This attractive apartment is located directly on Poole Quay, with stunning views of the harbour. The apartment is modern and sleek, with everything you might need for a laid-back harbourside stay. We love the private terrace, which overlooks the Sea Music sculpture and is a wonderful spot for watching the boats coming and going from the harbour. The sandy beaches of Sandbanks and Branksome are a fifteen-minute drive, and Sandbanks can also be reached by boat.

This attractive apartment is a great base for a family or group of friends. The home is modern and comfortable, equipped with a convenient kitchen and everything you might need during your holiday. The star of the show at this home is undoubtedly the location. The home sits on Poole Quay with front-line harbour views. There’s a balcony and terrace to admire the water views from. When you’re not exploring Poole, you might drive fifteen minutes to the sandy beach at Sandbanks – don’t forget your bucket and spade.

This gem in Poole is a fabulous place to begin your seaside getaway. With space for up to four guests, you can kick back and chill out in style between your adventures on the Dorset coast. 

Step inside, and you'll find a serene space with a sophisticated grey and blue colour palette that creates a feeling of calm throughout. The velvet sofa is the perfect place to stretch out with an evening tipple, and the open-plan setup makes it easy to chat with your guests while cooking and relaxing. The kitchen has everything you need to whip up your favourite dishes, and you'll love the handy pod coffee machine that makes mornings a breeze. 

A fifteen-minute stroll will bring you right into the heart of Poole, where you can watch the boats bobbing in the quay and dine on fresh seafood at one of the local restaurants. Wander in the other direction, and you'll arrive at the sandy shoreline of Hamworthy Beach, a great place to paddle and build a sandcastle. And, nature lovers can take a twenty-five-minute drive over to Hartland Moor National Nature Reserve for some wildlife watching and rambling through the stunning countryside.

Where do we start with this home – both the apartment and the location are excellent. Firstly, it’s just a 50-metre stroll across West Cliff Green to the beach steps making this the perfect base for a family-friendly holiday by the sea. There are an array of restaurants and bars within walking distance whilst Bournemouth Pier and the town centre are also accessible by foot. We love the sea views from this place’s private garden and who wouldn’t want to dine or relax in the light-filled conservatory? If you’re a group of eight, then two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living space, but it’s a spacious room. What a great find this is.

Hello, harbour views. This contemporary flat perched right on Poole's bustling quayside is the epitome of coastal living. The private balcony is a dream come true, and we bet you'll spend every spare moment admiring the scenery. Rise with the sun and enjoy a cup of coffee alfresco, watching as the ships bob in the water. For lunch, nibble on the local treats left in the welcome basket before toasting your arrival with a glass of white wine as the sun goes down.

When you're not lolling about on the balcony, the light-filled interior is just the ticket after long day exploring Dorset. Make yourself comfortable on the sumptuous cream sofas – perfect for snuggling up for at-home movie nights – or rustle up dinner using fresh-caught seafood in the shiny kitchen. Stylish elements like rattan dining chairs and seaside curios add to the beachy-keen atmosphere, so if living by the sea is what you crave, you can't go wrong. 

Poole Quay is literally on your doorstep, so maritime activities like boat journeys, fishing excursions and trips to the National Trust's Brownsea Island are all within easy reach. Stroll along the waterfront path or pedestrianised high street in search of shops, restaurants and pubs before making the thirteen-minute drive to Sandbanks Beach and spending the afternoon sprawled out in the sand and swimming in the ocean.

This home is the perfect base for a family or group of friends looking to enjoy luxury, privacy and the beautiful coast on a Dorset holiday. Stroll through the garden, set on just under an acre of tree-lined land, where you’ll have your choice of long days spent poolside and lazy lunches prepared with ease on the barbecue. We absolutely love the dynamic bi-fold doors that seamlessly connect the dreamy garden to the dining and living rooms – enjoy the greenery with a breakfast spread and fresh air, or settle on the couch with an afternoon read as the rest of the family enjoys the pool, hot tub and lawn. The kitchen is large, complete with a marble island that makes your culinary vision easy to execute, and on chillier nights, shut the doors and turn the fireplace up as you snuggle in for movie night. Finally, end your days with a lush soak in the oval tub. The bedrooms are neutral-toned and welcoming, ideal for restful nights of sleep. And when it’s time to explore, Canford Cliffs is a thirteen-minute drive away, while you can be on the sandy beach with just a five-minute drive or eighteen-minute walk.

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.

Beach / Pool Towels

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.

Escape To The Sands

The sights and sounds of Poole's quayside can be felt from your balcony, providing a dreamy scene to accompany your morning breakfast, lunch or dinner. Sit out on the cosy space any time of day and feel energised by the fresh scents of the sea.

