Vacation rentals with beach access in Forster

We had an incredible time at Vicki's place. The location is excellent, and the natural light in the apartment makes you want to stay in all day. It was spotless and had all the appliances we needed. If we return to Shoal Bay, we would definitely book it again. Vicki was very helpful and responsive, when we accidentally locked ourselves out, she had it sorted within 15 minutes. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would absolutely recommend this place 100%. It was phenomenal.

Nicky was friendly and a pleasure to deal with from the outset. The property was exactly what we expected as a result of seeing the photos in her listing and very comfortable and extremely clean. The view out the front of the unit across the water was amazing. The beds and linen were wonderful, so we slept soundly each night, and the kitchen was outfitted with everything we needed, so much so, that we felt it was our own. We couldn't speak highly enough about our stay, so happy to return sometime and to recommend it to anyone looking for a quality property at an awesome location. Thank you Nicky.

Great value for money, the QT hotel is just down the road, but much preferred the space and amenities available in the apartment. Plus the price was much better. Beautifully styled with quality inclusions. Location was fantastic, we took bicycles and thoroughly enjoyed the harbour and coastal tracks.

Beautiful location, stunning views from the balcony! We were even joined by 6 rainbow lorikeets when we arrived. The flat was spotless, easy to access and Brent was a responsive host. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Lovely place, really helpful guest, mark even helped us re schedule due to bad weather. Would recommend 👍🏼

Very happy with our stay at Blueys Beach. Dean was very communicative and we felt we could reach out to him if there were any concerns. We would definitely like to return for another visit.

Was an absolute delight staying here was so clean and fresh, Nicole meet us there and showed us through she was so friendly and kind, even left little treats and extras would definitely recommend if staying in port thank you Nicole

Graham as a wonderful host! Place was great and even better than the photos. Do yourself a favour and stay at Grahams!!!

We had a great week away with our grown up kids and partners. Plus our family dog. Everyone had a great holiday. Thanks again.

We absolutely loved "Avalon"! It was so spacious and thoughtfully decorated. It was very well resourced. Vanessa had thought of everything that you may need, even supplying us with milk, bread, butter, eggs and chocolates. We loved the wide wrap around verandah and enjoyed breakfasts there in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening. Communication with Vanessa was exceptional.

Great place. We are very familiar with the area and Rohan place was great, intimate and had everything that you need. We were camping for couple of days and got lots of rain so decided last minute to book this home and only book few hours before arriving and everything was ready very quickly. Had a great time.

We were very happy with the house which suited our needs perfectly and the location was beautiful. Being so close to the beach and hearing the waves at night was so peaceful.

Fabulous chilled out beach side weekend with adult children and 2 x dogs. Hosts have a perfect house to relax, surf or take in beach scenery walks. House well appointed with fur family perfectly considered. Paul and De are great hosts. Thank you

A great property to base yourself while in Shoal Bay. 10 minute walks into Shaol Bay, or to the beaches. To have Wreck beach 10 minute walk from your door is fantastic. Beds are extremely comfortable and the house was perfect for what we wanted. If we do get the opportunity to visit Shoal Bay again, we defiantly hope to stay here again.

We stayed at WhaleTail Nelson Bay for a mini birthday trip with my partner and friends, and the experience was amazing. The house is spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with cozy common areas both indoors and outdoors. The kitchen and bathroom amenities were very comprehensive—everything we needed was provided. Located in a peaceful residential area, the home is still just a short drive from Nelson Bay’s d’Albora Marinas, the seashore, and Salamander Bay Square. Insa was a wonderful host—very hospitable, responsive, and always quick to answer any questions. Check-in and check-out were seamless and easy. Our group was very satisfied and would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Port Stephens!

We stayed here for our anniversary and it was the perfect getaway. Cherie is lovely and very communicative and the accommodations were better than the pictures. My husband kept commenting that he’d love to move to a studio like this one!

This place was incredible! This holiday unit was beautiful, clean, ocean view, spacious and with all the amenities available including the pool and gym- I could not recommend this place enough. Lorraine was nice and really easy to communicate with, Thankyou for letting us stay at your place 😊

Perfect for a weekend or even long term getaway. Location was great, right in the heart of the city, 5-mins walk to a couple local pubs, cafes and convenience stores and 15-mins walk to beach and light rail interchange. Also noticed quite a few buses with different bus routes around the area as well. Check in was a breeze and not that I had any issues but Mel was quick to reply once I had advised check in and check out. The place itself was fantastic, ducted air con throughout, 2 very big comfy beds, large lounge area and huge dining area with a kitchen that had what you need to cook for a large group of people, if you wished. Having access to a washing machine and dryer is always a plus, esp. when there’s a 2nd toilet and the bathroom was clean as well. Would definitely look to stay there again if going back up to Newcastle.

We had a wonderful stay at Adam's place. Loved the large deck - great for kids and adults alike. Everything was as per the description and photos on the website. It is a lovely open plan space. Everything you might need is within walking distance supermarket, bakery, Cafe, Golf Club. Playgrounds and of course the beach and river. Hawks Nest is a beautiful place we will be back.

Absolutely lovely beach-side stay, lots of natural light inside and kept very clean. Cafe, restaurants and chemist within short walking distance. Photos are accurate, homely feels and simple instructions/guest book details. Will book again.

We have been on a lengthy road trip and Bill’s place was our favourite out of every where we stayed. The views were amazing, everything we could need was catered for and we felt very comfortable and at home. Would have extended our stay if we weren’t on a schedule so will have to come back another time. Not sad about it-a wonderful part of the world and an awesome accommodation option 🙂

Have had a lovely week at Mark and Leah's apartment in shoal bay. Loved the views and the place was great, everything you needed for a comfortable stay was provided. Shoal Bay itself has a really laid back vibe, with great places to eat right at your doorstep. On our drive home we were already planning on coming back, which speaks volumes on how much we enjoyed our stay.

Absolutely incredible views! I’ve recommend this place to friends and family, very clean and can not fault it at all. Grant was a pleasure to deal with! definitely would book again 🙂

hosts were really lovely and even left home made cookies for arrival! Lovely clean apparentment close to the beach and walks. I didn't realise there was no oven so that was the only downside for us but it was great value for the money
