A great spot to stay with a outside dog traveling with us.

Really loved this place. Location was great. Comfortable and relaxing vibe with a beach house feel. Lots of steps to keep you fit.😂😂. Listening to the waves crashing as you fall asleep pretty awesome. A happy couple with a water loving Lab say thank you and we hope to return next year.😎🌴🐶.

Excellent Property

Three generations of our family and the precious puppy spent the weekend in this beautifully maintained, comfortable, well stocked and securely fenced Fingal Bay house. It was a short walk to the beach, playground and cafe. Plus an easy drive to Shoal Bay, Nelson Bay and the rest of Port Stephens. Great communication with owner.

Good location spacious house for a large family

The Beach House is suited to a large family group. It’s well equipped and the deck and BBQ area is nice. However, the house is tired and in the midst of some overdue maintenance . The access is not for the faint hearted and if you have any mobility issues don’t think about it !The owner was very nice to deal with but overall I wouldn’t go back to that particular house for next Fingal Bay Holiday.
