If it has to be a house near Christchurch Harbour, send us your dates, the number of people and any pets, and we will tell you what is available in Stanpit and the villages around it.
If you own a furnished house here
A house near the marsh and the harbour suits long stays for practical reasons. It has parking, which contractors and hospital staff need. It has a garden and room to work. It is a mile from the station and close to the A35, so the commute to Hurn or Castle Lane East is short. And it is quiet, which matters to people working shifts and sleeping in the day after a night on a ward or an airfield.
The platform lists the house, checks each guest, takes payment and arranges the clean and the linen between stays. The guest pays one price for rent and bills. You decide which months are available. Flexiestays charges 8% on the bookings it brings to a managed property, and management of the stay is quoted after we see the house.
What makes a house ready
Furniture that meets fire safety rules, a kitchen for daily cooking, a washing machine, good broadband, a table to work at, and the same gas, electrical, alarm and EPC checks as a tenancy. For insurer placements, a house that sleeps a family and accepts a pet is often the deciding factor, because the household is moving its whole life in for the duration of the repair and needs to be ready within days. Our guide to corporate lets and relocation explains what working guests expect.

Stanpit is a residential village on the north shore of Christchurch Harbour, about a mile east of Christchurch town centre between Purewell and Mudeford. Its bungalows and family houses rent to families and couples who want the harbour and the marsh close by, and sell for less than homes at Mudeford Quay.
The Flexiestays group's 130 properties are in central Bournemouth and on the West Cliff, in BH2. Stanpit has none of them, but it has something long-stay guests often want more: a furnished house with a garden and a drive, a mile from Christchurch station, close to the A35 and with the harbour and Stanpit Marsh outside.
Demand for a month or more comes from several directions. Contractors at Bournemouth Airport and the Aviation Park at Hurn drive in along the A35. Staff at the Royal Bournemouth Hospital on Castle Lane East need somewhere for a placement. Retired couples sell elsewhere and rent while they find a bungalow in Christchurch. People relocating for work want a few months to learn the area. And households placed by an insurer, while their own home is repaired after a flood or a fire, need a whole house quickly, close to schools and work.
These are serviced lets: furnished, bills included, no fixed term, for people whose main home is elsewhere. A guest who settles for many months could be a tenant in law, so the agreement has to fit the stay.
Who rents and buys in Stanpit
- Families priced out of Mudeford. Stanpit gives families the harbour, the beach and Mudeford Quay within about a mile, at lower prices and rents than homes on the Quay itself. That makes it a first choice for people who want the area without the premium.
- Sailors and harbour users. Christchurch Harbour has three sailing clubs, including Mudeford Sailing Club on the north shore. Members and paddleboarders rent and buy close to the water, and value a garage or a drive for a dinghy.
- Retirees and downsizers. Bungalows on level ground, a mile from the town centre and close to the marsh walks, suit people retiring to Christchurch. They buy, and they rent while a sale elsewhere completes.
- People working in Christchurch and at Hurn. The village is close to the A35, the town centre and the station. Hospital staff, airport contractors and people relocating for work rent here for the short drive and the quiet.

Long term lets in Stanpit: questions
Can I book a long stay in Stanpit?
Sometimes. In Stanpit we let landlords' furnished houses through the Flexiestays platform when one is available. The group's 130 apartments are in central Bournemouth and on the West Cliff, all from 28 nights with bills included, and can be booked now.
Who stays in a Stanpit house for a month or more?
Airport and Aviation Park contractors, hospital staff on placements, people relocating to Christchurch, couples between a sale and a purchase, and families placed by an insurer while their home is repaired. Most want parking, a garden and a quiet place to work.
Why let my Stanpit house for long stays rather than to a tenant?
It keeps the house furnished and in your control: you choose the months, can take it back for your own use, and the guests are working people on fixed dates. A tenancy gives steadier income with less turnover. We compare the two for your house after a visit.
What does a long stay include for the guest?
A fully furnished house with linen, towels, an equipped kitchen, a washing machine and Wi-Fi, and the bills in one price: electricity, gas, water, broadband and council tax. Cleaning is arranged between stays and on request.
Do insurers really place families in furnished houses?
Yes. When a home is damaged by flood, fire or escape of water, the household's insurer often pays for alternative accommodation for weeks or months. They need a whole house near schools and work, which a Stanpit family house can provide.

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.
