    Perfect location for our perfect vacation

    This Quilty cottage by the sea was the perfect place for us to reconnect with our daughter after her semester long internship in Dublin. We were able to enjoy the beautiful countryside and explore the Cliffs of Moher, Galway, castles and pubs whilst using Quilty as our home base. We could hear the waves at night and watched the tide roll in while drinking coffee in the morning. Our host was a great communicator (much better than me!) and was always there to support if we needed anything. We were greeted with a welcome basket and accommodated a last minute change. We would definitely find ourselves back in Quilty if given a chance!

    Just what we needed

    After a LONG flight from the USA and staying in Dublin to shake the jet lag, this place was a dream to stay in. Right on the water with views of the cliffs. We spent most of our time out in the atrium watching the water when we were there. It was a pleasent drive up to Galway for a day trip that we enjoyed. If we come back we will definitely stay here for a while. Mike was very prompt with answers to our questions and needs!!!

    Comfy stay at seaside cottage

    Very comfortable and nicely located for our needs, this property filled the bill for our two-couple golf and touring team. Ballybunion and Lahinch for golf as well as Cliffs of Moher were all easy access. The cottage is not modern but we really enjoyed homey environment. Owners were very responsive and available. Quilty is just down the road with the tavern and convenience store. The rocky beach is just a stone's throw away. Beautiful sunsets and playing cards in the glassed-in porch can't get any better. Looking for relaxation? Shore Haven.

    Great Ocean View

    Just as described with regard to the spectacular ocean view. Mike and Tina provided some snacks and nibbles for our arrival. The place was clean but cluttered at the same time. Drawers were stuffed with all sorts of things. Biggest disappointment were the beds. Very uncomfortable - and only one of the beds in the three bedrooms had sheets. We found sheets for another bed hanging in the closet. Didn't understand this at all. Lastly, the list of recycling instructions was astonishing. Unfortunately, I had left my secret decoder ring at home and was hard pressed at times to determine what constituted what and what should be disposed of in that bin or this one...Consequently, when we left after 5 days we were totally stressed out about whether or not we had used the correct bins.

    Our favorite!!

    We stayed at a few VRBO properties in Ireland as we drove around the entire coastline. This was our absolute favorite. The views from the conservatory were amazing. To just sit there and listen to the surf really fed my soul. Beds were great. We made a fire each night and totally relaxed. Easy walk to market and/or pub. I really hope I am lucky enough to stay here again. Mike and Tina were so engaging and fantastic to deal with.

    Lovely Cottage on the Shore

    We were four adults (one couple, two singles) staying at Shorehaven, and felt so cozy and comfortable there. Mike and Tina were kind and communicative, and left treats for us. Our kitchen was well-equipped with all that we needed, and the cottage had many nice touches, including books, games, music, and even a pair of binoculars. Our group especially enjoyed the conservatory and outdoor seating area at the cottage.

    We aim to make your Irish vacation as enjoyable as possible.
    Seeking advice re. region? day-trips? restaurants? travelling? etc. Please just ask. We will be happy to help.

    Why they chose this property

    Quiet and peaceful on the village outskirts, this cottage, backing onto the Atlantic Ocean with its ever-changing moods, is a fully equipped 3 bedroom property, perfect for your stay. Set 500 meters from Quilty village on the Wild Atlantic Way, mid-way between the Burren landscape and the Eden Tourist Award-winning 'Loop Head', there are plenty day trips for you to enjoy if you can drag yourself away from Shorehaven's peace and tranquility.

    What makes this property unique

    Unrestricted ocean view of the Atlantic with its ever-changing moods and tides. Laze away in one of Shorehaven's hammocks or shoreside seats while lapping waters soothe away your cares.
    Your biggest decision of the day could be, 'Will I have another beer...or opt for a glass of wine and some cheese...' :-)
