“Gorgeous Home and an Amazing View!”

Reviewed 17 Feb 2019

This home is absolutely stunning! The view is picture perfect and the sounds of the Ocean will make you feel instantly relaxed. If you are looking for a nice family getaway, a retreat to unwind from your busy life, or are looking to connect with a true Irish landscape, this home is the ideal destination. You can walk to the Beach in only a few minutes, or pop in for a Pint at the local pub. The home is very well kept and the fireplace will keep you toasty warm during the cooler nights. Town isn't too far off, so you can stop in to get the basics. My family and I will definitely be returning at the next opportunity.
