WOW!!! The first word that comes to mind when I am thinking back to this incredible property. From the moment you pull into the drive the views take your breath away. The house itself is the perfect size for a large family or group. Each window in the house has a view. The living room is the perfect size for relaxing and visiting with family. The bedrooms are all very spacious and have a bathroom attached. We had to fight over who got the master bedroom upstairs with the amazing views. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need for making coffee, tea, and cooking. Brian is so friendly and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. He advised us on flying into Dublin and taking the train into Tralee to get our rental car which was the best way to go. Thanks Brian! Going during off season was also a plus as we were some of the only tourist there and made driving on the skinny roads a little easier. Overall, this property was an absolute dream and we would love to return one day!!

Philomena and her son, Brian delivered a vacation of a lifetime. 5 star service. The views - spectacular! The home - perfection in its style, size and structure. Great fit for two families/ six guests. Tig Aigne Cafe had warm scones everyday and best scones just a stone's throw away. The colorful town of Dingle just a short jaunt. Great pics and music! This is a must if you want to see Ireland in its full glory.

This is one of those rare occasions where the pictures do not due the property and especially the views justice. Everything was exactly as described, but more beautiful. I kept saying, "It feels like something out of a movie," and then reminded myself that it was. We slept with the curtains open (in the larger bedroom upstairs) so the view was the first thing we could see upon waking up. We rented both the larger cottage and the smaller one for our large family group and everything was perfect. Brian was wonderful to work with and super responsive.

The communication was spot on from what we expected, always responded promptly, the location was just a beautiful spot with the ocean right out the window. I would stay here again and again if the chance to go back comes up. Kids loved having separate rooms and they loved the sheep right out the window. I would recommend this to anyone that is looking to stay in the area
