About this property

Bella Vista, Unit 20/19 Shoal Bay Road - 2-bedroom unit with water and national park views

This cosy 3rd floor unit is located across the road from the beautiful Shoal Bay Beach. With its crystal clear waters, white sands and relaxed coastal vibe, Shoal Bay is an idyllic holiday destination for anyone looking for beauty, serenity or adventure – it is undoubtedly one of the prettiest coastal towns in Australia and has so much to offer. The beach boasts great swimming and you can hire kayaks and stand up paddle boards (open everyday during the high seasons of school holidays, long weekends and Easter), and just a 150m stroll along the foreshore brings you to a delicious array of places to eat and drink, plus a selection of shops. At the eastern end of the bay, 600m from your apartment, is magnificent Tomaree National Park which offers spectacular views of the stunning Port Stephens coastline from its summit. There are also plenty of walking and bike tracks on offer, and just a 5-minute drive will take you to Nelson Bay.

This neat and tidy unit captures elevated views out over the bay and the Tomaree headland - relax on the balcony in the fresh ocean air and soak up the beauty while sipping a glass of wine. The outdoor space flows indoors to the comfortable open plan area, with lounge and TV/DVD player, a dining table and chairs and a well equipped, compact kitchen with an oven, cook top, fridge/freezer and microwave.

The well appointed master bedroom has a queen bed, wardrobe, pedestal fan and a 2nd TV, as well as water views. The 2nd bedroom offers a set of bunk beds and a single bed, and the bathroom has a shower and toilet. Guests also have access to a communal coin-operated laundry, shared with others in the complex, as well as one undercover parking space.

Important Notes:
- Linen packs are provided at this property. If you would like beds made, please contact our office.

Bad experience unfortunately

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cleanliness standard was a 0. The place was disgusting. Dirt on walls and doors, hair on the bed, blood stains on the pillow cases, makeup & Blood stains on the towels. Dirt Build up and dust everywhere. What a horrible experience. I will say though, they were accommodating with ordering new linen and towels for us, however, they were also unclean! I wouldn't book with this holiday rental company as they weren't very accommodating when we first arrived. they told us we couldnt have the keys before 2pm as the cleaners weren't done yet. I now know that was a lie since there was no way a cleaner was in there that day! and if they were, i'm not sure exactly what they were cleaning. This is unfortunate because the view is amazing!

Beautiful spot

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a fabulous stay here. The view and location is perfect and the unit was equipped with everything we needed. Being on the top floor made the stairs a challenge lugging all our luggage up, but definitely kept us fit . The carpark is way too small for most cars, but other than that I would recommend it and definitely go back. Cheers

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall the stay was good. Location was very good, but the 4 flights of steps were not advised to us, which I found less than helpful. 2nd bedroom floor had not been vacuumed for weeks. The parking space for Lot 20 was very tight getting in and out as well.

Good apartment, great location but too dirty

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was good location, the apartment in good but it was dirty and the fridge /freezer wasn’t working. We were forced to buy ice to keep our food and drinks fresh in the cooler we took for our holiday.

Great family escape

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I loved the location (views and proximity to the beach and shops) and the lack of Wifi and the time I got to enjoy with my kids. The unit was great and so convenient. 4 floors up and wifi-free, it is clearly not the location for everyone. The parking spot was also impossible for our family station wagon and necessitated street parking. We still loved it and I loved the price.
