Beachfront vacation rentals in Cork

Fantastic location and view. The property was very clean and well set up. Great for simply enjoying the immediate surroundings as well as a base for exploring the wider area.

We had a wonderful stay at the Beach House! Location, location, location is what it was all about, just stunning! Great outdoor and indoor space for all of the family. We all enjoyed the sauna and it was just a pity that the hot tub was not in use, but it did not spoil anything. The only thing to be mindful of is the shortage of hot water when taking a shower, which i think has been mentioned in previous reviews. However, overall it's the most amazing location and house for a break in West Cork and we really hope we will be back one summer in the future!

We love Beara and are so pleased to have found Baile Beag. This is our second time to stay there. It’s so soothing and nested into the land and the house is so cosy and homely.

We stayed in one of the Bell tents on (very) short notice and Matt was very helpful and friendly. The tent was bigger than we expected and absolutely exceeded our expectations. It was spotless and in a beautiful location, surrounded by nature. The bathrooms were spotless and the kitchen was perfect for our short stay. Matt was also very helpful giving us a recommendation for the Fastnet Bar for food. After seeing the full location I would absolutely recommend to everyone and would definitely return to stay in one of the GeoDomes or EcoCabins!

Brilliant few days in Arti’s. The place is so peaceful and quiet with amazing views. While you need a car to get them, there are lots of nice amenities to drive to close by, but the real draw is the ability to go off grid for a few days in beautiful surroundings. Arti is also a super responsive and helpful host. Enjoy!

What a beautiful place, and what a view! We definitely didn’t stay long enough and if they’ll have us back, we’d like to stay longer next time. Martin & Claire were fantastic hosts and made my family feel so welcome. I really appreciate all the efforts they went to for us and we really loved our stay. Looking forward to seeing you again next year! Many Thanks Again!

We had a lovely stay in your comfortable cottage. It was ideally located for us as we toured around Loop Head.

The creativity cabin is a wonderful home away from home. There is gorgeous mountain and sea views and plenty of opportunities to see the nearby wildlife. Anne is an outgoing and friendly host who is also very respectful of guests privacy. The cats are also wonderful :)

Admiral House was the perfect spot for family getaway on beautiful Bere Island. The house was clean and had every amenity needed including a stroller and high chair for a toddler. Lots to explore on the island and there are 2 local ferries for day trips to Beara Peninsula. The host and her grandma were so kind dropping off Irish bread and a quiche. All in all a lovely visit would highly recommend for a quiet relaxing time.

Such a beautiful location and Tracey was so helpful with local recommendations and accurate directions!

Simply lovely, from the very start it was an amazing stay, arrived at the house at an earlier time than check in which was very accommodating of Marie, we found the house very clean and had everything you want, there really is nothing she is missing if you plan on staying and making meals for yourself. It really is amazing layout in the house and lots of space. The hot tub, the bath and the separate shower with the rain shower head and the regular one is really magnificent! The area is so easy to go explore the Dingle peninsula from. Would definitely recommend to anyone and would return again!

Bernie's Rest is one of those rare finds that you hesitate to review—not because it doesn't deserve it, but because it so deserves it that you're tempted to keep it a secret. From the moment we arrived, Dominic and Gráinne made us feel completely at home, striking the perfect balance of warm hospitality and genuine care. The cottage itself is a beautifully converted haven perched right on the water’s edge, where nature truly wraps around you. From birds feeding their young to the cheerful cluck of the most charming, friendly chickens you’ll ever meet, the whole setting brings a deep sense of peace and joy. Inside, the home is perfect, a fully equipped kitchen, a fantastic shower, cozy and stylish living area with strong WiFi and a great TV, and the kind of bed that makes you want to sleep in, just a little bit longer. Whether you're doing nothing, or setting out to explore the wild beauty of Loop Head, this place is a couple’s dream getaway. We will be back, thanks Gràinne & Dominic.

Aimee’s boathouse is the perfect escape. From the moment we arrived, we felt relaxed and truly cared for. Aimee clearly has a gift for hosting—evident in every thoughtful detail, from the beautiful interior styling and luxurious linens to the homemade treats and indulgent skincare products. The surrounding landscape is breathtaking—lush, open, and serene. We felt completely immersed in nature. The amenities made our stay effortless. We especially loved the cozy firepit and the perfectly appointed little kitchen, ideal for preparing simple, comforting meals. The outdoor seating area quickly became our favorite spot—perfect for enjoying a sunset drink and, as it turns out, a proposal! We feel incredibly lucky to have gotten engaged in such a special place. Thank you so much to these wonderful hosts for creating such a magical experience.

