Enjoy all-day sunshine at this penthouse apartment, complete with a wraparound balcony and south-facing bedrooms. We recommend having a car here for ease of getting around. Fortunately, Poole’s town centre is only a seven-minute drive away, while Sandbanks Beach is reached in around ten. Flexible sleeping makes the home ideal for any group, and the kitchen is equipped for easy self-catering. While the outside space doesn’t have anywhere to sit, it’s still a fine spot to watch the day pass by.

Home truths
Parking for one car is available on the premises. You’ll need to provide the host with your car’s registration number before your arrival.
The king-size bed can be arranged as two singles upon request.
Please keep noise to a minimum between 11pm and 8am.
You won't find a welcome hamper or basic essentials here, so we'd recommend packing some bits and bobs to get you started. The nearest supermarket is a 13-minute walk or three-minute drive away.

In the middle of Poole Harbour, tiny Brownsea Island, famous for Lord Baden-Powell's scout camps, contains paths that meander through beautiful woods and heaths, where you'll see red deer, peacocks and red squirrels.
