Waterfront vacation rentals in Test Valley District

Really lovely, comfortable and clean apartment in a great location. Beautiful Seaview was the highlight for us.

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!

Great stay in a comfortable stylish apartment. The location was perfect as were travelling without a car and could easily walk everywhere. Lots of great pubs and restaurants nearby

Nice, modern flat in a great location with a fantastic view. Parking complicated but the host sent clear instructions and was very helpful. Would recommend.

Lovely apartment. Everything we needed. Comfortable. Loved the balcony as it gave an unhindered outlook to the bay, which we love and have visited for many years. Daughter and family in flat below so gave us a lovely family holiday. Lovely Sunday lunch at the Albion though need to make sure you have the Sunday roast menu which they forgot to give us!! All in all a great stay. Many thanks. Mike and Lecky Allwood.

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

Emily and Luke were really helpful and welcoming. The apartment is lovely, and they have equipped it with great care and thoughtfulness. All the instructions were very clear and helpful. Impeccably clean. Very comfortable. We really liked their style, too - the furniture and the art. Had a great stay, thank you.

What an amazing apartment. Great location right on the beach, with fantastic views of the sea from the windows. Choice of seating areas with tables, open balcony and enclosed window area. Comfortable beds. Well equipped kitchen. Easy to get to the ‘Witterings’ Chichester Marina etc. We all wished we could have stayed longer. Sam was a great person to liaise with before we arrived, nothing was too much trouble. Thank you Sam.

Philip has been a great host, and we had an incredible stay. Not only was the house absolutely stunning, but the location couldn’t be better. Despite the weather still being chilly - the house felt warm and inviting, my favourite was enjoying the sea views from the comfort of the house while sipping my morning coffee. It’s clear that a lot of care has gone into making this place feel like a home. We’ve travelled with two young kids and everything we needed was already there. The welcome treats were a big bonus! We’ve enjoyed a bottle of Prosecco with our friends on arrival. I hope we can return soon.

We had a great time at Dibbens Townhouse. So well located - just a couple of minutes from the quay, and surrounded by lovely restaurants. The house is really spacious and very comfortable. Everything you could need. There can be a bit of external noise - both from people on the high street, and from seagulls - so I used earplugs as others had mentioned on the first night to help me get to sleep. It was much quieter on the second night. Definitely want to come back - sadly the weather turned so we didn’t do what we were planning to on our last day, and due to a recent operation I wasn’t able to try out the amazing looking bath!! Would highly recommended a stay here. Thank you for having us.

We were absolutely delighted with our stay in the Nook. Such a beautiful setting and cosy, comfortable accommodation, with everything we could possibly need. The bed was very comfortable and we enjoyed a relaxing soak in the bath, followed by a hot drink in front of the log fire. I note the quality of the decor and crockery etc. we also very much enjoyed a walk around the garden. Such an idyllic location. Special thanks to Jennifer for offering such a wonderful experience.

Carey is always responsive and happy to help as much as she can, this is our second stay here and it doesn’t disappoint, clean and everything is thought of, will definitely stay there again 😊

Beautiful property, spotlessly clean and well equipped. Set right on a very peaceful lake; was great siting on the desk watching the water sports. Easy to find and enter and good communication from the hosts. No faults at all.

Our international friends who were visiting from Sweden were very happy here. Everything they needed was supplied and the place was nice and tidy and clean. Peaceful quiet area only a short walk from the beach. Everything was disability friendly too.

what a stunning place, so clean and welcoming. beautiful linens and spotless. highly recommend and can't wait to book again!

The Boathouse is an elegant converted property in a discreet location, but so close to the riverfront at Warsash. The living space on the first floor is airy and comfortable with a good kitchen area. The bedrooms downstairs are comfortable and have great bathrooms. It's also very useful to have a parking space outside. If you bring another car, the long stay car park is only a step away and good value. Warsash is well positioned for leisurely walks and the cash only ferry across to Hamble-le-Rice, which is equally charming. So many boats here, there's always something to watch and good options for local food and drink on both sides of the river. We enjoyed a lovely weekend.

Chris' apartment was a great find. We stayed for a month and booked after our previous arrangements were cancelled. we are delighted with the apartment and the location. The place was clean and bright, very comfortable and very well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. It was also beautifully decorated, with lovely touches, great guidebooks and some nice breakfast items for our first morning. Chris is a great host. His guidebook and instructions are invaluable - I would highly recommend anyone to take the time to read them before arriving. He has taken a lot of time and effort into putting the information together and it makes life so much easier and certainly adds to the enjoyment of your stay.

Julie was a fantastic host, she was very responsive and helpful. The flat was lovely, it was in a great central location and was well equipped, homely and pristine. There were thoughtful touches such as the welcome hamper and a useful parking permit. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or to return again.

Claire's apartment was lovely with beautiful views of the sea! All three of the bedrooms were huge with really comfy beds, our children loved the toy box and my daughter was particularly fond of a cushion with seagulls on it :) It was so great to have all the extras for staying with a baby and young children, including next-to-me cot, highchair, children's toilet seat and step and tableware. We loved the location, perfect for both a short walk to Alum Chine beach and a quick drive to Bournemouth Pier and the Aquarium. My daughter asked if we could come back every Father's Day! :D x

Perfect for a short stay. Great view from the lounge and a perfect location. Really comfortable and everything exactly as described. Thank you!

I’ve stayed at this property before many years ago when it was first listed so this was a return trip because of how good it was the first time. It’s great to see its still in exactly the same condition it was all those years ago. Is quite simply one of the most beautiful apartments there is. The location is incredible and it has been decorated with such care and thought. The photos don’t really do it justice even though they are great too. It’s a place you will visit and think “ I would love to live here” Modern with a hint of style overlooking the sea, you can’t really ask for anything more. A lovely touch of being able to check out later was the icing on absolutely wonderful trip. This one isn’t to be missed!

Great apartment in a perfect location! The apartment is exactly as in the photos and the view from the living room on a sunny morning is perfect. Chris was responsive on messages upon booking and checked a few times before checking in we had everything we needed. There was no issues at all so no need for us to reach out for any further help. First time visiting the Isle of Wight and already can’t wait to come back. Thanks for a great stay ☺️

Absolutely charming accommodation. Really spacious and well laid out. Felt like home away from home, could have stayed here for longer and will definitely look into coming back here. Lovely walk to the nearest pub for lunch, the mill is right on the river with Stunning views of the surrounding area. Nice garden area with views of the cows in the field. The hot water was extremely hot so be careful, but it was nice to always have plenty of hot water for washing and showering. Overall a lovely private place to stay.

This a beautiful bright and very well designed pad - just 3 mins walk from a beach that goes on for miles. It's kept to a very high standards and one of the best Airbnb's I've stayed in for a long time. I would definitely recommend it and we will return
