Vacation rentals with lake access in Beara Peninsula

Amazing stay! Accurate description of the house and amenities, beautiful property, cozy and welcoming home. Noreen was super sweet and accommodating!

Paul’s place is truly one of a kind! We had the most wonderful stay and cannot wait to return. The lake view is even better than the pictures show and the surroundings are simply stunning. The house itself has everything you need to feel at home and the beds are extremely comfortable. Paul couldn’t have been a better host and replied almost instantly to every message. We genuinely had the best stay. Highly recommend!

Anne was a most hospitable host she meet us at the home and went through everything made she all our questions had been answered she also gave suggestions on places to see and places to dine. The home was very clean and welcoming Anne had the firer going which made it nice and comfortable. The views from this home are breathtaking, I have never seen such beauty no mater which direction I looked. The beds were comfortable we had restful sleep every night, I wish we had booked for our whole stay in Ireland, but now we know for our next trip. If you choose to stay here you will not be disappointed. Anne is the best host ever!!!

Really lovely place, had a slight problem with the lock box jamming on check in (no fault of their own) but the host resolved within minutes of calling. Very modern and beautifully furnished. Really nice touch by host to leave tea, coffee, Milk and cereal etc. Shampoo, Shower gel and Deodorant also provided! Will definitely stay again. Great for a group of friends or a big family!

We fell in love with this house. It’s in a beautifully secluded spot with direct access to the water. We swam each morning and it was bliss. The layout of the house is great, with a large open plan kitchen, dining and living room and a gorgeous deck that gets the sun. The surrounding area is stunning. We particularly liked the Buddhist centre and vegetarian cafe, which is in a gorgeous spot with breathtaking views. Would love to go back and spend more time exploring.

Having stayed at a dozen Airbnb’s in Ireland, this was a big departure from the traditional to a comfortable, spacious contemporary space. It was so thoughtfully designed. I think it’s better than the photos. Location was so close to Kenmare. The mornings you can stare out of the large windows onto a beautiful yard. Judy was probably the most responsive host ever.

We enjoyed our short 2 night stay. Short walk to the water and surroundings were so beautiful. Area is nice and quiet. Bedrooms were comfortable and spacious.

We had a pleasant and peaceful stay in Noreen and Phil’s house during the Easter weekend. They have been always super responsive in helping us with tips and recommendations. I would certainly recommend to stay at their place if you want to discover Kerry and its wonderful beaches.

It was a great experience

Host was very responsive and there was clear instructions on checking in and out. Very nice location.

Bernice was fantastic! She showed us around and gave us great recommendations, will definitely stay here again. The house was better than expected!

I stayed at Brian's place for six weeks and was looking for peace and quite so I could read and reflect. I also like walking, particularly in wilderness areas. The location, being just outside Killarney was perfect. The flat was private and the Killarney National Park, which is extensive, was only a short drive away. I also used this accommodation as a base for visiting other places: Ring of Kerry, Dingle, Tralee and Cork, which were not that far away. The trains are great, and I used them to travel to Tralee and Cork. The flat itself was ideal with bedroom, kitchen-sitting room and bathroom, which had all the necessary things. Heating, internet and TV were excellent. Brian and his wife were very accommodating and responded quickly to any questions I had. At the same time, they respected my privacy. I had a wonderful stay there and highly recommend to others.

Stylish, quirky, beautiful decor with expensive appliances throughout. The kitchen area had everything you could wish for with a 4 gas-hotplates and an electric oven. The bathroom had two types of shower heads and the water was lovely and warm. The studio smelled damp on arrival but this changed quickly once we had put on the heating and aired the room. The television has hundreds of stations and the place was private. There is access to a private, rocky beach across the road. John was very attentive, and we were greeted by fresh raisin bread, a local cheese, rye crackers, butter and milk in the fridge. Mitsy, the dog, felt welcome as well and we could not have asked for more. We could not have asked for more!

