Just steps from Charminster High Street, this ground floor flat is brimming with Victorian character. It's a lovely red-brick townhouse, with plenty of historic charm to admire – think high ceilings and picture rails, ornamental ceiling roses, tall skirting boards and large bay windows flooding the rooms with light. Though it's on the smaller side, it's been well-designed to maximise the space – we think it's perfectly suited to a couple after a romantic escape. Read the morning paper in the plush armchair, help yourself to a selection of cereals and teas at the rustic breakfast bar or unwind after a busy day with a movie night in the cosy living room. The kitchenette is more suited to light bites than extravagant meals, so in the evenings you may want to dine out – there's an array of cafes, pubs and restaurants in Charminster to choose from. Bournemouth town centre and its sandy beaches are a twenty-five-minute walk (though we recommend driving), or venture a little further and enjoy a trip to the Jurassic Coast, famous for its fossils – you can be there in under an hour.

This Westbourne flat is a brilliant gateway to both Dorset's coast and countryside. With a thoughtful range of amenities and space for two guests – plus a furry friend – couples will love kicking back and relaxing here between their adventures.  

The interior is bright and airy, with a contemporary collection of furniture and stylish sloping ceilings. Open a bottle of wine, and sip a glass as you prepare a delicious dinner together – the open-plan setup makes it easy to chat while you cook. And, afterwards, you can curl up on the sofa and get comfortable as you plan your itinerary for the following day. 

Bournemouth town centre is a twenty-minute walk away, where you'll find plenty of shops, restaurants, and cafés to try out. Refuel and continue your walk down to the water's edge – it takes around forty minutes to arrive at the iconic pier and sandy beach. Golfers will be happy that the local course is just a ten-minute drive away, while nature lovers can stroll through Upton Country Park, just fifteen minutes away by car.

Access to Beach

With fabulous sea views and two balconies, this gorgeous apartment is right on Southbourne Beach (accessed via the Fisherman's Walk zig-zag path and a cliff lift, a two-minute walk away). Southbourne Town centre is a five to ten-minute saunter – here, you'll find an array of restaurants and bars, while Bournemouth is an eight-minute drive and Poole is thirty minutes by car.

When you're not on the beach basking in the sun or exploring nearby, relax on this home's balcony with a glass of wine from the complimentary bottle – the vistas over the beach are stunning. Then whip up a seafood dinner in the modern kitchen with its granite surfaces. Afterwards, take in the seascape from the comfy sofa. We just couldn't tear ourselves away from the windows.

If the view of the sea from this beachy Bournemouth home doesn’t grab you, then perhaps the ten-minute stroll to the beach and promenade will. It’s also a short walk from the town centre, where you’ll find seafood restaurants, shopping streets and beachside cafés galore. The entire ground floor is dedicated to open-plan living and socialising in a light and breezy fashion. Driftwood sculptures and duck-egg accents complement the otherwise pristine white design. Gather the group for breakfast in the big kitchen where bench seating offers an informal place to dine. Squashy armchairs and a huge sectional sofa provide a place for the whole family to hang out in the evening. On the lower ground floor, you’ll find a second, smaller kitchen and another living room for the group to spread out. Bedrooms are split over the first and second floors where pastel hues and beachy flourishes are sure to send you off to sleep dreaming of the sea.

A short walk from the vibrant village of Ashley Cross, which offers a variety of local bars, restaurants and coffee shops, this modern apartment has a convenient address. There's a south-facing balcony to soak up the Dorset sun, while inside, there's a well-equipped kitchen for cooking some local seafood. There's also a parking space within the development's underground parking bay. This place is ideal for families or two couples looking for a comfortable and base in Poole.

Sophisticated & Modern

In the vibrant coastal city of Bournemouth, you won’t just be keeping yourself busy with watersports and sunbathing, but galleries, theatres, and historic churches. Forget about beach life for a second and head further up into town, where you’ll find this luxurious flat just ten minutes from Bournemouth train station on foot. In an Edwardian building, this refurbished home is a distinguished and elegant base for exploring the delights of Dorset. We love the fabulous living space – antique and vintage furniture meets modern, industrial pieces in this eclectic room. The brick fireplace features a funky mirror in its hearth, the Ziegler rug plays host to a mid-century leather Barcelona chair and footstool, the white Chesterfield sofa and regency chaise longue are perfect for relaxing, and the reflection of the black wire chandelier can be seen in the ornate gilded mirror. You’re sure to be charmed by this home of sophisticated and exquisite contrasts. On a sunny morning, wake up to light from the huge, bay windows and head out for a wander. You’ll hit the beach in under thirty minutes, but we recommend taking the long way through town to discover cool local shops and great restaurants on Charminster Road. Further afield, the scenic New Forest is half an hour away in the car, and the exclusive Sandbanks peninsula can be reached in twenty.

