The house was spacious, the kitchen was large and well equipped. The whole place was clean and even more beautiful than the listing suggested. It literally took a minute to walk to the beach, and the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. I would absolutely recommend Dolphin cottage to a family or small group and would happily stay there again!

We had a very good time. The house is amazing and in a wonderful location. The owners of the house are very helpful and friendly. We will be back in the future.

We had a great time. Enjoyed our vacation, the house is beautiful. Ireland is a wonderful place to visit.

Everything about Dolphin Cottage suited us. The spacious of the house with its views and its immediate access to the beach meant that it was such an incredibly relaxing place to be. The house itself was stocked with everything you would need for a very easy and comfortable week away from home. All of our communications with the property were dealt with promptly and Dermot made sure that we were very well looked after. It was an absolute pleasure to stay in Dolphin Cottage and we look forward to returning there again next year - already booked!

Our stay here was exceptional. Dermot was very responsive and helpful. All 8 of us that stayed in the home were so pleased. The home is beautifully private and tucked away, but only minutes from Ballybunion and Listowel and many lovely sights. This is by far the nicest home we have booked on VRBO.

Peaceful - this property is some 10 kilometers from Ballybunion & location is so much better! Loved the kitchen, with picture window to the lawn & beach just beyond, which was so quiet that it was almost our own 'private' beach. Garden & grounds were immaculate.

We had a lovely stay at Dolphin Cottage. We watched horses on the beach, traveled Conner's Pass (SleaHead too) and took a marine tour to the Blasket Islands where we watched seals, dolphins and Minke whales. We had a lovely dinner at Danno's before stopping in the Dingle pubs for live music. Thank you Dermot for hosting us!

Seeing is believing and Dermot & Nikki’s home is an example of what all homes should be. Beyond perfect 100% and you will not find a more private and natural setting. Thank you so much again from Noel & Breege and Ann and David Monaghan

This was a trip back to our home for the family. The owners were amazing and the house spectacular!

Our family of 5 had the most amazing time at this gorgeous house overlooking, and just a few steps down to, Littor Strand. The view onto the beach and across to Co Clare was stunning. We even spotted dolphins swimming by a couple of mornings. It was just the secluded break away our family needed after a hectic relocation back from living in the USA. The house has everything one could need including beach towels and toys, a BBQ, fire pit and provided logs. Nearby Astee has a small grocery store for any essentials and Ballybunion has a good Super Valu with an even bigger one in Listowel. Dolphin cottage has the best of both worlds: total seclusion at the house yet there is still plenty to do within a very short drive… golfing and surfing in Ballybunion, a trip into the literary town of Listowel, a visit to Carrigfoyle castle or a ferry ride from Tarbert across to Clare for a drive out around Loop Head, or you could comfortably get to the Cliffs of Moher and back in a day too. A visit further west is another great day trip to visit Castlegregory, Brandon point and/or Dingle. There is so much to do.. if you can pull yourself away from the serenity of the house!

House was immaculate, well appointed and Dermot was very helpful with our check-in and recommendations. Would not hesitate to recommend to others.

Fabulous cottage and location. Owners was kind and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. An amazing time had by us all. Will definitely be returning as soon as we can 👏👏

The kitchen is quite big and has every convience for at home cooking. Bedrooms large and comfortable. We enjoyed exploring the peninsula, ancient ruins, and coastline. We would certainly stay here again. Thanks to Nikki and Dermot for their gracious hospitalty. Dianne

We have just spent a fabulous holiday at Dolphin Cottage. We were returning guests and our experience was every bit as good as last year. We can’t say enough positive things about the house, the location and the hosts. We look forward to returning soon. This is a real gem.

We had an amazing week and were so lucky with the weather. The house is modern and clean and has everything you will need for the perfect holiday. The location is perfect for a peaceful and relaxing holiday yet close enough to Ballybunion 6-7 min drive or Listowel 15 min drive. We did a few day trips to Tralee and Dingle and also spent a lot of time swimming and walking on the beach which is literally at the end of the garden. The patio area at the side of the house is great for sitting out for family meals or just relaxing. We were lucky we got to see the dolphins and it was an amazing experience especially for the kids. We will definitely be back again. Thanks Dermot & Nikki we hope to stay in your beautiful holiday home again.

Amazing house and locations, we had a perfect family Christmas by the sea with our children, everything was thought of in the house and we could not have asked for better communication and help from Dermot. We had a whole range of weather during our stay, including storm Bella and the house was so comfortable and warm, a very well designed house, no expense has been spared. We would love to come back soon.

Have been to many places in the world only to find my dream holiday home was only a 3 hour drive away. The layout, location and hospitality provided by this house and it’s host Dermot are second to none. If you are Looking for a secluded house for a large family or 2 families close to a beach this is the one for you

We had a wonderful week at Dolphin cottage, the views are stunning and the house and surrounds make for an incredibly relaxing time. Great sized bedrooms, 3 of them en-suite, beautiful views in every room, especially the kitchen. The house is extremely well furnished and well kept. The kids loved running down onto the beach from the house, the beach is long and quiet- perfect for walks. Day trips to Dingle and all the many sights and beaches make Dolphin cottage a real gem. Thanks so much Dermot and Nikki for a wonderful week. The kids give a big thumbs up ! Much appreciated. Dave & Nicola

House is a real gem. Beautifully done. All rooms have high spec finish. Lovely garden with amazing views. Very clean and modern. Everything needed to cater for adults and kids. En suites and bathrooms very clean, fresh and modern. Overall we had a fantastic time and would highly recommend. Great job Dermot.

Beautifully presented with everything you could possibly need for a holiday. Lovely location with views of the Shannon. Stunning beach for walks. Plenty to see and do in the area. Very friendly but unobtrusive host who ensured we were ok. Lovely welcome and welcome pack. Would recommend Dolphin Cottage highly.

Great location, fabulous views, excellent host. Would certainly do it again.

The beautiful views from the Dolphin Cottage change every day. We loved watching the tidal changes from almost every room in the house. The cottage is very well appointed, spacious, comfortable, peaceful, and private. Dermot made us feel welcome and checked in on us during our stay. Many western Ireland historic and cultural sites are an easy day trip. We hope to one day return to the Dolphin cottage.
