About this property
The Atlantic on Your Doorstep. The Point by the Sea. Charming house in Carraroe
Wake up on the edge of the Atlantic.
Tucked into the wild coastline of Carraroe in the heart of Connemara, The Point by the Sea is a two-bedroom cottage built for those who want the ocean right outside the window — not just nearby. You're literally seconds from the water's edge, with nothing between you and the Atlantic.
Hosts on site for anything needed, and added peace of mind.
At low tide, the sea draws back enough to walk out to the small islands just offshore — a rare and memorable way to explore the coastline right on your doorstep. (Guests are welcome to explore, but we'd always recommend checking tide times before heading out.)
Inside, you'll find two comfortable bedrooms, two bathrooms, and everything you need for an easy, self-catered stay. It's the kind of place where mornings start with sea air and evenings end watching the light change over the water.
Explore the local pier, wander the coastal walks nearby, or simply sit back and take in one of the most dramatic stretches of coastline in the west of Ireland. Whether you're here for a quiet couple's escape or a family retreat, The Point by the Sea offers a genuine taste of Connemara life — remote, wild, and utterly beautiful.
The hosts are on site and on hand throughout your stay to help make it a comfortable and memorable one.
