The house was very clean, the kitchen adequately stocked, the yard was pet secure, the layout of the house is great for a family (unless the children are very young), the proximity to the beach is fantastic, at times there was quite a bit of traffic noise because the house is located on a main access road to the beach. All in all we would stay there again.

Excellent quantity of glasses. I think some additional spare toilet paper considering 6 adults for 5 days could have been provided. Minor point though. Location and facilities were excellent and all of us thoroughly enjoyed the location and proximity of the beach.

We appreciate your feedback and are very pleased to hear you and your group thoroughly enjoyed your stay. We hope to welcome you back again in the future. Stay Port Stephens Team

Pet friendly and great location. Lower house smelt like mould although none visible. Some of the dishes in the cupboard were dirty with lip stick marks on glasses. Ants were a big problem throughout getting into any packaged food items left on the bench. Construction workers were constantly entering the property during our stay while working on the neighbouring property.

Absolutely amazing location. Main house was really beautiful with a stunning balcony looking out to the ocean. The listing was not clear enough around the layout of the two houses. We stayed with young kids and it was challenging. A photo of the property layout and a clear depiction of how separate they are would have been helpful. The second house with the two bedrooms had a very damp smell that we could not get rid of with open windows and fans on.

Hi Emma, Thank you for taking the time to review the property. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. Sorry to hear the layout was not described properly, we will look into this to see how we can be a little more accurate. And we will have the second cottage looked at in regards to the damp smell. The home is in a great location, its great to be so close to the beach and the shops at Fingal Bay. Stay Port Stephens Team

My husband and I had a wonderful stay here with our adult daughter. Fantastic layout if the premises was better than any where else we had stayed. Well stocked kitchen and outdoor kitchen was a great touch. Very comfortable beds and view to the beach was a wonderful bonus. Highly recommend this property and will look forward to a return visit. Thank you to our hosts for living up to all advertised expectations.

Fingal Bay Beach House

* 1BR House, 2BR Cabin, outdoor kitchen and eating area were exactly as advertised;* Bedrooms, bathrooms, linen were all clean and comfortable;* Kitchen cupboards and drawers - hard to stay on top of in this area, evidence of the small bush cockroaches "visiting", easily dealt with by dumping everything we needed into dishwasher;* Perfect location with 50 metre walk to beach, and 50 metre walk to local cafe, small shops;* We would definitely stay again.
