Beachfront vacation rentals in Fingal Bay

The house was very nice and in a great location for anyone with dog's. Only 5 minutes walk to the dog friendly beach and half an hour's walk into town. As we haven't been to the area before, Clare's recommendations of things to do were excellent for the whole family.

Natalie and Colin were excellent hosts. Their house is very comfortable; they are very welcoming; and they were helpful responding to our queries. The house is located a short and pleasant walk from a stunning beach. Highly recommended!

We had a great stay at Warwick’s place. Ideal location - both walking distance to the beach and strip of restaurants and cafes. The lounge and dining furniture differs to what is listed in the pictures, however that did not impact our stay.

Location was amazing!! Can go fishing in your own backyard, kayaking or just sit by the water. So quiet and perfect for us with 3 kids. House was lovely the photos don’t do it justice. We are already planning our next trip here

Wow, what a property! Absolutely beautiful and so well designed. Perfect for 2 couples and the location is fantastic. We all said we could live there….just beautiful. Thank you Melissa and Tony it was perfection!

Elizabeth's place was homely, spacious & so central for our trip to Newcastle. Will be visiting again!!

Beautiful house in a quiet location right on the water. The dog loved running around the large fenced yard and the kids loved taking the kayaks out. There was a large kitchen to cook in and a huge balcony to sit out on and enjoy the views. There was plenty of space for us. David the host was friendly and helpful. We didn’t even go out as the house and waterfront was enough for us. We will visit again.

10 stars! The longer you stay in Keran’s studio (and Newcastle) the longer you will want to stay. As frequent airbnb’ers we SO appreciate the considerate built-in storage spaces, HOOKS (!), all the kitchen supplies needed to cook meals, etc.! Keran spoiled us: cheeses, fruit, butter, gluten free crackers (she asked about dietary requirements!), OJ and more. Any anxiety about lack of outdoor space was quelled by a cute cozy basement style patio and the fact that Newcastle Beach and its shaded chill spaces is only a few minutes’ walk away. I have to mention the bathroom which had the most sophisticated lighting I have seen. Plus a great shower, just bring your shampoo. Public transport is nearby but we were happy to have a car to explore and traffic was a non-issue. Smaller car is best. Restaurants in walking distance as well as ocean pools (a must!). Best grocery stores by car. We met Keran who was great about checking in w/us and suggestions. She lives above in this historic complex.

Beautiful location, easy access to beach and walking tracks. Family friendly and very welcoming reception.

Perfect house for a big group, right on the beach with a great heated pool. We loved our stay and will definitely be back

Make sure that you visit this property once in your lifetime. The property is luxurious, the amenities are six star and the view is to die for! We watched a pod of dolphins round up a school of baitfish from our balcony, it was something out of a National Geographic documentary! This property is incredible and the hosts went out of their way to make our stay a trip to remember, the service and hospitality they offered was flawless. Much appreciated.

Narelle’s place is situated perfectly 2 mins walk from beautiful Little Beach and other attractions/activities in this area of Port Stephens. The apartment was beautiful and spotless with a fully stocked kitchen with everything you may possibly need as well as games and rackets for the tennis court. Parking was available on site. Additionally Narelle was quick to respond to any queries I had. I would definitely recommend Narelle’s place. I wish I could’ve stayed longer.

The Love Nest is truly a love nest. Both my husband and I absolutely adored our time in Kristins special sanctuary. It is so well equipped with everything you need and right across from the beach. The sounds of the birds and waves are truly magic from both the balcony and inside. We cant wait to come back as was an exception stay. Our gratitude.

We had a fantastic stay in this apartment! The views of Fingal Bay were absolutely spectacular, and the short walk to the beach made it even better. We loved having the little grocery store and cafés just downstairs—so convenient. The underground parking and elevator access straight to the second-floor apartment were a huge plus. The large covered balcony was perfect for relaxing, and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed. We also appreciated how peaceful the area was while still being close to amenities. The only minor issue was sometimes the buses will idle at the bus stop near the apartment and if you have your doors open it can be a bit loud. But it’s only a couple of times per day we noticed it. Definitely recommend the apartment.

This was such a peaceful, relaxing stay. We loved the views and the rainbow lorikeets that visited of an afternoon! My partner and I were travelling on our honeymoon and this is such a phenomenal space that has been created, with a luxurious feel and stunning views, with lots of great places to see, restaurant and cafes to visit! Mitch recommended some things to do and places to see which was also very helpful! I would definitely recommend this space to couples travelling and would love to come back in the future!

It’s our 2nd visit to Barefoot Bliss and we had a fabulous time again. The view from the verandah and short walk to the beach make it ideal for a getaway.

We had a fantastic stay at Marcus and Helen's property. The decor is absolutely lovely—thoughtfully chosen and welcoming, creating a real home-away-from-home vibe. The kitchen was impressively well-stocked with everything we needed, including quality crockery and utensils. The furniture throughout the house was very comfortable, perfect for relaxing after a day out. On top of all that, the location was ideal—peaceful yet close to everything we wanted to see and do. Highly recommended!

Perfect location handy to Merewether beach, comfortable apartment with everything needed for a short stay! Cal was an excellent host!

Visiting to see something at the country club. Very easy to get to. Parking was a bonus. Great location!

Great place to stay. Fantastic views. Very comfy bed. Fantastic hosts, great communication and very responsive.

Stephan's place is lovely. My wife loved the decor. Some very pretty touches that helps to make you feel relaxed and in a home away from home. Convenient location for what we wanted to see and do in Nelson Bay. 15 minute walk along the bay foreshore to the shopping centre and marina. Highly recommended. Hopefully we'll be back around the same time next year.

Absolutely beautiful accommodation in a perfect location. It’s like your own private beach oasis right on the doorstep of Blacksmiths Beach and Granny’s Pool. The outdoor dining area was our favourite place to sit and enjoy a quiet breakfast and relax for dinner in complete privacy. The amenities are modern and everything you need - we didn’t want to leave! Easily the best place to stay in Blacksmiths!

Absolutely loved our stay. It’s as beautiful as it looks!

We had a great time at Carly & Katie's place. It was exactly as described and very clean. The apartment has great views across the beach and parkland and is just a short walk into the heart of the city or over the road to the beach or foreshore parks and walks. There are great restaurants and cafes close by, and the renewed areas along the river are very close too. We'd highly recommend Carly & Katie's apartment as a great base for wonderful stay in Newcastle.
