Beachfront vacation rentals in Southbourne

A truly luxurious peaceful weekend with good friends. Beautiful home, so comfortable- had everything we needed. Location is excellent for beach/es and walks. Comfortable beds, plenty of room: six of us did yoga in the hall! Hot tub was fun, plenty of outdoor chairs and tables and the BBQ was perfect for a meal on the Saturday eve. Host Louise was lovely. Thanks so much for the experience: plenty of memories made:)

Family get away for 7 of us & our dog, would highly recommend this property, its immaculate, close to all amenities, excellent restaurants & a beach all within 5 minutes walk from the house, parking for 3 cars & Christchurch a short car drive away.

Thank you Aimee & Paul. After spending the perfect weekend at your Airbnb, we clearly see and absolutely agree with why you’ll are super hosts!! From the communication, to the quality of the accommodation & amenities to the welcoming touches with Prosecco & snacks, your thoughtfulness just made our holiday perfect!! The decor was bright, modern & beautiful; the house and furniture was spotless and the house had everything you would need for a weekend getaway. We were 9 people and a dog and there was ample room for everyone. We couldn’t be happier. The only issue is that since this was our first Airbnb adventure, we’ve now got our bar set too high 😊 Thanks once again for allowing us a fabulous few days in Bournemouth in your beautiful house.

Sebastian is a great host with a uniquely delightful home. His art work made the accommodation more personal and he was generous in his insistence that we should use any basic cupboard items when catering for ourselves. It was clearly an apartment that he also uses and it felt homely as a result. Decor was superb and views wonderful.

We had a lovely 3 night stay as a family of 4 plus our dog and would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to explore the new forest and coast. The accommodation was lovely and clean with lots of thoughtful touches, and finished to a high standard plus the view of the sea is a real bonus! Nicky was a great host

Believe the reviews - Felicity's (Diz's) place is a gem! The place is incredibly peaceful and tranquil, surrounded by nature. Many local walks are nearby, with a beach and places to enjoy. The location for exploring the New Forest is also excellent. Diz is a helpful and hospitable host. One of our best Airbnb stays.

Slight concern about parking but easy to unload by front door. Then spaces to park on Durlston Road and in evening there were spaces by front door :-)) moved cars down did not need to move them again so easy departure.

Really lovey place to stay, very functional and close to all the places we wanted to visit. It felt very homey and comfortable. We all had a wonderful time, thank you for hosting us!

We had a great time staying at Hoburne Naish. Great location, with plenty to do in the local area. The lodge was really clean, tidy and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely little caravan on a family run park. Caravan was clean and today and had necessary amenities required for our stay. Location was great, just a stones throw from Mudeford Quay and Avon Beach. Heated outdoor pool on site and small lounge / bar area. Parking spot right next to caravan.

Fantastic experience from start to finish. The host left our son a toy Easter bunny which was a lovely touch. The van was pristine and felt right at home. Me and my partner were amazed with how well equipped the van was and what the host had supplied. You name it this vans got it! Thank you again for a brilliant experience for me and my family. The clubhouse and leisure centre was fantastic as well 👍🏼

The accommodation was in a beautiful location with plenty to do near by. It was very clean and very well laid out. It had everything you needed inside, plus more. Every little detail was thought of and catered for. It had the right balance of feeling like you were staying away but also with those home touches. The little gifts were also a very welcome surprise. I would highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.

As soon as we walked into the lodge we felt at home. It was far better prepared than another lodge we have used on that site. (Not Mud Huts) We booked another stay for September when we arrived home.

We had a lovely time in Richard's place. Everything was as described and immaculately clean. He was very responsive and gave us very clear instructions and very useful tips on local restaurants, things to do etc. The hot tub was amazing and the girls enjoyed using the swimming pool. The location is ideal to get to the Needles, Alum Bay, Freshwater etc and the local beach is an absolute plus! Thanks Richard!

We had an amazing stay! The accommodation was perfectly located - just a few steps from the beach, with a small sea view and tucked away enough to feel peaceful and private. It made it so easy to pop back and forth throughout the day. The site itself was fantastic, with both children's and adults' pools that were not just "heated" but actually warm and inviting, such a treat! The luxury sun loungers around the pool were a lovely touch. The home was immaculate, spacious, and comfortably and would easily fit four. We honestly can’t wait to come back!

John's apartment is very comfortable, and conveniently situated close to the beach and a short walk from the town. Everything was spotlessly clean and fresh. John was very communicative and we appreciated the welcome pack of milk, bread, savoury and sweet treats left for us.

We were a multigenerational family group , including young grandchildren, wanting a nice relaxing holiday by the seaside, with things to do for everyone. The Gate House was exactly what we needed, with lots of room and excellent facilities! We had shared time and privacy with large communal living and dining space and a lovely enclosed safe garden and outdoor dining facilities. We knew the area but the recommended dining options were excellent. Great beers from The Bus, excellent wood fire pizzas from the beach pop up, great burgers by Fat Shaun and a Greek takeaway from the Piano bar.,with Sunset drinks in The Albion. An easy short walk to the beach, which though a bit pebbly was an ideal location on the sunny days for family fun, with Sandcastles. The sea was good for paddling, jumping and swimming and easy access to the cafe for drinks and ice creams. Sam and Simon were excellent hosts and we have no problem in recommending this fantastic holiday venue and hosts!

Lovely stay at kellys apartment. Kelly messaged to say we could arrive earlier if we wanted to, which was very helpful with three children. The apartment was beautiful, very spacious. Would definitely recommend to others and visit again ourselves.

We had an amazing time at Annie’s place. She was always available by phone and easy to communicate with. We were warmly welcomed by her husband, Mark, and her son, Oshi, who were both incredibly helpful. Mark, in particular, was a lot of fun and went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable. The property looked exactly like the listing—if not better in person. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and would definitely return!

We had a wonderful stay, helped by perfect weather. The location is fabulous with panoramic views of the bay

Apartment is amazing - spotlessly clean, great location. Photos don't really do it justice. Highly recommended - we all had a fabulous time

We have just returned from a relaxing 3 days over New Year 2024 to 2025. Ideal size for 3 couples with a bathroom for each couple. Living area was great with a nice modern open plan kitchen living and dining area. Cooking facilities were very good with modern appliances which made catering for our group very easy. Main fridge freezer was complemented by a separate wine cooler All the bedrooms were of a good size as were the beds with the exception of the double in the 3rd bedroom which felt small ( we have a super king at home so it may have just been an adjustment to that ) We stayed close to the house and ate at the Lake Yard which is 5 mins walk away. Whilst it is a members club we were able to book a meal which was subject to a 20% non members price increase. We ate at The Yachtsman on NYE. Luke the host was very responsive and helpful answering any queries quicker than advised and we all appreciated the welcome basket. Good trip had by all

What a wonderful place to stay! Perfect location in a lovely park with loads to do. The place was perfect! Comfortable and spacious and had everything we needed to have an amazing holiday! Judy was great, accommodating and super helpful and friendly. Thanks for a great trip! We will be back for sure;)
