“This Southbourne address offers a particularly serene escape; I appreciate its quiet residential setting. The vibe is relaxed, and the small touches, like fresh, pre-ordered breakfasts, definitely stand out. Close to the beach and local shops, it's a well-placed base for exploring, with a personal touch.”
