This massive six bedroom home has multiple living areas, two kitchens, and is perfect for two families, multi-generational families or large groups to share.

Surrounded by nature, Memories on the Beachfront is beyond compare.

Memories on the Beachfront encompasses everything we all dream of when fantasising about our dream beach house holiday. The park-like gardens and reserve offer the perfect space for kids to run and play. There’s a delightful little paved pathway, that winds its way through the beach reserve and has kids play equipment at each end. Stroll a few steps and you’re at The Anchorage Port Stephens, renowned for its opulent day spa, fine and casual waterfront dining. Go for an evening walk along the break-wall that wraps itself around The Anchorage Marina and watch the sun set.

The ground floor is comprised of a family bathroom, an open plan kitchen, lounge and dining room, which all look out onto the grounds and the glistening water beyond and flow out onto the undercover patio complete with BBQ and outdoor dining table. There are four bedrooms on this level. Bedroom 1 enjoys the reserve and water views, opens onto the patio and has a queen bed. Bedroom 2 has a king sized zip bed(nominate preference) and TV. Bedroom 3 also has a king sized bed. Bedroom 4 can act as a kids bedroom, as it has a TV, two seater lounge and a set of bunk beds.

The first floor is comprised of yet another fully equipped kitchen, which is open plan to the generous dining room and both are blessed with water views and open onto a huge undercover deck with comfy outdoor furniture and dining setting. The separate spacious lounge room opens onto its own deck. There are two bedrooms on this level. Bedroom 5 (the master) has a TV, enchanting water views, direct access to the balcony, a king bed and ensuite with double vanity, shower and corner spa bath. Bedroom 6 also has a king sized bed.

Excellent house layout for a big family gathering.

We had a great time with all being close family. All at the house found it excellent. Our only negative was none of our companion dogs were allowed anywhere on the land or garden so had to sadly be left at others for care. One that is too close to my grandaughter to be separated ,forced me to rent another property for them and she could not even visit us. Thus we will not stay here again.

Family Get Together

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: We originally booked this home for a pre Christmas family get together for 8 adults and 3 small children. Unfortunately an accident intervened and we were generously offered the opportunity to move the stay which we did to late March.The accident occurred within the non cancellation window. The home would have comfortably accommodated eleven people(we only had eight on this visit).Location is fantastic for both adults and kids with no roads between the house and water. Also only a short walk to a playground or the restaurant bar and coffee shop at the Anchorage.It is a quiet at night except for some wildlife.Dolphins were visible from the verandah every day we were there.The home was very comfortable.

Sisters Summer holiday

Five of us sisters, and our husbands spent a glorious seven days at this little bit of paradise. The house was perfect for us. The bedrooms were all spacious and the linens were lovely. Checking in was very easy and we settled in on the first day with a visit to the beach just a short distance in front of the house. We spent every day on that private little beach and the dolphins swam by every afternoon to fill us with delight. The views are fabulous the shopping Centre is close by and it’s a very short drive to Nelson Bay for some retail therapy . We all agreed. This was the most beautiful holiday we have had for a long time. Thank you stays we will definitely be rebooking.

Beautiful setting for extended family long weekend

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: The property was very spacious and in a perfect location with good water views. We especially liked having 2 lounge areas and 2 dining areas (inside and outside on a covered balcony) where everyone could eat together. Unfortunately, the coffee maker’s milk frothier didn’t work. Also, locks on the bathroom and toilet doors would have enhanced privacy.

Great spot. Wonderful weekend

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great stay however on arrival we could not get in as the security door was locked so we had to wait for someone to come and open it.I had also requested that the two single beds be made up into one bed but this was not done and I found a pair of pants behind a door from I am assuming the last guests so it obviously was not vacuummed properly.Overall though we had a fantastic time.

Stunning views

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a memorable stay with a group of friends wanting to just chill by the beach and play board games. The house is big with plenty of room for 9 adults. Kitchen is well equipped with dinnerware, cutleries and basic amenities and we could cook breakfast and use the BBQ with no problem. Some kitchen appliances including the kitchen exhaust and microwave can be slightly tricky to find the right button but having those options were good. Owner provided some coffee pods and a nespresso machine with milk frother which was good. Bed and linen were good and central air conditioning was a plus. There was also a bottle of wine given when check-in, which was a nice touch. However, there are some basic amenities that could be better - no shampoo or bath gel were provided in the bathroom apart from bar soap and no hair dryer which were not clearly indicated in the description. There was a mention of cleaning 'starter kit' which indicated bin liners, but wish they would have provided more, considering it's a place for a large group as both bins quickly filled up by day 1 after the BBQ. Key lock instructions weren't given on time but the call line was helpful and responded quickly. Would also prefer the instructions such as pre-departure checklist be printed or having a handbook for FAQ to be in a visible place of the property, instead of just email which I didn't check until after check out as holiday makers don't tend to check emails!

Perfect Location, average house, disrespectful owner

The location of this house was just perfect, with a large lawn and garden between the house and the beach. It was the perfect spot for the kids to play and adults to relax. The house was well appointed with plenty of cooking utensils / crockery and the two kitchens were really handy. The rest of the house was fine, it was comfortable but needs some updates. The bathrooms are very tired. There were broken lamps in the bedrooms and a lack of powerpoints. There was not enough toilet paper / washing machine tablets provided to get through a 5 day stay (this is not a cheap house, this should have been included). The house is not safe for toddlers, there is no way to close off the internal stairs, and also a set of stairs heading down from the balcony. The roller blind pulls were not secured to the wall and were loose, which is a hazard for little kids. Overall we enjoyed our stay, however I would stay in a different house in the same location next time. The real trouble started after we had left. While vacuuming the house before leaving, the vacuum broke. We alerted the property manager after checking out. Our significant security deposit was held while they liaised with the owner about the vacuum. Eventually the majority of our deposit was refunded, but they hung on to some until the owner had determined whether the vacuum would be repaired under warranty. The implication of this was that we had somehow misused the vacuum while cleaning the house. Four weeks later the owner finally refunded the remainder of our deposit, as they were able to have the vacuum repaired at no cost. This is not an acceptable way to treat guests, it's been a waste of our time and a stress we did not need returning from holidays. As a result we cannot recommend this house as a place to enjoy a relaxing holiday.
