Apartment vacation rentals in Port Stephens Council

We absolutely loved our stay at By the Bay. We only wish we could give it 6 stars! We stayed for a couples wknd & it was just what we were looking for. Super cute, clean & very comfortable. Great location. Only a short walk down to the beach & some amazing restaurants and cafes. There are nearby walking trails and hikes if you’re into that but otherwise Shoal Bay is a lovely spot just to rest & relax. We will definitely be back again in the future! Thanks Dane for a great stay.

We always stay at Little Beach for the convenience of walking to Shoal Bay or into Nelson Bay and of course the beaches. The apartment was very spacious, clean and with everything we needed. The pool was also clean with enough seating area and coverage from the sun. I would recommend staying at Marty’s to my friends.

Great appartments , very clean and well maintained with air conditioning in all rooms except one which had ceiling fan. Janet was very responsive to all requests

Great apartment close to everything Shoal Bay has to offer, all within immediate walking distance. We even walked to Nelson’s Bay marina one day. Enjoyed trying the restaurants as suggested by Claire. Italian place was our favourite plus coffee at Inner light tea room (drove to this one 🤪) Will definitely be back if in area.

Great place to stay, close to all the local amenities and the beach! Totally recommended. Thanks Insa for the late checkout too!

We had the most wonderful stay at Fingal Bay, the apartment is right across the road from the beach and you can hear the waves at night time. The apartment is well cared for with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Michelle was really friendly and easy to deal with. We will definitely be back, it wasn’t long enough.

Large 2 bedroom house in a convenient location. Great amenities and a friendly host. Would definitely stay there again.

Absolutely loved our stay! The apartment had everything we needed and more, and Mark provided great recommendations for the area

Really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful Airbnb! Will definitely be back

I really enjoyed staying here. The views from thr balcony were beautiful! The place was spacious and the space accommodated the three of us well. It is a short walk to the beach and we'll situated. I would definitely recommend this place.

We had such an amazing stay at Ilanga! It is such a beautiful apartment and has been dressed to look luxurious but still has a homey and comfortable atmosphere. All of the small touches of hospitality made us feel so welcome. The Christmas tree, trivia games and bottle of champagne were enjoyed by all of us! The scent used in the apartment was so nice I have even gone and purchased it for my own home. Thank you so much for making our stay such a great experience even though the weather wasn't ideal. We were lucky enough that it cleared up for us to enjoy the balcony on our last night, the views were amazing! I will definitely be staying at Ilanga again and will recommend it to my friends & family!

Perfect location close to shops and beach but quiet. Hosts have thought of everything, all those thoughtful small details for a relaxing stay. Bed is really comfortable and everything was new-looking and clean. Thanks for a very rejuvenating stay.

We had a great weekend at Narelle's place. The apartment is in a fantastic location, within walking distance to the beach. The place was clean and tidy. Would stay here again!

Great place to stay. Peaceful, amazing views, lots of amenities. Pool and jacuzzi were fantastic. Highly recommend!

My 2-night stay was really perfect, the hosts very welcoming and attentive. The location is just great, very close to the beach. And the rental was as advertised and very clean and new. It was perfect.

Joanne's place was immaculately clean, well presented, bright and lovely. It was perfectly situated, short walk into town and the beach. I would definitely go back.

Nicole’s place was perfect. Restaurant and beach right at the exit the apartment 😍. Nicole was very responsive and I appreciated her kindness. She is a great host. I would recommend this place. It is beautiful, and in a perfect spot.

A great place in the middle of Nelson Bay and Shoal Bay. Super easy to get around from here and a nice stay.

A comfortable accommodation for our little family getaway. Access to the pool from the deck was fantastic for the kids. The king bed upstairs is superbly comfortable. The bathroom is spacious with good water pressure in the shower.

Melissa went above and beyond with her communication, listing a number of things to do, eat and enjoy for our first time as a young family in Nelson's Bay. While the accomodation itself is attached to Mantra Hotel, she puts in a lot of effort with the decor and amenities that you feel like it's your own little holiday apartment to enjoy. It's super practical, being able to cook at home and do the washing while we were there. We were blessed with warm weather so spent a lot of our time out, but when we were back it felt like home. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for accomodation in the heart of Nelsons Bay. Thanks again!

Thank you so much Chris, for your kindness, generosity and hospitality with this booking. We can’t recommend your property highly enough

A terrific place, lots of space, modern and clean. Fabulous views from the balcony and swimming pool. Highly recommended.

The place was amazing, easy yo walk around with amminities in walking distance. The marine was in just a miute away
