The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were a family group of 5 adults plus a 9 yo and 2 yo and had a great time at tranquil waters. The weather was very warm during our stay but being right on the water we always had a sea breeze to cool us down. Sometimes the wind was too strong to open the doors but it was welcome. Holden were safe on the front lawn and we loved the convenience of walking to the sailing club for coffee or to Bannisters for a meal. There is a nearby wharf to fish from to entertain the kids. Not really suitable for swimming at the front of the house due to weed in the water. Need to travel to other port Stephens beaches to swim. Downside was large ($1500) security deposit, spiders in the garden, dead mouse on the interior lawn and the fact that the bed linen etc was at the front door on arrival. Needed to call the manager to get beds made etc. ##### Jeff S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark D. 29 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy ##### Mark D.

The vacation rental was very clean. 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: Overall it was a nice trip. We like the beach front experience. The house doesn't have air-conditioning, so it was a big issue for sleeping at one hot night. The host should consider to install the air-conditioning at least at upper level bedroom and the living room. ##### A guest from Macquirier Park, NSW This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Grant G. 6 Sept 2023 #### Great Family Getaway 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: Stayed at Tranquil Waters as part of a family weekend away. The house was great , giving some private space if required along with plenty of space to socialise together, house being on the water a real bonus, and not far from shops and places to eat. Would definately come back ##### Grant G. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Fairmont-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h522363.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Hunter Valley Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pokolbin-Hotels-Mercure-Resort-Hunter-Valley-Gardens.h1877968.Hotel-Information) > > [Kangaroo Island Wilderness Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Karatta-Hotels-Kangaroo-Island-Wilderness-Retreat.h2041654.Hotel-Information) > > [By The Sea Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-By-The-Sea-Port-Douglas.h3024406.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritage Trail Lodge Margaret River](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margaret-River-Hotels-Heritage-Trail-Lodge-Margaret-River.h9624427.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Ningaloo Reef Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coral-Bay-Hotels-Ningaloo-Reef-Resort.h4257765.Hotel-Information) > > [Lilianfels Resort & Spa - Blue Mountains](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Lilianfels-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h872.Hotel-Information) > > [Torquay Foreshore Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Torquay-Foreshore-Caravan-Park.h6001296.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Seychelles](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Seychelles-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d159-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Mandalay Luxury Beachfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Mandalay-Luxury-Beachfront-Apartments.h2648804.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lost Camel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yulara-Hotels-The-Lost-Camel.h4805954.Hotel-Information) > > [Ozone Hotel Kangaroo Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kingscote-Hotels-Aurora-Ozone-Hotel.h2737459.Hotel-Information) > > [Rochester Riverside Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Rochester-Riverside-Caravan-Park.h65341713.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Mirage-Resort.h8065.Hotel-Information) > > [Ember Locke Kensington](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Ember-Locke.h93318569.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Airlie-Beach.h2802992.Hotel-Information) > > [Bannisters Port Stephens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soldiers-Point-Hotels-Bannisters-Port-Stephens.h27355893.Hotel-Information) > > [Exmouth Escape Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exmouth-Hotels-Exmouth-Escape-Resort.h4032424.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Utilita Arena Sheffield](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Utilita-Arena-Sheffield-Hotels.0-l6088133-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [The Carrington Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Carrington-Hotel.h474003.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Resort Torquay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Wyndham-Resort-Torquay.h1927122.Hotel-Information) > > [Coral Sea Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Coral-Sea-Marina-Resort.h1047180.Hotel-Information) > > [Heron Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heron-Island-Hotels-Heron-Island-Resort.h1636471.Hotel-Information) > > [Glamping at Truffle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gretna-Hotels-Truffle-Lodge.h22239606.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Mia-Hotels-RAC-Monkey-Mia-Dolphin-Resort.h2650828.Hotel-Information) ### Packages > [New Zealand Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-Zealand.d133.Holidays-City-Breaks)
