Portballintrae is an idyllic village just outside Bushmills and 4 miles east of Portrush. It is close to both the Giants Causeway, Dunluce Castle and the world famous Bushmills distillery all within walking distance. This quaint fishing village, on the edge of a horseshoe bay, is lined with a modern hotel and private properties and drops down the cliffedge to its peaceful, working harbour and small beach. The harbour is a haven of activity at the weekends and throughout the summer with locals and visitors enjoying open water swimming, paddle boarding, boating and many other outdoor activities.

For the keen golfers the 9 hole Bushfoot Golf Club is a few minutes walk from the house, offering stunning coastal views, it is a lovely course to play. Of course for the more serious golfing enthusiast Royal Portrush links golf course, host of the 148th British Open in 2019 and selected to host the 153rd British Open in 2025 is only 10 minutes drive away. 25 minutes drive will take you to Portstewart Golf Club with 3 fabulous links courses. Host of the 2017 Dubai Duty Free Irish Open. The winner Jon Rahm stated " the golf course is amazing, it's probably one of the most beautiful golf courses I have ever seen, if not the most."

Port Tara has a strictly no smoking policy.

Lovely Home

Really nice home with nice backyard. Stayed here with family. 8 adults and 2 children. It was perfect. Just a 5-6 minute walk to the beach and a nice hotel bar restaurant. We would definitely stay here again. The owner provided good communication. Needs- bigger pots in the kitchen! And this home could use some area rugs around the beds and hallways for comfort and noise control. Overall a wonderful holiday home!

Beautiful Home in Perfect Location

Port Tara house was more than expected. The home was very clean and comfortable with everything you needed. Perfectly accommodated our three generations of family. The location couldn’t be better for day tripping the entire north coast while also being so convenient to lovely town of Bushmills. Keith was a pleasure to deal with and very accommodating. Definitely considering going back!

Amazing Place Lotsa Grace

Great location, pleasant people, beautiful! My husband (woah weird to say) and I booked this place for our family and friends to stay with us for a small destination wedding. The layout was perfect for this particular event as the master bedroom is on the opposite side of the property providing plenty of privacy while also allowing you to be with your loved ones. Kieth was attentive with any questions we had and was absolutely pleasant to work with. Highly recommend!

An unbelievable rental in the North Coast of Northern Ireland.

This is one of the best rentals we have used to date for a large extended family group. The house is VERY spacious and the owners have included literally everything you could imagine for your stay. Very modern and immaculately clean bedroom and bathrooms. Parking in the front could easily take 5-6 cars. It was nice to have a main living room and a snug where the teenagers could have their own space whilst the adults relaxed in the main room. Only a few minutes walk to the seafront harbour area to view the sunsets in the evening. Highly recommend and we would all love to stay again.
