Who needs a large furnished house
- Relocating families. Moving to Poole for senior roles at the hospital, the RNLI, Sunseeker, the port or the employers around Upton and Creekmoor, and renting furnished while they learn the schools.
- Families rebuilding or refurbishing. Penn Hill's large plots mean many owners extend or rebuild, and they want to stay close by while the work is done.
- Insurance placements. Households out of their homes after a flood, fire or leak, placed by an insurer for weeks or months.
- Families between homes. Sellers whose purchase has not completed.
How a Penn Hill house is let this way
A landlord lists a furnished house through Flexiestays at a monthly price with bills included. Relocation agents, insurers' placement agents and families 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, the house is inspected during the stay and the garden looked after.
A family living in the house needs cleared wardrobes, a big fridge freezer, beds made up for everyone, a workspace, heating that copes with a large house and a note on bins and the nearest schools and surgeries. Our guide to furnishing a let has the full list.
A stay is not a tenancy
A family whose own home is being repaired keeps that home as their main residence, which is why insurance placements usually sit outside the assured tenancy rules. A family with no other home may become tenants 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.

Penn Hill is a residential ward between Parkstone and Canford Cliffs, with a small village of cafes, restaurants and shops on Penn Hill Avenue at its centre. Its roads of detached family houses run down towards Branksome Chine, Canford Cliffs and Sandbanks, so it sells to families who want a large house near the beaches, and lets to families relocating to Poole.
Penn Hill's furnished monthly stays come from families who need a lot of space for a while. People relocating to Poole for senior roles at the hospital, the RNLI, Sunseeker and the port, or the larger employers around Upton and Creekmoor, want a house near good schools and the beaches while they learn the area. Local families whose own house is being rebuilt or refurbished, a common story in a ward of large plots, want to stay near the schools and the village. Households placed by an insurer after a flood, fire or leak need four bedrooms and a garden, not a hotel.
The houses that suit them have four or more bedrooms, a big kitchen, a garden, parking for two cars and a workspace, within a walk of the Penn Hill Avenue parade.
The Flexiestays group's 130 properties are in central Bournemouth and on the West Cliff, and suit single guests and couples. A family-sized stay in Penn Hill is in a landlord's house let through the Flexiestays platform.
Who rents and buys in Penn Hill
- Families trading up. Families from Parkstone and Bournemouth move here for a large detached house close to the beaches without a Sandbanks price.
- Relocating families. Households moving to Poole for work rent a large house for a year while they settle children in school and learn the area before buying.
- Second-home and London buyers. Buyers looking at Canford Cliffs and Sandbanks widen their search to Penn Hill for more house and garden for the money.
- Plots and redevelopment. Larger plots attract buyers who plan to extend or rebuild, so plot size and planning history can matter as much as the house.

Long term lets in Penn Hill: questions
Can I rent a furnished family house in Penn Hill for a few months?
Yes, where a landlord has listed one through the Flexiestays platform. Stays start at 28 nights, the house is furnished, bills are included and there is no fixed term.
Who books long stays in large Penn Hill houses?
Relocating families learning the area before buying, local families whose home is being rebuilt or refurbished, households placed by an insurer, and families between a sale and a purchase. All need several bedrooms, a garden and parking.
Do insurers book furnished houses in Penn Hill?
Insurers' placement agents look for furnished houses near a family's own home when it is being repaired. A large Penn Hill house can suit them. Placements are usually agreed at a set rate, which we quote case by case.
I own a large house in Penn Hill. Can it be let this way?
Yes, if it is furnished and in good order. Flexiestays charges only 8% on the bookings it brings to managed properties. We compare the income with a standard tenancy before you decide, because large houses also let well on tenancies.
Is a family on a long stay a tenant?
It depends on the facts. A family whose own home is being repaired keeps that home as their main residence. A family with nowhere else to live may become tenants whatever the booking says, so we use the right agreement for each stay. 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.
