  • "We had a lovely stay."

    The beach front was in easy walking distance. There was a handy co-op and we caught the bus into Bournemouth. The only thing missing was a tea towel which luckily we had taken one. A few more cups and crockery would mean we would not have to put the dishwasher on as often.

  • "Greatly enjoyed our stay at 1 Blue Waters."

    Was very well maintained equipped with two bathrooms making our stay even more convenient. All mod cons were in situ and the accommodation was very comfortable and felt like home from home. The street is very quiet and only heard some seagulls all week and a five minute walk from the seafront accessible via a zig - zag path. We would recommend a stay here and would be happy to return in future. Thank you Steve and Julie ;-)

    Thank you for the fantastic feedback. We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay and would love to welcome you back. Julie & Steve Property Owner

  • "Extremely comfortable, home away from home."

    spotlessly clean and tidy. Large screen TV! Two bathrooms, absolutely everything has been considered and provided. The balcony is a real sun trap too. It is the perfect location, close to the beach, shops and takeaways and some excellent restaurants. There is plenty to do, parking is expensive, but the bus service is excellent, close and cheap. There is an electric car charging station close by, we found that handy as it is a fast charge but slightly more expensive. The path to the beach is a stretch in that it is a collection of steep slopes and stairs. Even the slope which is called disabled friendly, is very steep. So although the property is a perfect location, it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility. Worth the effort as the beach has wonderful miles of sand and perfectly clear water. We can't wait to go back.

    Thank you for the wonderful feedback. We’re delighted you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back Steve & Julie Property Owner

  • "Fantastic stay at ' Blue Waters'."

    The apartment is in a lovely quiet area close to seafront. Had everything could possibly need for a fuss free holiday. The cleanliness was fab, the beds were so comfortable. Good communication from the owners. Slight downside for me personally was that couldn't have a window open at night(only a patio door in master bedroom) but that didn't spoil our stay this time due to lower temperatures! Fans were available if needed. Would recommend a stay here without hesitation

  • "Main page of listing states "ground floor apartment" however in the smaller print later in the description it is a "lower ground floor" ."

    Hallway has a fusty odour when you enter the apartment. Parking space is beneath two trees which leave your car covered in seed heads, leaves etc. A great location for access to SoBo beach.

    Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed your stay and enjoyed the location. Being lower ground also means we have a lovely sun terrace. The trees have been prolific this year but just about finished flowering and our property management company are arranging for a tree surgeon to visit to trim them back. Property Owner

    We were amazed to be so close to the beach and to have wonderful walks along the coast in both directions. The apartment is comfortable and well equipped. Even although it is a basement flat the sun comes into the front rooms and makes it bright and welcoming. It is lovely being able to sit outside at the table in the sunshine on the terrace.

    It's location is good, close to the seafront in Southbourne. We used a bus stop nearby to go into Bournemouth and then walked back to Southbourne along the promenade - a great walk along the sea. Walking the other way is Hengistbury Head and the Hiker Cafe - both worth a visit.

The property

1 Blue Waters is an enticing, single level lower-ground-floor apartment settled on the coast of Southbourne, Dorset.

Offering a group of four a marvellous base for the explorations of Dorset, the apartment enjoys easy access to the surrounding suburbs with their coastal activities, along with the outdoor havens of the surrounding national parks.

A designated parking place greets you on arrival, so you can safely park your vehicle before heading inside this fabulous abode.

Step inside to find a light and airy open-plan living space that is bathed in the sun's rays, thanks to the bi-fold doors.

Stretch out on the cream corner sofa and switch on the TV to enjoy a movie with all the family.

Move across the space to the kitchen, a space fitted with sleek, wooden units and an array of integrated appliances, which the budding chef of the party can enjoy fixing up delicious meals with.

Enjoy these meals at the connecting breakfast bar or gather the family around the dining table and savour a sumptuous dinner together.

When night falls, rest your head in one of two tastefully furnished double bedrooms, with one enjoying the lovely extras of a TV and an en-suite shower room; ideal for those seeking a little more privacy.

A contemporary bathroom is situated close by and offers a separate bath and a walk-in shower, so you can choose to start your day with either a tranquil soak or a refreshing rinse.

The apartment backs onto a charming, rear decking, where you can sit out with a refreshing beverage and soak up the sea breeze.

Head out to explore Southbourne, a delightful suburb of Bournemouth, where all your amenities are just a stone's throw away, along with access to Southbourne's beach, cliffs, the landmark of Southbourne Deck Chair and the nearby Hengistbury Head, an unspoilt headland that is home to an abundance of walking trails and wildlife-spotting opportunities.

Continue to the neighbouring suburb of Boscombe, a place that is also home to a gorgeous beach with a pier, along with the lovely outdoor spaces of Kings Park and Fisherman's Walk Park.

Progress into the centre of Bournemouth, where Meyrick Park and the famed Bournemouth Parks make for the perfect places for picnics and leisurely strolls, or head down to the city's coast to find the renowned beach with its equally popular pier, which boasts an oceanarium, amusements, a theatre and boat rides.

Poole, Milford-on-Sea, along with the delights of Cranborne Chase AONB and the New Forest National Park rest within easy reach of the property; you'll rarely find yourself running out of things to do!

For a coastal adventure to remember, look no further than 1 Blue Waters.
