Welcome to Ovgar Port, a wonderfully spacious semi-detached holiday retreat tucked away in a quiet, secluded grove of pine trees right on the Sandbanks Peninsula. Built over a century ago, this historic cottage was recently divided into two beautifully appointed homes (Port and Starboard) and has been lovingly modernised by the current owners to offer a fresh, bright interior full of true coastal charm.
Designed to comfortably accommodate up to six guests, Ovgar Port is the perfect base for families or groups looking to experience the very best of Dorset. The sleeping arrangements are generous and flexible, featuring a large super king-size bedroom and two spacious twin rooms.
Step outside, and you will find yourself just a short walk from the world-famous Sandbanks Blue Flag beach, known for its pristine golden sands and safe, shallow swimming waters. You are also wonderfully close to local amenities, with renowned restaurants like Rick Stein, The Tandy, and relaxed beachside cafes sitting right on your doorstep. For larger family gatherings of up to 12 people, Ovgar Port can even be booked alongside its sister property, Starboard!
The property has been lovingly updated to offer a bright, airy, and welcoming interior. The sleeping accommodation consists of three generously sized bedrooms:
Bedroom 1: A large master bedroom featuring a luxurious Super King bed (this can be split into two singles upon request prior to your stay).
Bedroom 2: A comfortable and spacious twin bedroom.
Bedroom 3: A second spacious twin bedroom, perfect for children or additional guests.
All premium linen and towels are included for your stay.
Ovgar Port benefits from a lovely private outdoor space surrounded by established Sandbanks pine trees. Guests have full use of a private patio and garden area, which comes completely furnished with an outdoor table, chairs, and a picnic bench—the perfect spot for alfresco dining or a morning coffee in the sea breeze.
The property boasts incredibly generous off-road parking, with space for up to 5 cars on the private driveway—a rare and valuable feature on the Sandbanks peninsula!

From the cottage, you are just a short walk away from the beach, where you can enjoy scenic coastal dog walks, safe swimming, and beachfront volleyball. On the opposite side of the peninsula lies Poole Harbour, a world-class playground for watersports enthusiasts offering paddleboarding, kayaking, and kite surfing.
When you want to explore further, the Sandbanks chain ferry is just moments away, providing easy access to the unspoiled heathland of Studland and the dramatic Jurassic Coast. You can also take a scenic boat trip to the National Trust’s Brownsea Island, famous for its roaming peacocks and rare red squirrels.
Located in Sandbanks, Dorset, Ovgar Port is an ideal retreat for your next coastal getaway. Offering a perfect blend of comfort and convenience, this exceptional seaside Holiday Home provides a fantastic base for relaxing, unwinding, and exploring the beautiful nearby beaches and surrounding coastline.
