Shelbourne Georgian Townhouse, Kenmare, Co. Kerry
This is my second time staying at this amazing home. Such a great location! Not only for the access of the wonderful town of Kenmare at your doorstep: pubs, shops, restaurants, walks and scenery, but also a perfect place to explore southwest Ireland. Kenmare is the best to start Ring of Kerry, Beara Peninsula, and visiting the stunning West Cork towns of Bantry, Skibbereen and Mizen Head. The home itself has everything you need. The kitchen with the charming fireplace is fully stocked. The living room with open fireplace is relaxing and bright. The bedroom hosts a very comfortable bed with the best sheets. This home is so well decorated and has access to a great garden area that is private. I also worked from here and the Wi-Fi was strong and fast. I highly recommend staying here on your visit to Ireland. Thanks to Sarah for another fantastic trip.

Close to town, comfortable 3 bedroom property
Homemade bread, attention to detail, very responsive, flowers and fruit too, oh my! We also met Ann, she was lovely and a very warm person. There were four of us, very comfortable space and close to downtown. Lots to do in the area, Ring of Kerry, Beara Peninsula, Dingle Peninsula, Bantry, and downtown Kenmare is lovely. We would definitely stay at Ann's place again!

Rookery Lane Studio 1 Juliette Room
This was our favorite stay during our entire trip in Ireland! The space was absolutely adorable. The location was amazing. It was very clean and modern. There was free parking a short walk from the AirBnB.

Michael's House, Ring of Kerry, Sea Views
Michaels place was absolutely incredible.. the house, the views and everything in between! We couldn’t have asked for a better spot to stay. Kerry was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Michael was very responsive and gave us recommendations to do. My kids enjoyed playing outside all day. Also, loved all the big windows in the house and having a fantastic view from each one! Would love to come back and stay again one day! Thank you again for the lovely stay!

Whitewater
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.!

10a Mountain view Sheen Falls Kenmare
We were a family of 4 adults - a 16 year old and an 8 year old and the house and location were ideal for us as the 2 adults and 2 kids were visiting from Australia. We were able to entertain friends who popped in as there was so much space, well equipped kitchen, huge BBQ etc. We loved this house and would go back. The only negative was the WiFi was not great in the house, but it's also not great reception in the area - so hopefully that will improve. If you were going to work while staying it wouldn't be easy to do so. A great experience was had by all and the highlight was being able to use the pool and leisure centre in Sheen Falls Hotel across the road. Whenever we needed anything Paudie or Kathy were on it immediately.
