Our family of 4 (2 adult children, my husband and myself) enjoyed our stay very much. The property was clean, plenty of space and close to the city center.
Great spot. The place was well outfitted and clean. Great location

We loved this unit because of its location within a stairway from downtown Kinsale! Very clean, spacious unit with lots of storage space in the two bedrooms. We would stay here again without hesitation!!!
Very comfortable accommodations and perfectly located on quiet street right next to the top of Stoney steps which will lead you right down into the charming town of Kinsale!
The home, location and communication with the property manager were absolutely perfect!
Washer / dryer and parking were a huge bonus.
Our family was elated - what a wonderful way to stay in beautiful Kinsale!
Excellent location; property very clean and nicely renovated. Needed instructions for operating appliances, tv and door locks. Parking is a challenge. Not as welcoming as many places that I have stayed. Would have appreciated shampoo, coffee pods, new/extra pillows.
The Kinsale rental was perfect for our trip. The location is minutes from the water front and many great restaurants. The sun room had a beautiful view of the town. The wood work was very well done and impressive. The house was well stocked with everything you might need.
This home was located in the heart of The City Kinsale! Walkable toEverything, including multiple grocery stores. Be aware that the home does have very steep wooden stairs to the bedrooms/baths. The outdoor glass room was so pleasant and we viewed stars. Parking is a bit tricky on very narrow street. There is only an Espresso coffee machine that takes the tiny pods. Communication with mngr was easy.

Thank you very much for your kind review! We are delighted you enjoyed the location and the glass room to relax under the stars. We appreciate your feedback about the stairs, parking, and coffee machine — it helps future guests know what to expect. We’re so glad communication was easy, and we would be happy to welcome you back anytime in Kinsale!
We could not have been more pleased with this property. Its location is fantastic as a base from which to explore Kinsale. It is extremely functional and well laid-out; the pictures of its high-quality finishes do not really do it justice. It was a perfect place for our family -- great kitchen, W/D, outdoor space. Would rebook again tomorrow if we were going to be back in Kinsale. Just Terrific!

Not as expected
The check-in process was to contact a "friend in the area". Since we were arriving from another country, it made finding the place, getting the key and figuring how to get into the house very difficult. The parking situation and the narrow street that the house was on made driving and parking scary. The house was ok but we were expecting more. There was a dirty, used dish scrubber and no paper towels or napkins. The view outback was not appealing and the house could use some TLC. We wouldn't book again.
Kinsale Town Centre is just that - modern home in the heart of Kinsale. The best features (besides location) are the light that streams in the windows, the enclosed sunroom, an outside patio, and two bathrooms. The kitchen was well supplied. The manager was very helpful in staying on the phone to direct us to the house. I would recommend this property.
I loved this place! Beautiful and convenient to everything. Rita was great and always available if we had questions. I would definitely come back here again.
