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.

Homely 2 bedroom apartment&stunning seaside views
Anna-Marie’s flat is lovely, with amazing views over the sea. It’s at the quieter end of the beach which was perfect for us, but with the pier and restaurants all walkable within a few minutes. We couldn’t have wished for a nicer place to stay in Weston Super Mare and hope to be back again. Thank you Anna-Marie for letting us stay and making everything so easy

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
This is a lovely and very comfortable apartment right on the sea. It was equipped with everything we needed for an excellent stay. It was sparkling clean too!

SHOREBANKS - Harbour View Apartment in Sandbanks.
This is the perfect place, everything is catered for and as described. The location is perfect. Sheralee is the best host that I have dealt with and couldn’t be any more accommodating. You will not be disappointed if you book this wonderful apartment: Thank You ☺️

Stylish Seaview Retreat, 5 minutes walk to Beach.
We really enjoyed our brief stay at Tara's property. It was lovely and clean throughout and had a lovely airy feel. It is in a peaceful area within walking distance of the beach and local restaurants. We would certainly stay again

The Aspect,Wyndham Court
fantastic stay in Sidmouth great apartment with the best view. everything you need is within walking distance will definitely be back.

Sandcastles apartment adjacent to seafront.
Our time in Swanage was lovely. Very restful and the venue we stayed in was cosy and very much a home from home. It is right in the middle of Swanage and everything you need is within walking distance. We also went off to Weymouth for a day which was a nice easy commute on the car. Really loved our stay.

Seaside Cottage with panoramic sea views.
Really enjoyed our stay, group of 4 plus small dog and we all had a great time.Loved the beach and the beach bar near by.Great place to explore from and went to Bournemouth ( got ladies into Nici Spa which I can recommend )and Mudeford Quay first a bit of crabbing and exploring. Thank you.

Beach house + hot tub, walk to restaurants & bars.
Thank you Aimee & Paul. After spending the perfect weekend at your Airbnb, we clearly see and absolutely agree with why you’ll are super hosts!! From the communication, to the quality of the accommodation & amenities to the welcoming touches with Prosecco & snacks, your thoughtfulness just made our holiday perfect!! The decor was bright, modern & beautiful; the house and furniture was spotless and the house had everything you would need for a weekend getaway. We were 9 people and a dog and there was ample room for everyone. We couldn’t be happier. The only issue is that since this was our first Airbnb adventure, we’ve now got our bar set too high 😊 Thanks once again for allowing us a fabulous few days in Bournemouth in your beautiful house.

Luxury@OceanView House Dorset close to Beach&Cafes
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.

Stylish Beach House moments from the beach
I cannot begin to describe how lovely our stay was. Tristan is the most amazing host we have ever had at an AirBnb. He was responsive to questions, helpful, caring, and just so sweet. He even helped us back our giant rental van into the garage when we arrived. We had a perfect welcome basket upon our arrival and staples left for us in the fridge, so we had everything we needed for a delicious breakfast the next day. The house itself is even nicer than pictures show. It’s beautiful, modern, and clean. The beds were very comfortable, and having three full bathrooms and an additional half bathroom was amazing, especially for a party of 6 people. The location was perfect, the ocean views were gorgeous, and the home was so comfortable that we didn’t want to leave. Any time we visit Lyme Regis in the future, we will always stay here!

Stunning waterside Victorian home w/ beach access
Another great stay here! This time, for a longer period of time, additional cleaning and replenishment was offered throughout. A very proactive and helpful host who obviously takes pride in their property and guests. Would highly recommend to others and consider using again in the future.

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.

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.
Cottage on Sea set in idyllic surroundings
A magical stay, the setting with the walled garden and beach access felt like something from a Famous Five novel. Marianne and Rob were so welcoming, helpful and responsive. The boys loved playing tennis and skimming stones along the beach. It was great to spend time together in such a beautiful area. It was so peaceful and I had the best sleeps I have had in months.

Stunning Ocean Views, Modern Decor, Sleep 6. WiFi
Great location and sea views. Clear instructions on getting into property and parking space. Laura was a responsive host and would definitely return for another visit.

Holiday Apartment at Sand Bay
Although it’s a while since I last stayed here it still has high standards. Every aspect needed is carefully executed and available. From comfort to cleanliness, peaceful to friendly, solitude to accessibility. From walking on the beach to catching a bus into Weston, this apartment has it all and more. For me it’s just perfect 👌

Beautiful two bedroom apartment close to beach
David and Liz were incredibly helpful from the initial booking through to when we had left their property. They even posted a charger that we left behind which was incredibly thoughtful! Nothing was too much bother and nice touches such as a couple of beers and bottle of Prosecco in the fridge make all the difference. The property itself is a fantastic location and within easy reach of the beach and shops. Would stay here again and would definitely recommend.

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.
