H3 Port Stephens - Absolute Waterfront Luxury

H3 Port Stephens is a luxurious waterfront duplex located on the absolute beachfront in Corlette. H3 is located on a picturesque white, sandy beach with breathtaking views over the glistening waters of Port Stephens harbour. This exclusive alcove has calm, protected waters making it ideal for children, relaxing dips and water activities. H3 sleeps up to eight guests (MAX 6 adults).

H3’s classic architecture and elegant, yet relaxed, coastal style exudes opulent beach house vibes. Cook up holiday feasts on the terrace BBQ while you watch glorious sunsets over the water. There’s a lovely strip of grassy verge between H3 and the sand, perfect for picnics and games with the kids. The beach is idyllic and being a harbour-side beach, and protected from the prevailing winds in summer, the calm water is perfect for kids of all ages. The children will be entertained for hours building sandcastles, swimming and playing games on the beach and grass.

On the ground floor the open plan lounge, dining and fully equipped kitchen all overlook the beach and blue waters. The living and dining room flow out to a large alfresco entertaining terrace, with BBQ, dining table and sun lounges. The terrace has a few steps down to the grassy reserve and the enticing sand of the beach is just metres away. There’s also a powder room on the ground level and an outdoor shower. The first floor has three bedrooms. The master bedroom has an ensuite, TV, queen size bed and water views. Bedroom two also has water views, a TV and queen size bed. Bedroom three has a TV and two long, zip single beds, which can be joined together to make a king sized bed.

Amazing location
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had the most amazing stay at H3. The view was so incredibly beautiful and the location is so great - water straight out the front door and a 5-10 min drive to everything else. The house is even more beautiful than the photos. It’s a great place for the kids - the bay is really protected so the water is really really calm and it’s also quite shallow which was perfect for our 2 and 4 year old. We had a small issue with the ceiling fans during our stay but the property manager was very responsive and arranged to get it fixed really quickly, which we were really grateful for. We will definitely stay here again!

Expensive stay ! Not value for money
Great location! Lovely beach front. Family Had a good break . Dishwasher did not work properly and leaked all over the floor. Had to manually wash up . Small dirty oven . Reviews said very clean. Not clean. Most dishes in draws were chipped and not functional as were glass. Could not cook due to dirty oven. Dirty dishes in draws . Dirty pots. Dirty showers ! Not good on holidays. I had to clean myself and mop up water from dish washer! Kitchen needs a makeover . Love the area but won’t be back to this property! Will stay at corlette beautiful spot and very relaxing. Duplex not suitable as shared access to beach and very close to other property. Not private. Feel we overpaid and deposit bond was taken much too early. 4/10 stay

Lovely long weekend
This was our third stay here over the years and as previously, we thoroughly enjoyed our time at H3. It didn’t matter that the sun wasn’t out the whole time we were always able to enjoy the space. We had lots of plans to be out for breakfasts and lunches but we enjoyed the space so much we preferred to just stay in the home and enjoy it. Our kids were on the paddle boards all weekend and enjoyed it thoroughly - thank you!

Excellent place to relax, enjoy nature and family
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: My wife and 2 kids (4 and 1.5yr) had an amazing time. House is very comfortable for 1 family. There are 3 beds and we only used 2 so if you have few extra kids you will be fine. Another positive is the location - apart from being right at the beach you 5 min drive to all the major shops, restaurants and recreational places. From 4WD at Anna Bay to Go Kart and more. Plenty to do when it's sunny and also when weather is not so good.

Reviewer Comments: the house is exactly how it is in the photos; well managed and very tidy with the beach just few steps away. we had bbq outside while watching the sunset and we definitely enjoyed the paddle board available in the house. my niece loved the spa bath and there were 2 spacious bedrooms with tv, ceiling fan and ducted ac and a master’s bedroom with ensuite which screams both luxury and comfort. every detail of the house is well thought of and i admire the wall art pieces on every room. location is great with a shopping centre nearby and just few mins drive to shoal bay for few more water activities and mt tomaree in which the view from the top is breath taking! check in and check out is hassle free; we surely love our stay and will definitely be back

Best ever!
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Such an amazing location right on the beach. Boys enjoyed beach cricket and going on the paddle boards (provided). We saw dolphins almost every morning and evening. Place is extremely well equipped and a great layout. Everyone we met was extremely friendly and it couldn’t have been more perfect.Close enough to Nelson Bay to ride your bike or pop in by car to The Little Nel or the marina for a bite to eat or activities/shopping. Supermarkets 2min away. So many things to do in the area. Best thing though was just enjoying the beach and views. We stayed during one of the Ashes test matches, so the spotlight that we could turn on to shine onto the grass and beach was awesome for the kids to keep batting into the evening.Highly recommend for a relaxing family holiday.

Amazing view! Perfect for a holiday with kids
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Pros:- View was amazing!- Fully equiped house. Paddle board was great for some fun and beach behind the house felt so private and amazing for a holiday with a toddler.- Toboggan park was 10 mins away and everything else was within 20 mins away. Location was great.- Clean and spacious rooms. Cons:- When we went the internet was hopeless could not watch netflix or browse without constant interruption on our phones. Not sure if it was just those couple of days because we mentioned it to the cleaners as we left and they said apparently the area had some issues? - Owner lives next door and felt like big brother was watching as we got a text at 5 am and 2 am to switch the spotlight at the back of the house off. We obey all rules and maybe there should be a red tape on the light switch or instructions not to press certain light switches next time. I mean any visitor to the house would be navigating which switch turns on which light. -

Mixed experience
Pros - stunning location - lovely house - generally very well appointed (although a king bed is desperate needed in the master bedroom at this level of accommodation) - paddle boards were an excellent inclusion Cons - there is very little privacy or sound buffering from the owners next door when you are outside - the owner’s children had an extremely loud party one afternoon/ night/ the next morning, swearing, yelling and singing drinking songs extremely loudly - this continued to some extent the next morning with loud belching, swearing and very loud conversation - we felt unable to go outside or to the water as they were so disgusting and were heckling passers by - the management company didn’t respond at all despite us ringing/ texting and emailing - the owners did eventually agree to an extra nights accommodation (which ended up not suiting our plans/ a refund for that night would have been more appropriate) but didn’t apologize despite being next door, which made us think that they weren’t overly concerned about the impact on our holiday and probably wouldn’t prevent it happening again to someone else - given that there are lots of rules about noise and visitors in terms of renting the property, we were fairly shocked that this happened Overall, a really lovely place to visit and we would book again if we could be guaranteed that there wouldn’t be any parties next door.
