About this property

Tucked among pristine beaches and windswept dunes lies the village of Fingal Bay and Echoes, your coastal sea change escape.

With a crisp and contemporary coastal aesthetic with all the creature comforts of home, the only pressing to-do's will be relax, breathe and enjoy. Echoes at Fingal Bay is also completely dog-friendly and fur-guests are most welcome inside. With 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, air-conditioning, open plan living and secure courtyards, everyone can enjoy their time at the Bay.

Escape the peak hour, deadlines and sports drop-offs once and for all, by packing up the car and escaping to a warmer, sunlit north and the stunning oasis of the Port Stephens Peninsula.

Echoes at Fingal Bay (Villa 1) is one of 2 single level, easy access, 3 bedroom villas; a 3 minute walk to the beach and parkland and even closer to our local cafe. The Villa comprises of a queen master with ensuite, a second queen bedroom and a twin, with a family bathroom. Open plan living and dining leads out to a welcoming courtyard with a gas barbecue and a second deck area is a perfect location for a coffee or simply relaxing. Echoes also has a full-sized kitchen will all the necessary appliances and a separate laundry with washer and dryer. Free wifi and Netflix is also available for you to enjoy.

Your dog is also most welcome at Echoes - our home is your home - and Echoes is fully fenced and secure making it easy living for everyone's enjoyment.

Ease into the lifestyle of local by starting your morning with a short stroll to the local coffee shop and enjoying the morning paper as morning walkers, early risers and surfers pass by for a quick chat and coffee fix. Spend the morning lazing at the beautiful Fingal Bay beach or, for the more adventurous, hire a paddle board to enjoy the shallows and sea life of the bay. If the weather is right, play explorer for the day and take the walk across the sandy spit and to explore the hidden natural treasures of Fingal Island and the Lighthouse.

For fur-guests, explore the many walking trails, off-lead parks and dog-friendly beaches that are available in Port Stephens. Relax with your dog, over coffee, breakfast, lunch or dinner at one of many dog-friendly cafes and restaurants.

In the noon, enjoy the cool shade that the coastal bushland offers by following the twisting sand trails of the many coastal walking trails. Sandy tracks will take you to quiet undisturbed bays, beaches and alcoves all of your own - you may even spot a roo or two! As dusk draws closer, cook yourself a simple feast and pop open a bottle to enjoy the gorgeous sunsets and lorikeets or, for those with more energy, a short drive into town to experience an array of delicious, local and fresh dining options.

As you stay at Echoes, you will finally get a taste of what a true sea change has to offer by exploring the number of local family and surf beaches, mountains walks or sand dune rides. Get some reprieve from the chaos of everyday life by treating yourself to a morning yoga session, massage or facial at the number of beauty retreats that dot the peninsula.

As you take that much-needed break at Echoes, notifications and to-dos should drift away until the only thing on your mind will be the important things in life: loved ones, sunlight and salty sea currents.

Perfection
Michelle & Andrew go above and beyond making your stay here feel like a home away from home. The appreciation we have for being able to take our dogs away with us, and for it to really be pet friendly we are so grateful for that! Thank you for always having the special touches you have for not on your human guest but the fur guest as well! We will be back as always again and again!

Very satisfied, super clean and modern
The Villa was very new and the hospitality was amazing. There was complimentary cereal and several other things, such as a coffee machine. The owners left some dog treats for our dog and a pack of Tim tams. There was also several booklets about places to visit with recommendations and information, including whether it was dog friendly or not. The Villa was also very clean. Overall it was an amazing place to stay!
