Waterfront vacation rentals in Dorset

good location for pubs, restaurants and boat trips. good bathroom, comfy bed and sofa. Quite warm at night and the area was noisy with the windows open but overall enjoyed our stay.

Great location, lovely space and super clean. Would reccomend.

west bay is lovely, and this little flat is right in the middle. it has everything you need.

This is a lovely flat, right on the seafront. Very convenient for the beach and town as well as other local attractions. The flat was quiet, with very little noise from neighbours, even the restaurant right next door (which was really tasty). There is a road outside the front window, so you do get car noise there, but the bedrooms are at the back and were very peaceful. The weather was bitterly cold this week but the flat was warm and cozy and has everything you need, including things like beach chairs and toys for the kids. It's very comfortable although the sofa was harder than it looks! We would definitely stay there again.

this place exceeded our expectations. comfy clean, well equipped and tastefully decorated. Cafes, restaurants and supermarket close by. situated by the harbour, so plenty to watch eg the fishing boats. beautiful views of the coast from the flat. Coastal path and many other local walks to do. totally recommend this place

A warm and welcoming flat in a Really great location. Very clean and well equipped too! Sebastian was very helpful when the Smart TV was smarter than me, responding to my questions even though he was away. We will definitely be back next time we are in Swanage.

We had a lovely overnight stay. It was perfect for what we needed as my husband had work down in Poole. The location was brilliant, quiet, secure and very well equipped. It was lovely and clean, comfortable and the little extra touches like cookies and milk that were there on arrival. 😊Thank you Emily, we will certainly recommend your lovely apartment!

A home from home in idyllic setting close to everything. Fully equipped with high standards. Nothing negative to say and I have very high expectations.

Loved our stay here! The house is modernized, sporless clean, has beautiful design features and felt very cosy and comfortable. Everything was as deacribed if not better and the host has been helpful and friendly. The hot tub is a great feature and the patio is lovely to have breakfast with some sunshine. Location is perfect - very peaceful - you really hear the waves crashing and can see the sea from the upper bedroom windows. The house had all necessary amenities for a comfortable relaxing stay. Thank you!

Travelling as a family of four and one dog. We loved our stay at North Mill. Great location with lots to pubs and restaurants a short walk into Wareham old town. Sally was super friendly and welcoming. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place for a stay on Wareham and to enjoy the beautiful Dorset coast.

Fabulous place to stay. Great accommodation with stunning views. We loved it so much that we extended by an extra day. Frances and Peter were great hosts and we would definitely recommend to others.

Lovely house and beautiful views of the river. Comfortable beds. Well equipped kitchen. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Loved the visiting birds tapping on the windows and the deer. Lots to do within walking distance or short bus journeys.

Wonderful stay in Worth Matravers. An ideal location for exploring the area and a fantastic home to relax and enjoy too. Photos don’t do justice to the downstairs space. Was perfect for our family with energetic 3 year old and Labradors!

We were a group of 12, and every one of us agreed this is the best holiday house we've ever stayed in. We loved the location, right by the beach and a short walk into town, but at the end of a cul-de-sac, so quiet and safe. We loved all the many books and musical instruments in the house - we felt very at home! We loved the beautiful sea views from 3 bedrooms, and the comfy beds, and the well-equipped kitchen. Our children loved the wide range of toys and the games console. The host made us feel very welcome. We felt it was very good value for money, and we would really like to come back and stay here again.

Beautiful location, i didn’t close the blinds the whole time so i could wake up to the view which is stunning. Didn’t need the car all weekend as everything is easily walkable. Very clean and comfortable home with everything you need. Thanks so much!

April cottage is a gorgeous, cosy place. It has everything you need, all the home comforts plus amazing views across the sea. April always responded quickly to questions and was very friendly. Would absolutely recommend the cottage but be prepared there isn't much within walking distance in terms of cafes/ restaurants/ pubs. However, if you take some logs for the fire and a nice bottle of wine, there is no need to leave!

Beautiful apartment for a great family weekend exploring the South West! The apartment is warm and welcoming and has everything we needed.

We really enjoyed our stay! We chose the flat, partly in case of rainy, cold weather. It would have been really cosy if that had been the case. Fortunately, we were blessed with great weather. The walks are really lovely and we loved the pathway into Bridport, plus the amazing cliff walk to Seatown, where we had a delicious lunch before walking back to the appartment.

A perfect location for all the amenities of Poole and Poole Harbour. The view of the harbour was spectacular and a good amount of our was spent sitting on the window seat admiring the view and watching people go by their day. The apartment is very well equipped with pretty much everything you need and we very much appreciated the extra touches such as fresh flowers on the windowsill, milk, OJ and croissants. I’ll definitely visit again when I visit Poole next!

Great location and quiet, comfortable apartment. Everything we needed was there and on the one query we had the owner responded immediately. Nice and clean too.

THE best thing about this flat is the view! Absolutely gorgeous 😍 It was a pleasure to wake up to and to return to after a day out. The flat is spacious and has everything needed for a break. The bed was softer than we're used to, but very comfortable. We slept well! Weymouth has a lot going on and there is plenty to do. Good pubs, cafes and shops. Many places to explore if driving and by bus or train. We recommend the Swannery at Abbotsbury. Fabulous to get close to over 600 swans 😊 We really enjoyed our week in Carleys flat and cannot wait to return 😀

Fabulous flat with amazing sea views! The flat was so clean and beautifully decorated, beds were super comfy. Communication was excellent and everything was as described. Perfect position for visits to Bournemouth, Christchurch, Mudeford New Forest etc I have no hesitation in recommending this lovely flat. Well worth five stars!

This was our second visit to Carolyn's apartment in West Bay. We also visited out of season last time - West Bay has a lovely out of summer season vibe! There were plenty of shops and restaurants still open. We did have a dramatic storm for one day, but mostly the weather was dry, sunny and bracing! The apartment is in a great location, and is beautifully maintained - very clean and welcoming. Carolyn is a wonderful host - excellent communication and very useful information from entry details to local amenities.

We had a lovely time at Coopers. The apartment is beautiful and spacious, it is luxuriously decorated and furnished and we felt at home during our stay. The surrounding area is beautiful and peaceful. Charlie was a proactive and attentive host and answered all our questions before we had to ask them. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
