We couldn't have picked a better location. Lovely outlook with an easy walk to Dutchman's Beach and Nelson Bay.
The house was amazing - light, airy and well appointed - everything we needed was there. We would definitely stay here again.
Clean, spacious, quiet with view. 15 min walk to Nelson Bay Marina, restaurants and shops and a few minutes to Dutchies beach. Just one thing that was missing was an outside umbrella for shade as gets very sunny on the balcony.
We were very happy with the house. It was well set up, a good location and the beds were excellent. I would recommend it.

Great house in a fantastic location. Easy to get to and close to all that Port Stephens has to offer. The service provided was very professional and getting the key was trouble free. The only thing that i think is worth mentioning is that the property has a lot of stairs and also a lot of stairs to the beach. Overall though, fabulous.

Reviewer Comments:
The property was well presented and fit for purpose.Neat and tidy with simple and usefully furnished with a good level of short term rental needs.The only potential improbpvement would be to have air conditioning in the upper level which gets hot during the afternoon. The ceiling fans in the bedrooms are excellent. We might upgrade our own at home to this particular fan.The initial access code to get the keys was incorrect. Thankfully we arrives during business hours and with contacting the Agent the correct code solved the problem.

We had a lovely stay in the Sand & Sea beach house. It is a perfect spot to go as a family, the house is spacious and has all the amenities you may need. The location is fantastic and just a walk to the beach. We got lucky enough to even see dolphins from the balcony view. It is defs a spot id go back to and recommend to friends. My only critiques for improvement is the deposit process was a bit up and down and it took quite some time to get our money back. Additionally, the kitchen could do with some new knives :) Overall, nothing major.
Beautiful house. Very well equipped. Short walk to a quiet little beach and short drive to shops and marina. We truly enjoyed our stay and looking forward for another visit soon.

Property was clean and comfortable. Amazing views of Port Stephens. We particularly enjoyed sitting on front deck to relax and eat enjoying view. Comfortable beds. Short walk to Dutchies beach, however note steep stairs to and from beach. Would not recommend house for people with toddlers or elderly as the house has external and internal stairs.Good value compared to other properties.

Very clean property with good view, my kids enjoyed the trip.
We loved the place. The view over Dutchies Beach was fabulous and we were only a 15 minute walk to town. The house was clean, well presented and a generous size for the three of us. We will visit again.
