in an ideal location. Check-in was smooth, and the host was responsive throughout our stay. The only things I would suggest is that the host provides hand wash in the bathrooms (this is something I’ve experienced in all other airbnb experiences), and the host needs to replace the dining table and dining chairs as these are worn out, and not fit for use. Overall, the house was exactly what we as a group of nine (with two children) needed, and the bedrooms were clean, comfortable, and spacious.

200m walk to beach, town & SW Coastal path
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.

Panoramic sea views by Southbourne beach
We just returned from 2 nights at Elaine’s house which was too short. It exceeded my expectations and was nicer than the photos. We were really comfortable and loved the sea views especially from the top floor balcony. (The house is on 3 floors.) The house was spotless and equipped with everything you could need and even the toiletries were special. Clear instructions for everything. The promenade is just across the road with a zigzag down to the beach and a lift nearby for those who need. We did some lovely outings including a boat trip from Tuckton to Mudeford. We were lucky to have had fabulous weather. The only improvements I could think of are seating for the garden and curtains for the bedroom. (I am sensitive to light and brought an eye mask as I could see from the photos that there are only blinds in the bedroom so I was able to go back to sleep when it got light.) Elaine was accommodating and responsive. I would highly recommend Elaine’s property and hope to return one day.

Modern town centre apartment with balcony, parking
Steven's apartment was truly great and as described. There was everything you needed for a home meal, and instructions were perfectly clear, which made our arrival and check out hassle free. Overall spotlessly clean. The location was a plus! Would definitely book again! :)

SPACIOUS GROUND FLOOR APARTMENT CLOSE TO BEACH
Amazing place to stay. Short walk to beach/ town. Quiet location. Nice comfortable beds. Excellent shower. Very clean. Decking with seating at the back is in the sun from morning to evening and is secluded. Absolutely 5 Stars and over.

Beautiful two bedroom apartment close to beach
We had a wonderful stay as a family of 4 with a teenager and 10 year old. The communication prior to our arrival was very clear and timely. The apartment itself is in a fantastic location, just minutes from the beach. We kept commenting throughout that David and Liz have considered absolutely everything their guests would need and require during the stay. It was spotless and very well kept, we will certainly be back!

3 Bedroom Apartment close to beach and town centre
Spacious three bedroom 2nd floor appartment. Lift located next to appartment front door. One parking space which can be seen from living room window. Lots of extras in appartment- eg shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, toilet roll, hand soap etc which was a great addition. Further free parking around the corner on Derby Road. 10 min walk to Boscombe beach. Would thoroughly recommend and look forward to a return trip

Cloud Nine: Seaview Penthouse 3 bed 3 bath
Absolutely amazing stay at Samantha's place! Communication was excellent from start to finish. The flat is truly beautiful - the photos don't do justice to how spacious and open the main rooms actually are. The location couldn't be better - just a 5 minute walk to the beach and a short drive to the New Forest. We were able to explore so many beautiful sights all within easy reach. The beds were very comfortable and all appliances were new and worked perfectly. We hope to return again soon!

Stunning Beachfront apartment overlooking the sea
This is a beautiful apartment right on the sea front. It was super clean, easy to access, spacious and perfect for our long weekend getaway. We will absolutely be returning!

Sandbanks snug
Nice clean accommodation, well decorated with everything you would need, good communication from Maureen regarding the stay. Tesco nearby for groceries, Cafe 100yds away for coffee and breakfast or dinner. We stayed for a weekend and went to eat at Rick Steins one night and Poole harbour the next night.

Modern Sea View Apartment - 350 Yards from Beach
Great place to base ourselves to explore Bournemouth for a couple of days. Great communication with hosts thank you for a lovely stay.
