Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Bournemouth

This house offers everything a family could wish for. It feels very homely from the moment you step through the door. We stayed over Christmas and Clare had the log burner set ready to light with basket of logs and clear instructions. The open plan kitchen diner opens to an immaculate garden and even had feeders for the birds. Most of all Clare dressed a Christmas tree and left suprises for the children. We were close to the harbour and park and within walking distance to the Lighthouse theatre where we saw Sleeping Beauty on Boxing day. A truly memorable Christmas. Thankyou Clare.

We had a lovely weekend away. House was perfect for two family’s and pets . Hot tub was a big hit for the kids and adults . Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

We have just returned from Caroline’s beautiful cottage. It was everything we wished for and more. The cottage had everything we needed, the beds were extremely comfortable and the cottage was exceptionally clean. The surrounding area was very quaint and pretty and there was lots to explore in the area and a bit beyond. We spent NYE at Durdle Door, an hours drive away but well worth it. Would highly recommend Caroline’s cottage and our dog loved it too.

We had the most fantastic stay at Anna’s home. It is such a beautiful, spacious house, and incredibly stylish, with the most incredible selection of toys and things to do for kids. Both my young boys had the time of their lives - so exciting for them to explore everything! They loved the bunk beds, and the huge bath. We had terrible weather, but it really didn’t matter as there was so much to do. There are great restaurants in southbourne that we’re easy to walk to, and the beaches are all fantastic even in the rain. We made a really last minute booking so we’re very appreciate that Anna and her Sikh we’re able to make it work for us! Would highly recommend and love to go again in the future.

Laura’s home is a beautifully designed and decorated home which makes you feel comfortable and peaceful straight away. We loved the minimalist design and amazing subtle styling of the house and garden. Laura was friendly and responsive. We enjoyed a wonderful stay with long days at Mudeford beach and surrounds x

Celia’s home was bright and comfortable with lots of lovely touches. Lots of toys and books to keep everyone entertained and a smart outside space for relaxing and running off any excess energy before bedtime! Would love to stay again, x

Beautiful house with plenty of space, hosts are very helpful and also respectful, had an amazing time away for my mums hen do is a perfect place for a gathering with friends and family.

Great property, spacious, clean and good location for exploring the New Forest. Tip - if you want to eat in the local pub book and also be aware they stop food orders at 7:30pm

Nicks place was a perfect getaway to explore the Purbeck coastline. Great location and easy access to the ferry and sandbanks Bay Area . Would highly recommend!

We stayed at Elizabeth’s for a few days when visiting family nearby. It was perfect for our purpose and we found Elizabeth very friendly and accommodating. Our granddaughter particularly enjoyed the trampoline!

Lovely flat in a great location, easy walking distance to the centre of town, and under 10mins drive to the ferry port. Parking space a bonus. Great communication with Jillian, all v straightforward.

Staying at this place was nice: the flat is very cosy, well-furnished, location is marvellous, just few minutes away from the seashore and city centre, though quite enough. All the amenities, incl. washing machine and dishwasher, are at place. In this regard, the flat is suitable for both - short-term and long-term stays (I did the latter and enjoyed it a lot). There could be some complexities with general cleaning (since it's optional and not very cheap), though the hosts are able to accommodate you (by providing e.g. clean bed linen on request). The hosts are responsive and open to help with and advise on anything, which is an additional plus!

We had a lovely 3 night stay at the beautiful apartment. Amazing sea views. Lovely walks on the doorstep. Would definitely recommend and return in the future.

Great little flat, walking distance into Swanage but lovely quiet road, and a stones throw from the beach. Flat was lovely - light and airy, and warm! Will definitely be back when we next need to be in Swanage

Lovely property it had all the amenities. Good location. Near the centre of Swanage, about 10 minute walk. Lots of restaurants and shops. Near the beach. There a smart tv with Netflix, YouTube Disney+, everything you have with smart tv.

Really great value, finished to a good standard and very clean, had everything we needed for a base for the long weekend with two small children and a small dog. Coms were really quick and Amanda was very friendly and accommodating. Has a great parking space and really close to the beach and southbourne. Thanks for our stay

We’ve just returned from a wonderful long weekend at Michelle’s apartment. Everything was spotless. It’s very well equipped, very comfortable and even more spacious than the photos show. The location is ideal - lots to see and explore in the area and easy walking distance to Poole Quay as well as Hamworthy itself. Communication was excellent and directions were very clear, however, on the day we arrived the path to the steps was all cordoned off by the builders so it took us a while to work out how to get in - Michelle wasn’t to know that. We eventually found our way round via the beach gate. We’d love to return next year and can highly recommend the apartment. Thank you.

Lovely flat in great location with excellent communication from host.

Thank you for a lovely stay, great location for the beach!

This was absolutely the best experience to our family, the place was very clean, the owners are very nice and kind people, strongly recommend

Apartment was exactly what we needed for our family, especially with an 8 week old baby. Travel cot provided was perfect (not that little one wanted to sleep in it haha). The Apartment was clean, tidy and had everything we needed. Matt was friendly and accommodated what we needed when my mum spoke to him. The location was perfect and close to where we needed to be and was great there was parking just outside, especially with the trips out and getting little one in and out of the car and the amount of things we needed to travel with.

Absolutely amazing stay at Samantha's place! Communication was excellent from start to finish. The flat is truly beautiful - the photos don't do justice to how spacious and open the main rooms actually are. The location couldn't be better - just a 5 minute walk to the beach and a short drive to the New Forest. We were able to explore so many beautiful sights all within easy reach. The beds were very comfortable and all appliances were new and worked perfectly. We hope to return again soon!

Amazing stay. Nice and tidy. Had everything we needed while we stayed. Highly recommended

This apartment is stunning! The hosts are lovely, really helpful always quick to respond to any questions. I can't recommend this highly enough, the photos are lovely but in reality it is even better, with every amenity possible to need. The decor and furnishings are to the highest standard, and spotless. I would recommend anyone planning a trip to this area of Dorset to book, you will be glad you did!
