Apartment vacation rentals in Poole Harbour

Great location, large clean, comfortable apartment with everything you needed for a welcome break

Great flat. Very clean and welcoming. Close to local restaurants and lovely walks along the quay. Bonus was a secure place to leave our bikes!

Great place to stay, everything was in easy reach and walkable, beach, shops, town centre etc. clean, tidy, comfortable & clear instructions. would stay again.

Flat was clean, comfortable and in a great location, the perfect base for exploring the area. We walked everywhere and didn’t use the car until we drove home. Thank you Kevin, we’ve had a wonderful stay.

Beautifully clean place to stay. Very well done and we had a great break in Swanage. Brilliant walks and coastline. Always found a space with the on street parking. Would highly recommend!

Excellent stay during the Easter holidays 2025. Great location right by the beach. The property is a comfortable 3-bed flat which suited us (family of 4) perfectly. No real gripes to speak of and felt like very good value-for-money. Steve was a great host and communication was spot on. We'll definitely be going back again.

Lovely property it had all the amenities. Good location. Near the centre of Swanage, about 10 minute walk. Lots of restaurants and shops. Near the beach. There a smart tv with Netflix, YouTube Disney+, everything you have with smart tv.

We had a great stay in Swanage, the flat was clean and comfortable and everything worked. We especially enjoyed the central heating as it wasn’t the warmest weather. All in all we couldn’t fault it, so a five star rating.

This is as our second time staying at Elizabeth’s place (first time in the flat upstairs which has 3 bedrooms). It is very close to where our son and family live, which is great and has everything we needed to have our 2 granddaughters over for a couple of sleepovers. They had a lovely time and enjoyed playing on the trampoline and swings in the garden. The flat itself is beautifully clean and well kitted out. Would definitely stay again. Thanks Liz.

Property is ideal for 1-2 people to stay in Bournemouth. The property has parking on site and is accessed into a Private court yard area that I was not expecting but think it would be a lovely benefit on a warmer period. I also found everything walkable from this location, however if you did have trouble walking up hill then it may not be right for you. The beach and pier are within 5 minutes walk and there are a number of local pubs and restaurants in and around the area. There is also the benefit of a local shop, only 2 mins from the property so really everything you would need. The property itself is well laid out and has all I needed for my 4 night stay and gaining access was very simple with just a phone call for final instructions. I will be back to Bournemouth in the near future and if this is available again at that time then I would definitely book again.

Great little flat in a very quiet cul-de-sac, lovely space felt right at home. responsive and helpful host. recommended and would stay again

My 6 year old and myself had a lovely stay in Alison’s house. Absolutely perfect location and having a little one with me it was nice to be able to pop back frequently. The apartment was super clean, really comfy beds, light and airy and a nice space to relax. The kitchen had everything you could think of. Alison was very responsive to messages. We would definitely like to stay again.

Lovely flat ideal for a weekend getaway Spotlessly clean, great communication and instruction from the host and the hot tub an absolute must

Stunning location, who wouldn't want to wake up and see the sea. David was a great host, he checked to make sure we got in OK and checked that the wi-fi and heating were working. The flat was spotless, we felt right at home. I will definitely stay at this flat again. the flat was located right next to my favourite places in Swanage Gee Whites and Snackbar both a must visit 😁

I would just like to take this opportunity to thank sunny for his warm welcome and his beautifully designed accommodation... Full of quirky design and comfort. I would recommend this accommodation to anyone visiting Bournemouth.

We had a great stay at Annabel’s, super peaceful, beautiful garden and the flat had everything we needed. Highly recommend.

I went for the Easter long weekend with my mum and friend. Anna is super lovely and made the whole stay great. It was self check in but she was available over message and very responsive. The flat is super clean, comfortable and spacious. We had treatments at Annas salon (massages and facials) and we all agreed they were the best we ever had. Couldn't recommend enough!

Great location and lovely flat, spacious for a 2 bedroom and really nice kitchen area. The hot tub got a lot of use, we all loved it and would definitely rebook. Nice and peaceful area over the road from the beach, but quick to chain ferry to Knoll beach and Studland etc. Worth noting that it’s worth planning food in advance, there is a very small Tesco in Sandbanks for essentials only. Restaurant wise on Sunday eve we were a bit stuck when Lazy Jacks closed at 5pm rather than 8pm with no explanation. Would bring more meal prep with us next time.

After being let down on New Years Eve by someone else we booked Jonathan's place with less than 24 hours notice. He was extremely helpful and really flexible. We checked in early and also had a late check out at no extra cost. The apartment is clean, and big with care and attention to the decor. The hot tub was excellent. Jonathan was really responsive to a few questions we had and it made a real difference to have the personal touch instead of a faceless booking agent. The location is superb, shops one way and beach the other. We will most definitely be back.

We had a wonderful stay here. The place was so clean and had everything we needed. The pool and hot tub was fantastic. The beds were so comfy (and I am super picky about this). The location was great, we had such a great stay, my daughter did not want to leave.

Wow is all I can say. If we could give 6 stars we would have. Karen and Lee are so attentive, friendly and welcoming. The place is ideal location, quiet and lovely. the place is perfect to stay, the hot tub and garden is so tranquil and peaceful, all the amenities are perfect. The breakfast bits and cooking oil, seasons etc are an added touch! Honestly we loved it here and would definitely return! Thanks both 😃

The accommodation with Phoebe and Khalid met all my expectations. I particularly liked the proximity to the train station and the beautiful beach, as I only travelled by public transport. Grocery shops, restaurants and pubs are just around the corner and yet the location is quiet. The room is functionally furnished, the bed is incredibly comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped with cooking utensils as well as spices, oil, vinegar, coffee etc., which I have never found before and appreciated all the more. As the AirBnB area has a separate entrance, there is less contact with the hosts and you have a lot of privacy. As you receive an access code before you arrive, you are flexible in terms of time and don't have to be there at a pre-arranged time. I would definitely book this accommodation again. Thank you very much for the wonderful time I was able to spend in your home! Nicole

We had a great time at The Gate. The accommodation was well presented and located in a perfect location, very easy to get around and within minutes to the beach. This was particularly great as it is walking distance we managed to convince the kids for all of us to go for morning swims(the weather was great so that helped too). Emma(the host) provided all the information we required so everything was super easy to find in the house. Emma also recommended some fantastic places to eat and dine which we loved. We particularly loved the Travelling Tavern once again within minutes of the house which is great for families and has live music a few days of the week. All around a Great place to stay with a Great Host and a Great location to visit.

Perfect location, very helpful host, would highly recommend for couples to explore the Island, and of course the bonus of use of the hot tub. We will return next time we are on the Island without the family. Thank you
