We stayed in September for a short break . The apartment was fantastic, really large and spacious, clean and has everything you would need whilst you were. The games room and gym were a great extra bonus to use too and handy with direct access from the apartment.
Boscombe beach is just a 5 min wald down the hill and some nice restaurants a two min walk away.
It's a great base for exploring the coastline and the host was very helpful and accomodating. Will be back!

Comfortable & nice location
Very comfortable apartment, location is residential but close to amenities of Boscombe and Bournemouth. Loved the restaurant James & White just down the hill and Urban Reef for breakfast. Lovely walks along the beach too.
Two showers would be an improvement.

Spacious apartment in a great location
We had a family holiday for 1 week consisting of 4 adults aged 20-47.The apartment is clean and tidy and had all of the cooking equipment and utensils you could need with the bonus of a gas BBQ which we used twice. It's nice to have the outdoor space to eat outside. Good to have a designated parking space right by the main entrance. The Gym/Pool table has sanitising products available for peace of mind. The location is literally 5 minutes down hill to the flat sandy beach and Pier. All of the areas around Bournemouth were extremely clean and litter free. A great place to be based for travelling around the area or just relaxing and strolling along the beach or Chine gardens. A lovely break for us all and I would recommend a visit.

Fantastic holiday! Fantastic Apartment!
We rented this apartment as our summer family holiday, for a week. We had such a wonderful time. The apartment has everything we needed, and we felt completely home. The apartment is very family focussed, with a travel cot and an immaculately clean high chair, and DVDs and board games for the kids when they needed some down-time.
The location is perfect! We spent our days on the beach and walking around the beautiful gardens of Boscombe/Bournemouth. We will definitely be coming back!

Relaxing stay in Boscombe
We visited in the late May bank holiday and spent 4 days in the apartment.
The owners suggestions were great, especially liked the restaurant for Sunday lunch just a 10min drive along the coast.
The apartment is large and has everything you could possibly want. It’s a 5min walk down to the beach and while we visited Sandbanks and Bournemouth, my wife and I actually preferred Boscombe beach for the flat, Sandy expanse with fewer visitors.
Boscombe town centre is very typical seaside town centre, it’s a little run down in places but still has some charming features and useful to have shops 5mins away so you don’t have to jump in the car.
All in all, a very good place to visit.

Perfect location and set up
We were down for a mini break and to run the Bournemouth Marathon. We had a great time and our run was good as well - the start for the run was about a 20 minute walk. Location and apartment we're just right. Thank you.
