About this property

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.

Our family of four from Virginia found this home and the surrounding land to be absolutely stunning. The house itself is very spacious and comfortable with gorgeous views out to the sea and nearby islands. Sheep grazing in pastures right outside the door. So many beautiful walks and nearby ancient sacred sites to explore. The town of Dingle has lively pubs and shops a short drive down the scenic slea head rd. Killarney national Park is not far either which was a wonderful day trip. If you’re planning to go to the Dingle Peninsula rent this house and you won’t regret it. I hope we can return someday to this magical spot!

Wonderful Honeymoon in Dunquin

The location of this house is incredible and easy to find. It is very close to nearly all of the best sites on the Slea Head Drive. The drive to Dingle is beautiful and straightforward. The house itself is wonderful. The views are lovely. The accomodations, again, thoughtful and rustic, were more than enough to stay comfortably for a week. All appliances worked without issues. Communication with Sheelagh was seamless and quick. Sheelagh was very kind to give us recommendations for things to do and see throughout the peninsula, which were great. Overall, a perfect experience. We are so thankful to have stayed here on our idyllic honeymoon experience. Thank you so much!

Wonderful , warm well equipped house with outstanding views of Blasket islands .

The photos cannot do justice to either the wonderful house or breathtaking views . We spent a great week in Sheelaghs house We arrived on a dark and rainy afternoon but the weather was fast forgotten on stepping into such a warm and welcoming house . There was plenty of room for everyone to find their own space to relax. Luckily we had good weather for most of our stay and took full advantage of the great garden and nearby amenities. There is do much to do and see with great walks at your doorstep. It is truly a wonderful, well equipped house in a stunning location. Thanks Sheelagh and for your local tips and advice .

Wonderful Vacation House

The description of this house does not do it the justice it deserves. It is comfortable and homey; well appointed and spacious. The view from the front yard and windows is simply spectacular. We loved exploring the surrounding area, but also enjoyed staying at the house and reading books, and having the children play in the large front yard. Do stock up on food items in Dingle -- then you won't have to leave the house for days and can enjoy the end of the Dingle peninsula. We stayed in many houses during our three weeks in Ireland, this house was by far our favorite. There are many things do to in the area. We loved our day on the Blasket Islands most of all.

Already Dreaming of a Return Trip

To say that we did not want to leave this home is an understatement. Dunquin and the beauty of the Dingle peninsula and the Blasket Islands left us spellbound and planning a return trip before we had even checked out. The views out all of the west windows are jaw dropping and many of the other views are pretty incredible as well (whether looking over a sheep field or the surrounding countryside). The home was comfortable and a great fit for our family as we cooked most of our meals. I loved how Sheelagh has interspersed local art to showcase the culture, beauty and history of this part of Ireland. If you love hiking, photography or just wide-open spaces, spend the majority of your time on this side of the peninsula. Though we had fun in Dingle town (multiple games played at the chip and putt course across from downtown), on a return trip I would limit that to a max of two days and just explore the trails, vistas and other towns of the peninsula. The road that leads to the laneway to the home is directly across from the entrance to The Blasket Center (don't follow the pinned directions from VRBO as that will take you in the wrong direction). We found the center's cafe a lovely place to grab breakfast or lunch (note no real breakfast options for those with common food allergens though). You're around the corner from Dunquin Pier and its amazing views. Tips for future guests: pack your own washcloths and a sharp chef's knife (if you're traveling locally) and arrive before dark.

This house is the perfect base from which to explore the Dingle peninsula. There are a number of fabulous walks from the house itself. You are located a short drive from the Blasket ferry, a beautiful beach and only 15 minutes from Dingle's restaurants and pubs. The kitchen is very well equipped and the house is full of things to do on a wet day. I wouldn't change a thing.

An amazing how and what a view

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.

Superb location to discover the beautiful walks and scenery along the Dingle Way. The views from the house of the Blasket Islands are truly spectacular and the house is perfect to sit and watch the ever changing landscape. The house is spacious yet homely and comfortable with a really well equipped kitchen (loved the local pottery). Would highly recommend to anyone hoping to explore this beautiful part of Ireland.

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

Host profile image
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.
