Guests are consistently impressed with Ocean Retreat, praising its stunning sea views, high-quality furnishings, and prime location.

Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviews consistently mention the property's cleanliness, with guests describing the apartment as spotless and very clean. One isolated complaint about dog excrement in the parking area slightly impacts the score.
The location is highly praised for its stunning sea views, proximity to the beach, and easy access to Weymouth town. Guests appreciate the quiet yet convenient setting, enhancing their overall experience.
Comfort is a strong point, with guests finding the property cosy and the beds comfortable. However, a few minor comments about hard pillows and a lumpy mattress suggest there is a slight room for improvement.
The apartment's facilities are well-regarded, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and high-quality linen. Some guests suggest improvements such as additional dishwasher tablets and a fan for the bedroom, indicating minor maintenance considerations.
While many guests express gratitude for the thoughtful welcome packs and festive decorations, there is no consistent reference to such gifts being a standard offering for all stays. Therefore, it is politely noted that these kind gestures are appreciated but not guaranteed.
About this property
Set in a tranquil position on the outskirts of the pretty seaside town of Weymouth, Ocean Retreat is a chic apartment providing a superb setting for a romantic retreat for two. Boasting breath-taking views across the sandy shores and crystal-clear waters of the shingle beach, this tastefully decorated abode is sure to add a touch of luxury to your next escape to Dorset. Exploring inside the property, the fully equipped kitchen suits all needs when it comes to rustling up a delicious meal which enjoyed at the dining table whilst revelling in the views across the coast, before settling down on the plush sofa and putting your feet up to enjoy some downtime after a busy day sightseeing. The king size bedroom offers a tranquil haven for you to sleep well and feel refreshed for the next day’s adventure, and the chic bathroom has a large walk-in shower, double sink and WC. The screened balcony is a wonderful additional where you can sit with your morning cup of tea or coffee, before heading out to discover the delights of Weymouth, or once the sun has set, you sit here with a blanket and glass of wine in hand and watch the pretty twinkling lights of the esplanade light up the coast. The town centre of Weymouth has many things to see and do. Take a wander along the old historic harbour which leads you past many cafes and coffee shops where you can treat yourself to an ice cream or Dorset Cream Tea. Why not take a picnic up to the Nothe Gardens and sit and watch the local wildlife such as birds and squirrels roam the glorious grassed areas, where you will also discover Newtons Cove, with its shallow waters and rock pools, great for fossil hunting, and not forgetting the stunning panoramic views around to Portland Harbour and beyond. Spot exotic sea creatures in SEA LIFE Centre Weymouth or explore the cliffside remains of Sandsfoot Castle, best known for its well-kept gardens and spectacular sea views. See magnificent sand sculptures at Northe Fort, or head inland to for a fun-filled day with the Jurassic Safari. Whatever you choose to do on your staycation, Ocean Retreat is simply a beautiful home away from home in which to explore the wonders of the Jurassic Coast.
Weymouth is a popular resort town, resting on the shores of the Jurassic Coast. Complemented by a sea of cafés, pubs and restaurants, as well as a good selection of stores selling all the essentials for a self-catering stay, visitors will find all they could possibly need and so much more right on their doorstep. Dorchester and Bridport sit within easy touring distance, whilst Fortuneswell and Swanage are well-worth a visit.

Lovely sea views out of the very large windows. Very easy to walk into the town along the coastal path. Very nicely furnished and well equipped. Instructions for use of appliances were provided. Quiet location and easy to park our car. We will certainly be back and would love to live there.

The Dorset hamper was an unexpected bonus - thank you. Only comment would have been the mattress was rather lumpy but other than that we had a great week away and would certainly go again.
