Lovely house for a beach break

Great beach house, loads of space for our family of 5. We really loved the three bathrooms after a morning at the beach (only a short walk away). The afternoon breeze on the deck was also a highlight.

This is an awesome place to stay with a great set up for self catering. Lots to do around in the local area and it backs directly onto state forest. The owners are really good to communicate with and very helpful and responsive. We really loved our stay there.

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.
