Endeavour, 3/13 Ondine Cl - large three bedroom unit with filtered water views
Your Port Stephens escape, done properly — steps to a stunning beach, with all the space and comfort you need to truly switch off. Sitting on the entire top floor of a quiet three-unit complex, The Endeavour is a bright, breezy three-bedroom apartment tucked into one of the most enviable positions located between Little Beach and Shoal Bay. Quiet location with a quick walk to Shoal Bay Country Club or Little Beach Boathouse.
Slip out the back garden to the beach track and you're less than 100 metres from the white sands of Shoal Bay Beach — no roads to cross, just a beautiful tree-lined path with access to the beach. Head the other direction and the calm, sheltered waters of Little Beach are a short stroll away. Two very different beaches, both right on your doorstep — you'll find yourself debating which one to visit each morning.
Light, Space and a Balcony Worth Lingering On - The open-plan living area is filled with natural light, sea breezes, floor-to-ceiling windows, and comfortable, well-appointed interiors throughout. Dual sliding doors open to a balcony fitted with outdoor lounge and dining settings — the kind of spot you'll find hard to leave. A wall-mounted TV rounds things out for quieter evenings in.
The kitchen is well-equipped with a stainless steel oven and stovetop, dishwasher, microwave, and generous bench space. The dining area opens to a second balcony with a gas BBQ — the perfect spot to linger over a coffee or fire up a lazy weekend breakfast outdoors.
Three Comfortable Bedrooms
• Main bedroom — Queen bed, filtered water views, TV, and a private ensuite • Bedroom 2 — Queen bed with its own private balcony, a lovely spot for a morning coffee in peace • Bedroom 3 — Two single beds, comfortable and well-appointed for guests or extra travellers
The main bathroom features a shower over bath, and there's an internal laundry with washing machine and dryer — a genuine convenience for longer stays. One undercover car space included.
A Location That Sells Itself - As the sun goes down, you're spoiled for choice — grab a drink at the Little Beach Boathouse and keep an eye on the water for dolphins, or settle in at the iconic Shoal Bay Country Club where the views never get old. Both are an easy walk from the apartment. The Inner Lighthouse Café serves exceptional scones with views across the bay that are hard to beat — a perfect morning stop. Nelson Bay's marina, boutique shops, and restaurants are just five minutes by car.
For the more adventurous, Mt Tomaree's summit walk and the coral gardens at Fly Point are both within easy reach. With some of the NSW coast's most beautiful beaches just minutes away, you'll have no shortage of stretches to explore — from the calm, sheltered waters of Little Beach and Dutchies Beach to the rolling surf of Fingal Bay and beyond.
The Endeavour is the kind of place that makes you book the return trip before you've even checked out.

Everything was perfect, but it would be nice if there was wifi to complete the experience.
Overall the property was good.
Steps leading to the unit were very slippery and dangerous. So much so, I slipped and fell to the bottom of the set. Bruising & grazing my right arm.
A simple solution would be to have grip strips installed in each step.
