Beachfront holiday rentals in County Cork

Fantastic location and view. The property was very clean and well set up. Great for simply enjoying the immediate surroundings as well as a base for exploring the wider area.

We had a wonderful stay at the Beach House! Location, location, location is what it was all about, just stunning! Great outdoor and indoor space for all of the family. We all enjoyed the sauna and it was just a pity that the hot tub was not in use, but it did not spoil anything. The only thing to be mindful of is the shortage of hot water when taking a shower, which i think has been mentioned in previous reviews. However, overall it's the most amazing location and house for a break in West Cork and we really hope we will be back one summer in the future!

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 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!

A relaxing retreat. We had a wonderful stay in Pilgrim’s Rest. The house is spacious and clean with beautiful natural light. The giant picture window has continuously changing views of the sea and the sky - whatever the weather, it’s so relaxing to just sit and watch by the warmth of the cosy wood burning stove. The kitchen has everything you need. Bedrooms and bathrooms are spotlessly clean. The location is perfect for finding beautiful beaches and small towns. We visited Long Strand - a 5 minute drive and had lunch in The Fish Basket - well worth a visit for the fresh seafood, good coffee and generous slices of delicious cakes. We found a few ‘hidden gems’ if you like to swim or just explore - Sandscove - so pretty to the East. You are also a stone’s throw to Glandore and Union Hall. We drove onwards to find Squince Beach and swam there - beautiful spot. A couple of issues with the heating but the host Paul did everything he could to sort it out.

The creativity cabin is a wonderful home away from home. There is gorgeous mountain and sea views and plenty of opportunities to see the nearby wildlife. Anne is an outgoing and friendly host who is also very respectful of guests privacy. The cats are also wonderful :)

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.

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

Such a beautiful location and Tracey was so helpful with local recommendations and accurate directions!

Fab location. Kitchen is kitted out with everything you would need first a short stay. Beautiful panoramic views of Brandon bay. Peaceful and private. 10 minute walk to spillanes. Seán was very responsive and helpful. Would definitely stay and again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend yo others. Thank you Seán! 👍

We had an incredible few days! Olivia got in touch with some super helpful and friendly descriptions of the area and tips to help us with our stay. The space is super clean, there were thoughtful little welcome bits for us, and it made us feel at home right away! The view is absolutely stunning and the place is beautifully peaceful and quiet with no road or other noise at all, other than the relaxing sounds of the small beach.

We really, really loved our stay in Dunworly. It was absolutely stunning. We definitely learned the way of the windy, narrow roads and felt like pros by the end. The beach was easily the most amazing view we have ever seen. We really enjoyed the quick walk to it and went every morning. We quickly adapted to the drive to the restaurants and shops in Timoleague, Bandon, and Clonakilty. Our favorite restaurant was in Bandon - Copper Grove - it was incredible! We loved the small towns and getting that “locals” feel. Our time at Tommy’s Beach House was easily the highlight of our trip. Thank you for making our trip from New Orleans wonderful!

We had a lovely stay at the home of Geraldine and her family. The house is very spacious with a nice garden, and it is fantastically located directly on the beach and with a very nice view to all sides. It's a perfect base for trips, but for our kids, meeting the calves on the farm was the highlight of our vacation. We would definitely recommend this place!

Beautiful part of the country, stunning location, amazing house. All you could ask for.

We loved ever second of our stay here. Perfect for a big family/group holiday.. the house was spotless, spacious and the kitchen was equipped with everything you could possibly need. There was a gorgeous welcome basket waiting for us with bubbly, cheeses, chocolate, coffee, etc. - a very nice touch that was much appreciated! Beautiful outdoor area with brand new bbq and seats, over looking amazing views of the sea. Sitting room was very cosy with stove which was used most nights! All bedrooms were very comfortable and showers were 10/10. There was very much a luxurious feel to the place with a lot of attention to detail - like great quality towels and linen, diffusers, etc.! Location wise , 5-10 mins from ballydehob- ideal for coffees in the AM, and 10 mins from Schull with nice lunch spots and pub! We can’t wait to come back! Exceeded our expectations! Thank you Gillian!

Amazing and unique experience with incredible waterfront views. Saoirse was very welcoming prior to our trip and checked in frequently before we arrived. Her instructions were clear and the house was immaculate, well-equipped, and beautifully decorated. We felt like we were at home the minute we walked in the door, and were blown away with the amenities and views. The house is a short walk from the beach/boardwalk and the town center, but you don't even have to leave the house to have a great experience here.

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.

We loved our holiday at Eimear and Eoin's home! It was a lovely place to spend Easter and celebrate our daughter's birthday. The home is perfectly located on the water and had everything we needed. They were very responsive to any inquiries and helpful with any questions. The layout of the house is great for a family with plenty of space and spectacular views. We can't wait to return.

We stayed in Dave’s home for 3 nights but wanted to stay forever. The home is well equipped, cosy, cool artwork and loads of records to listen to. The mature garden is stunning to relax in and look over the ocean. Down the end of the garden is steps to the beach where we spent the whole weekend swimming and kayaking - absolute heaven! We brought a kayak but there was even one for us to use at the house! It’s literally beside a lovely little pub and a few minutes walk from a restaurant (the mussels are so fresh and tasty!). We enjoyed every minute and Dave was a fantastic host. Thanks! Robin & Danny

We had a most comforatable and enjoyable stay at Robert's Anchorage home. It was very well equipped, lovely location and thoughtfully presented. Robert's instructions were timely, clear and helpful.

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!