Once you've fully awoken with breakfast and coffee on the balcony, make your way down to the picturesque waterfront. Find quaint cafes, seafood restaurants and authentic stores selling cute clothing and funny mementos. 

Wander inland and you'll discover the rustic charm of The Old Town, a a collection of welcoming pubs, ice cream stores and fish and chip shops. Simply stroll around the vibrant streets, ice cream in hand, and feel the charisma of the town. 

Of course, no trip to Dorset is complete without sampling the beautiful beaches. Take some refreshments and spend a day under the summer sun, taking frequent dips in the water.

However you spend your days, you can relax at night in the quiet comfort of the home. Gather on the dining table with a spectacular view, snuggle up on the sofas with a film or watch sunset from the intimacy of the balcony.



Breakfast By The Beach

Cafetiere

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.

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. 

Cross Hill

Desk / Workplace

There are stays in Poole and then there are stays right on Pool Quay. In the very heart of things, this new home has been built overlooking the harbour, with views from almost every window. Just outside you'll see the busy boats, cafes and restaurants of this hub of activity, with the shipyard of one of the world's biggest luxury motor yacht companies just across the water and the ferry to Brownsea Island just steps away.

Inside, there's a modern, white and cream look to this sparkling apartment, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a sociable, open layout to the living space. There's a well-kitted-out kitchen for cooking at home and a small but perfectly formed balcony – big enough to sit out on with a morning coffee (or an evening glass of wine). With the high street around the corner and the local museum across the street, locations don't get any more convenient.

Quay & Coffee

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

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

Parking On Street

Resort Access

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.

Shell Sanctuary

An elegant apartment by the sea, this home in Swanage is just a few minutes' walk from the seafront. Set in an attractive Victorian building, it's a perfect retreat for a couple or a solo traveller, and with its period features and Boho styling, it's bound to appeal to the romantic in you. 

Tall ceilings, sash windows, oak floorboards and chandeliers are the order of the day here, along with all-white decor and pops of colourful modern art. There's a squashy sofa in the cosy living room, and a well-kitted-out, modern kitchen if you'll be cooking at home. But it's the bedroom we really love here, with its vintage rattan headboard and French vintage furniture.

The Swan's Feather

A fifteen-minute walk from the sea, this light-filled apartment is an excellent place to recharge after a day out and about in Bournemouth. There are plenty of entertainment options to keep you occupied when you're not exploring – strum a tune on the acoustic guitar, put a record on the vinyl player, curl up with a well-thumbed book or sprawl out on the sofa and watch a Netflix movie. With crisp white walls and clean-lined furniture, the vibe here is minimal and modern. And we like the little extras, too, like the slow cooker in the glossy kitchen, Crabtree & Evelyn soaps and a lavish rainfall shower. 

Another thing we love? The location. A fifteen-minute stroll through the woods takes you straight to Alum Chine Beach, while countless pubs, restaurants and shops are just around the corner from the apartment. This is an ideal spot to discover the best of Bournemouth and Poole, with many family-friendly activities and sun-kissed beaches either within walking distance (including Bournemouth Pier, thirty minutes on foot) or a quick drive away.

All Together Now

Smart TV

Parking On Premises

Relaxed and comfortable, this Poole home makes a fuss-free base for a Dorset adventure. It's spread over three levels, and the top-floor suite boasts views across the harbour to Brownsea Island – imagine waking up to that each morning. Downstairs, the kitchen has all you need to rustle up the catch of the day while the electric fire keeps things cosy on chilly evenings. Come summertime, the private patio is the perfect spot for dinner and drinks in the sunshine. Location-wise, Poole Quay and the docks are just a short walk away. Further afield, yet within easy reach by car, are Bournemouth and Sandbanks Beach.

Golden Quay

Balcony / Patio

Stair Gates

Make your way up to the top floor of this contemporary home and you’ll find a calm coastal sanctuary – with refreshing views across Poole Harbour. It’s also a space with family entertainment at its heart. The two large living rooms make it easy to gather for drinks, games and mealtimes, while the four bedrooms provide a quiet space to unwind. Remote workers will also appreciate the dedicated desk space (and leafy garden views), while the range of toys will keep little ones entertained throughout your stay. From here, it’s a just short stroll to the beach (a beach hut is available on request), as well as the restaurants, bars and shops of Lilliput. 

Slow Serenity 

A short stroll from Swanage Beachfront, this home is an excellent choice for family gatherings. The location is perfect for exploring on foot – pubs, eateries, shops, and seaside walks are within easy reach. Back home, you'll find five comfortable bedrooms, though some have limited headroom due to sloped ceilings. The bathrooms are also a tad snug for taller guests. That said, there's a bright first-floor living area where everyone can chill out together, as well as a ground-floor main suite with its own small patio. Two pups are also welcome to tag along – now that's coastal fun for the whole family.

