Great spot. We had a lovely holiday.
Location is perfect. Across from the beach and a short walk to shops. House was very roomy for our family of 6 and had everything we needed, including beach umbrellas, a beach chair and games for the kids. Such a lovely break.

Fabulous house...
This house had everything you could possibly need for a short or long stay. Great location, walk to shops and beach. Our trip was just for the weekend for a family wedding but would definitely love to go back for a longer stay.

We had a fantastic time at ocean stays beach house.
The property is clean and well maintained. So close to beach that we couldn’t expect anymore. We found everything in the house that we needed. We were very impressed with the cleaning protocol. Balcony views were fantastic and the family enjoyed morning and evening chats sitting there. Above all, the host was very approachable, within minutes we had a response to our request and query. Thanks Sandy for making our stay so comfortable and memorable.

Amazing Host, Fantastic House, Hidden Paradise!
So close to the Beach, Parks and Shops, so once here no need for a car. The house and cabin provided space for our extended family to gather for the Easter Break with enough room to be together and apart if needed. Travelling with babies can be tricky and this house accommodated them extremely well. All facilities were very clean and comfortable and made to feel more like a home than a holiday house. The little extras (including the Wine and Chocolates) were immensely appreciated. The kitchen is very well equipped. The veranda was enjoyed by all morning, noon, and night with most meals being eaten there. Sandy was simply amazing throughout the whole process, from booking the stay, arranging a payment plan, answering questions prior to arrival and prompt replies/action to queries whilst there. We feel she went above and beyond to make our stay fantastic. Our family had so much fun in this little piece of paradise. We all would love to go back.

Excellent Experience for a short getaway from Sydney Highly recommend!
We were so blown away number one by the location, right on the beach. The house is huge with 3 outdoor seating areas. The top floor has an amazing view of the surf. So many beds and 2 seperate TV areas everyone had enough space to play together and find solace. It is a short 5 min stroll to all shops inc woolies Aldi BWS and a number of excellent take away shops there is no need to cook at all even though it has a fully functional kitchen downstairs. We had lunch next door at Margarita Daze which had incredible views all the way back to Palm Beach and a well priced seafood menu that ticked all the boxes. The area was quiet yet central. Sandy the owner was so helpful and friendly. We couldn't rate this higher and it changed my idea of what Umina has to offer. We can't wait to come back and stay here again and make this a tradition. We were 3 seperate families (3 mums and all our kids) Value for money and happy kids ages ranging from 2.5 through to 15 even with no internet. Everyone enjoyed themselves.

Fantastic location a stone’s throw away from Umina beach and a short stroll to shops/restaurants. The house is exactly as described and pictured, spacious, clean and well-maintained. Highly recommend brekky on the balcony, soaking in the sun and listening to the waves crash. Sandy is an excellent host. Quick to respond to all my queries and even gave us a late check-out so we were well-rested for our long drive home. Wine and chocs were a lovely surprise.

Very comfortable and suited our needs well
Hi Sandy - we had a very pleasant stay. Very clean and comfortable. Appreciated the supply of basics in the pantry and toilet paper, soap etc. We had a little difficulty opening the keylock, took force with a metal object (key). I think there is a small leak in the upstairs shower, or possibly from the cistern. One morning I noticed a water trail from between the shower and toilet. Glad you had the upstairs bed made up as we had not realised the single bedroom downstairs would be so small. We were relieved though that the upstairs bathroom is two-way (perhaps this could be mentioned on your website ?). One night I had difficulty sleeping because the wind rattled the windows all night - this was in the Q bedroom off the upstairs bathroom). I fixed it the following night by stuffing it with paper. Overall though, we found it a very good place to stay. Thank you. Gwen.

Excellent position with plenty of room and off-street parking
Well located very close to Ocean Beach and a short walk to Umina shops and a restaurant next door. Excellent for large family holiday or extended family time out together. Was very impressed with all the little extras that were provided. Examples included tomato sauce, honey, vegemite and even frozen fishing bait in the fridge as well as a range of teas and coffee. Forgot about the coffee machine which we did not have time to use plus the wine and chocolates which were an unexpected treat.
