About this property

Bella Vista, Unit 3/19 Shoal Bay Road - Shoal Bay waterfront unit

This perfectly positioned, sunny corner unit is directly across the road from beautiful Shoal Bay Beach. With its crystal clear waters, white sands and relaxed coastal vibe, Shoal Bay is an idyllic holiday destination for anyone looking for beauty, serenity or adventure – it is undoubtedly one of the prettiest coastal towns in Australia and has so much to offer. The beach boasts great swimming and you can hire kayaks and stand up paddle boards (open everyday during the high seasons of school holidays, long weekends and Easter), and just a 150m stroll along the foreshore brings you to a delicious array of places to eat and drink, plus a selection of shops. At the eastern end of the bay, 600m from your apartment, is magnificent Tomaree National Park which offers spectacular views of the stunning Port Stephens coastline from its summit. There are also plenty of walking and bike tracks on offer, and just a 5-minute drive will take you to Nelson Bay.

Situated at the front of the complex, you're treated to picture perfect views over the Shoal Bay Foreshore, with endless vistas, beautiful serenity and a sparkling blue bay with a sandy beach right across the road. With water views from every room, there is an open plan living area with flat screen TV (not shown in images) and a DVD player, plus a dining area and a kitchen with oven, cooktop, microwave and a full fridge. The living area leads out to the cosy undercover balcony with a table and chairs that overlooks the beach and ocean. The main bedroom has a queen bed and panoramic water views from both windows, while the 2nd bedroom has a double bed and a bunk bed. The bathroom is fitted with a glass shower and toilet.

There is a shared laundry in the complex with a coin-operated washing machine, leading out to a communal grassed area and clothesline, and undercover carport parking is available for one vehicle.

Important Notes:
- Linen and bath towels are provided. The beds will be made ready for your arrival.

Don't Risk Your Health for the View

The pervading smell of urine, disgustingly dirty carpets, pillows and fans, and black mould and green slime in the shower - all this discovered in the most cursory of inspections. This awaited us as we arrived for a romantic Valentines Day weekend. Who takes responsibility for this? It is a health and safety issue the owner has allowed to happen, and given that many of these issue are long term where does the responsibility of the letting agent lay? We selected this apartment because it was in the quieter "no through road" section of Shoal Bay Road, it was absolute waterfront with 180 degree water views and you can hear the waves lapping as you go to sleep. The disgusting situation we encountered certainly broke the romantic weekend experience. The agent offered us various alternatives but none came close to offering the fundamentals we had selected as our reason to come to Shoal Bay - so we ended up in a soulless 8th floor apartment, over 100 metres from the beach with the drone of air-conditioning systems on the adjacent building replacing the lapping of waves - Happy Valentines Day dear.

The property was fine quite comfortable however getting access to the key was a real challenge

Great place comfortable but having to drive 15klms to put the key back was an issue. When returning the key there were 5 other groups in the same situation all stating they would not stay with this lot again. It was only the key return that put them off. Anyway not sure if we would go the same way again even though our accommodation was good.

Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2019

Really Disappointed !

Rating Details: The property manager was very unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This unit is just too old, its dark, stuffy not pleasant and over all not clean. Furnishings all too old, carpet is stained, there is blankets, old light fittings full of dust, cushions etc stuffed in wardrobes, fans full of rust, no aircon, doonas/quilts where not nice, bought my own, broken bath rails sticky taped together, terrible dining table and chairs, crockery is all oddments, wardrobe backings are falling off, holes in curtains, no dishwasher, no kitchen linen or detergent, lounge is smelly, no radio, no fly screens I could go on. Disappointed I should have read reviews.

Great location but very unhygienic apartment

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The apartment was in great location with ocean view, however very pricey for the condition it was in. The carpet was filthy and bed were squeaky. The furniture in the apartment were so old that it could have been acquired from council pick up. We spent most of the time outside the apartment due to its poorly kept condition.

Excellent Location Only

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The best part of our stay in Shoal Bay was the Gorgeous View from our Accommodation. However, The property needs a major clean and overhaul! The whole property is very dusty, Very dirty & smelt awful, carpet is filthy & damp, spider cobwebs everywhere, rain poured into the lobby through the cracks above the side window and above the sidling door. The Bathroom window-screen is full of dirt/dust. My kids refused to sleep on the bunks in fear it was going to collapse, it is very unstable & squeaky! The closets had used unfolded blankets & pillows in them, the cushions on the beds and lounge were dam & mouldy, the lounge suite, smelt awful too!! Sadly this is the worse accommodation we've ever stayed in. Would not recommend this property to anyone
