Your hideaway on Weymouth harbourside!
Really well-equipped home, great position. Light and airy, sweet courtyard.

Period Townhouse (sea views from garden decking)
A lovely property which is very well equipped, clean and comfortable. Right near the centre of Lyme Regis with a beautiful view from the top of the well kept garden. Many thoughtful extras and proactive communication which were much appreciated.

Beautiful Harbourside Apartment
A fabulous 4 night stay in this beautiful apartment in a great location with the added bonus of a balcony which we used every morning for breakfast & in the evenings with a glass of wine. it’s a great size for two people & a dog When we arrived a very thoughtful gift of scones, jam & cream & treats for the dog. Would thoroughly recommend & would love to return.

5* Cottage on Chesil Beach Dorset Jurassic Coast
Wow, what a stunning location. It's every bit as beautiful as in the photos. We watched glorious sunsets from the terrace and enjoyed walks on the beach. I enjoyed looking around the immaculately kept gardens and could have watched the colourful koi in the pond for hours, plus the two cute horses in the field. Andrew's directions to the house are spot-on, please don't trust your satnav or you risk being taken down some very narrow lanes with grass growing in the middle and no passing places. Ask me how I know. There is no mobile reception at the house, as you would expect given the location, but the wifi is very good. Beds and bedding super comfortable.

Stylish flat by the beach with stunning sea views.
Super experience here. Great place, location, and host. It has everything you need. Sebastian provides a lot of really useful information. Great hiking right out the door. Highly recommend!

Seafront coastal holiday home near New Forest
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.

Cosy retreat with woodfired bathtub
Amazing hut, amazing location, amazing owners, beautiful garden, very close drive to the beach, very thoughtful welcome snacks and a great booklet with all the advice you need to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Would highly recommend to everyone that wants to stay in Milford on sea! Thank you again Diz for you great hosting and beautiful air BnB stay!

Southbourne Chalet close to the clifftop
The location of Jackie's Cabin was perfect location for the beach. It was quiet but near enough to be handy for the Pubs, two minutes walk to the Kettle and Spyglass and five to six minutes to the Commodore. Good parking. Lovely patio garden, with furniture and cushions. Reasonable clothes hanging space in the wardrobe. Comfy bed. Good shops and restaurants just ten minutes away. All in all a good stay. Satellite TV.

Luxurious holiday home at Weymouth Bay
We stayed for 3 nights. The holiday house was spacious enough to fit family of 4. Plenty of room to play for little ones. Very clean and well organised. The only improvement I could suggest would be to install slim dishwasher but it was perfect anyway. I would recommend and come back.

Panoramic Sea Views, quiet, relaxed, Cozy, Beach
I’ve just returned from a four night stay at this property and all we can say is ‘thank you’. The host was very helpful with initial questions and answered my enquiries promptly and fully. On the morning of our arrival she made contact and this was very reassuring and appreciated. We were super impressed by the property as it was better than the photos! The layout was excellent and perfect for our stay (my son has mobility issues). Every part of the chalet was clean, well appointed and clearly the host had thought a great deal about the customer experience. All through the property there were considerate details (pods for the dishwasher and washing machine) and a well stocked kitchen, to name but two. The arrival pack was outstanding and very detailed to offer the best possible stay. I cannot recommend this properly enough and we intend to book again for next year. Thank you for sharing this property and caring so much for the customers.

Sea view chalet, Shaldon, Devon
The host, Julie, was really helpful and responsive to our messages. Beautiful surroundings and the views from the chalet were incredible. We were visiting old friends and neighbours and it was an excellent base. The walk down into Shaldon along the golf course was convenient and stunning but be prepared for the walk back up!! The chalet had everything we needed and was really nicely decorated with comfy sofas and beds. Wish we were there longer and would love to go back.

