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.

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.

Great Location

Even though it was a short trip and we only stayed a few days, we enjoyed ourselves. You can see the beach from the front deck, listen to the waves and the Birdlife. And it was lovely for us to be able to include our dog on the trip.

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.

Dog friendly verandah and outside yard

Great place 5 mins walk to Fingal Bay beach- nice verandah to relax, eat and chat on, for everyone - loved the space upstairs and downstairs on 3 levels - we enjoyed watching Foxtel. We couldn't take the dog onto Fingal Beach only alongside it, but found another beach, Bagnall's, which was beautiful and serene and for dogs off or on lead - best at low tide. We took the dog there by car.

Great stay at Fingal Bay

We travelled to Fingal Bay for an event and had a great stay at this property. It is very close to the beach and the house has lots of room. The kitchen is large and well stocked with everything you need. The bedrooms are very large, the beds comfortable and the three bathrooms are excellent (two recently refurbished). Our dog loved the secure outdoor area. There are nice views from the front balcony and bedrooms. We have booked to come back in January and are looking forward to it!

Perfect weekend

We had such a great weekend that we didn’t want to come home! Our kids are 9 & 11 and we took our cavoodle too. The house was amazing with lots of space. We mostly used the outside decking area and enjoyed walking to the beach. Would love to stay again in the future.

Review of Beach House

We had a great stay . Some helpful matters The light in the stove fan is blown and the stove exhaust system goes back into the house.The grass needs mowing front and back . There is mould on the ceiling in the main bathroom.The bbq is rusted out and had droppings on the plate ,we did not use it.The remote control on the key ring does not work I put a new battery in to no avail. Hope these comments are welcome Thanks for having us cheers Dennis and Anne Barrow

Close to the beach and large enough for 2 families, Fingal beach house lets you relax.
