Great vacation house in a scenic location

A beautiful house for our large family. The home boasts stunning views of Kenmare Bay and offers all the amenities. The kitchen is well-equipped and the bedrooms are lovely. Aileen anticipated our every need and was responsive to any questions we had.

A great place to stay

Overall this was the best place we stayed at in our holiday. Plenty of space, a nice open kitchen, plenty of bedrooms. Excellent value. It's about a 10 minute drive from Kenmare town which is a nice place to spend an afternoon or evening. Aileen was open and communicative to provide us with support. A couple of nitpicks: The renter should make sure to have the photo of the property on hand when arriving at the location. This part of Ireland doesn't use street addresses and you'll need to follow written directions to find the place. We followed the directions carefully and still got the wrong home before the neighbors kindly corrected us. There is wifi in the rental but the signal doesn't reach every bedroom. On the whole, well worth the price.

Great house in a beautiful setting.

Set in a beautiful location really close to lovely Kenmare with all its amebities, this house had lots of space. 5 very comfortable large doubles and a very cute room for kids to sleep in singles. The fire pit was nice and the lighting around it all was a nice touch. Unfortunately the weather didn't allow us to quite enjoy it with the bi-folds fully open! Aileen was incredibly communicative before and throughout our stay, making great recommendations for things to do and responding to any queries. We had a great family holiday, and it didn't feel small even with 11 adults in there, and 2 toddlers running around! Would love to stay again sometime.

Sublime Kenmare house!!!

This was such a special holiday in such a special property! Wow! Look at the pictures and then multiply by a thousand 😊 Aileen is a fabulous host and was brilliant with suggestions and information, so friendly and accommodating. The house is something else - luxurious, and brilliantly comfortable. Fabulous rooms and lovely to have fire pit and water feature. The views at the front across the bay to the mountains are breathtaking. Fantastic holiday!

Cork family reunion in Kerry

We stayed at Aileen’s place just west of Kenmare for 8 days while meeting up with other family and relatives. The house was as advertised, it has plenty of space with 6 bedrooms and 3 baths. A wonderful kitchen with a large table that we sat 12 people for a meal. The view of Kenmare Bay and the Beara peninsula is beautiful. You are nestled in about the cow pastures. A really beautiful and peaceful place. Aileen will have all sorts of suggestions for activities for. We had a great time.

The perfect house

The descriptions of the place are accurate but still don’t do it Justice. Everyone of us nine loved it and made it our home. And the view from the house is spectacular.The host, Aileen was easy to reach but we really didn’t need to as we found everything easily. I would go back and I would recommend it without any hesitation.

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful stay. We were 10 adults and 1 child and the house was big enough that everyone could have space for themselves as well and at the same time offered enough possibilities to sit together comfortably. The kitchen is, like the whole house, great equipped and there was nothing we would have missed, although we also cooked a lot. The beds were good, just a little too soft for us in places. The location is an absolute dream and the starry sky overwhelming. Aileen is a great host and did everything she could to make us feel at home. The wealth of tips and recommendations she had for us were just great. If we had any questions, she was always available and very helpful. We would definitely come back again. Thank you very much for the wonderful time.

Outstanding home outside of Kenmare

This home was very well appointed. Very nice bed linens. The kitchen was set up nicely to make family dinner. The view from the front of the property is amazing. Everything was as advertised. Fire pit and waterfall in the back were beautiful. It's a lovely home.

Fabulous views and wonderful shared space

A perfect venue for entertaining or shared family fun. Huge kitchen and lovely outdoor space for dining alfresco. You're a short drive from Kenmare and a medium drive to fabulous beaches, but if it rains you won't regret coming - the house is very large with plenty of room for dining, games or just finding a quiet space to yourself. Aileen is an excellent host and very responsive. There's a detailed welcome pack that explains everything from operating the boiler to refilling the coffee machine! One quite key issue - the double beds are quite small. In fact, one of them has an even smaller mattress so very tricky to fit two people. Various maintenance issues as well - pieces missing from every puzzle and game, no blind on one of the bedroom windows (in mid summer!), no lock or catch on that bedroom door, a few bulbs blown/missing and a weird tap that shoots water over the bathroom sink! The house is really special though, and given Aileen's attention to her guests I'm sure small issues will be sorted soon.

Beautiful house, stunning location

My family came over from the USA to visit and we couldn’t have chosen a more perfect house for our 9 night holiday. Aileen was a very gracious and responsive host who have a wide variety of recommendations for activities in the area to get us started. The house itself was wonderfully equipped and stylishly decorated. We spent many happy hours preparing food, playing card/board games, and just spending time together in a lovely location. All family members commented on how comfortable the beds were. We were so pleased with everything and I can’t rate the experience any higher!!

A beautiful house in an amazing setting

We spent a wonderful week in Radharc na mara. The house is spacious and well-decorated, there was ample room for the children to play why the adults needed some down time. The view over the Kenmare river and the mountains of the Beara peninsula from the front rooms is just breathtaking. On our arrival, we were escorted to the house by friendly neighbours, and Aileen, the owner, was always helpful whenever we had a question to ask. A perfect holiday accommodation for a family trip!

About the host

Hosted by Aileen

Why they chose this property

This location has so many benifits, close to the towns of Kenmare and Sneem and a great community welcome for visitors. It has all the comforts of a real home and the space to relax and enjoy your surroundings.

What makes this property unique

There are many unique features in the house, the views, the beautiful fireplace, the gallery landing on the first floor or the handmade stained glass doors leading from the dining room into the sitting room but it has a unique atmosphere when you walk through the door which is a special welcome to all guests.
