Fitness-friendly vacation rentals in English Channel

We stayed in apartment 38 for a week in July 2021. It exceeded my expectations and the pictures do not do it justice (the pictures make it look a bit dated but it really isn’t). It is a lovely 3 bed apartment - very clean throughout. The bedrooms and bathroom are on the first floor and the stairs lead up to the living area and kitchen! The kitchen comes with a fridge, dishwasher, cooker and oven. You also get all your basic cooking utensils and dishes alongside cleaning products including dishwasher tablets. One thing I would suggest is taking some tupperware to store your food in or if you want to make a picnic. The description also stated they provided cooking oil - but there wasn’t any - so it’s worth taking some if you want to make a full english in the morning. We ordered a Tesco online shop which was delivered straight to the apartment without any problems. Note, the pools (indoor and outdoor) are not heated so can be quite cold. The indoor pool area is a bit tired looking with the paint peeling off the floor - but the kids still had a fab time. The gym is also well equipped with weight and cardio machines…but again some of the padding on the machines are a bit worn. Overall we had a fab time, the views are amazing. Meadfoot beach is literally on the doorstep and the town is only a 15min walk away. Paignton beach (10min drive) is great for the kids if you want a bit more hustle and bustle i.e. Pier with arcades and fairground. Also recommend The Inn on the Green for lovely pub grub - they are directly opposite the Paignton pier and the staff were fab too.

Great stay! Really perfect location close to nearby shops and boscombe centre but the major plus was 5/10min walk from the beach. Perfect place for us as a couple, really clean and cosy. The addition of some wee treats was lovely!

Good location for beaches and town, with parking. Spacious, very clean and nicely furnished apartment. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, thank you Marcus.

Garry is a friendly and responsive host. The apartment was spotless, comfortable and very accessible. It was well equipped, welcoming and clean. Thanks again for everything!

We stayed here for two nights. It was the perfect location to get to the beach in less than 10 minutes by foot. Lots of lovely restaurants and bars close by. Highly recommend this place and would stay here again if I came back.

Lovely apartment in secure block with plenty of space and filled with everything you need.

Clean, nice location and Devi was great at communicating and ensuring we were happy with the stay!

The host showed a great sense of hospitality, kindness, and flexibility with check-in times. The explanations provided were very clear and the house, extremely well-equipped, far exceeded our expectations. A high quality welcome that made the stay particularly enjoyable. We would be happy to come back and highly recommend this listing! Thank you Françoise!

Home from home.Excellent central location to the harbour,restaurants,pubs and supermarkets.Added bonus of secure covered parking.Found it great for days out as straight onto all the main roads whichever way we were heading.The apartment was much larger than the pictures and the kitchen and lounge were very well equipped.Tricia was super responsive with communication and really helpful with our requests.Can highly recommend Rivazza curry house for lamb railway curry,probably the best curry ive ever had.

Wonderful place to stay. The apartment is fully equipped and decorated fantastically. Location really good for the beach and shops as well.

Everything was as advertised and the key exchange was the easiest (we were explained to us everything in and around the apartment)

Mariusz's place is such an expiernce and waking up to the view it was amazing. Location takes you anywhere you like. Place is spotless and comfortable. The only thing I really disliked it was the day of check out! Wish could stay there longer! Mariusz is amazing host and very helpful! Do not hesitate just book!

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!

Thanks for a lovely stay, Jack. The flat is perfectly located for exploring Hove and just what we needed. It’s actually bigger than it looks in the pictures which I think is a first for an AirBnB. Absolutely perfect for us and our son for a weekend in the city. Everything was spotlessly clean and very well appointed. Can thoroughly recommend.

Great place to base ourselves to explore Bournemouth for a couple of days. Great communication with hosts thank you for a lovely stay.

Roger made everything welcoming with amazing and friendly communication. There is everything you need in a convenient location.

Very nice house, very well renovated, very well equipped, spacious and very bright for our few winter days! The annex with the pool table and pinball was much appreciated by the 6 children (and the 8 adults enjoyed the calm in the house!). Unfortunately, the ping pong could not be used much in the garage next door because it was not bright enough to play and too cold. Very nice owners, recommended! Magali

Morgan entrusts us with his house, a house where it is good to live, which is not an empty, tasteless and lifeless accommodation, there is his whole life in it, his memories, his passions, his life and he gives us his keys on the principle of trust which is very pleasant in this "special" time. This house is very nice and its amenities allow a real stay of disconnection and relaxation The icing on the cake, Morgan is nice and not stingy about the history of his house or to give advice on what to do / see around his home.

Eastholme is a beautiful, modern property, set back from the road and surrounded by a beautiful garden. Ideally located for the beach, Eastholme is a fantastic base from which to explore Trevone. The interior of the property was modern but felt like a home from home

We were a family party of 7 who meet up the same time each year. This accommodation was just perfect - literally had anything you need. We were lucky with the weather and managed to have 2 BBQ in the lovely garden. Would definitely stay here again

Very responsive host. No problems with the home. Very well equipped kitchen.

Had such a lovely time in this gorgeous house. The garden is huge and absolutely stunning with an amazing barbecue that was in pristine condition. The house is really well equipped and excellently located. The host was amazing and had provided lovely finishing touches around the house to make us feel so welcome. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. Highly recommend.

We had a really lovely stay this weekend for 2 nights as a little getaway. We had 2 toddler boys who loved having lots of toys to play with, the garden looked amazing too however the weather said otherwise! Frances was really great communicating with us & made us feel really comfortable.

We had a great time, very good hospitality. The accommodation is clean and comfortable (nothing to say). We highly recommend it. And we won't hesitate to come back. Thank you
