Fingal Bay Beach House - Water Views and Seconds From the Beach
Fingal Bay Beach House is located only 50m from family favourite Fingal Bay Beach and the boat ramp. With tempting views of the beach from the front veranda, its super versatile floor plan makes it ideal for large families, intragenerational families or two families to share for a good old fashioned beach holiday. The home is also only 10 mins drive to Nelson Bay.
Fingal Bay Beach House is located at the southern end of the beach, affectionately referred to as Kiddie’s Corner. This protected stretch of the beach is perfect for children as it’s sheltered from big waves and typically has the type of small rolling waves that kids can spend hours enjoying. Waves just right for learning to surf or bodyboard, standup paddle boarding, kayaking and snorkelling. The beach is often patrolled by Surf Life Savers who set up flags indicating the best place to swim. There’s an amenities block, and BBQs and picnic tables are scattered along the grassy reserve adjacent to the beach. Bring the kids’ bikes and scooters or simply wander north along the pathway, that runs parallel with the beach, in only a few hundred meters you’ll discover a wonderful children’s playground and the Surf Life Saving Club’s cafe and restaurant. At low tide you can venture over the Fingal Spit and spend time exploring Fingal Island and see the light house.
Fingal Bay Beach House consists of two separate cottages, which are only meters apart and have an undercover deck between them. Right Side Cottage - Sleeps 2, it consists of one bedroom with a queen bed, an open plan dining room, lounge room and fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom and a lovely sunny, north facing, wrap around veranda.

The house was very clean, the kitchen adequately stocked, the yard was pet secure, the layout of the house is great for a family (unless the children are very young), the proximity to the beach is fantastic, at times there was quite a bit of traffic noise because the house is located on a main access road to the beach. All in all we would stay there again.

Excellent quantity of glasses. I think some additional spare toilet paper considering 6 adults for 5 days could have been provided. Minor point though. Location and facilities were excellent and all of us thoroughly enjoyed the location and proximity of the beach.

Absolutely amazing location. Main house was really beautiful with a stunning balcony looking out to the ocean. The listing was not clear enough around the layout of the two houses. We stayed with young kids and it was challenging. A photo of the property layout and a clear depiction of how separate they are would have been helpful. The second house with the two bedrooms had a very damp smell that we could not get rid of with open windows and fans on.

Hi Emma,
Thank you for taking the time to review the property. We are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay.
Sorry to hear the layout was not described properly, we will look into this to see how we can be a little more accurate.
And we will have the second cottage looked at in regards to the damp smell.
The home is in a great location, its great to be so close to the beach and the shops at Fingal Bay.

Hi this house is in a great position and the host was great. Would consider staying againI only marked down because it wasn’t clear that 2 of the bedrooms were in a detached building. You had to get into the actual spiel when I looked back that I must not fully of read. This wasn’t an issue for us because our kids are older but could be if you had young children. Also there are a couple of maintenance issues that need attending and the garden area is very moist which brings mosquitoes so couldn’t really sit outside in the rear. But overall a great place and would recommend

Fingal Bay is gorgeous and this house is fresh, bright, dog friendly and a 30 sec walk from the sand. NB: the two building set up might not suit everyone.

My husband and I had a wonderful stay here with our adult daughter. Fantastic layout if the premises was better than any where else we had stayed. Well stocked kitchen and outdoor kitchen was a great touch. Very comfortable beds and view to the beach was a wonderful bonus. Highly recommend this property and will look forward to a return visit. Thank you to our hosts for living up to all advertised expectations.
* 1BR House, 2BR Cabin, outdoor kitchen and eating area were exactly as advertised;* Bedrooms, bathrooms, linen were all clean and comfortable;* Kitchen cupboards and drawers - hard to stay on top of in this area, evidence of the small bush cockroaches "visiting", easily dealt with by dumping everything we needed into dishwasher;* Perfect location with 50 metre walk to beach, and 50 metre walk to local cafe, small shops;* We would definitely stay again.
Disappointed that there was no pantry eg no salt or pepper or glad wrap.The shower (not main) leaked all over bathroom floor.

Property was great. Well prepared and presented all as offered.
My only comment is on garbage bins as both were very full when we arrived.
We will be back! Terrific stay.
