Anthony August 2024

“We had a lovely stay.”

The beach front was in easy walking distance. There was a handy co-op and we caught the bus into Bournemouth. The only thing missing was a tea towel which luckily we had taken one. A few more cups and crockery would mean we would not have to put the dishwasher on as often.

Thank you for your feedback. Were delighted you enjoyed your stay Julie & Steve Property Owner
Amy July 2024

“Greatly enjoyed our stay at 1 Blue Waters.”

Was very well maintained equipped with two bathrooms making our stay even more convenient. All mod cons were in situ and the accommodation was very comfortable and felt like home from home. The street is very quiet and only heard some seagulls all week and a five minute walk from the seafront accessible via a zig - zag path. We would recommend a stay here and would be happy to return in future. Thank you Steve and Julie ;-)

- Amy, July 2024

Thank you for the fantastic feedback. We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay and would love to welcome you back. Julie & Steve Property Owner
Shirley July 2024

“Extremely comfortable, home away from home.”

spotlessly clean and tidy. Large screen TV! Two bathrooms, absolutely everything has been considered and provided. The balcony is a real sun trap too. It is the perfect location, close to the beach, shops and takeaways and some excellent restaurants. There is plenty to do, parking is expensive, but the bus service is excellent, close and cheap. There is an electric car charging station close by, we found that handy as it is a fast charge but slightly more expensive. The path to the beach is a stretch in that it is a collection of steep slopes and stairs. Even the slope which is called disabled friendly, is very steep. So although the property is a perfect location, it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility. Worth the effort as the beach has wonderful miles of sand and perfectly clear water. We can't wait to go back.

- Shirley, July 2024

Thank you for the wonderful feedback. We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back Steve & Julie Property Owner
Karen June 2024

“Fantastic stay at ' Blue Waters'.”

The apartment is in a lovely quiet area close to seafront. Had everything could possibly need for a fuss free holiday. The cleanliness was fab, the beds were so comfortable. Good communication from the owners. Slight downside for me personally was that couldn't have a window open at night(only a patio door in master bedroom) but that didn't spoil our stay this time due to lower temperatures! Fans were available if needed. Would recommend a stay here without hesitation

“A lovely base to explore the Dorset Coast.”

The accommodation was very well presented, clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Communication before and during our stay was excellent.

James June 2023

“Main page of listing states "ground floor apartment" however in the smaller print later in the description it is a "lower ground floor" .”

Hallway has a fusty odour when you enter the apartment. Parking space is beneath two trees which leave your car covered in seed heads, leaves etc. A great location for access to SoBo beach.

- James, June 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed your stay and enjoyed the location. Being lower ground also means we have a lovely sun terrace. The trees have been prolific this year but just about finished flowering and our property management company are arranging for a tree surgeon to visit to trim them back. Property Owner
David June 2023

“We had a lovely week in Steve and Julies apartment.”

They were extremely helpful with a small problem we had and it was solved quickly. We would certainly return their if we were in Bournemouth again and strongly recommend it. David & Nancy

- David, June 2023

We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for your lovely review Property Owner
Sarah May 2023

“1 Blue Waters is a lovely find.”

We were amazed to be so close to the beach and to have wonderful walks along the coast in both directions. The apartment is comfortable and well equipped. Even although it is a basement flat the sun comes into the front rooms and makes it bright and welcoming. It is lovely being able to sit outside at the table in the sunshine on the terrace. It is also so useful having a parking space available.

- Sarah, May 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We’re so pleased you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

Kim October 2022

“This is a bright, well-equipped apartment that is perfect for seaside holidays.”

It has everything you need for a comfortable stay, including two luxurious bathrooms. It was great to be so close to the beach and we enjoyed breakfast at the beach bar every morning as well as long walks along the coast and shorter routes to Christchurch. The bus services are excellent, so we left the car and hopped on the bus to Poole and Bournemouth. There are lots of lovely places to eat, drink and shop in nearby Southbourne Grove.

