About this property
Blue Water 8 is a spacious ground floor apartment in the heart of Southbourne and only a stroll away from golden beaches of Bournemouth's dazzling shores. This single-storey accommodation has level access from the front door and throughout, making it easy for those slightly less able on their feet. The bright, open-plan living room offers the ideal place for relaxing together and planning holiday adventures. The kitchen is well-appointed for cooking up a tasty dinner to be enjoyed at the dining table. Then you can sit out on the balcony and enjoy the last of the days’ sun washed down with a glass of wine. Alternatively, you can take a stroll along the beachfront and watch the sunset and on return, choose from two bedrooms to catch your rest for the night. The master bedroom has its very own en-suite shower room and adjoining balcony. Wake up slowly in the morning with your first coffee of the day and step outside to a fresh coastal breeze. The second bedroom is set up as a twin with two single beds, while the family bathroom has a bath, where you can soak away any troubles, with a shower over for another option. Bournemouth beach and pier is a 4-mile walk along the seafront and Hengistbury Head visitor centre is just also close by. If you want to explore further afield there are plenty of exciting places to visit including, the famous Sandbanks, Brownsea Island and Poole Harbour accessed by ferry and slightly farther afield is the Studland and Godlingston Heath National Nature Reserve. A lovely choice for your next holiday in Dorset.
