I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were a family group of 5 adults plus a 9 yo and 2 yo and had a great time at tranquil waters. The weather was very warm during our stay but being right on the water we always had a sea breeze to cool us down. Sometimes the wind was too strong to open the doors but it was welcome. Holden were safe on the front lawn and we loved the convenience of walking to the sailing club for coffee or to Bannisters for a meal. There is a nearby wharf to fish from to entertain the kids. Not really suitable for swimming at the front of the house due to weed in the water. Need to travel to other port Stephens beaches to swim. Downside was large ($1500) security deposit, spiders in the garden, dead mouse on the interior lawn and the fact that the bed linen etc was at the front door on arrival. Needed to call the manager to get beds made etc.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall it was a nice trip. We like the beach front experience. The house doesn't have air-conditioning, so it was a big issue for sleeping at one hot night. The host should consider to install the air-conditioning at least at upper level bedroom and the living room.
