Guests appreciate the helpfulness of the owner, Mike, and the peacefulness of the area. While most reviews are positive, a few guests have noted issues with cleanliness and maintenance.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the apartment clean and comfortable, but there were some concerns about musty smells, stained carpets, and mouldy grouting. These issues seem to be exceptions rather than the rule.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the beach, local buses, and amenities like a Co-op and a bistro. It is considered an excellent base for exploring Dorset and the New Forest.
Guests generally find the apartments comfortable, with good space and nicely furnished rooms. However, there are some remarks about the quality of the beds affecting comfort.
The apartments are described as well-equipped with amenities like washing machines, smart TVs, and WiFi. Some minor maintenance issues were mentioned, such as broken toilet roll holders and basin plugs.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the owner, so it is not possible to assess this category.
About this property
Blue Water 8 is a spacious ground floor apartment in the heart of Southbourne and only a stroll away from golden beaches of Bournemouth's dazzling shores. This single-storey accommodation has level access from the front door and throughout, making it easy for those slightly less able on their feet. The bright, open-plan living room offers the ideal place for relaxing together and planning holiday adventures. The kitchen is well-appointed for cooking up a tasty dinner to be enjoyed at the dining table. Then you can sit out on the balcony and enjoy the last of the days’ sun washed down with a glass of wine. Alternatively, you can take a stroll along the beachfront and watch the sunset and on return, choose from two bedrooms to catch your rest for the night. The master bedroom has its very own en-suite shower room and adjoining balcony. Wake up slowly in the morning with your first coffee of the day and step outside to a fresh coastal breeze. The second bedroom is set up as a twin with two single beds, while the family bathroom has a bath, where you can soak away any troubles, with a shower over for another option. Bournemouth beach and pier is a 4-mile walk along the seafront and Hengistbury Head visitor centre is just also close by. If you want to explore further afield there are plenty of exciting places to visit including, the famous Sandbanks, Brownsea Island and Poole Harbour accessed by ferry and slightly farther afield is the Studland and Godlingston Heath National Nature Reserve. A lovely choice for your next holiday in Dorset.

Although owner very welcoming, and said we could contact him at any time, we do think that a welcome pack would be useful. For example-nearest doctors, hospital, taxis, best places to eat etc. Plus the wi-fi code more clearly visible. We did have a very nice relaxing holiday and visited some lovely places. Thank you
