Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Bournemouth

A wonderful 2 night break in Clare’s beautiful home. Clare was great in communications, so helpful. A beautiful home with such lovely coastal touches, light , clean, so well equipped, thoughtful touches, super location . Highly recommend it and we’d love to return.

We had a great week at Boscombe with our extended family group. The house was perfect and in such a great location with the beach only a few minutes walk away and shops/ restaurants 5-10 minutes in the other directions. The hot tub was a great touch for kids and adults alike.

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 have just returned from a wonderful stay at Anna’s place with our 6 month old and 4 year old children. The house was spacious, stylish and well equipped. My 4 year old loved playing with the duplo, dolls house, trampoline, football and books. It made the world of difference to have her entertained. There are lots of nice coffee places and restaurants nearby and, of course, the beautiful Southbourne beach which we visited every day. We would love to go back and highly recommend to other families.

We had such a great stay at Celia’s home—it really suited our whole family, from grandparents in their 70s to the grandchild who is 4. The house was super clean, cosy, and really well thought out. There were toys and games that kept my son busy, and the space was easy for everyone to have their own space when needed, which made a big difference for us. It just felt like everything had been considered. The location was great too. There’s a lovely little park just a short walk away, which was perfect for morning strolls. The town centre is a bit further, but still walkable if you’re up for it—and if not, it’s a quick drive. Lots of restaurants nearby with a wide range of choices, so everyone found something they liked. The beachfront is also a longer walk, but easy to drive to and parking was no problem at all. It was a lovely place to stay—comfortable, family-friendly, and in a great spot. Exactly how it has been described by other reviews and photos. Would definitely come back!

Accommodation totally met our expectations. Loads of maps etc and local information. Fully enclosed garden which kept our dog safe. On the one wet day, resorted to the extensive DVD & book range. Very comfortable place just to chill and we are looking forward to our next visit.

We had an amazing stay at Matthew’s house for my best friends hen do. The house was beautiful, great location and Matthew was very responsive. Would definitely recommend and return to this house!

Sarah was a great host. House is perfect for our stay with our dog Scooby and our grown up son and daughter. Really great location and very comfortable.had everything we needed. Loved the games room.

We had a lovely stay. The flat was a true home from home. Lovely and clean with everything you needed. We hope to return soon.

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!

Once again, a delightful stay at Jill’s well-appointed and comfortable apartment. We always feel at home from the moment we arrive and Jill is instantly available to answer any queries which may arise. The sparkling wine chilling in the fridge and local shortbread is a thoughtful touch which make you feel a valued guest. We look forward to a return visit later in the year.

Absolutely beautiful flat. It was clean and we loved the thought that went into the decor. And there was enough toilet roll! 😆 The hosts were very responsive and amenable. The bar opposite was a bit loud with music but it stopped at 12 and didn't bother us really. Thank you.

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 for a little family holiday. was just off the beach only a few minutes walk. Apartment had everything we needed. Were able to get an Asda shopping delivery for check in day that really made life easy with little kids. This area of Swanage doesn't seem to have any food delivery places so you'll need to plan ahead and don't be a townie like us and assume you can order pizza on a Sunday night. Obviously this is not the responsibility of the host but thought this would be useful information for future guests as will be the same for other properties in the area.

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.

Lovely flat in great location with excellent communication from host.

Spacious three bedroom 2nd floor appartment. Lift located next to appartment front door. One parking space which can be seen from living room window. Lots of extras in appartment- eg shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, toilet roll, hand soap etc which was a great addition. Further free parking around the corner on Derby Road. 10 min walk to Boscombe beach. Would thoroughly recommend and look forward to a return trip

We had an enjoyable week at Matt's flat. It was warm, clean and comfortable and had all you needed for a short stay. Matt was extremely helpful and prompt with his replies to our queries. A small problem was fixed within an hour or two. Next time we stay in Bournemouth, this flat is at the top of our list!

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!

We were blown away when we walked into the home. Perfect home for our family of 4! The kids loved the outdoor space and enjoyed some of the books that were available for bedtime. We really appreciated the spaciousness and also the Short walk to the seaside. Hope to return in the summer for a longer stay!

Kelly and Scott’s place is beautiful a home from home, everything you’ll need with thoughtful touches. My husband and I were celebrating our wedding anniversary and had a lovely time reminiscing when we lived in the area 20 years ago. Thank you x

I stayed at Marks apartment for 2 nights with my 4 year old and 9 month old. Going away with little ones with just one pair of hands is no easy task and staying at Marks made things much more manageable. Everything was clean- and I spend a lot of time on the floor with the 9month old so it makes a difference! Travel cot and high provided on request. Bed was comfy, everything was easy to use and my 4 year old cried when we left our holiday home. It’s close to the beach, to shops and a lovely Italian down the road! Definitely stay here again! Thanks for having us!

We had a great time at The Whitehouse. We especially enjoyed the location, so close to the beach. It was very clean and welcoming.
