Vacation rentals with a kayak in Ireland

Excellent host, spotless house, beautiful view, so close to the beach, had full use of three kayaks, only 10 min walk to great restaurant (Long Dock) and pubs (Keanes’ had a great trad music session), only 12 min drive to Kilkee and Loop Head not far either. We had a great 3 day holiday, thanks John!

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!

Breda was lovely and helpful. Our kids loved the use of lake and canoe, down every evening. Would definitely stay here again if going down, lovely big spacious house.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is really well equipped and Mark was very helpful and friendly, responding quickly to any requests.

We have just returned from a wonderful weekend at Paul’s home in Howth. It felt like a home from home which is exactly what we wanted. Cosy lounge, good beds, great kitchen. The house is in a residential area but a 10 minute walk down into the town and all it has to offer. We got the DART into Dublin which was cheap and easy. Paul proactively sent any information we might need before I’d got round to messaging him which was really appreciated. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. Thanks for hosting us Paul!

John is a wonderful Airbnb host. So helpful and communicative. He met us on arrival and showed us anything we might need. The house is superb, well equipped, comfortable and spacious. The view is spectacular! So stunning. We were lucky to have nice fine weather so got the benefit of the sunshine in the afternoon and evening until the fantastic sunset scene. I have run out of superlatives. We stayed 2 nights. Nearby restaurants are aplenty and we went to the Red Door - amazing food - on our first night and Sherpa in Buncrana also great food. We went to Wild Ireland wildlife park which is a really wonderful experience. There’s so much to do in the area. We really hope to come back soon.

Highly recommended for small family. Conor is great in host. house was very clean and with all amenities. location is perfect and walking distance from shops, petrol station, town centre. also, town has everything you need. scenic route and nice countryside. a great place to visit every year.

We had a truly amazing time at Anne-Marie’s house. In 4 nights we spent lots of time on the kayaks, and on the beach BBQing and watching the sunset, and taking dips before breakfast. We loved watching the hares hop up the drive in the early mornings and we had a seal visit the bay. We climbed Errigal, took a day trip to Arranmore on the ferry, took a walk up to Crohy Head and enjoyed Maghery beach. The house is beautiful, and filled with light, and we slept very peacefully. We really could not have loved our stay here more. Perfect!

Fiona’s house is a brilliant base for holidaying on the Ring of Kerry. The accommodation is spacious, lots of comfortable beds and 3 bathrooms with great showers, shower gel and shampoo in each. Communication with Fiona was excellent, she is available by text or phone call. She was very flexible with the check in and out times. We loved arriving to a warm house, as the heating was set on a timer. Everything was spotlessly clean and we were delighted with the welcome pack of fresh brown bread, butter and milk as well as plenty of fuel for the fire. The kitchen was stocked with the basic cooking ingredients and excellent cooking equipment. Plenty of books, games and jigsaws available for the whole family. We loved the location, 5 minutes by car to Cahersiveen with pubs and shops. And mountain walks, ancient stone forts, ruined castle and lovely beach on your door step! Very quiet location and a telescope in one of the rooms to gaze at the stars! We definitely would come to stay again!

A lovely stay in Mairead and Hugh’s beautiful cottage! The house is utterly gorgeous – comfortable beds, a well-stocked kitchen and a lovely, cosy, rustic vibe. The interior decor is stunning with lots of thoughtful touches like the giant claw foot bathtub and the big fluffy pillows. The view from the garden is phenomenal and we spent a lovely evening in the hot tub watching the sun go down! Mairead and Hugh were the perfect hosts – helpful when we needed them but never invasive, and the homemade wheaten bread and jam that was waiting for us was a lovely welcoming touch! All in all a perfect stay and we can’t wait to come back some time.

Friendly host and only to anxoous to please. Sorted a problem with the water (from a well) by working from early morning until it was finished. Great area and we did the walks that we were told about.

Elizabeth's home is amazing. Exceeded expectations. The home is lovely and the view is a million dollar view - 180 degree view of part of Dunfanaghy Bay. Could sit all day in the comfy chairs looking out and watching the tide come in and out. A wonderful spot on Horn Head. Up-to-date bathrooms/showers, washer and dryer, dishwasher, and kitchen stocked. Convenient to town and road tripping through Donegal. We didn't want to leave. This home was a perfect ending to our month long trip in Ireland. Do not hesitate to book this home.

Little Cregg was perfect for our family. The setting is beautiful. The house and garden are private but just a minutes walk from the beach. Tralong Bay is sheltered and offers great swimming and kayaking. The property is a short drive from Glandore which has great pubs and restaurants. The coastline and countryside is stunning and great for cyclists. The local folk are friendly and welcoming. We were here in mid Spring and the wild flowers were a delight. The house was very comfortable. The treats Ann left to welcome us and the hot outdoor shower were added bonuses. Thank you.

We had such a lovely stay at this cottage. I was a nervous driver, new to Ireland’s country roads, so getting to the house was a little scary, but we loved the privacy the place held once there. Definitely a rustic cabin, but appreciated the supplies keeping the fire roaring for nice hot showers and baths. As an American, I was probably more disappointed by having no freezer or a way to keep ice, but that’s just me. My husband and I enjoyed the nights playing scrabble and reading. Truly a place to be immersed in Irish country bliss.

A wonderful weekend for my family and I. Caitriona and her family couldn’t have been more helpful. We could have chatted to Fionnula for hours as she had so much knowledge of everything around Annagry. Cottage is fully stocked and so cosy and warm. Central location makes it ideal for shops, restaurants and pubs. Home made jams, honey and scones on arrival got the weekend off to a flyer and everything just got better. We’ll definitely be back!

We absolutely adored our stay here at this beautiful cottage in the countryside. It was so special waking up to the sound of lambs outside and to have cozy evenings next to the log burner. The place had everything we needed and Laura was incredibly helpful leaving recommendations and so kind to leave us treats too. The place was really well located, close to the beautiful beaches and a short drive to donegal town too. The local link was also very accessible. We had an incredibly special stay here, thank you so much!

Anke was a great host. Everything was clean and tidy on arrival and the morning views from the deck were better than we could have wished for. If you are staying in West Cork you could do no better.

Wonderful days spent in The Chalet, beautiful and relaxing atmosphere. Everything was good, unless there was not possibility to lock the door (since broken) that was not permitting us to feel totally safe during the night even it Isabelle ensured us this is a safe place, and of course it is. If I could suggest please fix it. The surrond areas are incredible beautiful, I definitely recommend The Chalet 😊

We had a great stay, Everything was as described, Definitely worth it if your looking for a cute getaway in a nice secluded place in ireland

We had the most comfortable and relaxing stay. Alison is such a lovely host. We wanted for nothing. Did not want to leave and will definitely be back.
