Renting in Stanpit
Most homes to rent are houses and bungalows: two and three bedrooms, a garden, a drive. Families take them for the schools in Mudeford and Christchurch and for Avon Beach a short trip away; couples and retirees take the bungalows for level living and the walks round the marsh. A few small flats come up too. Before you commit, check the flood risk for the address and whether a dog is allowed.

Outstanding from start to finish
The apartment exceeded our expectations with its modern design and thoughtful touches throughout. Walking distance to both the seafront and shopping areas made it incredibly convenient. Clear instructions, responsive host. Would absolutely stay here again on our next visit to Bournemouth.
Modern, clean and superbly located
Lovely apartment in very close proximity to Bournemouth town centre and beach. Modern, very clean and well equipped. Onsite parking was a big plus, making it easy to explore the area. The host was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay.
Second stay, and we'll be back
Great apartment at a perfect location. Jack and the team were so easy to deal with. This is our second time at this apartment block and we'll definitely be returning. Clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Estate agents in Stanpit: questions
Is Stanpit a good place to rent?
For a family or a couple who want a house near the water without paying Mudeford Quay prices, yes. Stanpit is mainly bungalows and family houses with gardens, about a mile from Christchurch town centre and the station, with Stanpit Marsh at the end of the road and Avon Beach a short trip east.
Is Stanpit at risk of flooding?
Some of Stanpit is low-lying ground on the edge of Christchurch Harbour, so flood risk varies from street to street. Check the address on the Environment Agency's flood risk service before you rent or buy, and ask about insurance. We raise it at every valuation here.
Which council covers Stanpit?
BCP Council. It sets council tax, including the 100% premium on furnished second homes at the time of writing, and runs planning, HMO licensing and parking. Stanpit is in the Mudeford, Stanpit and West Highcliffe ward, and the marsh is a Local Nature Reserve managed with the council.
Can I walk my dog on Stanpit Marsh?
Yes, on a lead within the reserve, at the time of writing. Dogs can run free on Stanpit Recreation Ground next to the car park. Rules on nearby beaches change through the year, so check BCP Council's current dog rules before you move in with a dog.
How far is Stanpit from Christchurch station?
About a mile, a short drive, bus ride or walk west through Purewell. Trains from Christchurch run to London Waterloo, Southampton, Bournemouth and Weymouth. Check the current timetable for journey times.
