The Penthouse Apt at Harveys Dock
The apartment, was spacious, clean and tidy. The views from the balcony were stunning. Watching the sun rise and set over the Blackwater river was the perfect start and end to the day. Close to supermarkets and the main shopping and restaurants. Will definitely, return to this apartment in the future.

Panoramic Two-bedroom Penthouse
The AirBnB was an amazing stay. We loved the views from the balconies. We only stayed for 1 night butvwished it was a longer stay.

Seafinn lodge
Our stay at Seafinn Lodge was beyond wonderful. Shirley greeted us with a warm welcome, offering a walk up along her property among the sheep with stunning views of the surrounding Irish countryside and Bantry Bay. The apartment was super clean, spacious and bright. We really appreciated the coffee, tea and milk! It’s perfectly located on a quite lot a few minutes drive from Bantry with a Lidl store nearby. Shirley gave us a great recommendation for a pub in Bantry where we met a local man who knew of my husband’s family and helped guide us to where they may have lived. We love Ireland and Shirley and John confirmed just how special the Irish are. A highly recommended place to stay!

Lake House Retreat
Paul’s place is truly one of a kind! We had the most wonderful stay and cannot wait to return. The lake view is even better than the pictures show and the surroundings are simply stunning. The house itself has everything you need to feel at home and the beds are extremely comfortable. Paul couldn’t have been a better host and replied almost instantly to every message. We genuinely had the best stay. Highly recommend!

Luxury Oceanfront House
Vicent è stato un Host molto accogliente e molto premuroso. La casa è veramente splendida e gode di un panorama meraviglioso. Ogni parte della casa è curata in tutti i particolari ed è molto comoda. Un soggiorno in questo posto stupendo e’ veramente l’ideale per chiunque cerchi di rilassarsi e staccare dallo stress degli impegni quotidiani.

Lighthouse keepers; Home of the year finalist
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.

Twomey's - Unique Victorian Townhouse with Seaview
We had a wonderful stay in this house! The views from the rooms could not be beat. Cobh is a lovely town and it was an easy train ride to Cork. Alexandra was consistently responsive. As an Airbnb host myself, I always appreciate finding a good place on Airbnb and this house meets that!

Spacious House with Private Pier, Beara, Co. Cork
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.

2 Bed & 2 Bathroom House, 5 mins Walk from Beach
Greta is a warm, welcoming and responsible host. She made sure we arrived safe. Greta provided helpful instructions and useful recommendations. The place was clean. There was a complimentary bottle of wine and snacks in the kitchen. Coffee nespresso machine with lots of capsules was a nice touch.

Stunning period home by the sea,Monkstown, Cork
The beautiful home, lovely landscaping and awesome views were topped only by the warm and welcoming communications with Aoife! Although there weren't grandchildren with us on this trip, the family/kid friendly vibe of this home made me happy every time we walked in the door. Looking out the windows to see the boats and barges sailing in and out of the harbor was so calming. So happy with our choice. Thanks Aoife!

Inch View House, Cromane
We hebben een heerlijk verblijf gehad in het huis van Geraldine en haar familie. Het huis is heel ruim met een mooie tuin, en het is fantastisch gelegen direct aan het strand en met naar alle kanten een heel mooi uitzicht. Het is een perfecte uitvalsbasis voor uitstapjes, maar voor onze kinderen was een ontmoeting met de kalfjes op de boerderij het hoogtepunt van onze vakantie. We zouden deze plek zonder enige twijfel aanraden!

Cabin, Wood stove, Covered balcony, in the trees
Unusual location in semi wooded raised slightly away and above the owners home, can't see from the airbnb. Outside seating to two sides, plenty of space inside, well appointed and warm, we didn't need the wood burner. Very relaxing stay. Met both hosts and their lovely dog, very welcoming and helpful. Great allocated parking space, would highly recommend this home from home.

Neds Cottage by the Sea- Sandycove Castletownshend
Thank you for a great stay in your apartment. The location is perfect. Incredible views, beautiful location for shore trips. Definitely a great choice when you want a quiet vacation.

Waters Edge Retreat
Levantarse por las mañanas y desayunar con las vistas del salón ha sido un lujo. Nos ha hecho un tiempo estupendo y el sol entraba desde primera hora de la mañana y mantenía la casa a una temperatura estupenda. Hemos dormido muy bien, las camas eran estupendas y no se escuchaba ningún ruido. Todo estaba en perfecto estado y listo para disfrutar. La atención ha sido estupenda y ha sido muy fácil todo . Muchas gracias, Joan, por estar pendiente. Esperamos poder volver en otra ocasión.

Penthouse Apt Youghal, Sea Views (Carlton Wharf)
Well we have just stayed at Dairmuds penthouse apartment this week and I must say the apartment is brilliant 👏 very spacious and it has everything you need at hand the views are breathtaking and on arrival Diarmuid was very kind to help us up the stairs with our luggage he's a very friendly man and offered us help to settle in not to mention the cold beer and wine he left which was most appreciated I definitely recommend Dairmuds apartment to anyone planning on staying in Youghal

Kingfisher Riverside Retreat
How did we get so lucky as to find the Kingfisher. We have travelled the world staying at Air BnBs and this was the best. First of all, the house is in a beautiful, tranquil setting by the river. Nick was always quick to respond and had fantastic recommendations for sights and restaurant recommendations. As a matter of fact his recommendation for dinner was the best meal we had in Ireland. Most hosts do a great job preparing their properties for their guests. Nick and Donal take it one step further taking into account what they’d like which took things over the top with a wonderfully equipped kitchen, a wide variety of shampoos and soaps and GIANT towels to keep you warm after a shower. This was a five star wow!

Beachfront apart 20 meters Blue flag Beach

Luxury Penthouse Apartment overlooking River Lee
First of all, Patrick is a great host! Excellent communication throughout, super helpful. The condo was a very short walk from Blackstone Village, which is a cute and bustling little place in the daytime, quiet at night.

Lovely 2 bedroom apartment in Cobh.
Really enjoyed our stay at Cobh and Paddy’s place. It felt homely and there was enough space for my partner and I and my parents. A generous welcome basket containing cereals, biscuits, crisps and milk in the fridge - much appreciated for a cup of tea upon our arrival. Note one of the bedrooms is a part of the main lounge, which might be inconvenient for some groups. For us it was fine as it provided more space for my parents to relax after a day out. My partner and I used the kitchen area when we were home (which wasn’t often) and enjoyed the views of the ocean from the window. Conveniently for us there was a disabled parking space out front of the home which was perfect for my stepdads use. Secure overnight parking is available back of the cathedral for €12 or you can park on the streets where there’s availability.