A Song for All Seas

Cosy and compact yet still packing a punch, this contemporary cabin is ideal for a romantic retreat for two. Inside, you’ll find everything needed for a comfortable stay, while outdoors, you can relax around the firepit after a day of exploration. With views across the Swanage countryside to the beach, you’ll soon be eager to explore. Head to the coast to enjoy dolphin spotting, wildlife watching, or a walk along the South West Coast Path, or hop on the historic Swanage Railway for a six-mile trip through picturesque countryside. 

Dorset Serenity

Playground

This former hotel sits in the heart of Bournemouth. Perfect for large groups and events, there’s plenty of space for entertaining across the large living and dining room. The bedrooms offer a quiet space to rest and recharge and they all come with en-suite bathrooms. There’s also a wonderful garden with a hot tub and outdoor seating – perfect for lazy summer afternoons. By day, you can stroll to the nearest shops, cafes and restaurants. It’s also just a short drive to the New Forest National Park and Purbeck Hills. 


The Grand Manor

Umbrellas

If you do like to be beside the seaside, this is the perfect holiday home for you. This ground-floor apartment is located within walking distance of three beautiful beaches – Sandbanks, Flaghead Chine and Branksome Chine. You’re also only five minutes away from Luscombe Valley Nature Reserve, making this a wonderful base from which to explore the great outdoors. 

A lovely south-facing garden is the cherry on top of this convenient and comfortable home. Spend your days at the beach, then come home to fire up the barbecue and chill out in the private garden until late. The living room looks out onto the sunny, pine-tree-lined garden – why not open up the double doors to create a vast indoor-outdoor living space? 

Canford Cliffs village is just a ten-minute walk away, so you can easily stock up on supplies. There are pubs, restaurants and wine bars, with something for everyone. For even greater choice, drive into Bournemouth – ten minutes by car – or Poole – a fifteen-minute drive. With easy access to city living and the quiet seaside setting of this home, you really get the best of both worlds. 


The Garden By The Sea

Nestled in the heart of Swanage, this home has easy access to this picturesque coastal town’s sandy beaches. Have a stroll along the iconic pier and take in the panoramic views of Swanage Bay. Or relax in the enclosed rear garden on the sofa – there’s a trampoline for the kids, too. Inside, it is light and bright thanks to the bay window, and there’s a log burner to snuggle up in front of when the Dorset weather turns chilly. As well as the main bedroom, there's a bunk bed and a twin room, making it an excellent option for families.

The Dorset Seashell 

Just up the road from the Blue Flag-awarded Swanage Beach, this home gives you a great excuse to visit the Jurassic Coast. Indulge in forgotten pleasures when you hop aboard the steam train to Corfe Castle. Or, how about a day trip to Monkey World instead? With high ceilings, original coving, and a feature fireplace, this space still embraces its 1890 origins. While the second bedroom serves youngsters, this apartment makes a good option for families seeking a seaside base.

How Lovely

Games Room

Sun Loungers / Beach Chairs

Only a couple of blocks from bars and eateries, this modern home places its guests beside Bournemouth Beach. You'll receive a thoughtful welcome hamper upon your arrival, offering slippers and teatime treats. Don't fancy sipping sundowners on the decking? Hang out in the games room instead. There's even Netflix and a PlayStation here. As for practical bonuses, the twin beds can be set up as doubles. With an EV charger, Dorset road trips are on the cards via the easily accessible A338 dual carriageway.

Bournemouth Blue

A five-minute stroll from the heart of Swanage, a seaside town packed with old-fashioned fancies, this ground-floor apartment gets your holiday started with a welcome hamper. Beyond the bay window, a private patio invites you to play outside with your dog before serving fish and chips in the open-plan living space. Staying here between April and September? Take a steam train up to Corfe Castle. Or, stick to the Jurassic Coast and eat ice cream on the beach, then walk along the Victorian pier.

Jolly Good

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.  

Blue-Flag Bliss

Courtyard

With beautiful harbour views, it's no wonder this home is popular. There's a small courtyard to take in the fresh sea air, and inside is light and bright with a modern, well-equipped kitchen for preparing some local seafood. The location is fantastic, too –  it’s just a stone's throw from Poole's vibrant Quayside. And just a short stroll away, you’ll find the Old Town with its excellent array of restaurants and bars. This place is ideal for friends and families looking for a seaside experience.

Harbour Delight

Shared Washing Machine

Shared Dryer

Situated in Swanage, just a short stroll from the beach, this apartment has a great location. There are plenty of shops, restaurants and bars right on your doorstep, too (as a result, you may hear some street noise here). Ascend the stairs to this second-floor apartment and you’ll be greeted with an open-plan living space with character features. This place is ideal for a couple or solo traveller looking to be in the heart of this charming seaside town.


