Beachfront holiday rentals in County Cork

Lovely and calm boathouse right next to a beautyful bay. I loved the morning swims, the sunrises and sunsets. You can watch birds and we were lucky enough to watch otters several times! Stephanie is a very friendly person and gave us several tips. My partner said I should give 5 of 5 otters for the accomodation. I totally agree :-)

Esther was incredible from start to finish. The accommodation is modest with absolutely stunning views. The only drawback, which Esther had forewarned, was the power of the shower and switching constantly from hot to cold which is not great. However, I had cold showers which were powerful and refreshing and then warmed up by the fire. Great location and great host.

We love Beara and are so pleased to have found Baile Beag. This is our second time to stay there. It’s so soothing and nested into the land and the house is so cosy and homely.

We had the best time and Mary was an amazing host. Don't be scared off by the golf club location: it's a pro because it means there are loads of facilities like you'd find on a big camp ground but because you're the only mobile home you get amazing privacy and tranquility. And if you fancy company you can go up to the club house for a pint and a game of pool with the locals.

We stayed in one of the Bell tents on (very) short notice and Matt was very helpful and friendly. The tent was bigger than we expected and absolutely exceeded our expectations. It was spotless and in a beautiful location, surrounded by nature. The bathrooms were spotless and the kitchen was perfect for our short stay. Matt was also very helpful giving us a recommendation for the Fastnet Bar for food. After seeing the full location I would absolutely recommend to everyone and would definitely return to stay in one of the GeoDomes or EcoCabins!

Brilliant few days in Arti’s. The place is so peaceful and quiet with amazing views. While you need a car to get them, there are lots of nice amenities to drive to close by, but the real draw is the ability to go off grid for a few days in beautiful surroundings. Arti is also a super responsive and helpful host. Enjoy!

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!

Spectacular sea views and a wall of windows in the large living room. Very comfortable couches, recliners, large kitchen, spotlessly clean. Instant heat in radiators with a push of a button. Paul was a generous and kind host and responded within minutes to queries. There is a large service station 3 mins away on the main road. The beach is spectacular, there are lovely forest walks 4 mins drive from the house. We appreciate Paul’s pet friendly policy. We travelled with two dogs, 5 adults, two tweens and two kids and we had buckets of space and more couches than needed. Smart TV was handy!

This is the most unique and amazing Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in and we had a lovely time here. Rich in history and immaculately decorated with all kinds of special touches from the ocean view swing chair to the modem rope lights and cool retro kitchen stocked with all we needed. This was the most peaceful place of our trip waking up to the beautiful sunrise enjoying our coffee as we watched the birds over the sea. And Soirse is a top notch host giving clear instructions, great recommendations and very responsive. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return!

We fell in love with this house. It’s in a beautifully secluded spot with direct access to the water. We swam each morning and it was bliss. The layout of the house is great, with a large open plan kitchen, dining and living room and a gorgeous deck that gets the sun. The surrounding area is stunning. We particularly liked the Buddhist centre and vegetarian cafe, which is in a gorgeous spot with breathtaking views. Would love to go back and spend more time exploring.

Admiral House was the perfect spot for family getaway on beautiful Bere Island. The house was clean and had every amenity needed including a stroller and high chair for a toddler. Lots to explore on the island and there are 2 local ferries for day trips to Beara Peninsula. The host and her grandma were so kind dropping off Irish bread and a quiche. All in all a lovely visit would highly recommend for a quiet relaxing time.

Had a fantastic stay with a group of friends over the weekend! Views out of this world. So calm, peaceful and relaxing! Incredible for stargazing at night, beautiful view of the Skelligs and Derrynane Bay. Great walks and scenery and friendly locals. Brilliant kayaking experience facilitated by neighbour Noel. Thanks a mill to Tracey! Will be back :)

Great space with a beautiful view. We enjoyed our stay!

had a wonderful 2 night stay. The location is great right next to a beautiful beach. The home is big and spacious very clean and equipped with everything you need! the hot tub is an added bonus. Marie had is fired up and heated for our arrival. Will be back hopefully soon

Beautiful home with amazing sea views. House has every possible convenience. Sitting room very comfortable with a gorgeous view to the sea. All bedrooms immaculate. Ballycotton is a small village but has a couple of options for food. We ate at The Trawlermans which is part of The Blackbird bar. Food was lovely and very well priced. Would recommend the fish and chips. We also got pizza at The Blue and they were delicious too. Lovely walks to do around the area. Overall a lovely break away with friends.

The perfect mini break💫 We loved our few days away, everything was 5 star. So clean and warm with amazing attention to detail and great communication. Thanks again !

Gillian's place was perfect for us and our dog. Beautiful house and view, fresh and new interiors, wonderful kitchen for family gatherings, gorgeous walks, room for our dog to wander in the garden and a relaxing vibe. The beds were wonderful with lovely linen and we all slept well and felt the better; as a holiday is supposed to feel! We would love to go back and have already recommended it to friends who holiday in the area. Gillian was responsive, helpful and flexible.Thank you, Gillian, for having us in your wonderful place!

Had a perfect week here. We took paddle boards with us which was great fun. The house itself was incredibly spacious and so well equipped with everything it was like being in someone's home. The cupboards had everything we needed in the way of condiments, sauces, tea etc. Also having 2 dishwashers made eating at home so easy.

This place is a must it is absolutely beautiful and so worth the cost and our Host Robert was incredible checking in all the time if we were still happy and needed anything plus on arrival there was the most beautiful and practical gift basket plus the places fresh water and milk in fridge and speciality cheeses for us along with fresh flowers in kitchen and dining area and what was most appreciated was the fact they have placed a beautiful Christmas Tree to place us in the perfect Christmas spirit and make us feel at home thank YOU

An elegant house in a truly beautiful location. Our whole family (toddlers to grandparents) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lough Hyne. Tim, the property manager, could not have been more helpful and responsive to any requests. Missing it already and definitely would stay there again another year!

Alan and Elaine are unbelievable hosts. Trust me you get way more than what you pay for in this place. Words can’t express how awesome and majestic the view is of Lough Guitane. Two families (4 adults and 7 kids ages 5-14) stayed six nights and saw a lot of the area thanks to Alan and his awesome recommendations. Five large bedrooms give us plenty of room for everyone. Plenty of very nice and well kept washrooms, a wonderfully large kitchen and sitting areas facing the lake with gigantic floor to ceiling windows give you a great view of the lake. The kids appreciated the gaming systems in the “second” sitting room. There were plenty of toys outside to play with. The kids spent a lot of time on these outdoor toys (racing trikes and mini tractors etc). If you’re into animals, you’re in for a treat as the sheep, cows, ducks and hens were all visiting in their neighbouring pasture regularly. The kids loved checking on them and even gave them names. The water is a very short walk down to the beach (perhaps 100m) on the same property. From there you can canoe or kayak (provided by the hosts) or even swim, which we all did with regularity. I strongly recommend hiking mangerton mountain, which is a five min drive away. Laundry room, kitchen supplies, freezer, spices, there was everything we needed. What a wonderful place to stay! Highly recommend.

My family loved being here for Christmas. It is one of the most beautiful settings we’ve ever seen and so incredibly peaceful. We cooked every day and found the kitchen very well appointed for our family of five.
