Property details

A bright, spacious coastal home in Boscombe West - just 7 mins from the beach & perfectly placed between Bournemouth & Boscombe's best spots. - Sleeps 8 | 3 bedrooms | 8 beds | 3.5 baths - Sunny, fully fenced private backyard & patio - Fully equipped kitchen w/ all cooking essentials - Hotel-quality linen & toiletries provided - Free parking on premises & easy self check-in - Crib available for little ones Pets are NOT allowed. Just a 7-minute walk from the coast, this bright and spacious home in Boscombe West offers the kind of easy, unhurried seaside holiday that families and friend groups come back for. Three bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, and generous living spaces give everyone room to breathe - while the sunny, fully fenced private garden is ready for long summer afternoons at this time of year. Self check-in via lockbox means you arrive on your own terms, with no waiting around. Living space Natural light pours through the interiors, keeping the atmosphere warm and welcoming throughout. The living area is a comfortable place to gather after a day out, and the dining space seats the group together without a squeeze. The home sits on a quiet residential street, set back from the road, so the pace here is noticeably calmer than the busy town centre - yet everything you need is within easy walking distance. Sleeping arrangements Three bedrooms sleep up to 8 guests across 8 beds, made up with hotel-quality linen arranged by a professional housekeeper before every stay. A crib is also available for younger guests. Kitchen & dining The fully equipped kitchen is stocked with cooking basics - pots, pans, oil, salt and pepper - alongside spices, tea, and all the utensils you'd expect. There's a stainless steel electric stove, oven, microwave, hot water kettle, toaster, baking sheet, wine glasses, and a full set of dishes and silverware, so cooking in is straightforward from the first morning. A freezer and fridge complete the setup. Bathroom Three and a half bathrooms keep things practical for larger groups. Towels and toiletries are provided - shampoo, conditioner, body soap, and shower gel - so you can pack lighter and settle in faster. Outside The private, fully fenced backyard catches the sun and is a genuine asset in the summer months - somewhere to sit out with a coffee, let the kids run around, or simply decompress after the beach. A patio or balcony adds to the outdoor options. Location Boscombe West sits neatly between two sets of amenities. Bournemouth town centre - restaurants, bars, and shops - is a 10-minute walk in one direction; Boscombe, with its own dining and a major shopping centre, is equally close in the other. The nearest supermarket is a 10-minute walk or a 2-minute drive. Bournemouth railway station is around 15 minutes on foot, and a dedicated parking space in front of the property means arrivals by car are completely stress-free. The beach itself is 7 minutes away on foot - close enough to make a spontaneous trip worthwhile.

Positives loved the location nice and quiet. The house itself is very nice. Rooms are good size. Beds very comfortable and clean, bedding very clean and good quality plenty of clean thick towels. Kitchen has every thing you need plus a good washing machine and tumble dryer. Negatives walls in some of the rooms could do with a paint. Place is ok on the cleanliness side could be better. Carpet in bedroom next to shower smelt a bit weird. Tv to small in living room. Outside patio area could really be presented better with removal of weeds and nice patio furniture to sit out on. Would we stay here again..yes if these improvement were made and a little TLC to this lovely house.

Sara was incredibly helpful and sweet whenever we needed something or had a problem at any time. The place was also spotless when we arrived and there was nothing dirty when we looked in the kitchen. The bedroom downstairs with 4 beds did have a weird smell but it didn't completely ruin our stay. Would definitely recommend!

Had a fabulous short stay at Sara's property. The property looks just like it does in the photos and was really comfortable and clean. The location is fantastic. Just outside the hustle of city but so close to the beach!
