Amazing location and great apartment

We spent a lovely week in Sandbanks, the apartment is in a fab location, with a partial sea view from the lounge which we loved! Literally a couple minutes walk to the beach, the quieter end of the beach near the ferry which we prefer! The apartment was airy, spacious and clean. So handy having a washing machine and dishwasher! Parking was no problem, we got a space every time. It suited our needs perfectly and we would happily stay again :)

Amazing location

After visiting for several years, we already knew the area, but we had one of the best holidays ever, mainly due to this lovely accommodation and its location. We parked on arrival and didn't use our car until we departed - everything you need is within walking distance or we used the buses which run very regularly. The accommodation is bright and airy, and we felt at home immediately. We brought lots of things with us, but there was no need as the kitchen has everything you need for self-catering. I can't express how much we enjoyed our stay other than to say we have already booked for next year!

Lovely apartment

Lovely well appointed apartment. Handing for buses to Bournemouth and Swanage. Thought it was a bit overpriced. Walking to Bournemouth meant negotiating a beach so not easy. Nearest beach allowed dogs on it so was good if you had a dog. Unfortunately we didn’t so walked to a nice dog free beach.

Amazing Location & Modern Apartment

You literally can’t beat the location - so close to the beach and it’s a really nice airy and modern apartment. It’s worth flagging for any elderly guests there isn’t a lift (my mum is 76 and would have struggled if I wasn’t there to carry up bags) and if you’re not a dog lover the beach at this end is teaming with dogs (not all owners were ‘picking up’ after them), but these are the only two slight downsides. But, on the flip side this end of the beach is quieter. We loved everything else about out stay - you cant beat the location. The beach is so close, you really don’t have to drive anywhere. There are also good and easy bus links into Bournemouth and Poole and there are 2 restaurants walking distance away for evening meals (one child friendly) and there are also lunch options at either Haven cafe by the ferry, or the Sandbanks cafe (bit further of a walk). We got parked OK and then just didn’t move the car after that - either walked or took buses. Would recommend 😊

Excellent as always

Having just returned from our second stay in this apartment on Sandbanks we can whole heartedly recommend both the property and location. It was great being out and about knowing we had such nice accommodation to return to in the evening. And only a few metres from surely the best beaches in the UK.

Lovely flat in a beautiful location

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely flat in Sandbanks. Just a couple of minutes walk to the beach and close to some good restaurants. The flat currently has a great sea view due to building work opposite! Spotlessly clean and well furnished. We had a very comfortable stay and hope to return.

June break in Sandbanks

We had a fabulous week in this apartment in Sandbanks. Location for the beach was amazing and we even had a bonus sea view due to building work across the road! We ate at Rick Stein, Shell Bay and Oriel and had drinks at the brand new Lazy Jacks. Visited some lovely beaches, walked on the cliffs and went on the ferry to Brownsea. The apartment is spotlessly clean and really well appointed. Highly recommended.

Staycation

Easy process, great apartment, there were only two of us so plenty of space. Only a few minutes walk from beach and Ferry. 15 min walk to nearest shop. Very quiet area - shame about the house being built directly opposite which will block out view of the sea. Had it not been for the building work would have scored a 5.
