Waterfront vacation rentals in Test Valley District

The beach hut is a perfect retreat. It is beautifully kept and has a gorgeous private garden which goes right up to the water’s edge. It’s wonderfully located less than 5 minutes walk from the main Sandbanks beach and Rick Stein’s restaurant. The Studland chain ferry is also very close giving access to stunning Shell Bay and the wild National Trust beaches. Michele was very friendly & provided many thoughtful touches including her homemade lemon drizzle cake - sublime! I would love to return as it’s a perfect spot from which to explore this area or just to meditate on your bed with a sea view. Thanks Michele!

Great location which is why I booked it ! Very clean and some nice touches with welcome drink and chocolate. Toiletries supplied as well as dishwasher and washing machine tablets. Very pleased with this accommodation.

Great stay in a comfortable stylish apartment. The location was perfect as were travelling without a car and could easily walk everywhere. Lots of great pubs and restaurants nearby

Daniel’s apartment was a wonderful place to stay for a few nights to explore the maritime history of Portsmouth. The views from the apartment were outstanding. The apartment was spacious and spotlessly clean. The cohost was very helpful both at check-in and during our stay. The secure parking was a bonus if you are travelling by car. There is a small supermarket below the building for essentials. Outlet shopping across the road with all the major brands and also plenty of choices to dine overlooking the water. The train station across the road is busy and noisy until around 11pm but then it quietens. A great place to base yourself to explore Portsmouth.

Lovely apartment. Everything we needed. Comfortable. Loved the balcony as it gave an unhindered outlook to the bay, which we love and have visited for many years. Daughter and family in flat below so gave us a lovely family holiday. Lovely Sunday lunch at the Albion though need to make sure you have the Sunday roast menu which they forgot to give us!! All in all a great stay. Many thanks. Mike and Lecky Allwood.

I had a lovely stay. It was a last minute booking as I was in the area for work. The apartment was easy to find. Parking was simple. Everything was just perfect. I would definitely like to stay again if there is availability. Great location close to shops and restaurants. I slept really well and it was very peaceful.

What an amazing apartment. Great location right on the beach, with fantastic views of the sea from the windows. Choice of seating areas with tables, open balcony and enclosed window area. Comfortable beds. Well equipped kitchen. Easy to get to the ‘Witterings’ Chichester Marina etc. We all wished we could have stayed longer. Sam was a great person to liaise with before we arrived, nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Sam.

Sheralee's apartment is in an absolutely perfect location for enjoying a holiday in Sandbanks. The views are so beautiful and peaceful of the harbour from the balcony, bedroom window and living room window. There was everything we needed in the Airbnb and we loved eating dinner on the balcony as well as at the dining table in the living room. Would highly recommend staying here and we would love to come back another time. So lovely that there is such easy access to both the harbour side (we did kayaking there) and the beach side through the Jazz Café entrance to the beach. Also, having the Tesco Express as part of the same building was really handy to buy food from!

We loved our stay here. The place was cozy and had everything we needed. Location was perfect - very convenient for exploring Bath. Garden was a bonus - Kids enjoyed watching the chickens. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting this area!

We had a lovely weekend away! The location is perfect, so close the quay and we loved being just off the high street, it was quieter than expected in the best possible way. Tina was really helpful and quick to respond. The house was really well kitted out and we had everything we needed. The Dart Board was really fun too! Thank you for a memorable and peaceful stay.

Thi communicated fantastically throughout the process. The home was very clean and within walking distance from Chichester station. The complimentary food and fresh flowers were a great touch.

Absolutely beautiful accommodation on the clifftop with fantastic views over the sea and all along the coast, including the Isle Of Wight. Very comfortable, clean and tastefully decorated. very close to beach access and with restaurants within walking distance and a good range of shops a short drive away. Nicky was very helpful and friendly, would highly recommend.

We had a lovely few days at Little Brook, what a great find, in a quiet residential area, we felt 'at home' after our first night. The annex was spotlessly clean, and very well equipped. Carl was an excellent host, great communication. We will definitely return. Thank you Carl for a great stay.

Beautiful location on the edge of the beach. Amazing view from sitting room and main bedroom. Light and airy house with all amenities and more. Debby answered all queries immediately. Highly recommend.

what a stunning place, so clean and welcoming. beautiful linens and spotless. highly recommend and can't wait to book again!

Such an amazing house, location and hosts! We had a such a lovely weekend and couldn’t fault the house or communication. Would highly recommend and definitely hope to return another time! 😊

We had a great stay at this apartment! It was spotlessly clean and perfectly located right in the heart of Poole Harbour – everything was just a short walk away. The check-in process was smooth, with a helpful handbook sent in advance that made everything easy to follow. Really appreciated the thoughtful touches like fresh croissants, milk, and orange juice on arrival – such a lovely welcome. Would definitely stay again!

Our 2nd time staying at Claire’s apartment and we will be back! Claire is a fantastic host, really friendly and helpful and was flexible to help our circumstances.

Katie’s place was an absolute gem. My mum n nephew were visiting us and it was a perfect place to have them spend quality time with us. The place was very clean and had easy access. Thank you Katie!

Fantastic place. Any closer to the sea and you'll get wet feet. Clean everything easy tind travel wise. Peaceful evenings to relax.

Fantastic place! This is our second stay at the apartment and delighted with it. Great location and beautiful view from the apartment.

Nice clean accommodation, well decorated with everything you would need, good communication from Maureen regarding the stay. Tesco nearby for groceries, Cafe 100yds away for coffee and breakfast or dinner. We stayed for a weekend and went to eat at Rick Steins one night and Poole harbour the next night.

Absolutely charming accommodation. Really spacious and well laid out. Felt like home away from home, could have stayed here for longer and will definitely look into coming back here. Lovely walk to the nearest pub for lunch, the mill is right on the river with Stunning views of the surrounding area. Nice garden area with views of the cows in the field. The hot water was extremely hot so be careful, but it was nice to always have plenty of hot water for washing and showering. Overall a lovely private place to stay.

This a beautiful bright and very well designed pad - just 3 mins walk from a beach that goes on for miles. It's kept to a very high standards and one of the best Airbnb's I've stayed in for a long time. I would definitely recommend it and we will return
