Clean, comfortable and convenient.
Clean, comfortable, and convenient. A lovely week at this well positioned property. 5 mins from the sea or the shops, good facilities, excellent shower (always welcome after a day at the beach). Lots of Information on local amenities and also on how everything worked in the flat. Plenty of books and DVDs for a rainy day. Would recommend.

Luxurious apartment within easy reach of the beach. Very highly recommended.
The apartment was very comfortably furnished and exceptionally well maintained. Appliances worked well and without complication. We loved the spacious shower! Good provision of crockery, glassware etc. Generous supply of towels. Location was excellent - five minutes from the sea. Reception arrangements were first class. Crucially, host was communicative, friendly, and extremely helpful.

Lovely, clean apartment.
We took our elderly mother for a few days. Everything you could need for a relaxing holiday was there. There are a few steps around the flat which can be a nuisance but would go back again.

Lovely apartment in Boscombe
Lovely apartment, beautifully furnished and equipped and very accurate description of the location. As one person in our party has difficulty walking at times the back door to the car park was very useful. The owners were very helpful with the arrangements.

Excellent family holiday in Boscombe
Stayed for 7 nights in this lovely, clean apartment. All rooms on one level. Easy access to allocated car parking space. Close to Boscombe high street so could shop at Sainsburys without driving. 5 mins walk to beautiful sandy beach and walks to Bournemouth and Mudeford Spit. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful Boscombe Break
A brilliant holiday home for a family. For the four of us, it was perfect with close proximity to the beach, to Boscombe and all the lovely cafes and bakeries, and to Bournemouth. Also, it’s got great road links to places like Swanage, Corfe Castle and Weymouth, as well as Durdle Door and Lulworth cove. The accommodation is of a high standard. It’s a beautiful building-great gym and pool table to which we had access. Communications with Teresa was exceptional-she was so helpful and nothing ever too much trouble. I would strongly recommend it (but hope I don’t shoot myself in the foot with availability as we will be returning again).

Beautiful clean and well presented flat in great location
We stayed here during a heat wave and we were pleased to see the flat remained nice and cool throughout. Well presented clean flat with a dishwasher and washing machine which were very useful. Great location for beach days/ sea swims and runs along the front. Also some nice restaurants in the area.

Sanctuary
We were lucky to find this apartment for 3 weeks whilst we waited for a house purchase to complete. It has everything that you need for normal living, fully equipped, great TV package and broadband, two bathrooms, one being an en-suite shower room. Comfortable for 4 adults. The use of a side door out to the car park helped with arrival and departure and of course, there is a parking space. Books and games as well. The shops are 5 minutes away including a supermarket and Boots. There are a few good restaurants and cafes nearby and the beach is just a few minutes down the hill. As a vacation spot, I think it would be great. Super stay.
