Overview of Santorini House

Santorini House is a spacious contemporary home in Lilliput, one of Poole's most attractive residential areas between the harbour and Sandbanks. Sleeping ten guests across five bedrooms, it offers a particularly flexible setup for families sharing or multi-generational groups thanks to its separate ground-floor annex. See more of our large holiday homes for groups in Poole here.

The location is a major part of the appeal. Sandbanks Beach is just over a mile away, while Poole Harbour, local restaurants, pubs and village shops are all close at hand. Groups can spend one day swimming and relaxing on the sand, the next paddleboarding or sailing on the harbour and still be back at the house in time for an evening in the hot tub.

Inside, the first-floor kitchen and dining area forms the main social hub, with a large island, seating for ten and bifold doors opening onto the decked terrace. The separate lounge provides a more relaxed place to settle down in the evening, while the games room gives children, teenagers and adults their own space with a pool table and large Smart TV.

The self-contained annex is one of the strongest reasons to choose Santorini House. With its own bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, dining space and lounge, it allows grandparents, another couple or a second family unit to enjoy more privacy without feeling removed from the rest of the group.

Outside, the landscaped rear garden provides plenty of space for summer days at home, with a decked seating area and private hot tub. For families and friends looking for a modern large holiday home close to Sandbanks and Poole Harbour, Santorini House combines flexibility, entertainment and an excellent coastal location.

Santorini House at a Glance

Who is Santorini House Best For?

Santorini House is particularly well suited to two families or a multi-generational group because the annex provides genuine independence rather than simply another bedroom.

Grandparents, another couple or a smaller family unit can have their own kitchen, bathroom and living room downstairs, while still joining everyone else for meals and evenings in the main house.

The games room makes the property especially appealing to families with teenagers, while the hot tub adds something for adults once everyone returns from the beach.

Golfers are also well placed, with Parkstone Golf Club nearby and several other courses around Poole and Bournemouth.

Location & Things to Do Near Santorini House

Santorini House is in Lilliput, a sought-after part of Poole set between Poole Harbour and the beaches around Sandbanks. The location gives groups an excellent balance between everyday convenience and easy access to some of Dorset's best-known coastal scenery.

Sandbanks Beach is just over a mile away and remains one of the area's biggest attractions. Its long stretch of soft golden sand has Blue Flag status, seasonal lifeguards, showers, cafés and family facilities, making it easy to spend a full day beside the sea.

Poole Harbour offers a different kind of day on the water. Its sheltered setting is popular for sailing, windsurfing, kayaking and paddleboarding, with equipment hire and tuition available locally. The shallow waters around the Sandbanks side of the harbour are particularly popular with beginners.

Golfers have Parkstone Golf Club close by. Its heathland course runs through mature pine woodland and has extensive views towards Poole Harbour, Brownsea Island and the Isle of Purbeck.

Brownsea Island is another excellent day out for families and wildlife enthusiasts. Boats operate from Poole, taking visitors across to woodland, heathland and lagoon habitats that are particularly well known for red squirrels and birdlife.

The Sandbanks chain ferry provides a quick route across the harbour entrance towards Studland and the Isle of Purbeck. From there, groups can enjoy long sandy beaches, walk towards Old Harry Rocks or continue on to Swanage and Corfe Castle.

Poole Quay adds restaurants, harbour cruises and a historic waterfront, while nearby Compton Acres offers beautifully landscaped gardens for a quieter afternoon away from the beach.

For groups staying at Santorini House, the location makes it easy to combine beach days, watersports, golf and Dorset day trips without spending large amounts of the holiday in the car.
