About this house rental

This 4-bedroom, beach-themed holiday home offers the ideal base for your family's next Port Stephens holiday. Located in a quiet cul de sac, it is an easy 300m stroll through the leafy reserve onto the soft white sand of Shoal Bay Beach. This pristine stretch of coastline offers great swimming, a beautiful foreshore reserve and your choice of scenic walks, with endless exploring to be done.

This welcoming home features a spacious, air-conditioned living and dining area with TV, DVD player, comfortable lounges and a dining table. Preparing meals will be a breeze in the generous kitchen which offers a dishwasher, oven, cooktop, microwave and full size fridge/freezer. The family room opens onto the covered entertaining deck with a BBQ and outdoor setting, overlooking the backyard which has an outdoor shower and a fantastic kids cubby house offering hours of fun. It's the perfect space to unwind with a chilled drink and snacks after a day out adventuring, before setting up for an easy alfresco dinner.

The master bedroom has a queen bed and ensuite with shower and bath, while the second and third each have a queen bed and the fourth bedroom has a bunk bed and a single bed.

The house was a great space for adults and kids. No back fence means watching little ones at all times but a very quick walk to shoal bay beach and a short drive to little beach.There was no washing up supplies provided at all and I left a message with no response. Also I would have assumed some salt and pepper and maybe cooking oil would have been provided?Unfortunately the lady working at the holiday rental office was also rude upon collection of keys which put a stain at the start of our weekend.May want to also refresh roach baits as a few were around at night, but with all of the wet weather they would have retreated inside. A lovely weekend all around.

Very disappointed with the lack of essential items not provided for a home stay. Only 1 roll of toilet paper provided for 2 x toilets. Very penny pinching not to provide toilet paper. House needs a good clean. Filthy under beds. We would not stay again. And this is an annual tripwe do.