A gem in an oasis of calm... and that's just the host! This is a rare-find Airbnb, a great location, an extremely well thought-out apartment, comfortable and spotlessly clean, with an absolute gent for a host. Stefan was so welcoming and helpful throughout our stay, yet always respected our peace and quiet too and, yes, as others have said, he had indeed baked a lovely pear and almond cake to settle us in! His care for his guests' enjoyment is really genuine and heartwarming, and nothing is too much trouble, and he quietly went about helping us, on a few occasions, with no fuss. One lovely aspect of the place is that Stefan provides several different places where guests can sit out to enjoy the sun and the view at different times of the day. This is now one of our most favourite Airbnbs - highly recommended. Oh, and the restaurant Cent' Anni in the nearby Durrus village is an absolute must for exquisite pizzas - honestly!

Fantastic stay in Killarney. at walking distance to the convention centre and also really close to the local amenities. the house felt like home el equipped and sided for our party of 4 adults. Great spot to park and loads of space to store our luggage. we felt looked after all the weekend although it was all virtual but we knew they were there if needed. Thank you for a memorable stay.

What an amazing place, we feel truly fortunate to have had the opportunity to stay here. The property itself is amazingly well presented and has everything you need to get away from it all in a beautiful location. Patrick was a fantastic host it was great to meet him very briefly on our final evening and he should be very proud of his property and you can see why it is booked up months in advance.

We had such a lovely, relaxing and convivial time staying in Caroline’s cottage. Leap is a quirky little village and the surrounding area of West Cork is absolutely beautiful. This has been my second time staying in this air bnb and I couldn’t recommend it enough!

We had a glorious few days in Julie’s beautiful cottage. We stayed there many years ago and the cottage and gardens were as lovely and as well kept as we remember. Lots of beautiful walks and cycles from our doorstep, not to mention the views from the cottage. We were sorry to leave but hope to return again.

We've had a wonderful stay at Melisa's house. The house is huge and has plenty of space. The kitchen is well equipped and has everything you may need for cooking and enough dishes even for a very big group. There is a big covered balcony, perfect for a quiet evening with a cup of tea. You will need a car to get there but it is only 10-15 minutes drive from the nearest town. We have enjoyed the beautiful quiet surroundings. The house has access to a lake if you feel brave enough to go for a dip. There is plenty to do around for those who enjoy nature. Most sites on the Ring of Kerry are within 1 hour drive max. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend this property for anyone who wants to discover this beautiful part of Ireland

Functional accommodation in a wonderful setting by a lake between the sea and the mountains. Breeda has always been responsive

I have stayed in this cottage quite a few times over the years - and I always enjoy it immensely. The cottage is lovely, decorated in a style that suits its age, and set in the most stunning scenery. It feels as though you're in the middle of nowhere - it is so quiet the deer come right up to the patch of grass in front of the house in the evenings and there are so many different birds it's almost like an orchestra - but you're definitely not: There are two good restaurants in the area, a nice pub near a harbour, a lunchroom in gorgeous gardens and a very well stocked shop-and-tearoom only a 20 minute drive away. So yes, I will come again!

great stay at the cottage with me and my family. would definitely stay again if the host will have me.

We wanted to see West Cork for the Brigid's Day bank holiday weekend, and Michael's place was nicely located between Cork City and Kinsale to the east and places like Mizen Head and the Beara peninsula to the west, with Skibbereen right down the road. Before arrival, Michael provides a house guide, which is very handy considering mobile coverage is highly unlikely when you get to the cottage. But once you're inside, the WiFi was quite good. The unit itself had all the essentials. Plenty of room on the ground floor to enjoy a meal or watch some telly, with a fire stove to warm you up and gas radiators as a backup. Bedroom was cozy and plenty of room. Bathroom had plenty of room and good lighting. Shower itself is great, but the space is a bit tight for larger people. Michael is a great host that is responsive and provides loads of great recommendations. He pointed out a trad fest in town when we arrived, which was very enjoyable! This is the place for a cozy cottage stay in Cork!
