  • Lose yourself in the panoramic sea views from the stunning glass balconies
  • A stone’s throw from Southbourne Beach, which boasts scenic views of the Isle of Wight to Old Harry Rocks
Overview
Property code: OC-E32247

Enjoying a wonderful seaside spot in Southbourne, this homely retreat is in a very quiet area, the perfect getaway for a relaxing break with family and friends exploring the heart of the stunning Dorset coast. Southbourne is part of the beautiful Dorset coastline, home to the gloriously golden Southbourne Beach less than 100 metres away, and a beautiful promenade which stretches from Sandbanks to Hengistbury Head, perfect for keen walkers and cyclists alike. Southbourne enjoys a vibrant and bustling high street which boasts a wonderful variety of independent cafes, restaurants, delicatessens and boutique-style shops which showcase this area’s best local produce. The enchanting tracks and trails of the New Forest National Park, a playground for keen outdoor explorers, can be reached within 7 miles, whilst the bustling coastal resorts of Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole can all be reached within 10 miles.

Kick off your beach shoes in the bright and airy entrance hallway before retreating to either of the two super-king-size zip-and-link bedrooms (which can be configured as twins) or the double bedroom; floor-to-ceiling sliding doors in each of these bedrooms frame wonderful views to wake up to. The contemporary family bathroom on this level provides everything you need to feel refreshed after a busy day at the beach. If you still have plenty of energy left, head upstairs to the spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner on the first floor. Featuring a wonderfully neutral colour palette, underfloor heating, and ample natural sunlight from the large set of floor-to-ceiling sliding patio doors, the social heart of this home-away-from-home boasts a truly peaceful ambience that invites weary coastal explorers to cook, unwind, and dine with loved ones. On a fine evening, throw open the patio doors to the balcony to make the most of your stunning views. Occupying the second floor, you will find an en-suite super-king-size bedroom that features another balcony with spectacular views.

Outside, the enclosed patio courtyard is perfect for a spot of al fresco dining and enjoying some stunning melting sunsets in the peaceful surroundings. There is private parking available for two cars at the property.

Great property and location. Lovely little bar on the beach 5 min walk away (Sobo), and if you walk to Bournemouth (just over an hour walk), there is El Murrino Bar on the way.

This house is luxurious, it is light and spacious, but somehow cosy at the same time. The beds were very comfortable and the water pressure in the showers is powerful.

5* luxurious accommodation in a perfect location next to the beach, ideal for every style of holiday... relaxing, celebrating, exploring... We had an excellent week with our grown up family and our dog; exploring the area on long walks every day, stopping at cafes for delicious pastries and cakes baked locally, and returning to the superb desigRead morener house to sit on the balcony with a glass of wine from the bottle chiller. There is a great selection of restaurants and take-aways to choose from in the area and a convenience store close by buy food to cook in. And, the key requirement when we look for holiday accommodation is a comfortable bed and The Edge Beach House has huge super king sized beds with incredibly comfortable mattresses and lovely linen - and no foot boards which often home owners don't realise can be a problem for tall guests. Highly recommended! Hide

We had a fantastic 4 day family break at this property. The house was beautiful, well appointed, modern and very clean. It was really homely and very comfortable and very well equipped with fans in the bedrooms; a travel cot and high chair for the baby in our party, and there was even a small picnic set for outdoor meals. The courtyard garden to Read morethe rear of the property was well maintained and had sun loungers provided - small but beautifully formed. There was 9 in our party and plenty of room for all of us. The location was perfect, only a few metres from the beach and a short drive into Bournemouth itself The off-street parking for 2 cars was also an added bonus The owners of the property were very friendly and helpful, leaving us a welcome box of supplies and milk in the fridge for when we arrived which was very thoughtful. We would highly recommend a stay here. We will definitely be returning Hide

Beautiful Southbourne Property - peacefull very close to the beach and cool vibes of the sobo beach bar Thank you so much for letting us stay in your stunning, modern, and peaceful property. The location is great - just a short walk to the beach and SoBo Beach Barand the house itself is beautifully set to maximise the view in a quite close makiRead moreng the stay very peaceful and relaxing (even with two children). Although the main town is a 5min drive 25-30mins walk there is a small high st close with a couple of restaurants, a coop and a few shops. We actually had most meals in the property or on the beach as we were lucky with the weather and had such lovely views from the balcony. The house is well designed and worked well for our multi-generational holiday . We travelled as a family with 2 children and with 2 sets of grandparents and found the 3 bedrooms on the ground floor and the enormous bedroom on the top floor worked well. All of the beds were incredibly comfy. Although worth noting the double bedroom downstairs would be quite warm in the morning if sunny but fans are provided in all rooms and there is a door you can open. Ive always been a fan of Dorset and visit every year usually staying in Mudeford or Westbourne, but I like the vibe in southbourne reminds me of Bondi and with all the investment going into Southbourne, I think Ive been converted - We would love to come back!

This was a fabulous place to stay with my grown up kids while visiting them from the US. The house is lovely and the location (100ft from the beach) is perfect. Richard and Gina are great hosts and were happy to help with queries while we were there. They truly thought of everything... even our dog was provided for with a bed, bowl, blankets, poRead moreop bags and treats! The kitchen was well equipped, the beds were comfortable and the showers to die for! There is no washing machine but there is a drying rack and there is a laundry a 5 min drive away. Richard and Gina left a welcome pack and when we extended our stay they brought another! I will definitely book again when I next visit the UK 10/10 Hide
