Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Jurassic Coast

What a fabulous house for a family break! So much space that for the 11 of us to spread out in,we never felt over crowded. The house was very well equipped,we could all comfortably sit down to eat. The garden was very safe for the children to run around in and it was such a quiet area. David was very responsive to any query I had. I think we could be back next year!

Great stay with the family at Aimee and Paul’s. Such a great location. So close to the beach and an easy short walk into Bournemouth. The house had everything we needed for adults, kids and dogs alike!

excellent host, lovely place to stay in will recommend

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.

I stayed at this property with my family and easily one of the best Airbnb I have stayed in terms of comfort, location, surroundings, hospitality, communication from host. The hosts are gem of people who are very thoughtful in providing amenities and services to their guests. They had complementary welcome kit and had two pages with instructions to use listed amenities of the house as well as local grocery and food recommendation. I always had very proactive and positive conversations with Laura and Mike. I would recommend this airbnb to family (esp with kids) and friends. It is so relaxing that you can just relax and bbq in the backyard.

We had a wonderful few days staying here and using the house as a base to visit Southbourne and Christchurch. All was exactly as described and the outdoor games (table tennis, basketball) were a great addition. Also lots of board games available which we enjoyed trying. Kitchen had everything we needed and lots of extras left for us to use. Very clear instructions for the whole house and everything was extremely straightforward. Would highly recommend.

We had a very enjoyable stay. The house was spotless and had everything we needed. Ideal location - we used the park and ride at Odd Down. Supermarket just over the road.

The house is lovely. The kitchen is exceptionally well equipped with everything you could want. Plenty of towels supplied. Very quiet area. Would be even better in the summer. Only downside is not having dedicated parking but we found a spot just down the road.

Lovely place to stay, very welcoming and easy to find….. very peaceful lovely garden for the dog to run around in, we will be back again…. Thanks Jack, Lydia and Margot

For a work trip to Southampton, Marc’s apartment is perfect. Easy to locate a short walk to the docks & old town with some great food. The apartment was very chic, lovely view of the river, very safe & secure. Parking was an excellent addition. I felt very comfortable mixing work & a little tourism. Thoroughly enjoyed the visit & would definitely wish to return.

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!

Really great, great location and amazing view! The hosts were great and easy to talk to if needed😊

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.

Our stay with Margaret was amazing. She was so flexible with allowing us to drop our bags off early. She allowed us to use her own bathroom and filled our childrens’ water bottles since the previous guests hadn’t yet departed. She was also willing to clean as quickly as she could so we could check in early (we didn’t do that as we had a full Day planned but appreciated her being so accommodating). The space we stayed in was large, clean, and private. She also let me use her washer and dryer to do our laundry since we hadn’t quite packed enough for a two week Holiday and expected we would have to do laundry somewhere on the way. She was available quickly for any issues or queries and I was so happy with our stay. Would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to stay in bath. There’s a beautiful walking trail to get to the centre of town as well. Thanks so much for the lovely stay.

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 place. Second time staying here with my elderly father for Christmas. Was spotlessly clean with all the kitchen etc utensils needed. The scones, jam and clotted cream was a nice touch as we're the Christmas decorations. Arranged to check-in early at 4pm on Christmas eve. Is about a 15 minute walk from Exmouth station plus is on street parking (parking permit provided by host if needed). Very easy access to seafront/estuary mouth and small marina. Is also a pub opposite (not noisy) that does good food. Are a couple of mini-mart style shops about 400yards away. Exmouth centre a 15 minute walk. Would recommend

Debbie was fantastic from start to finish,the apartment is stunning and so comfortable and spotless,the beds are so comfy,the whole accommodation is well thought out and every available thing toy need for your stay is included,with well written instructions for everything

Had a booking cancelled at short notice and had to find an alternative sharpish.. found this one and the host was back to us straight away and remained in regular contact. Directions and getting in were easy and we even got notification that the accommodation was ready early. Very clean and comfortable inside - nice and cozy Great job by the host.

Our family of 4 (2 adults 2 kids) were very comfortable staying here. The decor was modern and lovely. The beachside views were incredible, and the sunsets! We wanted a peaceful weekend away from the noise and this home provided just that. The kitchen has everything we needed to cook a few meals, and we drove less than 10 minutes to local restaurants. Being able to walk outside and be on a sandy beach in less than a minute was more than ideal.

We had a wonderful stay at Jill’s gorgeous home - so brilliant to stay somewhere that has such a variety of handy amenities and lovely furnishings! We were unlucky with a noisy family in an upstairs holiday apartment but that would not put us off booking again as the place more than made up for it! Super communication and we would love to stay again!

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!
