Overview of Bay Harbour View No.2

Bay Harbour View No.2 is a large ground-floor holiday apartment in one of Dorset's most sought-after coastal locations, with direct access onto Sandbanks Beach. Sleeping eight across four bedrooms, it offers families and groups the unusual luxury of stepping from their accommodation almost straight onto the sand.

The apartment has plenty to offer beyond its location. A dedicated games room with pool table and darts gives children, teenagers and adults somewhere to spend time away from the main living area, while a separate snug with television works well for films and gaming. These additional spaces are particularly valuable when eight people are sharing.

Four bedrooms include a flexible super king that can be arranged as twin beds, two doubles and a further twin. Three bathrooms help the apartment work comfortably for larger parties, particularly two families or several couples holidaying together.

Outside, the private terrace provides seating for relaxing or eating outdoors, while a communal beachside shower makes it easy to rinse off sand and seawater after swimming, paddleboarding or a day on the beach.

Sandbanks itself adds enormously to the appeal. Restaurants, cafés and everyday amenities are close by, Poole Harbour provides excellent opportunities for sailing and paddlesports and the chain ferry gives quick access to Studland and the Isle of Purbeck. Bay Harbour View No.2 is an excellent choice for groups wanting a large holiday home where beach days require almost no planning at all.

Who is Bay Harbour View No.2 Best For?

Bay Harbour View No.2 is particularly strong for two families sharing a Dorset beach holiday. The combination of two double bedrooms, a twin and a flexible super king or twin gives parents, children and teenagers several practical sleeping options.

One bedroom has a super king bed that can be divided into two singles when requested in advance. There are also two double bedrooms and a dedicated twin.

Location & Things to Do Near Bay Harbour View No.2

The location is the defining feature of a stay at Bay Harbour View No.2. Sandbanks Beach is directly outside, allowing guests to start the day with a swim, walk the shoreline before breakfast or return easily to the apartment between sessions on the sand. The beach is known for its broad stretch of golden sand and Blue Flag status, making it one of Dorset's most popular family beaches.

Poole Harbour lies on the opposite side of the peninsula and gives the area a second waterside character. Sailing, paddleboarding, kayaking and other watersports are widely available around the harbour, making Sandbanks especially appealing to active families and groups.

The peninsula also has a strong food and drink scene. Cafés and restaurants are within walking distance, ranging from relaxed beachside options to restaurants overlooking the harbour. Canford Cliffs is close by for additional shops and places to eat.

At the western end of Sandbanks, the chain ferry crosses the entrance to Poole Harbour and provides an easy route to Shell Bay and Studland. Studland Bay offers four miles of sandy beaches backed by dunes and heathland, while walkers can continue towards Old Harry Rocks for one of Dorset's most recognisable coastal views.

Brownsea Island makes another excellent day out. The island sits within Poole Harbour and is famous for its woodland, heathland, lagoon and red squirrels. During the main 2026 visitor season, regular day visitors need to take the ferry from Poole Quay rather than Sandbanks while work continues around the new Sandbanks jetty.

Poole itself offers the historic Quay, harbour cruises and restaurants, while Bournemouth adds gardens, shopping, a pier and another long stretch of sandy coastline. This combination of beach, harbour, watersports, walking and easy day trips makes Sandbanks an outstanding location for a large group holiday.