Nice place, views are amazing. It’s not as private as the photos suggest, it’s attached to another house/apartment, but it’s still lovely. Needs an extractor fan, we set off the smoke alarm twice with some light cooking. The apartment is spotless, modern, warm and comfortable. The area is quiet and the beach at the end of the lane is 10/10

This is a great apartment to stay in to explore Dungarvan. We were here for the fabulous Waterford Food Festival in April, and we were delighted to stay in such a central spot. Very clean, beautiful views, good communication. 5 star location.

Lovely quaint old cottage in beautiful garden with stream flowing past and right beside the beach. Very peaceful. Can go sea swimming and walk to Ardmore village via the beach and quiet laneways. Marie was really friendly and helpful. The Waterford Greenway is 20 min drive away and there's a lovely cliff walk in Ardmore. Plenty of woodland walks a little drive away. There's no central heating so it can be a bit chilly depending on the time of year. It has a fire/ stove though with logs provided, electric blankets on the beds, a superser heater and 2 electric heaters.

A beautiful home in a beautiful part of Ireland. A lovely stay which allowed us to relax and enjoy a slower pace of life with coastal walks, beach days and reading by the river. Des was a great host and looked after us extremely well. Nothing was too much bother. The house is beautiful...lots of space to relax. The fire pit and the BBQ were enjoyed by the whole family. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and hope to return sometime in the future.

Amazing and unique experience with incredible waterfront views. Saoirse was very welcoming prior to our trip and checked in frequently before we arrived. Her instructions were clear and the house was immaculate, well-equipped, and beautifully decorated. We felt like we were at home the minute we walked in the door, and were blown away with the amenities and views. The house is a short walk from the beach/boardwalk and the town center, but you don't even have to leave the house to have a great experience here.

We loved our holiday at Eimear and Eoin's home! It was a lovely place to spend Easter and celebrate our daughter's birthday. The home is perfectly located on the water and had everything we needed. They were very responsive to any inquiries and helpful with any questions. The layout of the house is great for a family with plenty of space and spectacular views. We can't wait to return.

A beautiful spacious home steps away from a gorgeous coastline. We had everything we needed for our family of five. Or grandson loved throwing stones in the bay! Lovely sunsets over Inch Strand. Enjoyable walk to the local coffee shop and pub/restaurant. Most of Kerry’s attraction are within a short drive. We loved it here. Perfect week of weather too!

We stayed in Dave’s home for 3 nights but wanted to stay forever. The home is well equipped, cosy, cool artwork and loads of records to listen to. The mature garden is stunning to relax in and look over the ocean. Down the end of the garden is steps to the beach where we spent the whole weekend swimming and kayaking - absolute heaven! We brought a kayak but there was even one for us to use at the house! It’s literally beside a lovely little pub and a few minutes walk from a restaurant (the mussels are so fresh and tasty!). We enjoyed every minute and Dave was a fantastic host. Thanks! Robin & Danny

Best Airbnb experience we've ever had! Here are a few things that make Heron's Rest so special; spectacular views loads of space practical, well-equipped kitchen supremely comfy beds, linens and pillows great showers laundry room with washer and dryer lovely, separate dining room with views overlooking the Harbor spacious bedrooms with room to store and hang clothes amazing quiet great walks (forest and sea) accessible from the house The one thing that made our stay truly special, though, was Robert, who should be hired by Airbnb to teach Hosting! From the remarkably thoughtful welcome basket that included spaghetti and pasta sauce, fresh baked bread, local cheeses, biscuits / crackers, chocolate, a delicious locally produced Relish, etc. to his enthusiasm and local knowledge (the English Market in Cork City Center was great) he made our Airbnb stay very special. Thank you again!

We had a most comforatable and enjoyable stay at Robert's Anchorage home. It was very well equipped, lovely location and thoughtfully presented. Robert's instructions were timely, clear and helpful.

An elegant house in a truly beautiful location. Our whole family (toddlers to grandparents) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lough Hyne. Tim, the property manager, could not have been more helpful and responsive to any requests. Missing it already and definitely would stay there again another year!
