The Space:
This holiday home is only 300m to the idyllic Shoal Bay Beach and 900m to picturesque Little Beach, both beautiful sandy beaches great for swimming, kayaking and stand up paddle boarding (which are available for hire). There is a fantastic restaurant over the water 'The Boathouse' at Little Beach, quaint tearooms with panoramic water views at the Nelson Bay Lighthouse, and an array of cafes, restaurants and shops along the waterfront of Shoal Bay. Little Beach offers a shaded grassed area with tables, BBQ's, playground, take away/general store and public amenities, and just 500m further along the coast is Fly Point, ideal for snorkelling and diving.

This semi detached 2-storey house is situated on a corner block with a flat double driveway. On entering the house you are greeted to an air-conditioned, tiled, open plan living area with a cane lounge suite, flat screen TV, Wifi, a dining area, and a spacious, fully equipped kitchen including dishwasher and breakfast bar with bar stools.

You have access straight to the beach through the back gate, and a handy outdoor shower to wash the sand off when you return. Also on the ground level is a queen bedroom and a bathroom with shower and toilet, making this space perfect for an elderly or disabled guest who can't use the stairs. There is also an internal laundry with a washer and dryer.

Nice house with good basics. Locked backyard to store outdoor gear and a little laneway leading to the beach was nice. Nice and roomy for a family of 8!

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Quiet location
Rated 3 stars for cleaning concerns - floors felt slimy, dead flys in window sills and stains to floor mat in downstairs bathroom.
Also Would have been nice to know before hand someone would be unlocking the gate and entering the yard to take the bins out.
Overall property was well equipped and great location to the beach but is in need of some maintenance/tlc

Hi Leanne, thank you for sharing your thoughts. We apologise for any inconvenience caused by your stay. We do get regular pest control treatments on all our properties hence the presence of some dead insects. However, we encourage our guests to contact us if something's not right in your holiday home, especially if it is not cleaned to your satisfaction. Rest assured that we are on top of this. We will coordinate your feedback with the housekeeping team for action. We hope to serve you better in the future.
Great location, close to beach, quiet, peaceful, clean, spacious and would definitely stay again. Only negatives are no ceiling or pedestal fans and water pressure in downstairs shower was terrible but for a short term stay it wasn't a huge issue
Very clean and tidy house. Quiet area, great for family holiday, relax and enjoy, quite close to the beach. Definitely will book for next time visit.
