A little Gem!
What a lovely apartment in an incredible location. We spent 3 nights at the Beach Retreat for our wedding anniversary. The location is so central. We enjoyed coffee and a bacon sandwich at the coffee shop on the little High street just around the corner and a wonderful meal at The Cliff pub which is a minutes walk away. We ventured into Sandbanks to try out Rick Steins restaurant which didn’t disappoint. Stunning views, service and food! A lovely treat. We both thoroughly recommend booking this property for not only how lovely it is but also for where it is. We’ll be back! Thank you Nicola

Perfect Holiday Break
This is our second stay in Beach Retreat 2 and we loved it just as much as the first time as our first visit. The host Nicola, is very helpful and goes the extra mile to make your stay perfect. The apartment has everything you need, is high spec, fully equipped and very comfortable, and the location is just off the high street with a number of restaurants, coffee shops, bakery etc. all in easy reach. Lastly the lovely sandy Canford Cliffs beach is also within walking distance.

Nicely kitted-out and comfy!
We had a lovely week in Canford Cliffs and contacted the host, Nicola, a number of times before our stay. She was very attentive and responsive and followed through on our requests. Apartment is clean, very comfy, nice bathrooms and has all you would need for a short stay. Beach location is great, the village has all you need and the parking at The Cliff is a benefit, but in reality outside of the weekends, there is plenty of road parking and the car park that is close by is cheap enough to park an extra car as we did. Thanks for the stay, we will be back!

Delightful
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in beach retreat 2, Nicola is a great host, excellent communication and great support with regards to the booking process and the apartment itself is just perfect, home from home. The beach is a 5-10 minute walk away and Canford Cliffs is a wonderful beach. Canford Cliffs village is literally round the corner from the apartment and has everything you need from a great coffee shop and a number of great restaurants. I can only highly recommend this property and we are already planning to book again.

Host profile image
I have lived locally in Poole with my husband and two daughters for over 7 years. The area is blessed with outstanding natural beauty, award winning beaches and is one of the top places in the UK for watersports. My family are generally found on or in the water regardless of the weather! We love swimming, surfing wake boarding and water skiing.

We took over the Beach Retreat Apartments 1 & 2 in July 2022 and are excited to start welcoming guests to our local area.

Why they chose this property

Location, location location....the apartments are in an unbeatable spot with everything on your doorstep, allowing you to park the car and access everything on foot. Yards from Canford Cliffs village centre, you will find a fantastic choice of eateries including a coffee shop, restaurants, artisan bakeries and 2 gastropubs. Stunning blue flag beaches and a childrens playground are only a 400m woodland walk away. Avoid the traffic congestion and crowds on the Sandbanks peninsular and base yourself where the locals go!

What makes this property unique

- Location!! Amazing base to explore the Poole, Bournemouth and Sandbanks area.
- Beach only 360metres away!
- Restaurants, pubs and cafes just a few minutes walk away - no need to drive!!
- Character property!
- Quality apartments, spotlessly clean with high end fixtures and fittings.