Luxury Lodge l Sea view | Beach | Pool
We got to the Wales Retreat and from the moment we walked in we flet so at home with the cosy features. The property smelt beautiful all throughout. Everything was spotless and even the fridge was equipped with essentials which was greatly recieved. The loaction is absolutely beautiful and I was in love with our own secluded private decking area with the most comfiest beanbag seats! Pet friendly which was a bonus for our GSP - she loved having a little area outside of her own and tje site was very welcoming to dogs. We will really be booking in again although we sre struggling to find your availability! 🙂

Lodge by the sea to cater for all ages
Great place, well kept, everything works well, beds comfy, felt like a safe place, would definitely go again!

Devon Cliffs Exmouth 6 berth static holiday home
Emily has a lovely caravan in a quiet spot on an otherwise busy site. The caravan felt surprisingly spacious and it was great to have that second toilet available. It was also lovely and very convenient to have the shower. The site offers a lot for families with several play areas, crazy golf and swimming pools.

5* waterside luxury boathouse - pool & log-burner
Catharine was an amazing host and Driftwood is absolutely beautiful in a perfect setting for our group get together. The hosts were fantastic and couldn’t do enough to help, even accommodating an earlier check in for us. Could not recommend this stunning home enough!

East Creek + beach side + pool, dog Ringstead Bay
location was absolutely perfect for a relax and a decent walk everyday, we paddle boarded up the coast both ways and the scenery was stunning and finished most days with a swim in the pool. if you're after a close too everything place too stay this isn't the place for you but if you're looking for a break away from the world then this will tick all your boxes 🤗

Seascape - a Luxurious Coastal Escape
Seascape is a quiet, spacious and well decorated apartment next to the sea, and within walking distance of the Ryde passenger ferry, bus terminal and town centre. It's good base for exploring the Isle of Wight or just staying in Ryde and taking advantage of the local facilities. The interior is very comfortable and of a high standard. We were very pleased to find some provisions on our arrival, including a loaf of bread, butter, milk and eggs, as well as some ice creams in the freezer. My partner and I would strongly consider returning at a future date.

2 bed seafront apartment seconds from beach Dorset
Fabulous place, fantastic views from living room and master bedroom, perfect place. Such a great location just across the road from the beach and a few minutes walk from the harbour and town centre. The sound of the pebbles washing up the beach lulled us to sleep. Thank you Anna!

Broadlands in Charmouth 100m to the beach.
Everything was really clean and had everything you needed. It was lovely that there was milk, tea and coffee available after a long journey. Angela and her husband came to say hello on arrival which was very nice. The apartment was so close to the beach. Good parking facilities at the house and at the beach. it would’ve been nice to have somewhere to sit outside as the sun was shining late into the evening. We had a fabulous weekend and will return for a longer stay possibly next year.

34 Monmouth Beach
We had an amazing 3 days in this great cabin RIGHT ON THE BEACH!!! We absolutely loved it. It was wonderfully quiet and peaceful - we couldn't recommend it highly enough. It helped of course that we had fab weather! It is extremely well designed and equipped and there is plenty of room for 2 people. (The mezzanine might be challenging for a big bloke...!) We found good and varied places to eat in Lyme Regis which is a unique and delightful place. The coastline is stunning. Go!

Scenic Top Floor flat in Bournemouth Centre
The location was ideal to get to the beach and into town. The apartment was modern and clean and as advertised with a lovely Balcony. Sonya left bottled water and snacks which was a nice touch, the check in and out process smooth and her communication throughout first rate. I would recommend this as a place to stay when visiting Bournemouth.

Charlottesview - On The Beach with Parking inc.
Perfect weekend break in beautiful Weymouth. Andrew was a great host, very welcoming and was kind enough to wait up for us as we arrived a little late. Apartment was lovely, clean and comfortable, sea view is stunning, easy access straight out onto the beach. Lots of nice places to eat and drink all within a short walk and beach is beautiful, super clean. Thanks Andrew, we will definitely be booking to come back again

Stunning Sea View Home 2 Minutes Walk to the Beach
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.

DAWLISH SPECTACULAR LUXURY HONEYMOON SUITE
Fantastic hosts – thanks so much. And the place was really well-stocked; I've put on half a kilo eating sodding after eights. Enjoyed nattering with you and oh – the view and the sound of the waves was great – and this from a Cornishman who grew up watching the coast. Thanks both. We had a great time and might even buy the house next door…
