Holiday rentals with a kayak in Munster

Our stay at John’s charming Boathouse, recently, was wonderful from start to finish. The sea view was mesmerising, the sea-scented clean air a treat to breathe, the garden tranquil and inviting and the beach the icing on the cake. Walking into The Boathouse for the first time was like the warm hug of coming home. The location is safe and welcoming, the locals friendly and open. John himself is engaging, friendly, always on hand if needed and full of friendly tips and conversation. We loved staying here and it was hard to say goodbye.

We had a great stay at the lake house. The house is beautiful and has a lot to offer. The location is private and you have a nice view over the lake. Paul made great suggestions for activities and answered quickly. Thanks for everything!

We had a wonderfull time in Illian's house. The house was very cosy, very well equiped with an amazing view. We occupied all the beds and there was still a perfect amount of space for all all of us to feel confortable. It is also a very good location to exolore this part of West Cork, Mizen head (windy and impressive in winter !), Dunlough Castle, the very nice villages of Goleen and Schull, Crookhaven and all the beaches around starting by Barleycove of course ! We have spent an epic winter week, walking around all day, and coming back to a very nice wood fire at night. I would definetly recommand the experience ! The communication with Illian was very easy and he's always been very reactive and helfull !

Our stay was nothing short of perfect. Tucked away in a breathtaking natural setting next to Caragh lake, this home is a true sanctuary for anyone looking to relax, recharge, and soak in the beauty of the outdoors. From the moment we arrived, we were taken aback by the peaceful atmosphere and stunning views. The house sits right on the edge of a tranquil lake, with crystal-clear water and lush greenery all around. The home itself is thoughtfully designed, spotlessly clean, and incredibly comfortable. Large windows throughout the house bring in tons of natural light and frame the lake beautifully, making every moment inside feel connected to nature. The interiors are warm, inviting, and perfectly balanced between rustic charm and modern comfort. Ettienne was super responsive, welcoming, and clearly passionate about sharing this little slice of paradise. Every detail, from the well-equipped kitchen to the cozy linens, was carefully considered to make our stay super comfortable. Thanks

Fergal’s house is beautifully designed , extremely comfortable and very well equipped . Even though we didn’t cook there it had absolutely everything you would need . The view was mesmerizing and it is perfectly set up for outdoor relaxation if the weather would cooperate. We wished we could have stayed longer . Truly outstanding house in a super location with the village 5 minutes walk and a little beach 2 minutes away .

The pictures of this place and its views on the listing do not even do it justice — the setting is spectacular and the perfect place for my family to rest and spend time together. Would highly recommend!

House was so nice. Everything we could need was there. Towels, cooking equipment, toiletries. House finished to a very high standard and very clean. Also had milk, eggs, tea, coffee and even a loaf of fresh bread! TamiJoy was very responsive with any questions we had. The house was warm and plenty of room to park. Would highly recommend.

A serene cottage overlooking the bay. Loved sitting on the porch with the heater and lights in the evenings. It's a very quiet area, you only hear the birds and the sound of the waves crashing below. The cottage itself is cozy and comfortable. Adrian has all the little details cared for. Can recommend taking out the kayak and exploring the bay and going across the road for multiple swims every day. It doesn't matter much if the tide is in or out, it's so convenient. Strongly recommend for someone looking for a quiet spot.

Absolutely lovely place and wonderful setting. Would highly recommend.

We absolutely loved our stay at Hanna's Cottage. From the moment we walked in, it felt like home. The furniture and all the little touches really create an atmosphere, we found we did not want to leave and just enjoyed watching the view and the boats on the water. The cottage is beautiful and warm and cosy. We went for a lot of walks in the area, its really beautiful there and a lot of nice places to visit. Vi kommer gjerne tilbake! :)

Really enjoyed our time at Fiona’s place. The location is perfect and unbelievably scenic. The town of Cahersiveen about 30min walk or 5 minute drive. A couple of gorgeous beaches within same distance. The house was perfect, it was super clean, had everything we need and there’s a little welcome pack of break milk butter etc which felt very welcoming Fiona herself was very responsive and helpful Overall couldn’t fault the house, the town, the host. If you’re looking for a quiet break in arguably the most scenic area in Ireland then this is ideal

Loved the location and felt very at home straightaway - felt private and secure within the grounds of the estate with easy access to the the main house to Brian (Host) if required Cashel is a simply beautiful place and was such a highlight in our travels - would absolutely stay here again. Thank you for our restful stay Brian and will definitely come back for another visit only it will be for longer next time! Thank you again Meredith & Fay

We had a truly memorable stay at Little Cregg in Glandore last week. The location is stunning, with panoramic views over Tralong Bay that we enjoyed from morning to evening — whether relaxing on the new patio or watching the changing light from the comfort of the living room. The house is beautifully decorated, spacious, and extremely well-equipped. Everything we needed was there — from a well-stocked kitchen and BBQ to beach towels, books, games, and even a first aid kit. On arrival, we were delighted to find a lovely welcome of wine and local produce, which was a thoughtful and much-appreciated touch. We spent our days swimming, kayaking, and walking the quiet country lanes to the nearby jetty, taking full advantage of the private path down to the peaceful beach below the garden. The outdoor warm shower was a great bonus after time in the sea. While we made day trips to places like Baltimore, Skibbereen, and Rosscarbery, the house and its surroundings were so relaxing we often pref

We had such a lovely stay at this cottage. I was a nervous driver, new to Ireland’s country roads, so getting to the house was a little scary, but we loved the privacy the place held once there. Definitely a rustic cabin, but appreciated the supplies keeping the fire roaring for nice hot showers and baths. As an American, I was probably more disappointed by having no freezer or a way to keep ice, but that’s just me. My husband and I enjoyed the nights playing scrabble and reading. Truly a place to be immersed in Irish country bliss.

Lovely cozy cottage overlooking the water with great outdoor terrace and a sauna to warm up after a cold swim at nearby Clahane. The cottage is a short drive to Lahinch, the Burren, and the Cliffs of Moher, and a short walk to some lovely pubs and eateries in nearby Liscannor. Highly recommended!

Francis was a very good host to us, forthcoming and helpful. We enjoyed our stay in the simple, yet beautiful cottage and especially having some farm animals around.
