On the same lower ground level is a double bedroom snug, with modular sofa, large smart TV, DVD player with plenty of DVDs, and fridge — which makes a perfect chil out space for teens and children too.
The garden space is ideal to unwind in and features a substantial outdoor dining table set with a parasol for 8 diners across a large patio area, and an impressive lawned garden filled with various palm trees.

Guest Access:
The whole property, private garden, garage and driveway.
The Neighborhood:
The local neighbourhood is one of the most desirable holiday home locations in Dorset and the south coast of England. A hotspot particularly for watersports, nature enthusiasts, and beach lovers, the area is also synonymous with very high property prices and upmarket hospitality.
The 5 km stretch of sandy beach runs from Cubs Beach near to the Studland car chain ferry terminal at the end of the peninsula, through Sandbanks Beach and on to Canford Cliffs Beach towards Bournemouth, and is a paradise for swimmers, sunbathers, and dog walkers. On the opposite side to its famous sandy beach is Sandbanks Bay, within Poole Harbour, where many of the watersport facilities are based, for activities such as paddleboarding, windsurfing, sailing, canoeing, and jet skiing, amongst others.
Nearby, and accessible via a short ferry ride from the ferry terminal, is National Trust’s Brownsea Island, famous for its protected woodland, heathland and lagoon habitats; and wildlife, including rare red squirrels and birds. The island was the location of an experimental camp in 1907 that led to the formation of the Scout movement.
The main ferry route is via a car chain ferry connecting to Studland Bay and Isle of Purbeck region. This beautiful area features a long stretch of varied coastline, including Shell Bay Beach, Knoll Beach, Studland Beach, and South Beach; as well as quaint villages, a heritage railway, historical Corfe Castle, and Swanage Town at the very south of the peninsula.
The more urban areas of Poole and Bournemouth are very close by, and have a myriad of things to do and places to see, including museums, art galleries, theatres, and annual festivals.
Other Things to Note:
Only a maximum of 10 people can stay at High Tides at any time, including infants using the travel cot.
Please note: there are few flights of stairs to reach the first and basement floors.

Had a lovey stay at property, very peaceful break with only being 5-10 minute walk to the beach, checking in process was easy and great correspondence from owners. Lovely touch with welcoming package, would not hesitate in staying here again.
The property was large, airy and bright. The weather was great to have a barbeque which had been set up for us to enjoy in the large garden. The kitchen satisfied our needs. The location is very close to Sandbanks quay and within walking distance of the beach and shops and cafes. The hosts were very responsive.
The house was in a good location for amenities and the beach but the standard of cleanliness was below average for the cost of the property.The outside area and inside facilities are somewhat tired and need renovating if they’re are charging this level of feesWe’ve stayed in a lot cleaner and better for less money

Thanks for your honest feedback Martin. A significant investment has since gone into the property (after your stay in Oct '25) including renovation, decoration, garden work, and now a hot tub! We've also raised our game with the changeover and cleaning of this gorgeous house — so we sincerely hope you'll try us again in the future!
Whilst we enjoyed our stay and the Villa was ok, we felt it was not cleaned and serviced very well and the outside area looked tired and worn.Paying this sort of money for a weeks holiday you would expect a bit more attention to detail, the outside patio table still had empty bottle tops on from the previous occupants. Maybe a bit picky but you would expect more when charging 4k a week.