- Kim, October 2022

Thank you so much for taking the time to post this review. We’re delighted you enjoyed your time exploring the local area and our apartment was comfortable during your stay Steve & Julie Property Owner
Eliabeth September 2022

“The apartment is ideal for 2 couples.”

It is particularly well furnished. The only extra item we would have liked was a carpet sweeper or vacuum cleaner. The apartment is bright and warm. We did not use a car at all during our stay as there are buses serving the whole of the coast from Christchurch to Poole within 5 minutes walk of the apartment . We would highly recommend the property..

- Eliabeth, September 2022

Thank you so much for your feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed the local area and our apartment. We’ll also get a vacuum for future guests Steve & Julie Property Owner

Liz July 2022

“Returned from a lovely week at Blue Waters in Southbourne.”

The location was absolutely perfect with everything you need on hand, a short stroll to the beach and local supermarket, cafes and takeaway. Our apartment was gorgeous, a perfect home from home just what you need for a stress free holiday. The owners are super helpful and can’t thank them enough for the great time we had. Hoping to book again.

- Liz, July 2022

Thank you so much for the amazing feedback. We are delighted you enjoyed spending time in Southbourne and agree it’s a fabulous area with lots of things to explore close by. We’re also delighted you enjoyed our apartment and would love to welcome you back any time Steve & Julie Property Owner
Charles March 2022

“This is a stylish modern apartment, it's cosy and warm throughout.”

It's location is good, close to the seafront in Southbourne. We used a bus stop nearby to go into Bournemouth and then walked back to Southbourne along the promenade - a great walk along the sea. Walking the other way is Hengistbury Head and the Hiker Cafe - both worth a visit. There's a Co-op food store just round the corner and we enjoyed a meal from The Indian Ocean takeaway at the end of the road.

- Charles, March 2022

Thank you for your review. We’re delighted you enjoyed staying in our apartment and loved the local area as much as we do. Steve & Julie Property Owner

The property

1 Blue Waters is a wonderful single level lower-ground-floor apartment resting on the seaside of Southbourne, Dorset.

The apartment provides a wonderful base for a group of four to explore Dorset, as it is just moments away from the neighbouring suburbs and their seaside activities, as well as the outdoor sanctuaries of the nearby national parks.

When you arrive, you will be greeted by a reserved parking space where you may securely park your car before entering this magnificent dwelling.

Enter to find a bright and airy open-plan living space that, owing to the bi-fold doors, is basking in sunlight.

Curl up on the white corner sofa and turn on the tv to watch a movie or immerse yourself in a good book.

Move across the room to the kitchen, which is fitted with sleek, wooden cabinets and an assortment of integrated equipment that the designated head chef can use to prepare wonderful meals.

Enjoy these meals together at the connected breakfast bar, or gather together around the dining table for a magnificent dinner and maybe even opening a bottle of fizz!

When the sun goes down, retire to one of two stylishly furnished double bedrooms, one of which has a TV and an en-suite shower room, ideal for those seeking some further seclusion.

A bathroom is nearby, with a separate bath and a walk-in shower, so you may start your day with either a relaxing soak or an invigorating rinse.

The apartment rests next to delightful decking, where you can sit back and enjoy a cool beverage while soaking up the sea breeze.

Explore Southbourne, a delightful Bournemouth suburb where all of your amenities are a short walk away, and you're also close to Southbourne's beach, cliffs, the landmark of Southbourne Deck Chair, and the nearby Hengistbury Head, an unspoilt headland with a wealth of hiking trails amid the lovely scenery.

Travel to the neighbouring suburb of Boscombe, which has a beautiful beach with a pier as well as the stunning open areas of Kings Park and Fisherman's Walk Park.

Continue towards Bournemouth's centre, where Meyrick Park and the renowned Bournemouth Parks are ideal for picnicking and peaceful strolls, or travel down to the city's coast to visit the famed beach with its especially popular pier, which has an oceanarium, amusements, a theatre, and boat rides.

Poole, Milford-on-Sea, plus the gorgeous vistas of Cranborne Chase AONB and the New Forest National Park are all within easy distance of the home; you'll never be bored!

Look no farther than 1 Blue Waters for a memorable beachfront break.
