Beachcombing

Beachcombing: Dorset

If you want to spend idyllic days on Bournemouth's award-winning Blue Flag Southbourne Beach, then this home is perfect – it's under a five-minute walk to golden sandy heaven. The fantastic independent shops and restaurants of Southbourne High Street are within the same walking distance, so you have the best of both worlds.

Back at your apartment, we love the coral and palm fabrics, as well as the vibrant colours evoking a tropical paradise – a reminder we're on the balmy south coast. Head outside, and you'll find a courtyard bathed in natural light, the ideal place to bask in the Dorset sun or have an alfresco lunch. Not that you'll be spending much time here, we doubt, with all the wonderful attractions right on your doorstep.

Home truths:
*There’s a toddler's bed in each bedroom, so this home is perfect for young families
*The courtyard area is for your use only and if there are no guests staying in the downstairs apartment, your host may offer the use of the other garden
*A car parking space is reserved for you during your stay
*You’ll check yourself in with a lockbox
*This home is accessed by stairs only
*A security camera is in use on the front of the property
