Beachfront holiday rental in Bantry Bay

Gabriel's place is fantastic. I'm sure alot of hard work went into getting it to such a lovely standard. We were honored to stay there and would recommend to anyone. Thanks Gabriel. Steve & Joanna

Absolutely wonderful place with a beautiful garden. It is right on the shoreline and I loved grabbing the chance to pop in for a swim whenever I felt like it. Stephanie was really friendly and helpful. It is a great base for exploring the area and we loved coming back in the evenings to a little oasis of peace.

Great place to visit has it all

Beautiful house in a stunning location right beside the pier on Sherkin Island. Excellent facilities in the house and really comfortable.

What a lovely serene place located on the shores of the peninsula with beautiful scenery, the perfect place for exploring the Beara peninsula. Thank you Rose for your warm welcome and hospitality!

I had an amazing week here. The location is perfect -it's a beautiful wild part of Kerry with stunning scenery and lots of beaches. Michelle's place is located right on the beach in Ballinskelligs - you just walk across the garden and down some steps. There's a café about 10 minutes walk along the beach where I got my coffee every morning. Reenroe beach nearby is also beautiful for a longer walk. The house itself is so lovely, it's clean and comfortable with lots of beach themed decor. The kitchen is well equipped and the living area has comfy sofas and a big TV. The bed I slept in was like a big soft hug and I fell asleep to the sound of the waves every night. Definitely a holiday to remember! Thanks Michelle.

Anthony’s house is great base for exploring the Sheep’s Head peninsula. It’s is in a very quiet and beautiful location by the sea, with a lively pub only a short drive away. The house was perfect for our family group of four adults and dog. We hope to return.

We loved the place. Our view all day is the Ring of Kerry. Great location specially if you have a dog, If you fancy a pint there are several dog friendly pubs 5 minutes walk away. Great stay

A great find and great value for money.

Absolutely loved staying at Karin's place! The attention to detail was truly impressive - from the thoughtful welcome treats to the carefully curated amenities, it was clear that Karin had put a lot of love and care into creating a special experience for guests. The space itself was beautifully decorated and perfectly maintained, making it feel like a home away from home. Karin was also super responsive and accommodating, making the whole stay feel seamless and stress-free. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming place to stay - thanks Karin for a wonderful experience!

Admiral House was the perfect spot for family getaway on beautiful Bere Island. The house was clean and had every amenity needed including a stroller and high chair for a toddler. Lots to explore on the island and there are 2 local ferries for day trips to Beara Peninsula. The host and her grandma were so kind dropping off Irish bread and a quiche. All in all a lovely visit would highly recommend for a quiet relaxing time.

Perfect accommodation in the perfect place - just wish I could give more than 5 stars!!! Stunning place to stay, stunning location, stunning area - we are already planning our return visit for next year. Every room is perfect and comfortable, superbly stacked kitchen and an amazing garden - the seals popped up to say hello ever morning!!! Genuinely brilliant, wouldn't hesitate to recommend and like I said, we will be back next year!!!

Just got home from a fabulous week long stay at Lansdowne Cottage. The place is beautiful and so well located for day trips throughout the South West of Ireland. Although "off the beaten path" it was easy to find with Claire's directions, the eircode, and the proximity to Beara Camping. Located on the same road as the Uragh Stone Circle and the Gleninchaquin Park, both of which are simply magical and breathtaking sights. Claire and Ashley were very welcoming and checked in several times (they live next door and work in the gardens on the grounds). The house was lovely. We cooked a lot in the wonderful kitchen and appreciated the emphasis on compost and recycling. It was warm enough while we were there that we never used the heating, but it might have taken some practice to understand how to properly utilize the wood fuel system.

One of the most beautiful accommodations I've ever been to. Absolutely clean and cozy (the fireplace was already prepared, we just had to light it!). We sat on the sofa for hours, listening to the silence and watching the sea and the many animals. The journey is also not a problem with the help of the good explanatory videos. Just drive slowly and pay attention to the instructions.

This us honestly a hidden gem. The location is perfect to venture out and explore Kerry. The house itself was even better than expected - fully equipped, spotless clean and with everything one could ask for. Maureen and Phil communicated super proactive, quickly and very helpful. overall would book again definitely!

We had a wonderful stay at Susan’s beautiful home — it had everything we needed. Each evening, we loved taking in the spectacular ocean views from the panorama window. The house is just a few steps from the beach, with plenty of lovely walks to explore in the surrounding area. Within a short 10-minute drive, you’ll find yourself in the village, where there are charming restaurants, supermarkets, and EV chargers. It’s a perfect base for enjoying both nature and local amenities.

