About this house rental
The Location - The perfect holiday location! Oscar's beach house is positioned less than 200m back from the beautiful Shoal Bay Beach and adjacent to the Country Club. Shoal Bay is one of the most picturesque coastal towns Australia has to offer. Right on your door step you are greeted to a selection of eateries, bars and shops along the waterfront. The majestic Shoal Bay Beach curves 2.5km from Nelson Head to Tomaree Head. The calm clear bay waters are perfect for swimming, kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding (available for hire everyday during the high seasons of school holidays, long weekends and Easter) and picnic tables and barbecue facilities are on the beach side reserve. Also less than one kilometre away you will find the magnificent Tomaree National Park with spectacular views from the summit of Tomaree Mountain. Just a 5 minute drive in the opposite direction brings you to the township of Nelson Bay.
The House - This pet friendly cottage is full of character and offers a unique combination of old world charm with modern sophistication. The main lounge room area features floor boards, split system air conditioning, a large plasma screen TV, DVD player and ceiling fans.

5.0 / 5.0
The house is just a short stroll from the Country Club, shops and restaurants, which are across the road from the beautiful bay.
Two showers and toilets are very convenient and there is plenty of hot water.
The tidy little back yard is fenced and perfect for dogs.
We were only there for two nights but everyone enjoyed their stay.

Great location…. But very disappointing house
Booking a lower cost, pet friendly beach house we expected the property to be a bit old and ok if it is a bit shabby in places. But the house was really not clean. Quilt covers were provided for some beds, not all. Quilt covers that were provided were dirty. Shelves and horizontal surfaces were dusty. Under beds and behind doors didn’t look like they had ever been cleaned… really dusty. When we checked in there were dog smooshes on glass doors and used tea towels left on benches. Then it rained and the roof leaked. We were assured by the property manager that the roof was scheduled to be fixed next month…. The roof actually had a tarp strapped to it! Location is awesome, and the house has so much potential with some care and attention it could be great….. but unfortunately for our stay it was a real disappointment.
1.0 / 5.0
The home was terrible, unclean, and not as described
I called the property manager ‘Winning Holidays’ the day before our arrival to specifically request that the property was cleaned... (as there were previous bad reviews stating that the home was not clean) and yet when we arrived the place had NOT at all been cleaned. Bins full, Toilet paper on floor, Dog hair, Dirty floors and footprints, Dirty benches, Hair all throughout bathroom and showers, Dirty dishes in sink, Dishwasher full. It seemed like previous guests had left and we arrived with no cleaning completed in between. Disgusting and a disappointing start to our holiday. The property managers were not very apologetic after I alerted them of this and put the blame back to the owners?? Would NOT recommend.

Goddard Stay
We are in process of lodging dispute with Fair Trading as we picked a pet friendly place fully fenced.which it wasn’t and the managing agency have been less than helpful- the house was dirty, I washed doona covers, found everything from women’s sanitary products to Pringles packages under beds, had to purchase extra blankets and put rowels down before even placing bags down. Agency could not have cared less and have not even bothered replying to any of my emails. This is very sad and as this is the first time in all my many many years of travel I have felt the need to express the issues of this property I feel so very let down. Would like a response to this email
Thank you

Reviewer Comments:
Generally when renting pet friendly accommodation we lower our expectations on the property. So in this case I was happy to look beyond all the mould on the ceilings however I was dumbfounded to find that the property was not fenced (even though we were told it was). As a result we couldn’t do some of the full day activities booked as we couldn’t leave the dog inside for a full day. I think it is reasonable to expect any property with pet friendly in the name would have appropriate fencing and when I say appropriate I mean any boundary fencing at all!

Great location
The property was in a great location and very close to the beach, restaurants and shops.The reason I have given the property a 3 star rating was due to the fact the lawn had not been mowed. The gardener lives next door and asked if it would be possible to do the lawns during our stay which was fine .I just felt that the lawns should have been done before our arrival.Not only did he do the lawns but spent the afternoon trimming the front bushes.It was very noicey when you are trying to relax.In saying this though great home and location.

Perfect spot to stay! very central, close to beach and SBCC. The house was great and perfect for a group of friends spending a weekend away. However, a little unclean in areas particularly the floor and a few repairs are needed to general structure of the house. We also needed to ring up to get the linen package sent that was suppose to already be there on arrival but the staff were very friendly and apologetic. Other than that stuff we had a wonderful time! Perfect kitchen being fully equipped.

Location, Location... Shoal Bay is the Airlie Beach of NSW!
As far as bang for bucks go, this property has a lot to offer. It's large, pet friendly and is situated 3 minutes walk to the small township and the huge beach in the bay.
There is so much to do in the area and it's all in very close proximity, even though you would think that you're isolated at the end of the line, so to speak.
The property itself is an older house that has well and truly been used, but is homely with a huge kitchen and lovely bathroom.
Our stay was over a very hot weekend and unfortunately for us the hot water service decided to give out leaving us having cold showers, but on the plus side, the air conditioner worked well and with the added ceiling fans, made our stay comfortable.
3.0 / 5.0
Unsatisfied.
As our time in shoal bay was enjoyable and nothing but amazing, our accommodation was defiantly not a highlight of the trip.
We first arrive to our accommodation and was greateed by a trail of ants across the kitchen bench. You could tell where they only vacuumed as there was dust and fluff collected in places that wasn’t cleaned properly and was easy access for cleaning aplliences to reach.
The beds were horrible. Basically a foam mattress on all beds! The sofa bed when you pulled it out you were quick to put it back with the amount of collected rubish/dust/fluff behind it.
The house smelt as if it had been damp and no windows opened to air it out, paint was peeling and blinds had mould on them and majority of them not funcational. They had new blinds sitting in the kitchen (looks like they had been there for a while with the amount of dust on them).
We were left with the linen to make our own beds, and washing machine isn’t very functional, turns on by that’s about as far as we could get it.
We loved the house but there is a lot of improvements that could be made to make it more enjoyable for future tendents
4.0 / 5.0
Comfortable House - great location
Spacious clean home in great location. The whole fam loved it.
