About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Your holiday is just 100m from award winning beaches on Sandbanks peninsular.

Flat 5 is a larger than average (1000 sq ft) bright and modern, first floor apartment set in its own grounds with sea glimpses from the balcony.
The apartment is less than 100 yards from the award winning blue flag beach and with great access to Bournemouth, Poole and Purbeck.

The flat will have been professionally cleaned, beds made up for you and a full compliment of bath and beach towels for your use.

We have a range of beach toys and body-boards for your use. Additionally, there are 5 bicycles in the garage for your use but please bring helmets and any lights you may want. There are cycle lanes and paths for the younger ones and cycling to Bournemouth and beyond is possible but time restrictions limit riding to early morning and dusk in the summer.

Here's to a wonderful holiday!

Great location, lovely apartment
The location is right over the road from one of the beaches of Sandbanks, but a part of it that’s not near the busy tourist bit so it’s nice and relaxed. The apartment was easy to check into, the rooms are spacious and well equipped. The host has been very efficient at communication and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We will be back!

Great stay
Great location, just 5 minutes walk from the beach. The flat was spacious and well equipped, beds were made on our arrival and towels provided, we had everything we needed for our week stay. Parking was not an issue but spaces are limited, however there is possibility to park on a nearby street for free from 6.00 pm to 8.00 am. Bonus point: the flat is on a bus route, so can easily get to Swanage, Poole and Bournemouth. Very happy, would recommend.

The apartment very clean and large, is perfectly situated in Sandbanks. 5 min walk from the beach, Rick Stein restaurant and car ferry to Studland. We stayed for 8 nights and wished we could have stayed longer but it was fully booked up. The pandemic has meant we have seen more of the UK coastline than we would have, over the last couple of years and this trip has been one of the best. .

Great location
Great location literally a stones throw from the beach in the heart of Sandbanks. Spacious well equipped apartment was a great family option, so much more space than staying in a hotel. Very clean. Great communications from owner. No problem with parking. Bikes and bodyboards available in garage. Really enjoyed it, explored Studland, Bournemouth etc We actually tried to book again whilst we we there but our dates were not available, but would return.

Our holiday stay at 5, Sandhills, Sandbanks
This is a spacious, well appointed apartment in a great area, superbly located for beautiful beaches. We felt the potential difficulties in respect of parking at the apartments should be highlighted better as it is effectively on a first come first served basis. In addition, the mention of a high chair needs to be clarified. It is not a chair suitable for a baby, it is a smaller chair with no safety features or tray. We spent our first evening researching where to buy one and the following Sunday morning driving to collect one so any ambiguity needs to be removed.

Wonderful Holiday.
Very well equipped, excellent location, spotlessly clean. Beds were very comfortable. Bottle of wine on arrival was a lovely gesture. Push bikes and other beach related equipment available in garage. Simple check-in/check-out process was very simple. Would highly recommend this holiday accommodation - kudos to Stephen and many thanks.

Stephen was a great host and made our stay fabulous with a little surprise treat when we arrived. He was having some renovation works that over ran during our stay but was very easily contactable and confidently reassured us about any inconveniences that we might experience. He was spot on and there was absolute minimal disruption. The apartment was absolutely fabulous and the location was perfect! The apartment was very welcoming and had a lovely family feel to it. I would have no hesitation in recommending it amd we will certainly be back again. The amos family

Perfect location, spacious accommodation
I spent a week here with my 2 children and we were very happy there. The location is perfect for the beautiful beach, ferries, town and shops etc The apartment is spacious and has great facilities (dishwasher, washer/dryer etc) however there was no wok or frying pan so cooking a stir fry etc wasn’t great in a saucepan 😄 Stephen was friendly and helpful on the phone. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Super flat, great location, clean and everything provided
Ideal location and convenient for getting out and about throughout the week. We were using public transport and couldn't have been easier. The flat was clean, fresh smelling and everything worked, easily. We've stayed in the apartment block before, in a different flat, so we were familiar with set up and how it worked etc. We were lucky with great weather, so the proximity of the beach and ease of getting to and from it was another bonus. Would definitely stay again, booking and confirmation of arrangements was all very easy and the owners have got it all just right. Many thanks. Lovely place to end our Summer holidays.

The position on Sandbanks with a partial sea view was fantastic. The apartment was clean, and comfortable and was extremely well equipped. Close to a fantastic beach, nice walk to Haven Hotel for a drink. Great for ferry to Shell Bay and Brownsea Island, will definitely go back.

Wow! What a lovely place to stay
The apartment was everything we hoped it would be.. Very spacious, comfortable, clean and very well equipped - like a home from home. So close to the beach which we enjoyed, close to the chain ferry so very easy to get across to Shell Bay for some lovely food in a informal and friendly atmosphere. All in a super holiday in a lovely apartment in a lovely area and cannot wait to go again. Julie and Chris,
