About this property

The Location - The perfect holiday location! Oscar's beach house is positioned less than 200m back from the beautiful Shoal Bay Beach and adjacent to the Country Club. Shoal Bay is one of the most picturesque coastal towns Australia has to offer. Right on your door step you are greeted to a selection of eateries, bars and shops along the waterfront. The majestic Shoal Bay Beach curves 2.5km from Nelson Head to Tomaree Head. The calm clear bay waters are perfect for swimming, kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding (available for hire everyday during the high seasons of school holidays, long weekends and Easter) and picnic tables and barbecue facilities are on the beach side reserve. Also less than one kilometre away you will find the magnificent Tomaree National Park with spectacular views from the summit of Tomaree Mountain. Just a 5 minute drive in the opposite direction brings you to the township of Nelson Bay.

The main lounge room area features floor boards, split system air conditioning, a large plasma screen TV, DVD player and ceiling fans.

Great location.

The house is just a short stroll from the Country Club, shops and restaurants, which are across the road from the beautiful bay. Two showers and toilets are very convenient and there is plenty of hot water. The tidy little back yard is fenced and perfect for dogs. We were only there for two nights but everyone enjoyed their stay.

Great location…. But very disappointing house

Booking a lower cost, pet friendly beach house we expected the property to be a bit old and ok if it is a bit shabby in places. But the house was really not clean. Quilt covers were provided for some beds, not all. Quilt covers that were provided were dirty. Shelves and horizontal surfaces were dusty. Under beds and behind doors didn’t look like they had ever been cleaned… really dusty. When we checked in there were dog smooshes on glass doors and used tea towels left on benches. Then it rained and the roof leaked. We were assured by the property manager that the roof was scheduled to be fixed next month…. The roof actually had a tarp strapped to it! Location is awesome, and the house has so much potential with some care and attention it could be great….. but unfortunately for our stay it was a real disappointment.

The home was terrible, unclean, and not as described

I called the property manager ‘Winning Holidays’ the day before our arrival to specifically request that the property was cleaned... (as there were previous bad reviews stating that the home was not clean) and yet when we arrived the place had NOT at all been cleaned. Bins full, Toilet paper on floor, Dog hair, Dirty floors and footprints, Dirty benches, Hair all throughout bathroom and showers, Dirty dishes in sink, Dishwasher full. It seemed like previous guests had left and we arrived with no cleaning completed in between. Disgusting and a disappointing start to our holiday. The property managers were not very apologetic after I alerted them of this and put the blame back to the owners?? Would NOT recommend.
