Vacation rentals with beach access in Kinsale

We based ourselves in Kenmare for 3 days while touring around Ireland. Tessa’s cottage was comfortable, had great facilities and extras that Tessa had left to make it a great stay. She was good with her communication and check in was easy. The cottage was convenient to town if you didn’t want to drive. Quiet location. Thanks Tessa we really enjoyed our stay at The Lodge.

Very much enjoyed our stay in Kinsale. Perfect location in Town and very near the Harbor. Hilda's place is great. The patio was a bonus! I highly recommend it!

Very pleasant contact with Margaret, very fast response time for questions. Beautiful location with sea views with separate small terrace for the sundowner. The accommodation is lovingly decorated and very clean. Margaret had provided us with tea, coffee (French press), yogurt, granola, rolls, cookies, etc., which saved us the trip to the supermarket. To explore the area on foot, you often have to walk on the road (little traffic) - Margaret has hung yellow vests in the closet to increase the safety of her guests. We stayed with her for 2 days after our arrival in Ireland.

We had a lovely stay, an amazing location right in the centre of Ballycotton with the most beautiful views ❤️

Mary is a lovely host, good communication and really clear instructions. The apartment was spotless and really comfortable. Great powerful shower too! Perfect location as part of our Wild Atlantic Way road trip.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay! Paddy is a great host and very thoughtful with gestures, snacks, and breakfast essentials! Would recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay in Cobh!

As an American staying in Ireland for the first time I was very excited to come across this perfectly located unit in the heart of clonakilty. Small kitchen had all amenities required (no dishwasher tho) but I learned quickly that that was part of the charm. Front door was a bit sticky but its an older building so it is as to be expected. Apartment was clean and comfortable. I had a learning curve with the shower unit which I never did get right but that's probably on me. Beige carpeting throughout made taking shoes off immediately a requirement. I would recommend that as part of the cleaning process all streaming services are logged out of as I had a bit of a difficulty getting into mine until I was able to log last guest logged out. Extra bath towels for longer staying guests and paper towels in the kitchen would be helpful for cleanup. Hosts were very responsive and you cannot beat the location- views outside the bedroom windows were divine! I recommend and would stay again!!

Our stay was just great including a lovely welcome from Mary and her little dog Ellie. The apartment was beautifully decorated and well appointed with all amenities. We stayed during wonderful weather and enjoyed fantastic views across the water towards the Ring of Kerry. Everything was very clean and the view from the excellent bath in the main bedroom was out of this world. Mary went out of her way to make our stay as comfortable as possible and even suggested a better stress-free way for my friend to get to Dublin via Kerry Airport - including driving her there herself! She had also written out ideas for exploring the area which we followed and were so glad we had. Thoroughly recommended!

Great place to stay for vising West Cork. A bit isolated so driving was a must but very peaceful and the stars are amazing at night. The wifi and phone reception were the only slight issues and they didn't really impact anything. Will definitely come back again. Pat was lovely too and really easy to deal with.

We had a great stay at Cathrine’s. Lovely place and great host. We will recommend the location to friends and family.

Michael was a great host. Extremely responsive. I would definitely work with him again.

This property is one of the most beautiful and comfortable Airbnb’s we have ever stayed in. The views from the kitchen and bedroom windows are breathtaking and the whole home has such an air of serenity and peacefulness you instantly relax. The home is so thoughtfully designed and decorated. Beds were super comfy, house was so spacious and beach literally right on your doorstep which a sauna visited 3 of the nights we were there. Lots of beautiful walks right from your doorstep and also plenty of days trips within a 30 minute drive. Highly recommend - stunning from start to finish 😊

we stayed one night, but the charms of the cottage made feel us home in a second. Gretta bubbly personality and warmth make us welcome and supported. she gave us amazing tips on local activities. the space is even better than the pictures

Absolutely magical! Our whole family fell in love with this incredible home in Cork. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning view—it honestly felt like something out of a movie. Every window seemed to frame a postcard-perfect landscape, and we found ourselves constantly stopping to soak it all in. The house itself was warm, welcoming, and perfectly equipped for a family getaway. Spacious, spotless, and filled with thoughtful touches that made our stay extra comfortable. Whether we were enjoying a quiet morning coffee or gathering for a family dinner, it felt like home in the best way possible. We left already talking about when we’ll come back. If you're considering this place—don’t hesitate. It's a gem, and we can’t wait to return!

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.!

Anne & Gerry's place is an absolute gem. Relax in the garden, while watching the ebb & flow of the tidal estuary. Enjoy the antics of the Egrets, Heron, and Hooded Crow who are in splendid abundance. Curl up in front of the fire with a good book and a glass of the good stuff. Pop into Skibbereen or Clonakilty if you want to stretch your legs. Or just enjoy the afternoon sun with a pint at Nolan's (ask Dennis about his on-going "battle" with the local Rooks and Jackdaws). Anne & Gerry's is a wonderful place to slow things down, and focus on Nature and simplicity. You will sleep beautiful sleeps at Lazy Acre, and awake to days of delicious indolence.

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!

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!

We loved our stay in this spacious and comfortable apartment right in the heart of Castlegregory. We appreciated the many practical touches, such as the well-thought-out kitchen, two couches, access to washer and dryer, front entrance with easy access to Tailor’s Row and back entrance with private parking. We liked Maura’s design aesthetics a lot (the clock, the electric kettle, the cool bedroom shades, etc). It was wonderfully and unexpectedly quiet after dark—no sounds at all from cars, planes, dogs, street conversations. We have no complaints at all!

Lovely coastal home with beautiful views. The hike was cozy and private. I would definitely recommend this location and would come back for another stay.

James was very responsive and answered any question I had. We had a wedding in the local church in Clonakilty and James allowed us to check in early before the ceremony. The accommodation was extremely clean and had everything we needed. I will definitely stay again if I’m back in Clonakilty as the location in the town was excellent.

Such a wonderful location to get away from the hustle and bustle. We hired a car and drove to Cobh, Cork, Kinsale & Waterford which we super easy to get to. Joan couldn’t have done more for us. It was our first visit to Youghal but definitely not our last. Wonderful restaurant at the Walter Raleigh Hotel, just across the road. Amazing food and friendly people. Fabulous ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beautiful, modern house on a quiet country road that leads to a beach cove. It is a five minute drive from Ardmore village. The house was comfortable and warm with stunning views. We never turned on the television, preferring to watch the horizon instead! The kitchen is really well laid out and has everything. We had a lovely trip; local activities we enjoyed included a pottery class in Ardmore Pottery and Solas na Mara seaweed baths in Ring.

Emer thank you for sharing this beauitful place with us. It had a spectacular view of the sea.union Hall and Leap very near. The apartment was bright ,spacious and spotless. Just to note the nearest shop is about 3 miles away so bring basics with you. There is 2 lovely restaurant within walkable distance from the apartment. I would recommend this apartment. .
