Beautiful property at an amazing location. Loved sitting in the sunroom and watching the sun rise and set over the water. Location is quiet and peaceful but perfectly located to see many sights. The owner was accommodating and very communicative. Couldn’t ask for a more idyllic stay.

Better than advertised!

At high tide, prepare to feel as though you're on the bow of a boat. Photos cannot capture how close you are to the water. And the sunsets....!!! The cottage is well appointed, beds comfortable, and the spacious solarium and two outside gathering spaces have endless views that include the Cliffs of Moher. This site is perfectly located in County Clare which is riddled with interesting sites, great food, and lovely towns all within an hour's drive. If all that isn't enough, sweeter hosts couldn't be had. Mike & Tina met our every need with the charm and kindness that Irish citizens are famed for. We can't wait to come back for another stay and to visit with our new friends.

Lovely Irish Home

We very much enjoyed our stay - you can't beat the view of the ocean! Mike and Tina were very thoughtful in accommodations and were available for us when we needed some help figuring out the heat. The home had everything we needed and had helpful information all over, from how to operate the heat / laundry to where to eat and get groceries around town. Would recommend!

Perfect location for our perfect vacation

This Quilty cottage by the sea was the perfect place for us to reconnect with our daughter after her semester long internship in Dublin. We were able to enjoy the beautiful countryside and explore the Cliffs of Moher, Galway, castles and pubs whilst using Quilty as our home base. We could hear the waves at night and watched the tide roll in while drinking coffee in the morning. Our host was a great communicator (much better than me!) and was always there to support if we needed anything. We were greeted with a welcome basket and accommodated a last minute change. We would definitely find ourselves back in Quilty if given a chance!

Just what we needed

After a LONG flight from the USA and staying in Dublin to shake the jet lag, this place was a dream to stay in. Right on the water with views of the cliffs. We spent most of our time out in the atrium watching the water when we were there. It was a pleasent drive up to Galway for a day trip that we enjoyed. If we come back we will definitely stay here for a while. Mike was very prompt with answers to our questions and needs!!!

A fantastic vaction home where you should stay if visiting Ireland!

Shorehaven is a wonderfully equipped vacation home direct on the sea. We thoroughly enjoyed everything about the home. It is cozy, quaint, and the view of the sea and surrounding area from the glass veranda is stunning. It is located close to most everything of interest in beautiful County Clare. Mike and Tina are extremely thoughtful as on our arrival they had a bottle of wine, fresh strawberries, chocolate, and a card for our 25th wedding anniversary. They also were available and gave us great tips for places to go and local talent to see in the area. We plan on visiting Shorehaven again in the future and have already told relatives that they must stay at Shorehaven when they go to Ireland. Thank you again Mike and Tina for making our stay in Ireland truly wonderful.

This location and view is extraordinary!!!!

We stayed four nights in this home. Mike and Tina gave us a warm welcome, supplying a basket of goodies that we enjoyed throughout our stay. Mike walked us through how to use the electric showers, the oven, and heat system. There were two things that were not made clear in the listing before we booked the house. One was that there was an extra charge for the oil if you used it to heat the house. When looking for a home to rent, we saw many that stated this, and we avoided them as we did not want any unknown expenses. So we were disappointed to hear this upon arrival. Having said that, the price quoted sounded reasonable. And because we were left with wood to have a fire, we never did turn the heat on. This was not a big issue, we just felt that it should be stated up front. The other issue that was not clear is that with the exception of the showers, all the other hot water in the house is generated by solar power. It was cloudy/raining during most of our stay so we didn’t get hot water in the kitchen/bathroom sinks. The location and view of this home make up for these things, and we still thoroughly enjoyed our time here. Mike and Tina made sure that we had a way to contact them in case of any problems, and were willing to help with questions about things to see and do. This home’s sun room is amazing even on rainy days. You are not near the beach...you are on it!

The conservatory with ocean views is the star of the show. It was lovely to sit and watch the ocean and the birds. It must be amazing in the summer. There's plenty of kitchen equipment. A well-stocked convenience store is a 10-minute walk away. The house is a great base for visiting County Clare. There are lots of attractions nearby. SatNav does better on the bigger roads in the area. Good communication with the hosts. We would stay here again.

Comfy stay at seaside cottage

Very comfortable and nicely located for our needs, this property filled the bill for our two-couple golf and touring team. Ballybunion and Lahinch for golf as well as Cliffs of Moher were all easy access. The cottage is not modern but we really enjoyed homey environment. Owners were very responsive and available. Quilty is just down the road with the tavern and convenience store. The rocky beach is just a stone's throw away. Beautiful sunsets and playing cards in the glassed-in porch can't get any better. Looking for relaxation? Shore Haven.

Why they chose this property

Quiet and peaceful on the village outskirts, this cottage, backing onto the Atlantic Ocean with its ever-changing moods, is a fully equipped 3 bedroom property, perfect for your stay.

What makes this property unique

Unrestricted ocean view of the Atlantic with its ever-changing moods and tides. Laze away in one of Shorehaven's hammocks or shoreside seats while lapping waters soothe away your cares.
Your biggest decision of the day could be, 'Will I have another beer...or opt for a glass of wine and some cheese...' :-)
