Overview of Harbour Lights

Harbour Lights is an impressive detached home overlooking Poole Harbour and Parkstone Yacht Club Marina, with around 4,000 square feet of accommodation spread across four floors. Sleeping ten in five permanent bedrooms, it gives families and groups of friends far more room than the average coastal holiday home.

Its position beside the harbour is a major part of the appeal. Three large balconies make the most of the outlook across the water and marina, while access to Poole Harbour is less than 100 metres away. For guests who want to sail, kayak, paddleboard or simply spend time beside the water, this is a particularly strong location.

Inside, several spacious living areas give a full group of ten plenty of choice. Adults can relax together in one part of the house while children or teenagers use another, and the separate games room with pool table provides an extra social space away from the main lounges.

The bedroom layout is equally useful for adult groups and families, with a four-poster king, another king-size room, two doubles and a twin. Nobody needs to rely on sofa beds or temporary sleeping arrangements.

Outside, the large enclosed garden gives the group additional space, while there is room to store outdoor equipment including kayaks, bicycles, jet skis and even a boat trailer.

With parking for four cars, generous living space and Sandbanks, Poole Harbour and the wider Dorset coast close by, Harbour Lights is a strong choice for a memorable large group holiday by the water.

Location & Things to Do Near Harbour Lights

Harbour Lights overlooks Poole Harbour close to Sandbanks, putting guests in one of Dorset's best areas for beaches, sailing and watersports. The sheltered harbour sits on one side of the peninsula while the long golden sands of Sandbanks and Poole Bay stretch along the other, giving groups two very different coastal environments to enjoy.

Sandbanks Beach is one of the best-known beaches on the south coast, with a broad sweep of sand that works particularly well for family beach days, swimming and waterside walks. There are also cafés, restaurants and watersports facilities around the peninsula, so it is easy to spend an entire day close to the water.

Poole Harbour is particularly good for active holidays. Sailing, windsurfing, paddleboarding and kayaking are all popular, with tuition and equipment hire available locally. Harbour Lights is especially convenient for guests bringing their own equipment because the property has storage for kayaks, bikes and other watersports gear.

The Sandbanks chain ferry provides an easy route across the harbour entrance to Studland. Once across, groups can explore Shell Bay, Knoll Beach and the wider Studland peninsula, with miles of sandy beach and heathland to discover.

Walkers can continue from Studland towards Old Harry Rocks and the Jurassic Coast, while cyclists can use the ferry to reach routes across the Isle of Purbeck.

Brownsea Island is another excellent day out. The island sits within Poole Harbour and is known for woodland, heathland, lagoons and wildlife including red squirrels.

Poole itself adds a historic quay, restaurants, shops and harbour cruises, while Bournemouth provides further beaches, entertainment and dining within easy reach.
