Blue Waters 5 is a well-regarded apartment in Bournemouth, praised for its cleanliness, spaciousness, and proximity to the beach. Guests appreciate the friendly owner and the convenience of local shops. While some updates are suggested, particularly for the bathrooms and mattresses, the property offers a comfortable stay with private parking and is ideal for beach holidays and coastal walks.
The apartment is consistently described as clean and well-presented, with several reviews highlighting its tidiness. However, there are minor suggestions for improvement, such as updating some of the furnishings.
The location is generally well-received, being close to the beach and local amenities. It is considered quiet and convenient, though one review mentioned it being a bit far from the high street.
Guests find the apartment spacious and restful, with good-sized rooms. However, there are comments about the need for firmer mattresses and more comfortable sofas, which suggests room for improvement in this area.
Facilities are adequate with a well-equipped kitchen, though there are several mentions of the need for updates, particularly in the bathrooms. Issues with internet connectivity and heating were noted, affecting the score.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the owner, so it is not possible to assess this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.
About this property
This spacious ground floor apartment rests in the heart of Southbourne and is just a hop and skip from the beach. The bright open-plan living space offers an ideal spot for relaxing together, planning new adventures and cooking up a tasty dinner. After enjoying all the beach has to offer for the day, you can be assured of a relaxing evening in the lounge, then you can move through to the master double bedroom, which enjoys an en-suite shower room. Wake up slowly in the morning with your first coffee on the balcony leading off from the bedroom and then have a rejuvenating shower before getting ready for the day ahead. The second bedroom is set up as a twin with two single beds, while the family bathroom has bath and a separate shower cubicle. Bournemouth beach and pier is a 4-mile stroll along the seafront and Hengistbury Head Visitor Centre is just 1.5 miles walk from the apartment. Take your picnic, or stroll to the beachside bistro to try some local seafood. Book on Bournemouth air show weekend and enjoy an exceptional vantage point for watching the Red Arrows and incredible air displays. Explore the wider area and venture over to Poole or Southhampton for a different kind of day out. Choose this base for a varied holiday in Bournemouth. Adults only.
Southbourne is a suburb of Bournemouth, a short drive from town centre. It is a pleasant place to find independent shops and boutiques, and the Fisherman's Walk Cliff Railway links the coastal road with the promenade and beach. You’ll also be spoilt for choice with a vast array of restaurants catering for all budgets, along with clubs, bars and cinemas.

The only thing was the smart tv wasn't connected to the Internet which was a problem for me.

Really comfortable and very well maintained apartment with two good sized bedrooms (one with sliding doors to private balcony) and bathrooms (both with toilets and showers), a comfortable lounge/diner with sliding doors to another private balcony with outdoor table and chairs, plus a modern kitchen area offering a washer/dryer (even though not mentioned in listing) plus a large integrated fridge with freezer below. Ample parking at the rear, and easy access to the apartment on the same level as the main entrance. Only a few minutes stroll to the local Co-op plus Indian takeaway and chippie both offering good quality food, and Southbourne beach about a 5 minutes walk away too; what's not to love! Book and stay here; you will love it too as much as we did, and with Mike there to support any needs that may arise then you know for sure that you are in safe and friendly hands and well supported at all times. Many thanks again Mike; we will most certainly be back as soon as we are able :-)

Very well equipped. Very well situated, convenient for food shopping and coastal walks and beach. Good private allocated car park space. Met the owner, who provided good information of places of interest to visit.
