Holiday rentals with beach access in Isle of Portland

The beach hut is a perfect retreat. It is beautifully kept and has a gorgeous private garden which goes right up to the water’s edge. It’s wonderfully located less than 5 minutes walk from the main Sandbanks beach and Rick Stein’s restaurant. The Studland chain ferry is also very close giving access to stunning Shell Bay and the wild National Trust beaches. Michele was very friendly & provided many thoughtful touches including her homemade lemon drizzle cake - sublime! I would love to return as it’s a perfect spot from which to explore this area or just to meditate on your bed with a sea view. Thanks Michele!

Despite the weather which was better than expected , we had a lovely stay. The area is beautiful.

Another enjoyable stay

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment was spotlessly clean upon arrival, bright and comfortable. Quiet at night. Nice views from the living area over the harbor and looking over the town from the large bedroom. As Suzanne had noted in the listing, there is no assigned parking space which could be an issue. We had to pay to park the day of arrival. It’s free after 6pm until 8am. One item we’d suggest adding would be a clothes hanger for drying as the machine didn’t seem to actually dry anything. We’d highly recommend Seagulls restaurant (book in advance). Unassuming place but food was excellent. We also liked Platform for a Sunday roast and Rise for breakfast. The George was decent. If we’re back in West Bay, we’d definitely stay again.

Great location, with amenities - and views across Charmouth to the sea - just as shown in photos. Just 10 minutes or so wander downhill to the sea and only half a mile from the village centre with a good (early until 9.00pm) convenience store, small bakery, pharmacy and pubs. Lots of coastal and inland walks within relatively short drives and easy access to Lyme Very responsive host.

Sebastian’s flat is in a perfect location. I chose it as my husband can’t walk long distances and everything was really nearby. No need to use the car if you want a break from driving. Beautifully comfortable, with lots of extras provided. We’ll be back! Thank you x

Really nice modern apartment tucked up under the roofline of a classic building, with great views out over the beach and bay. Clean and tidy throughout, and only two things you should be aware of before booking (and both also as noted in the host's description, so there isn't anything new here): first, the fifty-odd stairs to get up to the top floor, be wary if you have heavy bags or lots of suitcases or bad knees; and second, the limited headroom in the upper attic master bedroom. But if you are willing to accept those two things (which we were), its a great place to stay, handy for railway station, easy walking to the town's historic areas, and with the beach right across the road. We enjoyed our stay in Weymouth, and loved the coastal scenery. And Rachel was very helpful and responsive throughout.

Stayed in 2 of Marks apartments over the last couple of months, both have been spotlessly clean and and perfect on each stay. The location is fantastic right on the harbour and parking is just outside( free after 6pm👍🏻) . I would highly recommend a stay in either of the apartments and Mark and Caroline are great hosts! I look forward to coming back soon!

We had a lovely stay at 2 Castle in Dorset. The property was full of charm, with a perfect blend of character and comfort. Everything was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully prepared. The kitchen was well-equipped, the beds were very comfortable, and we really appreciated the extra bed Peter put in for our little one. The location was fantastic—quiet and peaceful, yet close enough to explore the beautiful Dorset countryside and coast. Communication with Peter was smooth and responsive throughout, and check-in was easy. There was a little play area right opposite to the house and my little one enjoyed playing there. Overall, a wonderful spot for a relaxing getaway. We’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others.

Fantastic stay at Joanne's. The house was cozy and had all the appliances we could need for a few days and in very good condition. All little details had been carefully thougt of, including a welcome hamper. The shower had very good pressure and the terrace was very enjoyable in the sunny mornings. Parking can be tricky to find at times but despite that we had a very pleasant stay.

A beautiful home overlooking the sea in a fabulous part of the world. Definitely would come back

Seahorse Cottage is a beautifully appointed holiday home with everything needed for a lovely relaxing break. It’s a short walk from the old town and beachfront where there are many restaurants and bars to choose from. Beware the seagulls dive bombing along the seafront if you’re eating anything though 🫢.

We enjoyed our stay again at this lovely house with amazing views. Looking forward to staying there again in August. A peaceful & relaxing place to stay.

I had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb. The house was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described – the perfect home base for our trip. Our host, Paul, was incredibly friendly and accommodating, and he went out of his way to make sure everything was just right. He also gave us loads of great suggestions for local activities and places to check out, which really helped us make the most of our time in the area. Communication was easy and quick, and I felt genuinely welcomed from the moment I arrived. Couldn’t have asked for a better host or a better experience. Thanks again, Paul – we’d love to come back!

We had a very pleasant stay in Laura's lovely cottage, would happily book again.

Had a great time staying here with all the family, the house is so close to the beach it was perfect for us! Was such an easy and chill stay with a surprise hamper full of goodies when we arrived. Would love to stay here again and Tristan was super helpful with recommendations and extra info!

Fabulous place, fantastic views from living room and master bedroom, perfect place. Such a great location just across the road from the beach and a few minutes walk from the harbour and town centre. The sound of the pebbles washing up the beach lulled us to sleep. Thank you Anna!

We had a great stay. The flat was as described and well set up for a toddler. There were even toys to play with.

We spent two wonderful weeks in this outstanding flat and enjoyed it from the very first moment. Anna was incredibly helpful and friendly even before we booked, and supported us with any questions or concerns we had during our stay. We couldn't have wished for better hosts in Weymouth. The flat is excellently equipped. You'll find everything you could possibly need in the kitchen, the Wi-Fi worked perfectly throughout, and the bed was large and comfortable. We loved being so close to the beach and being able to go for a lovely stroll whenever we fancied. Supermarkets, restaurants, and a bus stop are right next to the building, providing everything one might need for a stay. You should definitely stay here – we loved it!

beautiful flat, with everything you need for a stay in Weymouth. We would highly recommend this to anyone.

A very tasteful modern and pristine apartment with the most amazing views along the Jurassic Coast - what a place to relax. It is reasonably close to the beautiful town of Lyme Regis walking however the return journey is challenging and is not for everyone. It is so convenient though for the many walking routes in the area which we really enjoyed. Thanks Melanie and David for wonderful stay ( loved your new lawn mower David, we might have to get one too! )

My mother absolutely loved the property. Fantastic location

A very peaceful flat, on a quiet street, with everything you need. I was only there for one night but was very comfortable. I didn't meet Nicole, but she was always very responsive and helpful, even though I booked late in the evening for that night.

Host is responsive There are lots of elements to make a stay more comfortable e.g. plenty of kitchen items, very comfortable bed, lovely patio area with a sun awning. I used gingerly as had spotted a couple of hornets which are frightening in size Local shop in the filling station is cute, even had a vegan magnum Nice to have wipe clean floors Although a small fan provided hot nights might be more challenging as no windows to open just doors. Local lanes are for brave drivers, if it wasn’t for them I would return. Too many large vehicles encountered with only passing place at one point due to someone not parking on their drive otherwise no idea what would have happened. Gorgeous place. Romantic.
