About this property

Fingal Bay Beach House - water views and seconds from the beach

Fingal Bay Beach House is located only 50m from family favourite Fingal Bay Beach and the boat ramp. With tempting views of the beach from the front veranda, its super versatile floor plan makes it ideal for large families, intragenerational families or two families to share for a good old fashioned beach holiday. The home is also only 10 mins drive to Nelson Bay.

Fingal Bay Beach House is located at the southern end of the beach, affectionately referred to as Kiddie’s Corner. This protected stretch of the beach is perfect for children as it’s sheltered from big waves and typically has the type of small rolling waves that kids can spend hours enjoying. Waves just right for learning to surf or bodyboard, standup paddle boarding, kayaking and snorkelling. The beach is often patrolled by Surf Life Savers who set up flags indicating the best place to swim. There’s an amenities block, and BBQs and picnic tables are scattered along the grassy reserve adjacent to the beach. Bring the kids’ bikes and scooters or simply wander north along the pathway, that runs parallel with the beach, in only a few hundred meters you’ll discover a wonderful children’s playground and the Surf Life Saving Club’s cafe and restaurant. At low tide you can venture over the Fingal Spit and spend time exploring Fingal Island and see the light house.

Fingal Bay Beach House consists of two separate cottages, which are only meters apart and have an undercover deck between them.
Right Side Cottage - Sleeps 2, it consists of one bedroom with a queen bed, an open plan dining room, lounge room and fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom and a lovely sunny, north facing, wrap around veranda. There’s air con and a ceiling fan in the lounge room and a ceiling fan in the bedroom.

Left Side Cottage - Sleeps 6, it consists of two bedrooms with ceiling fans. There’s also a bathroom, laundry with washer and dryer, and lounge room, with a sofa bed (suitable for two children upon application), air con plus a ceiling fan and sliding doors which open onto a large undercover entertaining deck, complete with outdoor dining setting. Here, behind a roller door, the outdoor kitchen houses a sink, fridge and built-in BBQ. This is the perfect spot for everyone to congregate, relax and cook up holiday feasts, while the kids play on the grass. There’s also a double carport, off street parking for two and street parking.

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.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: There were Cockroaches in both bathrooms and the main bedroom. The 2 bedroom unit did not lock which meant anything of value had to be stored elsewhere. One of the hair dryers was not working. It would be helpful to provide coffee pods for the coffee machine.

Absolutely amazing!

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.

A hop, skip and a jump (to the beach)

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Loved Fingal Bay, property was well positioned just back from the beach & well priced. Loved the separate dwellings that allowed us some time away from the kids :-) The only negative was that the fry pans probably are past their use by date and need replacing (think I recall seeing that in another guest's comments before our stay). Will be back :-)

Port Stephens getaway

Fantastic location with views of the beach and close to cafe and beach walks. Great fenced yard for our dog to enjoy. Comfortable beds and couches. Bathrooms clean and modern. Kitchen had everything we needed. Unusual set up with 2 separate buildings but it wasn't a problem. Very relaxing stay.

Perfect weekend

This house suited our needs perfectly. We had family fly in from Queensland and the airport was so easy to navigate. Location for small children on a wet weekend was great. We could get to the beach and park in between showers. Great starter pack and provision of basic kitchen and bbq utensils. We will be back again.

Great location, but not well maintained

We had an enjoyable time at Fingal Bay. The property is in a fabulous location only 50m from the sand, and the booking / check-in was very smooth. Unfortunately we were not satisfied with the cleanliness and maintenance of the property (blocked overflowing gutters in the covered sitting area, BBQ could not be made to work, water leaked into the laundry area and we observed 3-4 cockroaches during our stay). Nothing some more diligent pest control and maintenance couldn't address so hope it is fixed for future guests as really is a lovely spot.

Fingal Bay Beach House

Great location and layout of the property. It was clean and tidy on our arrival, also well equipped for our holiday. It was setup (pet-friendly wise) for our travelling dog. Livingroom A/C not functioning properly. Was repaired promptly by office management. Late checkout would have been good but the late fee was over the top. We exited before 10am. We would stay there again as beach access was spot-on.
