Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Killarney

This is a very nice place. Micheal was knowledgeable of sites to see and came to show us how to turn on everything in the house. The house is decorated so beautifully and it was super clean. Our stay here was located centrally so that we could do several things. I would highly recommend this place!

Fantastic location host made us felt welcomed with snacks and fridge stock, nice touch, all bedrooms were clean with fresh sheets and towels. Very private and no outdoor disturbances during the night. Would definitely stay again and would recommend.

Cathy’s place was absolutely beautiful! She and her husband were excellent hosts. We had everything we needed and more during our stay. The location is perfect, with lots to do whilst still being secluded. Would 100% stay again!

What a beautiful and charming place with so much attention paid to the guests. Our playing with the cats was a bonus.

This is one of the best stays we have ever experienced. The photos don’t do it justice, the home, grounds & view of the ocean are absolutely breathtaking ! Everything you need is on hand, we were inspired! Fresh flowers & comfy blankets, books, every detail was taken care of. We did not want to leave. Gavin was friendly and gave us great tips & suggestions for exploring this incredible area. We would give 10 stars if we could!!! Book this extraordinary stay.!

This place was great. It is on a quiet cul de sac off a country road just outside Killarney. It is a private quiet location but a few minutes ride to downtown Killarney. The home is beautiful with huge windows over looking an awesome backyard. The view is spectacular as you can see the mountains in the distance and many farms. Inside is great, spacious and clean with all modern amenities. We stayed with my wife, mother in law and 2 teenage daughters. It was a great base camp for the Ring of Kerry, Dingle, and Killarney National Park. We even drove to Blarney and the Cliffs of Moher! We would go back in a heartbeat.

This place is amazing!!! Had all the amenities you could ask for! I love how peaceful the area was. Enjoyed walking to the lake and were lucky enough to see a rainbow one evening. I wish I would have stayed longer but hope to come back someday!!!

I’ve stayed in Airbnbs all over the world—from bustling cities to quiet countryside escapes—and I can confidently say this was the best experience I’ve ever had. Every detail exceeded expectations. First and foremost, the cleanliness was absolutely outstanding. Spotless from top to bottom—not a speck of dust, not a fingerprint on a surface. You can tell they truly care about hygiene and guest comfort, and it immediately made me feel at ease and relaxed the moment I walked in. What truly set this stay apart, though, was the incredible hospitality. They provided incredibly helpful and curated information about local sights, hidden gems, dining options, and even personalised recommendations. If you're considering booking, do it. It’s a rare gem and I would return in a heartbeat. I already miss the peaceful sounds of birds chirping.

We had a great stay at Caraway Lodge! The space was modern, clean, and very comfortable. It was easy to find and just a pleasant 25-minute walk to the shops and restaurants in Killarney. Tadhg was a fantastic host—very responsive and full of helpful recommendations that made our visit even better. Would definitely stay here again!

For adventurous travelers looking for an experience rather than merely a place to stay, this place and location has a lot to offer. After staying at chalets and places convenient for one night stops, it was fun to drive through Glengariff Nature Preserve through the winding roads up into the hilltop location surrounded by woods with openings looking out over the beautiful hilly terrain. Chopping wood to heat the small apartment heightened the feeling of living as one of the locals for a while. We appreciated Gesine’s helpful notes to get there and enjoyed chatting with her about life in this peaceful place. While day trips taking the ferry to Garnish Island or driving over Caha Pass to Killarney National Park were nice, we are glad we took advantage of the location and spent time away from tourist-filled areas to enjoy quiet, peaceful hikes along the nearby Riverwalk and through some of Pooleen Woods. This was a great addition to our first-time travel experience in Ireland!

Fantastic stay!! House was amazing, everything you needed was there and then some. Spotless. Darina and Paul were perfect hosts but gave you privacy aswell. We were doing the wild atlantic way on a motorbike, ideal for washing clothes. Comfy beds and bedrooms. Ideal place to stay. Thanks

This place is perfect for a country getaway

Had a lovely one-night stay here on our road trip, would definitely stop again if we visited Ireland again! The views were incredible, with cows in the fields and mountains in the distance. So peaceful and picture-perfect. The place was super clean and comfy, and Nora was a great host (and even got to see her sweet dog!!)

Colm's place at Beaufort is in a fabulous location to explore the local area. It is just a few kilometres up the road to the spectacular Gap of Dunloe. It is also easy to explore the Ring of Kerry and Dingle Peninsula from here without really needing to go into Killarney. The unit was very comfortable including the beds. It was quiet. Take some groceries with you so that you can make a meal in the well-equipped kitchen. Colm had provided some fresh eggs which were greatly appreciated. He was very helpful with his local knowledge of the area. We have no hesitation in recommending Colm's place.

We had a great stay, the house was spacious and the host was responsive.

Lovely place, very kind host. Would definitely book with them again.

Wonderful stay at William and Joanne's. Everything you'd want from a host and a place. They were so friendly and accommodating, really went above and beyond to be helpful and make our stay memorable. The place is clean and comfy and the spot is truly beautiful. Very happy we stayed here.

A cosy but spacious little nest surrounded by gorgeous scenery The location is absolutely fantastic as it is so close to the town center of Killarney, the entrance to the ring of Kerry and an hour away from Dingle, which was our next stop Mike and Sinead were the most amazing hosts as they provided us with lots of information and recommendations Highly recommend

Aidan was very friendly and communicated well. The space was very clean and centrally located; would certainly recommend!!

We rented John's place for 5 nights and couldn't have been happier. It was perfect for our needs and was close to many attractions. It was very clean and bright and John was a great host. He even made us homemade cookies!

What an amazing place to stay. The view from the apartment and surrounding area was breathtaking. Bridie provided great instructions to get there as well as a wonderful recommendation for dinner. Only regret is we didn’t stay longer!!

Our stay was perfect - the flat is very nice, clean and offers everything you need for a short stay. Andriana was very friendly and communicated proactively. The accommodation is only a 10 minute drive from Killarney. We would come back anytime and can highly recommend the accommodation.

We enjoyed our stay at John’s. He and Claire were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed making simple meals with the delicious lamb and fresh salmon available in town. Also having laundry facilities was fantastic, easy to use machines. Great view from our window, but we were sorry to miss the donkey s, they were elsewhere. A side note: The bedding in Ireland is interesting. Every bnb we stayed in (4) had one duvet and no top sheet. We found them to be too warm everywhere we went. But that’s no shade on the bnb. Just the way things are done, I guess.

Fantastic stay for our 4 days in Killarney. Hosts were amazing and the space was huge and perfect for our family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids). The kitchen was wonderfully appointed (better than ours back home!) and allowed us to cook several meals at "home" which was very helpful. The kids LOVED the dogs, too! The location was perfect, just minutes from the Gap of Dunloe and maybe 12 minutes from Killarney Town. Laundry room was very welcome and perfect for the midpoint of our road trip around Ireland. Couldn't ask for a better stay!
