Stunning Sea View Apartment Near the Beach, Bournemouth & Poole

Good communication

It was a great location

In need of a little touch up in some places where decor worn on walls

The flat was well equipped with everything we needed and very comfortable. The location was great for the beach and buses. There were shops a short drive away. There are good walks along the Promenade in either direction.

Location, cleanliness, facilities (kitchen with washer/drier, dishwasher, microwave).

The heat was unbearable. It’s the top floor of a new block but there are skylights in the ceiling and big windows. It just makes it a greenhouse with no escape. It was 23 degrees outside when we arrived and 31.5 degrees inside. It was awful. There were three normal fans on when we got there (indicating they’re aware of the issue), but they just blow hot air around. We opened some windows and kept them as wide as they’d go overnight but we only ever got it to 27. The second bedroom only has a skylight, no window, so that was hard to cool. We were travelling with a four year old but I think if he was any younger we would have left early as I wouldn’t have felt it was a safe sleep environment. We messaged the hosts on day 2 with no reply, then on day 3. They messaged back to apologise after we’d checked out. We left the apartment by 8:30am and avoided coming back until 7:30pm each day because we couldn’t stand the heat (I’m 4mo pregnant with twins) - which meant eating out when we would have rather saved money and used the kitchen. Anyway, I’m short, we’d strongly advise avoiding this apartment in the summer months unless they update the listing to confirm they’ve installed proper aircon.