King Edward

Wine Cooler

You'll find this modern coach house-style home just a five-minute stroll from the sandy blue-flag beach of Westbourne. When you're not relaxing on the golden sands, this home has a private garden and a patio to enjoy some fresh air. Back through the bi-fold doors, there's an open-plan living space, perfect for entertaining. We love the main bedroom with its Juliet balcony overlooking the garden – it can be made up as a King-size bed or a twin, so it’s flexible, too. What a great seaside escape this is.

With plenty of space to spread out, this ground-floor apartment in an Edwardian home near Westbourne is a fantastic base to return to after a day at the beach. Having a private entrance and garden ensures you have all the privacy you need here, plus private parking is a real premium in this area during the summer months. Although there's room for six, we think the main bedroom is better suited to two adults and two children, while the second bedroom is ideal if you're travelling with another couple. When it's time to explore, you'll find the beautiful sandy beach of Alum Chine just 350 metres away, whilst a 15-minute walk will get you to the eclectic mix of boutiques, cafes and bars of Westbourne and its beautiful Victorian arcade.

This family home is located in the heart of Dorset, close to Westbourne Village and its independent shops, restaurants, bars, and cafes. It’s a ten-minute drive from the sandy beaches of Bournemouth, Branksome Chine, and Alum Chine. If you’re not at the beach, you can enjoy a pleasant walk through the nearby protected heathland. The home is bright and welcoming, with a patio garden – and a handy barbecue – and a balcony. We think this is an excellent choice for families.

Single-Level Home

Uphill from the water’s edge, this home shows another side to the coastal town of Poole. It’s not all about watersports, boat trips, and beachside bars (although you can certainly still experience these delights, just two miles from the shore). A convenient three-minute walk from Parkstone train station, this apartment is located in a quieter, residential area where you’ll feel more like a local. But don’t be fooled – this is a VIP experience. Whether you’d like to arrange for the in-house chef to come over, spend the afternoon paddleboarding, or head out on a boat trip, your host will make sure your stay is memorable. As you arrive, enjoy delicious tea and biscuits, or a glass of wine, from your generous welcome hamper. While you savour nibbles in the lounge, admire the sophisticated interiors – dark blue feature walls, plush grey sofas, and a woven standing lamp are just a few elements we love. Huge windows usher in beautiful natural light in every room, with views of leafy trees outside bringing a sense of zen.

The perfect spot for a family break by the sea, this modern home is just a four-minute drive away from Sandbanks Beach as well as a number of other local beaches with amenities. Also, just a couple of minutes away, you'll be within convenient reach of Ashley Cross and an array of cafes, bars and restaurants. So whether you're seeking an adventurous stay of exploration or some moments of relaxation and quality time together – from here, it couldn't be easier to unplug, unwind and reconnect with the simple pleasures in life. 

One of the biggest highlights of this home is the American-style open plan living, dining and kitchen area featuring bi-fold doors which extend the main living area to the patio and garden. Also, just off this space is a separate snug-style living room, where you can cosy up in front of the TV on chilly evenings. With so much dining space both inside and out (up to fourteen guests), you'll be able to host family get-together barbecues with ease. And since the space encourages cooking, eating and relaxing in one open sociable setting, it's a home where the whole group can be united as one amidst its luxurious amenities, comfortable furnishings and stylish designs.

This home is just a five-minute stroll from Bournemouth's town centre and ten from the beach and pier – now that's convenient. With such a wonderful location, we don't blame you for spending your days exploring. But for those seeking a bit of R&R, this house is the ideal choice. As soon as you walk through the door, you'll notice the relaxed ambience and seaside-inspired design. It's spread across three floors, so there's space for everyone. The kitchen is well-appointed for family dinners, while a small garden out back has sundowners and barbecues covered. Topping it all off, your host can arrange a hot tub for an additional fee – the perfect ending to a day on the coast.