Flat 6

You'll find this 19th-century apartment in Swanage, a town famed for its Victorian charms. The size is perfect for a couple – and with a private suntrap terrace and some characterful period features inside, we’ll forgive the slightly dated interiors. Make for the sands of Swanage Beach and the pier (less than half a mile from your door) for a hefty dose of seaside nostalgia. And when thoughts turn to food, there are plenty of bustling cafes and restaurants dotted along the high street.

Wisteria Rising

Nestled in the beautiful maritime surroundings of Poole Quay, this home is a real gem in a corner of England that is often overlooked for popular seaside destinations such as Cornwall and Devon. Situated on the fourth floor, this stylish apartment boasts stunning 180° panoramic views over Visitors Marina, Brownsea Island and Purbecks beyond. Whether you're watching the sunrise or waiting for it to set, you'll absolutely love spending time on the balcony here. Make yourself a cream tea and a cuppa and watch the boats come in and out of the quay. Take in the sound of seagulls passing by and feel the sea breeze on your skin.

One of the best things about this home is its proximity to southeast beaches. Sandbanks is the pick of the bunch, and it only takes sixteen-minutes by car. When you're feeling hungry, there are a lot of great places to discover within walking distance. Take a four-minute scenic stroll along the harbour to Quayside, where you'll find a variety of restaurants, pubs and wine bars. You can't come here and not sample the fish & chips either! We recommend the fourteen-minute walk to Lakeside Fish & Chips for some hearty, traditional grub.

Dolphin of The South

With every sea-facing window beckoning you to explore the nostalgic charm of Swanage, this waterfront home boasts views stretching to the Isle of Wight. Only a one-minute walk from quaint galleries and restaurants, the town's sandy beach leads you to a maritime museum at the Victorian Pier. While you'll have to take care not to bump your head upstairs, the open-plan living space provides everyone with a fuss-free base for itinerary planning over fry-ups. Outside, a decked terrace offers a private spot to sip beer and watch sunsets overhead.

Breakfast Included

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 bright, modern home exudes luxury from every fibre and feature and it sits just fifty metres from Poole’s pretty harbour. Beach days are a short walk away, with the long stretch of sand at Shore Road Beach a six-minute stroll away, so you can pop back home if you’ve forgotten the sunscreen. Your proximity to the sea is on display in the master bedroom, with views out over the ocean from a wall of windows. Out the back, you’ll find a balcony for sunbathing and a ground-level terrace is set up for barbecues in the evening. But it’s the ultra-plush living room in dove-grey and dusky pink velvet that really caught our eye. A long fireplace runs the length of the wall, reminiscent of a mid-century entertainers pad in luxe LA. The kitchen is in striking monochrome, where sleek minimalism reigns supreme, yet every appliance and mod-con for self-catering is hidden behind cabinets, and there are two wine fridges tucked into the island. Floor the ceiling windows let in plenty of seaside sunshine, and Poole’s myriad seafood restaurants and ocean-side bars are at your fingertips here. 

Seaside Swagger

A British seaside staycation at its most exclusive awaits at this contemporary chalet. Perched in Dorset's affluent neighbourhood of Canford Cliffs, you're just a five-minute walk from the beach and your own private beach hut. 

One of Dorset's well-kept secrets, Canford Cliff's fine, blue-flag beach nestled between Branksome Chine and Flaghead Chine is where locals and people in the know like to go to escape the crowds. Discover its charms for yourself (just keep it a secret) with days of picnicking, sandcastle making, and surfing if you time it right. 

When tummies start to rumble, there's a handy kiosk for grabbing ice-creams - or put on the kettle for tea and cake at your private beach hut (available to hire from your hosts). For something more hearty, mosey over to the local gastro-pub –⁠ just one minute from your door. 

Back at home, the fresh and uplifting interiors are a joy to come home to, whatever the season. Long summer evenings call for sundowners and barbecues on the outside decking while kids and furry friends alike run amuck in the vast lawned garden complete with a play fort. And on winter nights, take your pick from two stylish living areas, complete with fireplaces and squishy modular sofas for when it's time to crash out. 

The Secret's Out

Pool / Snooker Table

Hammock

Taking the whole family on a getaway? This mighty home close to the Dorset coastline has a stupendous amount of space inside and the sort of standout amenities that'll make it a stay to remember. One of the things we really love is that it's truly an address for all seasons, with a wealth of space in the garden when the sun comes out and lots of cosy spots inside if it ever gets chilly. And that's not forgetting the huge number of attractions nearby either, everything from beaches to nature reserves.
