The accommodation is arranged over three floors, giving the group a useful degree of separation.

With three bathrooms across the house, the layout works well for a full group of eight.

The first floor is devoted to the main social space. The kitchen, dining area and lounge are open plan, with enough room for everyone to cook, eat and relax together. Doors from the lounge open onto a balcony with outdoor furniture, adding another place to sit outside after a day at the beach.

At ground level, the enclosed rear garden provides a more private outdoor area with furniture and a charcoal barbecue. The garden bedroom opens directly outside, which works particularly well during summer stays.

The beach is around five minutes away on foot, while Poole Harbour, cafés, restaurants and watersports facilities are all nearby. The Sandbanks Ferry also gives easy access to Studland and the Isle of Purbeck.

For groups looking for a large Sandbanks holiday home with flexible accommodation and a genuine walk-to-the-beach location, 4 Red Sails is a very convenient base.
