Mere minutes away from Southbourne Beach and with a seaview to boot, this two-bedroom home is the ideal coastal escape for a small family seeking days filled with beach visits and sunshine. Offering a double bedroom and a twin, it’s perfect for kids – but everyone’s bound to love the balcony, where a small outdoor table awaits an alfresco meal or a light refreshment while taking in the sea view. When you’re ready to venture out, Bournemouth and its famous pier offer a trove of activities, while the town itself features beautiful gardens, a lively town centre, and its own stunning sandy beach.
