Fitness-friendly vacation rentals in Jurassic Coast

I stayed here for several weeks for a placement at the hospital and the apartment had everything I needed. The location was perfect for both the hospital and train station.

Lovely stay and great communication ahead of our stay, our hosts were really helpful to us, thank you! Beautiful apartment.

I was extremely impressed when I arrived. The communication throughout was amazing and the accommodation exceeding what I was expecting. Loved the card and welcome pack. I feel their is nothing that needs improving and overall very impressed and would recommend and I would stay again xx

My family and I had a wonderful time. We even extended our stay by 2 nights as we didnt want to leave. The apartment was really lovely, had everything we needed with a well equipped kitchen. My boys loved the tennis court and swimming pool. The views from the apartment were stunning overlooking the sea. we started each day with a morning (very cold) swim in the sea followed by a lovely coffee/hot chocolate from the cafe on the beach. I would highly recommend Des's apartment. We will definitely be returning

Perfect for young families. We had everything we needed. Jon and Jo were super responsive and made us feel right at home. We would defintely stay here again.

Iveta was very helpful and accommodating as we were unable to tell her our estimated time of arrival due to family circumstances. The lovely touch of chocolates and candles were appreciated. The appartment is spacious and well equipped. The parking space especially welcome as there doesn’t appear to be any other parking. Was also close to Southampton hospital which was what we needed .

A superb stay in a gorgeous annex with beautifully comfortable bed and thoughtful touches. Delicious home baked loaf for breakfast was very much appreciated.

Absolutely perfect as always, one of my favourite places to stay, thank you so much.

What a beautiful, stylish, beach-side appartment, with amazing views of the sea. We had a wonderful stay! The beds, furnishings, and all facilities are of excellent quality, making this a great place for a holiday. Annie is a wonderful Holiday Host, always so responsive and helpful, and even kind enough to reply straight away to a message we sent out of hours. Thanks Annie. We were welcomed with a lovely Devon cream tea hamper from Pebbles, who also ensured that the apartment, equipment etc, and bed-linens were pristine, and provided an iron within minutes. Thanks Pebbles. Great to have a dedicated parking spot right outside (Drivers: steep, windy road to South Sands makes the drive scenic but 'interesting'!) The apartment was fine for us for accessibility (wheelchair), having a lift right to the front door, and wide doors throughout. Recommend - Harbour Beach Spa (relaxing), Bo's cafe (beach vibe), Fortescue (friendly), SouthSands (dining), Coastal walks - and Devon beaches!

A gorgeous flat with a sea view and lots of space. An easy walk to the beach. It has its own parking space. Felt very safe, peaceful and quiet. Extremely comfortable bed.

Really good, clean, well equipped apartment. Very well located for access to the town and beyond, although obviously that does mean there is a bit of traffic noise but not too intrusive. Had we been travelling in peak summertime, personally we would have sought outdoor space but the apartment was described accurately and suited our needs perfectly. Host is very responsive, helpful and genuinely polite and welcoming.

We’re a young family of 6 and stayed for 4 nights during the Summer half-term holiday. The apartment is spacious, clean, well-equipped, and comfortable. It is very well located next to South Sands beach and adjacent to the Harbour Beach hotel. It was great to be able to make use of the pool & spa in the hotel. We all had a great time, and this apartment will definitely be on our shortlist for our next trip to Salcombe!

Nicki’s apartment at Bigbury on Sea is just great. Well equipped, amazing views and in a beautiful part of Devon. Use of the indoor pool is amazing for kids, especially when the weather is a bit mixed! Nicki gave lots of info and recommendations which were super helpful. I hope to be back at Bigbury soon!

We had a really good time staying at the apartment. It was very clean and well-presented. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped so if you wanted to self-cater, it's easy to do. Burlington Mansions is in a good location and it's easy to get to local attractions. Check in was easy and Alison was a very responsive host.

The room was in pristine condition. And, indeed, you can see the sea from the living room window. The welcome hamper was a nice touch, and welcomed after a long drive! Laith's instructions and rules of the room were clear, detailed, and very fair. Laith was highly responsive to our queries. Would recommend if you are looking for a quiet place that is easily accessible to Bournemouth (only a 10mins drive away).

Sam's place was beautiful. My friends and I loved every moment at her place! The location and view is stunning, just a few minutes away from the beach and many other great spots. The apartment is so peaceful and spacious and the perfect place to wind down and relax. A perfect stay, we can't wait to visit again!

We had a fantastic stay for a wedding nearby and Michael’s communication was excellent.

Nice place to stay, rural area, lovely views. The place is spacious, well equipped. Nice fitness area. There’s a parking space close to the entrance and also electric charging available.

Fabulous place to stay, had all we needed. Beautiful area of the country.

We had a lovely stay at Grange Cottage celebrating our daughter’s birthday. The house is fascinating, the beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was a perfect communal space especially with small children. I loved the very old barn and we had great bbq’s there. The children had a lot of fun in the garden and enjoyed collecting the chicken eggs. We did the walk along the tow path, suggested in the house guide book, which somehow ended at the pub and our son in law was pleased to visit Caen Locks ( well worth seeing, amazing engineering feat ) as he had been through them with his father some years ago. Victoria was a very helpful host and I would thoroughly recommend staying here.

We stayed at Sam’s place to celebrate my husbands birthday. From the start Sam was responsive, friendly, answered questions and gave some fab advice. When I made a request she did everything she could to make it happen. The caravan itself is in a lovely peaceful part of the park with easy walking distance to the woods for the dog to have a run and also to the beach where we wandered to the pub and then back for an ice cream. Sam clearly explained how everything worked, where everything was & what she was doing to make things perfect for her guests. Her guide for things to do was really helpful so our days were filled and never dull. I would call this caravan a proper family home, it does everything it’s suppose to so you can just relax and enjoy your holiday. When I had some sad family news, Sam went out of her way to make sure we were ok and that we didn’t need to rush out the caravan on check out, so if you want a proper family home from home that does what it says - visit here! 🩷

I had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb. The house was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described – the perfect home base for our trip. Our host, Paul, was incredibly friendly and accommodating, and he went out of his way to make sure everything was just right. He also gave us loads of great suggestions for local activities and places to check out, which really helped us make the most of our time in the area. Communication was easy and quick, and I felt genuinely welcomed from the moment I arrived. Couldn’t have asked for a better host or a better experience. Thanks again, Paul – we’d love to come back!

A wonderfully peaceful lodge and super helpful host, Abi. Deceptively spacious inside and beautiful sea views from the terrace. Terrific walks right from the front door too, wouldn’t stay anywhere else on future visits!

Serendipity is a lovely house with stunning views. Marks has designed and refurbished his house beautifully and very much with his guests in mind. The downstairs is spacious with a very large table so we as a party of nine could sit all together or in separate groups inside and outside. Well done to Mark. He is a very considerate and welcoming host.
