Long term lets in Whitecliff are furnished homes let for 28 nights or more, with bills included and no fixed term, to people who need to live near Poole Hospital, the harbour and the town centre for a few weeks or months.

Where the homes are
The Flexiestays group lets 130 properties in central Bournemouth and on the West Cliff, in BH2, listed on property to rent in Bournemouth. Whitecliff has no group buildings. Homes here are owned by local landlords and listed through the Flexiestays platform, Bournemouth's number one for winter and long stays.
Who needs a furnished home in Whitecliff
- Poole Hospital staff. Clinicians on placements, agency nurses and doctors in their first months in post, a walk across Poole Park from work.
- Relatives of patients. Families supporting someone through planned treatment, who want somewhere quiet and close.
- Relocating families. People moving to Poole for work at the hospital, the RNLI, Sunseeker, the port or the employers of Upton and Creekmoor, who want a garden and a park while they find a home.
- Households between homes. Local families whose sale has completed first.
- Remote workers. People who want the harbour path as a daily walk for a season.
How a Whitecliff home is let this way
A landlord lists a furnished flat or house through Flexiestays at a monthly price with bills included. Flexiestays charges only 8% on the bookings it brings to managed properties. Each stay is vetted, the inventory taken at both ends and the home inspected during the stay.
What a monthly guest needs: good heating, fast Wi-Fi, a washing machine and dryer, a table to work at, clear parking, and for families a cot, a stair gate and a garden. Our guide to furnishing a let lists the rest.
A Whitecliff home suits guests who want a walk to clear their head after a long shift or a hard day at the hospital: the shore path, the fields of the harbourside park and Poole Park's lake are all on the doorstep, and listings say so.
How a stay differs from a tenancy
A serviced let to someone whose main home is elsewhere sits outside the assured tenancy rules. A guest who makes the home their only home may be a tenant whatever the booking is called, so each stay gets the right agreement. Our guide to long stays against tenancies explains the difference; it is not legal advice.

Whitecliff is the quiet harbour edge of Lower Parkstone: residential roads of houses and flats running down to Whitecliff Harbourside Park, with Poole Park beside it and a flat path along the water to Poole Quay. It rents and sells to families, older buyers and professionals who want green space and a harbour view within reach of the town centre.
Whitecliff's monthly stays start with Poole Hospital. The hospital on Longfleet Road is on the far side of Poole Park, close enough to walk, and it brings clinicians on placements, agency staff and relatives supporting a patient through treatment, all of whom need somewhere furnished for weeks rather than nights.
Relocating families are the second group. People moving to Poole for a job, whether at the hospital, the RNLI on West Quay Road, Sunseeker or the port across the water, or the employers around Upton and Creekmoor, want a house with a garden and a park within a walk while they find a permanent home. Households between a sale and a purchase in Lower Parkstone want to stay near the schools.
A furnished flat with a view suits a clinician or a relative; a family house with a garden suits a relocation. The Flexiestays group's 130 properties are in central Bournemouth and on the West Cliff; in Whitecliff, stays are in landlords' homes let through the Flexiestays platform.
Who rents and buys in Whitecliff
- Families who want parks. Two large parks, flat paths and nearby primary schools bring families who rent and buy for space to play rather than a seafront address.
- Harbour views. Flats and houses that look over Parkstone Bay to Brownsea Island are bought by downsizers and second-home owners, and command a premium when they come up.
- Poole Hospital. Staff and relatives of patients at the hospital across Poole Park rent here, often furnished and for a few months.
- A walk to the Quay. Tenants and buyers who work in Poole town centre value the mile and a half of flat harbourside path through Baiter Park to the Quay.

Long term lets in Whitecliff: questions
Can I rent a furnished home near Poole Hospital for a few months?

Who books long stays in Whitecliff?
Clinicians and agency staff on placements at Poole Hospital, relatives supporting a patient, families relocating to Poole for work, and households between homes. Most want a quiet home, parking and a walk by the water.
What is included in a long stay?
Stays through Flexiestays are fully furnished with bed linen, towels and a working kitchen, and the monthly price includes electricity, gas, water, Wi-Fi and council tax. Each listing says exactly what comes with the home.
I own a house in Whitecliff. Can it be let this way?
Yes, if it is furnished and in good order. Flexiestays lists it to individuals and employers looking for monthly stays and charges only 8% on the bookings it brings to managed properties. We compare the income with a standard tenancy first.
Is a long stay the same as renting on a tenancy?
No. A serviced stay of 28 nights or more is for someone whose main home is elsewhere, with no fixed term and bills included. A guest who makes the home their only home may be a tenant, so we use the right agreement. This is not legal advice.

I've had a really positive experience
I've had a really positive experience with the Airbnb building services, and I'd especially like to recognise Nat, Jack, and Reece for how helpful, friendly, and professional they are. They're always approachable, responsive, and willing to go the extra mile to help resolve any issues or answer questions. Their attitude makes a real difference and creates a welcoming experience for residents and guests. A special mention has to go to Natalie, who has been exceptionally helpful. She is consistently kind, attentive, and proactive, and always makes sure things are dealt with properly. Her dedication and willingness to help really stand out and are very much appreciated. Thank you to the whole team for all your hard work, it definitely doesn't go unnoticed!
Great accommodation and location
Ease of booking. Great communication with the team. Moved to the area and stayed while purchasing property. Very flexible regarding duration of stay. 2 months. We stayed in 2 different apartments. Both lovely. Quiet. No hassle. Also location awesome. A few minutes walk to the beach and town. Thanks again everyone at Flexistays Bournemouth. Highly recommend
Lovely and cosy apartment in the centre
Lovely and cosy apartment in the centre of Bournemouth, and managing to still be quiet. Close to the train station (and buses), big Asda superstore, town centre, park and the beach. I have stayed so far in 2 different apartments in the same building on 2 separate occasions. Both, lovely decorated, with everything one may need for a short or longer stay. A kind of apartment you just want to stay in the whole day! I would definitely recommend.
