Kenmare Town Hse, spacious family home

RethaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Bernadette's place was a very spacious and SPARKLING CLEAN!! There was ample room to stretch out, the beds were on the softer side (which I like) , the pillows were a fluffy dream and the furniture comfy! There was a lovely patio out back, surrounded by a tidy garden w/a picnic table to relax in good weather and Bernadette took the time to drop by and show us the place and offered recs on restaurants and things to see. She even brought an entire box of detergent pods for us to use in the washer! Our only issues were, the water heater didn't make enough hot water to take a good bath and the jetted tub didn't work. After a long day hiking, we really looked forward to a relaxing bath but made do w/a shower....However, those were minor issues when you factor all the other great perks the property had. We really enjoyed our stay and meeting Bernadette and can easily recommend her place to anyone needing a relaxing home base for your Kerry adventures!

Kenmare estuary house

ReneeRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Sally’s house was a perfect location for us. It was just a short drive to town, 2-3 minutes. We definitely could have walked there, but we were with my elderly father. The house was clean and very well maintained.

The Boathouse - Seclusion by the sea

ShannenRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Amiee’s boathouse was a wonderful place to stay in. One of the best AirBnBs I’ve been in. Everything in the picture is exactly how it is when you get there. Checking in was easy and the drive was beautiful. This place is perfect for couples that want to be in a secluded place but close enough to other towns nearby. Perfect location for hiking and walking. Amiee was an excellent host. She makes you feel like you are right at home. I could tell she was very thoughtful on the boathouse’s presentation. She left us some homemade jam and recommendations for other activities as well. Looking forward to coming back! 😊❤️

Georgian cottage in the heart of Kenmare

TaraRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a fantastic stay in Truro’s beautiful cottage. It’s in a quiet and peaceful spot yet less than a minute round the corner from all the pubs and restaurants and shops of Kenmare. Very clean and tastefully furnished. Trudi was very helpful and friendly. Kenmare is a great town and base for exploring the amazing scenery around. We enjoyed meals at O’Donnabains, Maison Gourmet and Cafe Mocha and great music and Guinness at Crowleys.

Rural Mountain Retreat - Find yourself in Nature

AndressaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
The Cottage is a true gem tucked away in the mountains — peaceful, beautifully kept, and even more charming than the photos. It was the perfect escape. Although we didn’t meet Eilise in person, she was an incredible host from start to finish. Her communication was kind, prompt, and helpful every step of the way. You could really feel her care and thoughtfulness through every message and detail in the cottage. Everything about the stay was seamless and relaxing. We left feeling refreshed and already dreaming of coming back. Thank you, Eilise, for making this such a special experience!
