Kells bay 'blue flag' beach is within walking distance from the house and is ideally suited for swimming etc. Hill walking, fishing trips, cycling, horse riding, water sports and eco tours are all available locally. The area boasts some world renowned golf courses in nearby Waterville, Dooks, Killarney and Ballybunnion.

The house is faced with local natural stone helping the property to blend into its setting seamlessly. The spacious ground floor is a welcoming open plan design, featuring an eye-catching solid fuel stove. Snuggle into the inviting couch next to the stove, read a book, watch Netflix on the 55" smart TV or just gaze at the mountain side or the wild Atlantic Ocean! Fully equipped kitchen - large fridge freezer unit, dishwasher, gas hob, oven, microwave, washing machine and dryer etc.

Snuggle up in the luxurious superking size bed in the master bedroom, which also contains a walk-in wardrobe as well as an en-suite bathroom with shower.

The master upstairs bathroom contains a spacious shower and a stylish large bath.

The property is heated by means of a zoned underfloor heating system which is economical and efficient keeping you warm and snug in the colder winter months.

The area is part of the internationally recognised 'Kerry Dark Sky Reserve' without any light pollution where on clear moonless nights the sky is filled with millions of stars and other astronomical sights to be seen with the naked eye.

Make this space your base for your Kerry adventure in this spectacular and unspoilt region of Ireland.

Kells Bay is an old picturesque fishing village situated halfway between Glenbeigh and Cahersiveen. It is a quiet and peaceful place undisturbed by recent developments and is home to Kells Beach, one of Kerry's Blue Flag beaches. The beach contains many rock pools to explore, fascinating for children.

There are beautiful views of Dingle bay and the Blasket Islands from this region. To get the best views you need to head to an area close by called "mountain stage". From here with the mountains as a backdrop (old railway tunnels run through the mountain from a bye gone era) you can get great views, weather permitting, of the coastline . The beautifully engineered "Gleesk Viaduct" (an old railway bridge) built in 1892 can also be seen from here.

If you are into hill walking then a stage of the "Kerry Way" passes here, an ideal days activity. Also in the area you will find Kells Bay Gardens. An old Victorian Garden containing one of the foremost collections of Southern Hemisphere sub-tropical plants in Europe, assembled from Australia originally but more recently from New Zealand and South America.

Close by is Kells Bay House and Gardens with almost 18 hectares of sub tropical planting and forest. There are over 3 km of walks in the various different areas of the Gardens, with a picturesque waterfall at the garden entrance. Well worth a visit and also has a coffee shop and Thai Restaurant, perfect for lunch or dinner.

Beautiful Home

This was such a perfect spot for our family! Lots of room for everyone, comfortable, and gorgeous views. We loved the quiet and remote location. And it was also a great central spot for day trips. Highly recommend the hiking options nearby. The hosts were outstanding and had excellent recommendations for sights and restaurants. We can’t wait to come back!

Does Not Disappoint!

This is the second time my wife and I have stayed at this property. Michael is a great host and offered some great recommendations on what to do and where to eat. The location of this house is absolutely perfect! Every time we come back to the Emerald Isle we plan on staying here. The views are amazing and the house truly feels like a home away from home. Anyone planning on exploring the Ring of Kerry should stay here!

Couldn't have picked a better place!

The house was more than I could have ever imagined! Upon arriving to the house we met the housekeeper, Catherine. She was sweet and very informative. This was the first trip to Ireland for my wife and myself and the location of the house was perfect for everything we wanted to see and experience. The house is located in an International Dark Sky Reserve so on a clear night the views of the sky are simply breathtaking. If you're looking to explore the Ring of Kerry then this is the rental for you. We give it a 12 out of 10 and definitely would love to come back in the future!

Perfect Gem

What a beautiful home! It was a perfect place for us to both relax and see the beauty of the Kerry Coastline. This home is away from it all, yet completely modern in its conveniences. It was spacious enough for the 6 of us, with room to spare. The western sunroom was a perfect place to enjoy coffee or tea in the morning, while taking the extraordinary landscape. The weather complied, and we had blue skies for several days, allowing us to take walks and hikes in the surrounding hills. We loved the sheep that were roaming around and were lucky enough to see many of the baby lambs as well. It is also close enough to drive the Ring of Kerry and to visit the nearby Dingle peninsula. Catherine was very kind and welcoming when we arrived, and showed us around and how things worked. We can't speak highly enough of this beautiful Kerry treasure. Thank you, Michael for opening your home to us!
