Long term lets in Hamworthy are furnished homes let for 28 nights or more, with bills included and no fixed term, to people who need to live on the peninsula for the length of a job, a posting or a move. They sit alongside our long term lets service across the area, and the peninsula is described on our Hamworthy area page.
Where the stays are
The Flexiestays group lets 130 properties, but they are in central Bournemouth and on the West Cliff, in BH2. Anyone who can work from Bournemouth can see them on property to rent in Bournemouth. In Hamworthy, the homes are owned by local landlords and listed through the Flexiestays platform, which is Bournemouth's number one for winter and long stays.
Who needs a furnished Hamworthy home
- Boatyard crews. Engineers, electricians and fitters on yacht builds and refits at Sunseeker's New Quay Road yard and the harbour's other yards.
- Port contractors. Freight and marine engineering work along the eastern shore.
- Service families and staff. People joining or visiting Royal Marines Poole while quarters or a purchase are arranged.
- Hospital staff. Clinicians on placements at Poole Hospital, a short drive over the bridges.
- Households between homes. Local sellers whose purchase has not completed, and families placed by an insurer while their house is repaired.
How a landlord's home is let this way
A Hamworthy owner with a furnished house or flat lists it through Flexiestays at a monthly price that includes the bills. Companies booking for a crew and individuals both search there, and Flexiestays charges only 8% on the bookings it brings to managed properties. Each stay is vetted, an inventory is taken at both ends, and the property is inspected during the stay.
The house needs to work for someone living in it: a bed each for a crew, parking for vans, a washing machine and somewhere to dry work clothes, fast Wi-Fi and a kitchen for daily cooking. Our guide to furnishing a let lists what to provide.
A stay is not a tenancy
A serviced let to someone whose main home is elsewhere sits outside the assured tenancy rules. A guest who makes the property their only home may be a tenant whatever the booking is called, so we use the right agreement for each stay. Our guide to long stays against tenancies explains the difference; it is not legal advice.

Hamworthy is the harbour peninsula west of Poole's two lifting bridges: family houses around Hamworthy Park, newer waterside flats by the Twin Sails Bridge, and the port on its eastern shore. Tenants and buyers come for work at the port, the boatyards and the Royal Marines base as much as for the water, so demand runs through the year.
Hamworthy's demand for furnished stays of a month or more comes from its own shoreline. Sunseeker builds and refits yachts at its yard on New Quay Road, the Port of Poole runs along the eastern side of the peninsula, and Royal Marines Poole is on Napier Road. Engineers, fitters, surveyors and service families arrive for a project or a posting and need somewhere furnished with parking, without signing a tenancy.
Further out, Poole Hospital staff on placements, people relocating to Poole while they look for a home, and families between a sale and a purchase look across the bridges as well.
A three-bedroom house with a drive suits a crew who each want a room and park a van. A flat near the Twin Sails Bridge suits a single engineer or a visiting clinician who wants to walk to the station. Flexiestays' own 130 apartments are in central Bournemouth and on the West Cliff, not in Hamworthy, so stays here are in homes owned by landlords and let through the Flexiestays platform.
Who rents and buys in Hamworthy
- The port and the boatyards. Engineers, fitters and freight contractors at the Port of Poole and the yacht yards need somewhere to live for the length of a job, from a month to a year, and want parking for a van.
- Royal Marines Poole. The base on Napier Road brings service families, staff on postings and contractors who rent while they wait for quarters or a purchase.
- Value against the rest of Poole. First-time buyers and families who are priced out of Parkstone and Canford Cliffs buy and rent here for a garden, a drive and the Quay over the bridge.
- The waterside flats. Single professionals and couples rent and buy the newer apartments near the Twin Sails Bridge for the walk to Poole station, the Quay and the town centre.

Long term lets in Hamworthy: questions
Can I rent a furnished home in Hamworthy by the month?
Yes, where a landlord has made one available through the Flexiestays platform. Stays start at 28 nights, are furnished and include bills. If nothing suits in Hamworthy, the group's apartments in central Bournemouth and on the West Cliff are available on the same basis.
Who books long stays in Hamworthy?
Mostly people working on the peninsula: contractors at Sunseeker and the port, staff and families connected with Royal Marines Poole, and engineers on marine projects. Hospital staff, relocating households and families between homes add to them through the year.
Is a long stay the same as a tenancy?
No. A stay through Flexiestays is a furnished serviced let of 28 nights or more with bills included and no fixed term, for someone whose main home is elsewhere. If a guest makes the property their only home, the law may treat it differently, so we use the right agreement for each stay. This is not legal advice.
I own a house in Hamworthy. Can it be let this way?
Yes, if it is furnished, has parking and is in good order. Flexiestays lists it to companies and individuals looking for monthly stays and charges only 8% on the bookings it brings to managed properties. We compare the likely income with a standard tenancy before you decide.
What is included in a long stay?
On the Flexiestays platform, a long stay is fully furnished with bed linen, towels and a working kitchen, and the monthly price includes electricity, gas, water, Wi-Fi and council tax. Exactly what is included in a landlord's home is listed with each property.

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.
