Beach House, 1/20 Pacific Drive - Enjoy the relaxed beach lifestyle at Fingal Bay in a modern duplex
Beach House overlooks Fingal Bay Beach, and is just steps away from the protected southern end known as 'kiddies corner', which is favoured by families for its typically calm waters with small waves and rock pools to explore. 1km down this beautiful stretch of beach is the patrolled area (from September to April), along with the Fingal Bay Surf Club, Longboat Cafe and a fantastic kids playground. Stroll along the soft sand, or follow the tree-lined bike and walking path to get there.
From your holiday home, you can cross the road to Barry Park and discover the walking tracks and picnic areas. Barry Park Lookout is a popular spot to see amazing views of the coastline, and if you're lucky you could spot whales migrating off the coast between May to September. You're also a convenient 400m stroll from the small local grocery shop, takeaway and cafe. Enjoy a peaceful and relaxing beachside break here at Fingal Bay, where you are away from the crowds yet only a 5-minute drive to Shoal Bay and a 10-minute drive to Nelson Bay.
Beach House is a modern, ground floor duplex. It has open plan living and dining with reverse cycle air-conditioning, ceiling fans, flat screen TV, Foxtel and free Wifi, and a fully equipped kitchen with microwave, dishwasher, stove, coffee pod machine (Aldi pods) and a highchair. The covered outdoor entertaining area has a gas BBQ, and outdoor furniture, with a grassed yard that looks out over Fingal Bay Beach. Spend the morning out exploring the beach, then head home, rinse the sand off in the outdoor shower and enjoy a leisurely BBQ lunch with the pristine Port Stephens coastline as backdrop - just the way beach holidays are meant to be.
There are also 2 large bedrooms, one with a queen bed and ceiling fan, and the other with 2 king single beds and a fold up bed. The bathroom offers a bath, shower and toilet, while the internal laundry has a washer and dryer, and parking is available in a single lock up garage.
This property occupies the lower level of a two-storey home. While your space is completely private with its own entrance and amenities, there may occasionally be guests staying in the level above. Every effort is made to ensure all guests enjoy a quiet and comfortable stay.

Space, Peace and Ocean Views
This property provided us with the space, privacy and tranquillity we were seeking, while offering beautiful views and a less than 5 minutes walk to the beach. The outdoor shower on the lawn and the huge bath were a bonus too.
We have been going to Fingal Bay for 10 years. This was the best place we stayed. Clean, well equipped and excellent location. We put the car in the garage and walked everywhere. Highly recommended. Worth every $

Fantastic beach house
This property is fantastic. The house is actually better than it looks in the pictures. Huge open plan living/dining area as well as fantastic space outside to cook a BBQ and watch the beach. Extremely comfortable beds.
This house is also in an incredible location - a short easy stroll to the beach (even with a 2 year old). We stayed for 7 nights, and will definitely be back!
Beautiful view from backyard. Could do with a thorough clean...windows especially but ok for our 2 nights. Carpet old but place was tidy. Beds were very comfortable..lovely view from main, just a bummer having to make own beds. I would stay again.

Nice property to stay in. Cleanness of outdoor area was not the best. Had to wipe off outdoor setting from black dust that had obviously been there for awhile. Black water ran from the bathroom tap, had to run for a little bit till clear, just put down that property hasn’t been used for awhile.

Nice house but service provided not as expected
The house is really nice, the location perfect, the view is great and we enjoyed the terrasse with the bbq.
But the service provided is not as expected:
We had to put the sheets on every bed
The 5th bed was broken
There was only one toilet paper roll for 5 people for 2 days
Only one trash bag
The proper sponge
And the worst was that we had a lots of ants in the bed that woke us up at night
Moreover, getting the keys and bringing them back 20 minutes away from the house is not really convenient, even more when we have to leave the house at 10am and want to stay around for the rest of the day
Property was excellent and as advertised! Coming from Canada, I wasn’t sure what to expect but everything was just right. This property is spacious and well suited to a group or family with kids.
Our family stayed at the home for the weekend, easy to get find and great location.
House was clean, linen was dropped off was waiting inside . Nice back garden to sit outside. We would like to come back for a full week
It could have been perfect only downsides were sheets were dirty, bbq was unusable as was unclean and covered in mould besides these 2 issues we would stay here again if a bit more attention was paid to the cleanliness of the property
Property had a beautiful view of the beach. Spacious for our family of four and had everything we needed for a comfortbale stay. Kitchen was fully servicable with full size fridge and dishwasher which was great as we eat a few dinners at home. Also the lockup garage came in handy as we had surfboards to store. Spotlessly clean.
We had a fantastic time at the property it's only a short walk to beach and the view from the patio, kitchen , main bedroom are excellent for a non waterfront house .
We all loved the house and enjoyed the space. Clean and very spacious.
Only cons-
Gas was empty in bbq so we needed to return to town.
A stock of toilet paper and washing up liquid would have been appreciated.
We had a fantastic stay. House was well equiped in the kitchen and a superb location, we fell in love with Fingal Bay. The only negatives with the property was that the TV didn't really work and the Wifi was very poor. There was an empty beer bottle behind the microwave when we arrived. Was just so nice to get away and overall we enjoyed our stay.

Perfect Location, Great Apartment!
Perfect unit over looking Fingal Bay. Short walk to beach, shops and bush walks. Unit was excellent, very peaceful and roomy. Hot outdoor shower and comfortable beds. Large kitchen, bedroom and living area. Single lock up garage very tight to get into for a large car (SUV) so parked outside the unit during the stay. Will definitely return in the future!

You have to bring your own toilet paper and gas for the BBQ, which was not cleaned hence we ended up not using it at all for the week. Lounge smells. I would recommend BYO bed pillows as well. You have to make your own beds. Check-in for keys didn't work and was delayed in the shipping container where you collect them. If these things won't bother you then add two more stars at least.
Clean, spacious, close to the beach, great view of the beach from the backyard

Awesome location!!
The house was very good for our young family, spacious inside and great grass area in the backyard!!! we loved the location, National Park on one side and short walking distance to the beach on another! Only one thing I would recommend is to wash/refresh quilts, mattress protectors, pillows etc. Otherwise house has everything what you need to enjoy your holidays! who knows we might be back!!

Great location.
Loved the sounds of the waves and the view from the dining room and the kitchen but we found we sunk into the lounge so wasnt comfortable. I also found the bed to be too high for me as Im a short person but once in it was good. The bottle of wine was really nice. I would have preferred for it to be stocked with the basic things.
