Beautiful property close to the beach and lovely village amenities. Great to have dishwasher, washer/dryer. Brilliant communication with owner throughout the process.
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.
We had booked this apartment as we were attending a friends 60th birthday party at the Italian villas, which ended up being a surprise wedding. There were 4 adults.Plenty of room, great layout, really clean and decorated lovely. Great location to pubs/restaurants and to thevenue all in walking distance. Also walking distance to tesco for a few essentials. Check-in and out was easy. Would definitely use again .

Thanks for your kind review Michaela. It was a pleasure to host you, thanks for being great guests.
We had a fabulous three days in Canford Cliffs. The property was perfect and in a great location , ideally placed between beach and shops. The Village bakery sells the best sandwiches and rolls to take to the beach at amazingly reasonable cost. We ate one evening at Baffi with our Italian son in law who was suitably impressed. The other evening we ate at Rick Steins in Sandbanks, expensive but worth every penny - a rare thing to say these days ! Thank you Nicola for your lovely apartment.
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

We visit the Bournemouth area quite regularly, and particularly enjoy the Sandbanks area. However, the hotels in the locale are limited and quite dated. There is also a lack of apartments to rent. So finding this lovely hideaway in Canford Cliffs, just a short walk from a sandy beach was a real treat.
The apartment is very cosy and welcoming, with a nice clean decor and all the conveniences you'd need for a short stay.
Restaurants (Baffi pizza is a no-brainer for pizza lovers) and Tesco Express are 2 minutes away. There is a good choice of coffee and also a nice (not cheap) deli.
If you fancy a bus, the stop is very close.
Nicola is super responsive and helpful, which makes the whole experience stress-free.
We hope to come back soon!
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!
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.
