Waterfront vacation rentals in Swanage

Great flat. Very clean and welcoming. Close to local restaurants and lovely walks along the quay. Bonus was a secure place to leave our bikes!

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.

James is a lovely host, excellent and clear communication. The flat is perfect base to explore the local area. We had a lovely holiday!

The apartment was well located and had all amenities. From our arrival to leaving, everything was available within the apartment, which was clean, comfortable and perfect for a long weekend. The area is well located, close to the sea and the nice town on Bidport, with a nice local market on the Saturday morning (worth a walk - around 30 minutes). Travelled to Weymouth but we recommend the 53 bus for the views along the cliff.. amazing and worth the ride just for this view (take the upper level if a double-decker). We'll be back, just for the location and the people. :-)

This is a great property in a beautiful and quiet area. Everything you need is available and the bed is very comfortable. Instructions and communication were detailed and helpful. The centre of Bournemouth is just a short walk. Thanks for having us.

I have just spent a couple of nights at Emily's place with my daughter. The flat is really lovely. It is absolutely spotlessly clean, stylish, and homely. Lots of thought has clearly gone in to make it a comfortable place to stay. The bed and sofa bed are so comfortable. Good quality kitchen wear, bathroom, and TV make for a luxurious feel. The location is very central, with the added bonus of parking. Luke & Emily we're very communicative and very kindly allowed us to check-in early. Super hosts and highly recommendable place to stay.

This flat provided us with a perfect base for our walking holiday in Dorset. West Bay was a delight, lots of places to eat delicious seafood, and excellent breakfasts. We were there outside main holiday times and imagine it will get much busier. Flat was up 48 stairs, which kept us fit, but delightful clean modern space & we felt very comfortable and relaxed. Highly recommended.

A cosy, light flat, with all amenities & yummy extras. Bedroom very spacious with en suite. During our stay a 5.15 am awakening, to view the sunrise, from lounge window, was a real bonus. Although very central to town it was remarkable quiet during the evening. No 50 bus from station - ( a short walk down the road) takes you to Sandbanks & Bournemouth. Using the unloading bay outside WH Smiths very helpful. Broad Street parking - you do need a mobile that can take a QR booking. 3 days £25.00 Bev an excellent communicator

Lovely house with the added bonus of a parking space. The house was beautifully presented and spotlessly clean. It was very well stocked with everything you could want and it's a very easy short walk to the beach. I absolutely would recommend this.

Perfect location if you want access to all the local walks and right on the beach, Lovely clean and tidy equipped with everything we needed, ideal for family’s with young children, single beds a bit small for adults, but I managed for a few nights, local pub does great Sunday roast Staff in the cafe and hotel very welcoming and helpfuli would recommend and will visit again in the future Thankyou Peter & Francis

We had a great week, enjoying coastal walks and cycling and the local pub. The house is very comfortable and well-equipped. It has the most wonderful views from the open plan living space which you can’t really appreciate from the photos. Graeme was really helpful / responsive.

We had a great Easter in this lovely apartment. It was beautifully kitted out and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location is great, just minutes from the beach and it also has a couple of great restaurants and coffee shops within a 10minute walk. We would definitely stay here again next time we visit the area. Thanks Nicky!

The house is a comfy, beautifully furnished and decorated family home. As opposed to a house put together for Airbnb. Everything was just how we would have wanted it. We spent a very happy Christmas there with our family and everyone (9 of us at one point) had enough space, with a cozy lounge with fireplace and the quieter viewing lounge.The beds were comfy, the kitchen was amply equipped, we went for coastal walks - perfect.

A great place to spend a few days with the family. A lovely property with great views and easy walking into town for pubs and restaurants. We ordered a shopping delivery for the day we arrived which I would recommend so no issues with parking outside. Altogether a lovely few days, thank you.

We have just returned from a relaxing 3 days over New Year 2024 to 2025. Ideal size for 3 couples with a bathroom for each couple. Living area was great with a nice modern open plan kitchen living and dining area. Cooking facilities were very good with modern appliances which made catering for our group very easy. Main fridge freezer was complemented by a separate wine cooler All the bedrooms were of a good size as were the beds with the exception of the double in the 3rd bedroom which felt small ( we have a super king at home so it may have just been an adjustment to that ) We stayed close to the house and ate at the Lake Yard which is 5 mins walk away. Whilst it is a members club we were able to book a meal which was subject to a 20% non members price increase. We ate at The Yachtsman on NYE. Luke the host was very responsive and helpful answering any queries quicker than advised and we all appreciated the welcome basket. Good trip had by all

The Cottage is full of character, cosy and in a quiet location, the local shop is nearby, the pebble beach and Cafe nearby. The Bus service is every 10 minutes to anywhere. Lovely Sea view from the Roof Terrace.

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.

Lovely apartment in the heart of West Bay close to the harbour and beaches. It was just what we wanted and spotlessly clean. Bed really comfortable. We have 2 small cocker spaniels and it was great that Chris could accommodate them too. Would definitely recommend and hope to stay again in the future.

Stunning property, beautifully presented and Chris is a brilliant host. Thank you we would love to stay again!

We had a really enjoyable mini break. The flat was ideal for us and we loved the way it was decorated and furnished. Thank you to Andreas for being a wonderful host.

Great flat, it's the second time we have stayed in it.

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!

A great few days stay at Tara’s place over the bank holiday weekend. Great communication with Tara (very responsive) and provided us with details on local building work which though didn’t impact our stay greatly was really appreciative. A great location to watch the world go by and our two daughters loved the bunk beds! Highly recommend.

A great host. Fabulous area for exploring the incredible coastline
