Stunning Views, Beautiful Home

This is a really beautiful home --even nicer than the pictures. The views are absolutely stunning. The home is very comfortable and had everything we needed. There are some restaurants within a short drive and one that can be walked to --as well as a place to grab coffee, pastries, etc. Ciara was very helpful providing some recommendations. I very highly recommend this home.

Amazing location

The location of the house house is perfect. Our daughter had a competition in Dublin so we were commuting into Dublin for a couple of days. We also spent a couple days exploring Northern Ireland which was do able from this location. It's close to Dundalk which pretty much has everything you will. N

Beautiful oasis on water

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ciara's beautiful home. The pictures don't fully capture the beauty of the home and the area. It is magnificent and Ciara is awesome. She communicated quickly with us regarding check in and check out. We look forward to staying at this property in the future and have recommended it to many others.

Very special!

We stayed here just for a single night but the location and views were just stunning. A nice change of pace coming from Dublin and really wish we had more time. Extremely cozy environs with everything you could ask for in terms of bedding, bath, and kitchen. Do yourself a favor and book some time here!

Less than thrilled.

Although the accommodation was clean and comfortable and did have an ocean view, the general surroundings were far from what was described or expected for the high price we paid. The exterior and immediate surroundings were pretty unsightly, leaving us quite underwhelmed. Simple basics like paper towel, facial tissues and a coffee maker were not available. The bedrooms have motion sensors that illuminate with almost every movement within the room. We have always had great luck with VRBO, but found this property lacking.

Absolute Gem

This is an absolutely beautiful property in a gorgeous spot. It's really comfortable and well equipped with views that are to die for from every window. We love swimming and could literally walk out the front door for a dip. There are a couple of great restaurants a short drive away andvthe kitchen is well equipped for nights in.

Stunning Views and Stay

Cierra's Ireland home is absolutely perfect for your next trip! I traveled with five guests, including my 2-year-old son, who now can’t stop talking about wanting to go back to the beach. The location is stunning, with breathtaking ocean views that made our stay magical. This was my first trip to Ireland, and I’m already looking forward to staying here again. The rooms were incredibly spacious and spotless. Cierra, the host, was fantastic—super friendly and communicative. She was so accommodating when our plane was delayed, ensuring a smooth check-in even though we arrived past midnight. Thank you so much for everything!
