Waterfront vacation rentals in Swanage

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!

Accommodation is very homely and comfortable with lots of home comforts. It is a perfect location for access to beach, harbour and town with ease of access to some lovely bars and restaurants. Fantastic location for beautiful walks. We’ve stayed here many times and will do so again.

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.

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.

I have just spent a couple of nights at Emily's place with my daughter. The flat is really lovely. It is absolutely spotlessly clean, stylish, and homely. Lots of thought has clearly gone in to make it a comfortable place to stay. The bed and sofa bed are so comfortable. Good quality kitchen wear, bathroom, and TV make for a luxurious feel. The location is very central, with the added bonus of parking. Luke & Emily we're very communicative and very kindly allowed us to check-in early. Super hosts and highly recommendable place to stay.

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 😁

A perfect last minute getaway for new year tranquillity. Although the weather wasn't the best we got out still and we would definitely love to return spring/summer time as the waters /surrounding the property would be so beautiful I'm sure if it wasn't already. The bed was super comfy. The space was ideal and enough to feel comfort for our visit. Thanks for the friendly welcome... Relaxed Gestures and fresh bread too.

We had a great stay at Ruth's place. Everything was as described and the flat was just as good as all the previous reviews have stated. The flat is very near to two pubs - the Spyglass and Kettle and the Commodore. The Spyglass has lovely seating outside and the Commodore has a very good menu. We had some great days out and were able to get the number 70 bus outside the apartment to some of them. Firstly, Hengistbury Head which only takes about 15 mins on the bus. There is a cafe there and another one on the other side where all the posh beach huts are. You can also pick up the same bus there to go to Christchurch which is only about another 10 minutes in the same direction. We also got the same bus into Bournemouth. Other recommendations are: Compton Acres which is a beautiful garden, set in woodland and Harry's Rocks which involves a pleasant one mile walk from Studland Car Park. Thank you, Ruth, for a wonderful stay.

Really enjoyed our stay, group of 4 plus small dog and we all had a great time.Loved the beach and the beach bar near by.Great place to explore from and went to Bournemouth ( got ladies into Nici Spa which I can recommend )and Mudeford Quay first a bit of crabbing and exploring. Thank you.

Lovely house with the added bonus of a parking space. The house was beautifully presented and spotlessly clean. It was very well stocked with everything you could want and it's a very easy short walk to the beach. I absolutely would recommend this.

We had a great week, enjoying coastal walks and cycling and the local pub. The house is very comfortable and well-equipped. It has the most wonderful views from the open plan living space which you can’t really appreciate from the photos. Graeme was really helpful / responsive.

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

We had the most fantastic time - the lodge was clean, beautifully furnished and cosy on a cold March evening with the wood burner - loved the record player with the albums - The little touches such as biscuits, coffee and croissants were appreciated as were the refillable bottles of hand wash, shampoo etc. You can immediately tell that the owners have put a lot of hard work and love into their property. My friends and I were together for our 50th birthday celebrations and downtime from our hectic lives and we couldn’t have picked a more idyllic spot. Beautiful walks, fabulous scenery and such a calm quiet place. An ideal location to explore the coast and also the local high street with pubs and restaurants is an easy walk - the hot tub was an absolute added bonus. All communication from the hosts was spot on - Thank you and we will be back again.

Fabulous location in a beautiful cottage with everything we needed for our short stay. A bigThank You to our Host April. We had a wonderful time. Kindest regards , Merlo , April and Tom .

We stayed with our dog over new year, from arrival we loved the place, great views from the bedroom just lying in bed and from the living room. A pub was only 0.3 miles from the house and we enjoyed a leisurely walk into Poole Quay crossing the Twin Sails Bridge, plenty of places to eat and drink with a dog, and somehow the walk back seemed quicker. Really enjoyed our stay and felt very home from home. The welcome box was super nice one for us and one for our dog, really nice touch.

Just returned from a lovely weekend stay here. The house is in a fantastic position with spectacular views out to sea, the kids and I enjoyed walking out along the path and playing on the beach. My girls loved the mini toy kitchen in the garden. The house had everything we needed and a great base for going in and around the New Forest. All info and instructions were very clear about the property and I'd definitely recommend.

Wonderful Stay – Highly Recommended! We had an absolutely fantastic stay at this property! From the moment we arrived, everything was just perfect. The place was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and had all the amenities we could possibly need. The beds were super comfortable, and we especially appreciated the peaceful atmosphere – perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. Our host was incredibly friendly and helpful, providing us with great tips for local attractions and making sure we had everything we needed. The location was also ideal – close to everything, yet quiet enough to truly unwind. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. We would definitely come back again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and memorable stay.

The flat’s location was perfect with easy access to the harbour and beach. Just beautiful for walks. The decor was gorgeous and the family felt instantly relaxed. It was great having the shoe room to hang out the washing. Kitchen was well stocked. We loved our time and would visit again next time we are in Poole.

Stunning property, beautifully presented and Chris is a brilliant host. Thank you we would love to stay again!

60 steps from pavement to flat, but so worth it. lovely flat, just like the pictures. stairs a bit narrow. comfy bed, netflix, and lovely plants

This is a beautiful apartment right on the sea front. It was super clean, easy to access, spacious and perfect for our long weekend getaway. We will absolutely be returning!

A great few days stay at Tara’s place over the bank holiday weekend. Great communication with Tara (very responsive) and provided us with details on local building work which though didn’t impact our stay greatly was really appreciative. A great location to watch the world go by and our two daughters loved the bunk beds! Highly recommend.

we are just back after a lovely weekend. We came down Friday and Martin messaged to say we could get in early, a massive plus for me as I have Parkinsons and get tired, so was nice to get in, sit with a cuppa (and a yummy biscuits that were supplied, thankyou), then go off exploring. The flat is the ideal place with a wonderful view from sitting on the sofa, and easy access to the beach, shops, bars etc and heading off for walks. We are sussed we could park for free with my blue badge just along from the flat, perfect :-) Martin was the perfect host, gave us all the info we needed for getting in, and like I say early checkin. Yes the kitchen is small but my partner and my self where fine, even both being on the larger size. I think it's perfect, everything we needed. the round bed was a novelty lol but yes very comfy. basically a perfect place I highly recommend and if we are in swanage again would def rent again, thankyou Martin :-)

What can I say, before we even left our own home I had all the information I could ever need about the air B&B and the local surroundings. Check in was really easy, a welcome basket of treats was an added bonus that was enjoyed by all. The whole place was super clean and the rooms were cosy and comfortable. We loved looking around at all the art on the walls and those amazing views from the sitting area. The check out instructions were really easy to follow. We look forward to coming back and enjoying the walks and peace and quiet that we found over the last few days.
