“There were cobwebs with dirt in behind the blinds and the windows looked as if they hadn't been cleaned in ages.”

The en-suite had a very strong odour of urine.

“Blue water 8 is a spacious well appointed flat in an ideal position in Southbourne.”

Central to all amenities. Well equipped with all you may need for a good holiday. Mike the owner lives nearby and met us on arrival, very pleasant and helpful. We did have a couple of problems, our grill pan handle would not fit and Mike ordered a new one and delivered the next day. On going to bed at 11pm on first night one bed collapsed and Mike came round and mended it and it was perfect for the rest of the week. Cannot fault his prompt attention. My only request would be more comfortable furniture on the balconies. Would certainly recommend.

“A very spacious and comfortable apartment with sunny balconies.”

There was everything we needed. The beach is a short walk away and an excellent Co-op just up the road is a bonus. The owner was very helpful on arrival, showing us round and pointing out places to visit in the area. Highly recommended.

Wendy March 2024

“A really lovely apartment, beautifully furnished and very clean.”

Mike, the owner, met us with the keys and explained how everything worked. Having two bathrooms was fantastic and parking was no problem. There was plenty of room for the three of us and the building .. and street .. were very quiet. A decent Co-op is within easy walking distance. Will definitely be back.

- Wendy, March 2024
Sheila March 2024

“Warm and comfortable.”

Although owner very welcoming, and said we could contact him at any time, we do think that a welcome pack would be useful. For example-nearest doctors, hospital, taxis, best places to eat etc. Plus the wi-fi code more clearly visible. We did have a very nice relaxing holiday and visited some lovely places. Thank you

Julia July 2022

“Good location for the beach and local buses to Bournemouth and beyond.”

Toilet roll holder and basin plug were broken in the en-suite, a few pieces of crockery had food on them, other than that all was fine. Make sure you take bin bags, tea towels and cleaning cloths!

- Julia, July 2022

Christine September 2021

“Probably one of the worst holiday let’s we have experienced.”

Certainly not a ‘Dream property’ The apartment smelt musty, carpet’s needed cleaning and were badly stained. Mouldy grouting in en-suite and shower cubicle rim was black, we arrived on the Friday and cleaner came in and cleaned it on the Monday. Sofa was well worn. You will need to bring cleaning cloths, tea towels, cleaning materials as the only things they provide is washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets due to COVID! I would also bring towels as hand towels were grim and also oven gloves. Beds are not that good, my partner is suffering a bad back due to sleeping on a poorly sprung bed. Was expecting a higher standard but generally poor cleaning standards and not good quality beds, bedding and linen. A real shame as location was good. I am totally amazed no one else has not complained as these things didn’t happen in a week!

Rob October 2020

“The apartment was perfect for our needs, very clean, comfortable and well equipped.”

Great service and welcome by the owner. It was even closer to the beach than we realised, and the Bistro on the Beach being so close was a real bonus! It was a fantastic base for a Dorset and New Forest adventure. Hope to be back again!
