BeckRating, 5 stars2 days ago
My friend and I had a wonderfully relaxing stay. The home was beautiful and had everything we needed for a weekend sans kids and husbands. I would highly recommend this home for anyone wanting a relaxing stay, with magnificent views and in walking distance to all Shoal Bay has to offer, in Shoal Bay.

Waterfront Port Stephens Sunset@Corlette -4 Kayaks

HughRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
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.

Harrington Haven : Beach Chic on the Waters Edge

KellyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
One of the best locations of a BnB that I have ever stayed at. Helen's place was super comfortable and her communication was prompt and friendly. The place was clean and had everything we needed. I would love to come back in the summer time to take advantage of this beautiful waterfront location, but even in the winter, this stay was great! I have no hesitation in recemmending this place, we loved it!

"SHOREBREAK" at Bonny Hills - Beachfront Location

VirginiaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Julie's home "Shorebreak" was amazing. It was exactly as described both in words and pictures. The location was perfect across the road from the beach with the ability to check the surf conditions from the front balcony! We were a group of 11, including 6 teenagers, there was plenty of space for everyone, huge TVs with great internet, Netflix and lots of cozy corners for parents to read, watch TV or simply relax. The house included everything you could possibly need, with the kitchen being the best of any AirBNB I have ever stayed in. The bedrooms were very large, the beds comfortable and the bathrooms huge and very modern. Julie was fabulous to deal with, she met us upon arrival and explained everything about her house, she was easy to deal with and was extremely responsive when contacted regarding a minor issue, dealing with it promptly. I would highly recommend "Shorebreak" to anyone, and we would defiantly stay at this beautiful home again. Thanks again Julie!

BeateRating, 5 stars4 months ago
We truly enjoyed our stay. Thank you very much. Only thing, we weren’t aware of so many stairs, which made it hard for our elderly parents to move easily. We just didn’t realise it while we were booking. The place is stunning. Loved in particular the bed linen. Would have like a few more pots/ frying pan and maybe a chair to get to the top shelves, there are many top shelves. Generally we enjoyed our stay very much.

Lake Getaway, opp lake, close 2 beach, free kayaks

LisaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
What an amazing home and location. If I could give more than 5 stars for every aspect I would. The home was definitely a home away from home where everything you could imagine was stocked and provided in the kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas. Siting on the deck and watching the beautiful Wallis Lake view was so relaxing. The Recky Club directly across the road made dinner and drinks most nights so easy and not to mention, so cheap. I couldn't even make a meal for $12 per person - AMAZING! Julie was super responsive, accommodating and gave us some great tips and ideas for local sights, restaurants and things to do. I can not recommend this stay highly enough and would definitely love to return one day. Lisa & David

"The View" Waterfront Apartment Shoal Bay

This accomodation was outstanding. Great location and the unit was equipped with everything you needed including some thoughtful items like a coffee machine, condiments in the fridge to a variety of tea and coffee selections. Communication was on point with step by step instructions on how to access the unit and Mark was very reactive to emails. The outlook was amazing, listening to the sound of the waves and the sunsets ❤️. I will be back..

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

IanRating, 5 stars2 months ago
The apartment and the amenities are outstanding. We returned here because we had to extend staying away from our house because of renovations. This was our first choice and u cannot recommend it enough. What really does need highlighted is how much of an outstanding history Connie is. She was so understanding, compassionate, super friendly and flexible. She deserves 10 stars.
