Description Take Me to My Beach: Bournemouth

With fabulous sea views and two balconies, this gorgeous apartment is right on Southbourne Beach (accessed via the Fisherman's Walk zig-zag path and a cliff lift, a two-minute walk away). Southbourne Town centre is a five to ten-minute saunter – here, you'll find an array of restaurants and bars, while Bournemouth is an eight-minute drive and Poole is thirty minutes by car.

When you're not on the beach basking in the sun or exploring nearby, relax on this home's balcony with a glass of wine from the complimentary bottle – the vistas over the beach are stunning. Then whip up a seafood dinner in the modern kitchen with its granite surfaces. Afterwards, take in the seascape from the comfy sofa. We just couldn't tear ourselves away from the windows.