Beautiful part of the country, stunning location, amazing house. All you could ask for.

We loved ever second of our stay here. Perfect for a big family/group holiday.. the house was spotless, spacious and the kitchen was equipped with everything you could possibly need. There was a gorgeous welcome basket waiting for us with bubbly, cheeses, chocolate, coffee, etc. - a very nice touch that was much appreciated! Beautiful outdoor area with brand new bbq and seats, over looking amazing views of the sea. Sitting room was very cosy with stove which was used most nights! All bedrooms were very comfortable and showers were 10/10. There was very much a luxurious feel to the place with a lot of attention to detail - like great quality towels and linen, diffusers, etc.! Location wise , 5-10 mins from ballydehob- ideal for coffees in the AM, and 10 mins from Schull with nice lunch spots and pub! We can’t wait to come back! Exceeded our expectations! Thank you Gillian!

The photos do not do this place justice. It’s an extraordinary setting. Incredibly peaceful and stunning scenery all around. Our party had three kids under 9 and seven adults ranging from 39-83 and we all got exactly what we wanted from the stay. The kids had the beach and rocks to explore for fish and crabs, the parents had the views and peace and quiet to unwind. If you’re looking for somewhere to unwind then look no further.

We stayed in Dave’s home for 3 nights but wanted to stay forever. The home is well equipped, cosy, cool artwork and loads of records to listen to. The mature garden is stunning to relax in and look over the ocean. Down the end of the garden is steps to the beach where we spent the whole weekend swimming and kayaking - absolute heaven! We brought a kayak but there was even one for us to use at the house! It’s literally beside a lovely little pub and a few minutes walk from a restaurant (the mussels are so fresh and tasty!). We enjoyed every minute and Dave was a fantastic host. Thanks! Robin & Danny

An elegant house in a truly beautiful location. Our whole family (toddlers to grandparents) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lough Hyne. Tim, the property manager, could not have been more helpful and responsive to any requests. Missing it already and definitely would stay there again another year!

Alan and Elaine are unbelievable hosts. Trust me you get way more than what you pay for in this place. Words can’t express how awesome and majestic the view is of Lough Guitane. Two families (4 adults and 7 kids ages 5-14) stayed six nights and saw a lot of the area thanks to Alan and his awesome recommendations. Five large bedrooms give us plenty of room for everyone. Plenty of very nice and well kept washrooms, a wonderfully large kitchen and sitting areas facing the lake with gigantic floor to ceiling windows give you a great view of the lake. The kids appreciated the gaming systems in the “second” sitting room. There were plenty of toys outside to play with. The kids spent a lot of time on these outdoor toys (racing trikes and mini tractors etc). If you’re into animals, you’re in for a treat as the sheep, cows, ducks and hens were all visiting in their neighbouring pasture regularly. The kids loved checking on them and even gave them names. The water is a very short walk down to the beach (perhaps 100m) on the same property. From there you can canoe or kayak (provided by the hosts) or even swim, which we all did with regularity. I strongly recommend hiking mangerton mountain, which is a five min drive away. Laundry room, kitchen supplies, freezer, spices, there was everything we needed. What a wonderful place to stay! Highly recommend.

My family loved being here for Christmas. It is one of the most beautiful settings we’ve ever seen and so incredibly peaceful. We cooked every day and found the kitchen very well appointed for our family of five.

Craig and Claudia gave us and our dog a wonderful welcome to Heir island. Heir island is one of the few truly unspoiled spots in ireland and is well worth a visit and an explore. It's a short ferry ride from Cunnamore pier and once on the island the walk to Roaring Water Lodge is an easy 10-15 minute stroll. Despite there only being a handful of cars on the little island, there is always a car available to take bags and to offer a lift too if you don't fancy the walk, but we recommend the walk. Pizzas made to order in their outdoor fire are delicious and the breakfasts plentiful and delicious too. A lovely range of breads, fruits and cereals and the Full Irish available too. Clean comfortable rooms and powerful showers to wash down the salt from the fresh Atlantic dip! Friendly and relaxed rooms within the accommodation allows everyone to enjoy their own space or to mingle and share stories. Craig and Claudia are relaxed hosts working away in the background, always happy to chat and to provide extra tips and information on the local area. We highly recommend a stay in this fab little spot, especially if you need to bring your canine friend (provided they enjoy sea travel)! They will love Heir island too!
