Vacation rentals with a patio in Old Bar

The best thing about this accommodation was definitely the location. The balcony with its stunning view of the sea (or bay) was simply paradise. It was an absolute joy to have my morning coffee and breakfast there while taking in the peaceful scenery, and in the evening, watching the sunset was just magical. The apartment itself was well-equipped, and the proximity to the bay below was excellent. The self-check-in process was easy and convenient. The only downside was the lack of air conditioning, which might be an issue on very hot days—but other than that, everything was great!

Amazing stay at Jemma and Brett’s in Shoal bay. 8 mins walk to the beach, perfect for kids, calm water. Must eat at Atmos- food is incredible. And tomaree walk is stunning as is the walk to wreck beach. Their place is perfect. Clearly a lot of thought has gone into the interior- lovely touches, really clean. We had an issue with the washing machine when we were there and Jemma communicated promptly and Brett came to take a look which was hugely appreciated. Wonderful stay, would not hesitate to recommend to others. Thank you both

Beautiful view over the bay which was relatively private, short walk to beach and short drive to the shops. It had everything we needed for a lovely weekend away with the family. It has a modern coastal vibe and theme and would definitely consider staying again!

This ground floor apartment was surprisingly even more luxurious than the photos. It was a perfect size and location for our tribe. Apart from the uncleaned BBQ and a light gas bottle, we couldn't fault it. Lori was very responsive and proactive on the BBQ oversight and had a cleaner rectify the issue the following day. We would definitely stay here again. Lori was a pleasure to deal with.

A beautiful two bedroom apartment, tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean and equipped with every possible amenity to ensure a very comfortable stay. Tracy provided comprehensive instructions re arrival and departure and also a long list of recommendations for dining and sightseeing in the area, which were very much appreciated. Sage is a truly 5 star property in every aspect and I thoroughly recommend Ahoy Forster to the Airbnb community.

Thanks so muck Nicky. It was a really special time with my mum and sister visiting from England and your place was a real highlight and a memory we will cherish forever. We said the best air bnb we have ever had !

This place was perfect for our family weekend getaway! The location was great, close to everything we wanted to see and do. The apartment was clean, comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. Insa was incredibly responsive. Highly recommend!

Lovely modernised apartment, with great amenities, walking distance to the centre of Port, perfect for our two nights there. Thanks for a great stay!

I would thoroughly recommend a stay at this beautiful airbnb accommodation! It is spacious, beautifully decorated, well equipped kitchen & spotlessly clean. Lovely relaxing outdoor area to chill & enjoy a drink. A very informative book on places to eat, places to visit & a lot of local information. Veronica is a wonderful host!

Five star property, would highly recommend. Best air b & b we have stayed in. Even better than the photos as everything is top quality. Lots of extra touches were greatly appreciated. Wish we could have stayed longer and wouldn’t hesitate to return if we are ever lucky enough to visit the area again. Karen, Jim and family from Cheshire, England

great place in a out of the way corner of Port Stephens. Very quite spot with little traffic and next to zero noise at night time. 2 excellent surf beaches are close by with a snorkelling paradise at the end of the street. endless rocky coast line to explore with kids. I love the area and the house just feels like a beach holiday.

We had a wonderful stay at Roger’s place! The house was clean, just as described, with plenty of space for resting and a great location - close to the supermarket and everything my family and I needed. I loved hearing the birds in the mornings and afternoons; it made the stay even more relaxing. Roger was a very kind host, incredibly flexible with check-in times, and patient with all my questions, especially about my worries regarding the cyclone in NSW. His responsiveness made me feel at ease. I would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful property, excellent host, great location. Do yourself a favour and book this asap!!

Natalie and Chris' home could not have been more ideal. A fabulous getaway with the fur baby. The home was ideal for our requirements, in a great location. The decor, fittings and beds were perfect. A quiet area with amenities less than a 5 minutes walk away.

We had a ferocious storm and Roxy turned up to check on us! Lovely responsive hosts and a great house! We will be back.

Such a beautiful home in a pristine place. We felt right at home here. Lovely house for my family to relax and unwind. The pool was beautiful and really allowed us to spend quality time together. Couldn’t recommend this place more. Karen was an amazing host who was very responsive and informative with great tips

Kerry was such a lovely, friendly host, we felt so at home and looked after. A beautiful space, great location, and beautiful amenities (well stocked gym with weights, pool, basement parking etc.) with lots of thoughtful touches. We’d happily return.

Wow what a fantastic apartment in a brilliant location with all the amenities you could possibly ask for. Probably the best Airbnb we have stayed in pound for pound and we've stayed in a few around the world! We loved it and our our stay in ☀️ Port Maquarie.

Absolutely incredible views! I’ve recommend this place to friends and family, very clean and can not fault it at all. Grant was a pleasure to deal with! definitely would book again 🙂

Ali and Isaac’s place was great. We stayed for 3 nights with 2 kids. The beds were actually comfortable for a change! The pool was a bonus to wash off after visiting the beach which is just up the road. Cafes just around the corner and only 2 kms from where a lot of the fishing charters leave the wharfs. They were very responsive and helpful, probably the best one I’ve stayed at yet. Thanks guys. We would definitely come back again.
