Fingal Bay Beach House - Water Views and Seconds From the Beach

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.

* 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.

Great location and proximity to beach. Loved the property layout for two families with the additional outdoor kitchen which was such a hit with our family. Unfortunately the premises had some serious concerns. Cleaning was a horror story which we observed on day one when my daughter’s dust allergy immediately kicked into overdrive. I have never experienced a situation quite like it. Beneath the beds was a thick layer of dust (not exaggerating) which points to the cleaning team and lack of inspection by the management team. I must acknowledge the responsiveness of the office who assisted with getting in first one cleaner who did half a job and then another cleaner who did a great job. The shower in the studio had a leak which flooded the floor and in the end we couldn’t use it. Once they get the cleaning and some repairs done the premises will offer a lovely stay. The office offered a late checkout as a result of the cleaning issues which we were unable to take advantage of due to prior arrangements.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

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.

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.

We had two nights ot the property, great location.But Gas cylinder was empty: unable to cook breakfast on the one full day at property.Remote control batteries for TV flat: needed to be replacedIssues on Sunday and took some time to be remedied

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 :-)

Overall we enjoyed our stay there were a few things to be critical of the Bbq was missing a knob we had some food around the bbq area that was eaten buy rats or mice overnight

We loved this well equipped clean property. Had difficulty accessing Lockbox for key but fortunately Margaret and Shane @ Stay Port Stephens were both available and very helpful.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: 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.

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.

Check in was seamless. Kitchen could use salt and pepper together with glad wrap. Unfortunately there were ants in the property, particularly the kitchen. Black mould found in the second bathroom prompted us to depart early. There was also a broken toilet seat in the studio. The lounge in the main house needs replacing as you sink very deeply when you sit on it…not comfortable at all. Overall we were disappointed.

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.

Terrific property for our family with two teen boys 14 and 16.

We stayed for my mums 60th birthdayUnfortunately on the first night after purchasing 270 worth of food, we discovered that both the oven and bbq weren’t in working order. I tried to contact the host. However there was no response. The next morning I called the port Steven’s office and was told a man named Aaron which I assume is a maintenance worker was coming to have a look. However he never came. Due to poor weather, our small children and the fact that the fridge was full of food we were unable to go out for meals which made things particularly difficult. Great location. House is run down, dusty and poorly maintained and poorly managed.
