Spacious, comfortable and warm house with stunning sea views
The house is situated in the hamlet of Dunquin at the tip of the Dingle Peninsula, backing onto rolling hills, facing onto the Atlantic Ocean, staring at the Great Blasket Island. There are beautiful beaches, scenic drives, walks, and a host of archeological remains in this area. Dingle Town, 20 mins drive away, is a lively place year round. The house is situated at the end of a quiet laneway in an acre of grassy garden, plenty of room to run around. Spacious and comfortable, well stocked with every necessity, it is a home from home. Lovely views from the living and dining areas, and two of the bedrooms. The house has 2 fireplaces and is warm and welcoming even in winter.

We stayed for 2 weeks this aug. It’s by far the best house we have every rented. The homely feel from the min you walk in. The house is very well maintained with tons of extras like fully stocked kitchen equipment, bike if you want to go cycle and plenty of sea equipment. Full utility and internet with Crome case a must for the kids
The view from every window is breathtaking. The owners where very helpful and replied very quickly with any questions. I will be back. We had a wonderful stay.
We had an amazing time here , the house was perfect, clean and well equipped for anything you could need. A great spot for exploring the peninsula and lovely and cozy when the fog rolls in ! We would definitely come back again .
The views from the house out across the Blasket Islands and the Atlantic are truly amazing! House well equipped and beds v comfortable. Great walks from the door. Highly recommended.

Wonderful cosy home, amazing location & views
Honestly I can’t recommend this home enough. My friends and I had a truly wonderful New Years stay in Fenessy’s Find.
There were 10 of us and when we arrived we were a little worried about the space but we shouldn’t have been! There’s plenty of bedroom and living space and even when we were all in one room we were all still comfortable. The house is really well stocked with crockery, spices, coffee & tea etc which was a pleasant surprise. You can tell that the home is used and loved by the family as there’s lots of games and beach equipment, but despite this it was very clean, tidy and looked like it had been recently done up. The nicest bathrooms/ kitchen I’ve seen in a rental cottage.
Location wise you do need a car. Its 20mins drive to dingle town, 5 mins to the nearest beach, about 1hr 15mins from Kerry airport. Lots of great walks you can do from the house itself.
And I have to mention the views. Everyone should stay here for the views alone. Straight out the kitchen windows are the Blasket Islands! We were blessed with clear weather and so got to stare at them every day of our stay. So beautiful the photos cannot do it justice.
Thank you for having us in your wonderful home!! We all fully plan on coming back many times in the future! Planning on booking again soon for summer this time :)

A very high quality property in a stunning location!
The location is beautiful - the house looks out over the sea and the Blasket Islands. Absolutely stunning. There are many walks straight from the house and many more within a short drive. Dingle is an easy 20 min drive. The house is of the highest quality - very spacious, very well-maintained and extremely well-equipped. We mostly ate at home and were able to cook ourselves a range of meals - not always possible with houses with more limited kitchens. We would love to come back.

About the host
Hosted by Sheelagh O'Neill
Irish born, living in the UK Our family and friends have spent many happy holidays in Dunquin, and love the fresh air and wide open spaces, together with the beautiful vistas. A great contrast to city living.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with the area because it is an area of exceptional beauty, with wonderful views from the house and round every corner. We love the fresh air , the space and all the stars you see at night - and our house is sturdy and comfortable in any weather. We love it in winter as well as summer.
What makes this property unique
I love looking out at a panoramic view of the sea, with sea birds diving overhead. We have lots of space inside and around this house, which is good for the whole family. The kitchen/family area is well provided for and comfortable I love going for a bracing walk, then lighting a fire, and reading on the couch.
