The Penthouse Apt at Harveys Dock
The apartment, was spacious, clean and tidy. The views from the balcony were stunning. Watching the sun rise and set over the Blackwater river was the perfect start and end to the day. Close to supermarkets and the main shopping and restaurants. Will definitely, return to this apartment in the future.

Panoramic Two-bedroom Penthouse
We had a lovely stay at the penthouse which has beautiful views of the sea from the balcony. The place was very clean and comfortable. Good location out of the city centre for visiting county Cork. We would highly recommend.

Seafinn lodge
Our stay at Seafinn Lodge was beyond wonderful. Shirley greeted us with a warm welcome, offering a walk up along her property among the sheep with stunning views of the surrounding Irish countryside and Bantry Bay. The apartment was super clean, spacious and bright. We really appreciated the coffee, tea and milk! It’s perfectly located on a quite lot a few minutes drive from Bantry with a Lidl store nearby. Shirley gave us a great recommendation for a pub in Bantry where we met a local man who knew of my husband’s family and helped guide us to where they may have lived. We love Ireland and Shirley and John confirmed just how special the Irish are. A highly recommended place to stay!

Ballyroe - 3 bedroom apartment in rural West Cork
we had a very comfortable night stay at Fabienne's place, the firebox in the living room was wonderful after driving for several hours in torrential rain. We also really liked the well set out kitchen and dining area. cooking meals was straightforward.

Pier view.
I visited Aiden's accommodation in Castletownbere and was pleasantly surprised with the setup. Worked 100% for me. 2 minutes away from town center and easily accessible. Kitchen, bathroom and bedroom were very clean and well managed. Aiden was very helpful with the accommodation and check in. It was my first time in Castletownbere and was great full for Aiden that helped me with all the details of the town. The most important aspect of my stay was that the apartment was very clean and had a nice view of the Harbour as well as easy access to the town center. Can't find any fault with his accommodation and feel I got value for my money. His accommodation was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you Aiden I appreciate.

Lighthouse keepers; Home of the year finalist
This is the most unique and amazing Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in and we had a lovely time here. Rich in history and immaculately decorated with all kinds of special touches from the ocean view swing chair to the modem rope lights and cool retro kitchen stocked with all we needed. This was the most peaceful place of our trip waking up to the beautiful sunrise enjoying our coffee as we watched the birds over the sea. And Soirse is a top notch host giving clear instructions, great recommendations and very responsive. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return!

Twomey's - Unique Victorian Townhouse with Seaview
Spent a few days in Winter at this beautiful house. Stunning kitchen and amazing views of the sea and ships in the harbour from the 2 sitting rooms and the bedrooms. Our host was super nice and helpful and the location is close enough to walk everywhere. Highly recommended

Spacious House with Private Pier, Beara, Co. Cork
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.

Rennies Mill, Coastal retreat, Kinsale
Simon was a top notch host! His local recommendations of Ross Castle and Harmonie Sauna were 👌. The Mill exceeded our expectations! Following the path down to the ocean and seeing it for the first time will forever be a memory that brings me joy and a smile! We hope to come back someday!

Tom Mikeys House, Maharees, Castlegregory
Lovely homely place to stay. Lovely farmhouse with beautiful scenery of sheep and lambs. Clean and homely. Lovely welcome of few treats and essentials to make easy start to the stay. Nora was always on hand if anything was needed. Can’t wait to return in the near future.

2 Bed & 2 Bathroom House, 5 mins Walk from Beach
Our stay in Glenbeigh, at Driftwood House, could not have been lovelier. With the location on the Ring of Kerry, the view in all directions was breathtaking. Sheep-filled hills in front and an ocean view behind made for a beautiful, peaceful stay. Gretta and William were simply wonderful. They were not only friendly but so helpful in offering suggestions for our activities and driving routes during our stay. Their recommendations for food were perfect and delicious! On our final day, they provided us with helpful tips as we continued our travels to the Cliffs of Moher and Galway. Their bed and breakfast truly feels like home. It is clean, warm and cozy and allowed us to relax into each evening comfortably with a fire in the fireplace. Gretta’s morning scones are to die for and the perfect start to any day! Thank you for making our stay in Glenbeigh so memorable. We certainly hope to visit again! Jim, Connie, Mike & Debbie

Spacious seaside family home in Monkstown, Cork
We stayed at Aoifes place for Christmas this year and she made it very special. There was a Christmas tree put up along with some Christmas decorations. Aoife had also provided a very generous and festive welcome package which we really appreciated. It was very special time for me and my family, made extra special by the house and all the help Aoife have given to us beforehand. Super Host for sure. Thank you Aoife.

East Wing Dromana House
I stayed in the East Wing of Dromana House with friends and we loved every minute of our visit. A perfect base for walking and exploring the surrounding landscapes - it was just a pleasure to return in the evening to the fire and to this warm and comfortable house - full of history and character. I'd highly recommend it. Barbara and Nicholas were so lovely and welcoming.

Cabin, Wood stove, Covered balcony, in the trees
Unusual location in semi wooded raised slightly away and above the owners home, can't see from the airbnb. Outside seating to two sides, plenty of space inside, well appointed and warm, we didn't need the wood burner. Very relaxing stay. Met both hosts and their lovely dog, very welcoming and helpful. Great allocated parking space, would highly recommend this home from home.

An Cuan Apartment Dunmore
What a beautiful place, and what a view! We definitely didn’t stay long enough and if they’ll have us back, we’d like to stay longer next time. Martin & Claire were fantastic hosts and made my family feel so welcome. I really appreciate all the efforts they went to for us and we really loved our stay. Looking forward to seeing you again next year! Many Thanks Again!
