About this house rental
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.

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.

Over all it was a lovely experience. Location was great. My only negative was that I think the pots and pans could be updated. The fry pans came out of the cupboard greasy.

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.

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.

Very happy with the house,it was in a great location. Close to the beach and shops. We parked the car and didn’t need it for the 3 days we stayed. Wish we could have stayed longer. Would definitely stay again.

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.

Property was great. Well prepared and presented all as offered.
My only comment is on garbage bins as both were very full when we arrived.
We will be back! Terrific stay.

This is our 2nd time at Fingal bay beach house over the New Year period and it was amazing with both our elderly mothers who occupied the studio and my husband and I occupied the main house, we spent majority of our mornings and afternoons either out in the breezeway or on the front deck watching the beautiful waves roll in. This has to be one of the best holiday rentals we have stayed in at Port Stephens for functionality and position, close to the water for that amazing beach walk, places to eat, grab a cold afternoon beverage or just a quick drive into shoal bay for some of the most beautiful Greek food at Atmos with a sneaky gelato at the jetty gelato. Highly recommend booking this place won’t disappoint. I have given a 3 star for cleanliness due to our arrival of having to clean under the dinning table/lounge with food still visible and clean the toilet from previous tenants that had been missed by cleaners but it was the only downfall of our holiday.

House location is great. But cleaning was bad. House was very dusty. I have even found spider webs behind the sofa and under the bed. Floor wasn’t clean so wanted to vacuum it but the vacuum cleaner wasn’t working. There weren’t proper cleaning tools like broom and tray. And the company deducted 100$ from my bond money. Why is that? We cleaned place best as we can. There wasn’t any cleaning materials like cloths and chemicals. But we cleaned kitchen and barbecue area well. There is no way to clean floor. Vacuum is not working. And we were guests not cleaners. Booking fee should be included cleaning fee too.

It has a good BBQ and outdoor space to enjoy. The property Managers were very helpful and actioned any requests smoothly and promptly.

We absolutely loved the Fingal Bay Beach House. The location, the size, the outdoor kitchen. All of it was so perfect for our holiday. Both houses could use a big Spring Clean, but it was fine when we were there & I would still rate cleanliness a 4 out of 5.Beds were so comfortable, great shower pressure, loved the outdoor kitchen with the bbq. The doors opening to the verandah were my favourite. Can't wait to stay there again.

A great beach house, in a fantastic location. 50m to the beach and 50m to great coffee in the other direction, plus supermarket. House was clean and well set up, with two separate living areas and a fantastic outdoor area. Great for families and our little toy cavoodle loved her stay also. Fingal Bay is stunning and the walk to Barry's Park which has a great lookout for the sunrise is a relaxed 10min stroll. Would highly recommend this beachhouse.

We’ve stayed at this property 3 summers in a row. The house is great. This year the management was taken over by stay port Stephens. The house condition was worse than previous with no working oven, no working lightbulbs in two of the 3 bedrooms and cockroaches in the kitchen cabinetry. But these were not major concerns to us. Biggest grievance was they deducted money from our bond for apparently extra cleaning required. Complaints were bits of sand (in a beach house), footprints on tiles, spots of food splatter on stove. They say we have to leave it in the same unused conditon we found it, but provide no cleaning products. I searched but found, no vaccuum, no broom, not even a dustpan. This makes their requirements unreasonable for travellers in my opinion. We complied with all the requirements we were able to. Bins out/all dishes cleaned/dried away/BBQ cleaned. Really disappointed to have such a sour taste left after our holiday.

We loved the location, so close to the beach. It was a great layout too, as it meant we could stay with my parents but still all get some privacy. I was surprised that the house didn't come with any welcome pack, or a short manual on how things worked. But it wasn't essential.We had a few small issues, such as the sink blocking, TV channels not working and 3 light bulbs in the main bedroom not working, but the property management company fixed all of the items we mentioned straight away.The outdoor kitchen was also great, but it would have been nice if it had included a few extra items, especially a rubbish bin.

would def recommend this property! the two seperate cottages are fantastic if u want to seperate the sleeping arrangements with family or friends. the proximity to the beach is also excellent! fingal beach is such a great beach for little kids we had a ball and the weather was unfortunately terrible but we still made the most of it. will def book again! the only thing that needed replacing is the second cottage shower head, and the outdoor kitchen needed airing it smelt of bbq grease - but neither of these really bothered us.
