Rooms and beds are clean. Unfortunately, lots of spider webs on ceiling and some behind furniture. Water views from kitchen, lounge and dining rooms. Oven and microwave smell bad, need cleaning. Also was a bad smell in the ensuite. Showers are good. Generally, the house is very nice, it only needs a bit of TLC.
Great views and relaxing spaces. Fully equipped kitchen and barbeque. Good size bathrooms and beds.

Reviewer Comments:
Place was spotless, interior of house was perfect. Well stocked kitchen & beds were very comfortable. The only downside was the outdoor furniture was breaking & splintering which was disappointing as we spent a lot of time on the deck so it wasn’t very pleasant to use. Other than that the stay was great.

On behalf us all of us at Stay Port Stephens I would like to thank you for sharing this great review! We are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay.
Very well appointed unit, large deck overlooking the bay and close to town. Beach access is not via stair at front of deck unfortunately so a walk around the back instead. Was very comfortable and enjoyed our brief stay.
Great location and views over Port Stephens with a superb deck for a seafood feast

Amazing place, would stay here again for sure! The deck and surrounding outside area is starting to look a bit dated but inside was great and the view/location was something to behold. The kitchen is small but we can't fault the place at all, was a fantastic stay. Would love to visit again in future once the weather gets walmer, it was winter :-)

- Prompt and helpful service - Beautiful location, close to town and beach - Good supply of kitchen utensils etc - carpets were so soft and plush! Only small issues were no face washers supplied (must’ve been simply overlooked) and the neighbours noise travelled through quite loudly at times. Overall a lovely little unit for a few days escape away!

Nice place to stay for the weekend, add was abit confusing with linen etc being included. Was a bit tricky to get to the parking and entrance as you can’t enter via Victoria Parade. The bed we slept in was quite hard and uncomfortable and there was a mug in the cupboard that hadn’t been washed. Great location though within walking distance to main harbor.

The house is beautifully appointed and comfortable. The property manager would not provide the entry code until we were on-site at 10:30pm. It was hard to identify the right key box and the area was poorly lit. Disappointing that pictures were missing from several wall hooks. Only one towel each for 5 days was insufficient. There were no beach towels which we would have appreciated. Access is a bit tricky as has to be accessed by rear lane. Steps from the beach side require work so that they are safe to use. We didn't let these things spoil.our stay in this lovely house.
