About this property

serenity at Fingal Bay 2

Enjoy a well-deserved break in this impressive beachfront duplex at laidback Fingal Bay. A lift between the floors and an accessible bathroom with a roll-in shower and grip bars for the toilet make this a great option for less mobile guests.

Across the road, just steps from your front door is the southern end of Fingal Bay Beach, known to the locals as 'Kiddies Corner' as the calmer waters are ideal for small children to swim, and a boat ramp to launch your vessel. The pristine white sand beach winds along the coast, offering endless opportunities for swimming, past the popular surf beach in front of the surf lifesaving club (patrolled in season) and up to the famous Fingal Spit. The spit can be crossed at low tide (with caution, check times with surf club) to view the ruins of the outer lighthouse residence. Just 350m from your duplex you will find walking trails at Barry Park, and a lookout where you can watch humpback whales migrate north from mid-May to August and south from August to mid-November with their newborn calves. The local restaurant, cafes, grocery shop, a fantastic children's playground and great tree-lined pathways for walking and bike riding are all at your fingertips. Shoal Bay is just 3.5km away and Nelson Bay is a short 6.5km drive.

This 2-storey, contemporary duplex is perfectly positioned, overlooking the pristine coastline, with strategically designed windows drawing the beautiful views in. Boasting all modern inclusions, it has ducted air-conditioning and lovely polished floors upstairs and split systems in the downstairs bedrooms. It also features a sleek, fully equipped kitchen and an open plan living area with a large LCD TV & DVD, plus free Wifi, and the property has a Foxtel dish so you can bring your own box with you and have access to Foxtel.

The property even comes with its own lift, giving you peace of mind with elderly or disabled guests and the convenience of transporting your luggage or shopping upstairs. There are 2 balconies, one with magnificent water views and another private one overlooking trees. Both feature quality outdoor furnishings and a BBQ, and are perfect for outdoor dining with the best view in town.

The master bedroom is upstairs and has a queen bed and ensuite with a roll-in shower, as well as a single trundle bed in the robe, and the other 2 bedrooms are downstairs, one with a queen bed and the other with 2 single beds. An internal laundry with washer and dryer and double lock up garage completes this magnificent holiday property.

Important Notes:
- Linen and towels are supplied for this property and beds will be made, ready for your arrival (excludes the trundle bed).

Great location
This property was perfect for our needs as we attended a wedding in Fingal Bay. It comfortably accommodated our family, and the location was great. The view, and the closeness of the beach was a bonus. Be prepared though to take all necessities. Linen was provided, but no toiletries - not even soap or toilet paper were supplied. A weekend away where you have to take everything including dishwasher tablets, dishcloths and coffee meant trips to the supermarket were required. Be prepared. There is also a lot of stuff in the garage which meant only one of our cars would fit. Street parking was thankfully available.

Ants everywhere
Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. 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 had been deeply disappointing to have hundreds of ants placed everywhere in the property, and more so in the kitchen. It ruined our holiday.

Lovely but lacking
The property is well presented and well located and charges top dollar for those benefits. It would have been better had a few basics been included like loo paper, Internet/wifi access, mattresses that don’t leave you with a sore back in the morning and pillows that don’t collapse under your head.

Perfect location
Great space for families or groups. Located right across from Fingal Bay beach and a short drive to any of the main towns in port Stephens. All the amenities you could need to make it feel like home. Really loved this place and so did our guests. The only reason I only give it a 4/5 is due to one of our guests being stuck in a room for 5 hours as the door jammed and lock was faulty. Also must bring insect spray as being so close to the beach and national park there are ants that find their way in. That aside it was amazing.
