House rentals in Kenmare

Large house close to town
Maureen is a wonderful host. We had a late check-in, she waited for us, told us how and what to use in the house, recommended places to visit, bought us food, which was very nice of her. The house is located on a tranquil street, but at the same time, there is a shop nearby and only about 30 minutes to the city center. All photos correspond to reality. The house has everything necessary for a comfortable stay, and we felt at home. Many thanks, Maureen, we had a lovely stay and will be happy to return to your home again!

New Bungalow with balcony views of Kerry
A beautiful and spacious place with stunning views. Joe was incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. It was the perfect base for exploring Dingle and County Kerry. We would absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

Entire House in the very centre of Killarney.
Spacious, comfortable place, right in the heart of Killarney. Easy access with a key box, and a very proactive and helpful host. We were very satisfied. Only tiny things might be lacking, such as hooks in the bathroom for your towels. A great place, I recommend it to everyone.

Kenmare Town Hse, spacious family home
My partner, 6 mo daughter and I stayed at Bernadette’s townhouse for three nights while in Kenmare as part of a larger road trip. We felt comfortable, safe and extremely taken care of. The home is nestled in a quiet residential area not far from the town center. It was exactly what we were looking for; far enough away from any busyness but an easy walk or drive into town. The beds were all comfortable; the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed; the living space was nice and comfy. It was great to have so much space, especially with a baby. Bernadette was very responsive to our questions and helpful with recommendations; she even left some nice touches like fresh flowers and fruit! I would definitely recommend this Airbnb!!

Gearha, Beaufort, Killarney
Beautiful property and house! My family and I had a wonderful time. We loved the area of the house, always had something to do and explore. We really enjoyed all the animals close by. I would definitely recommend this home.

Beautiful Modern Home In Dingle 5 min walk to town
Really beautiful house and so close to the town. Views out the windows were incredible. Ideal location for exploring Dingle and Shea Head Drive etc

Entire house Killarney town centre
We spent a long weekend over Easter here after riding the train in from Dublin. On foot, the house is close to the restaurants and shops in downtown Killarney yet in a quiet neighborhood. We rented a car and could park off street by the front door. The kitchen was well equipped and we bought provisions to cook dinner in twice. Pam was a super host. We appreciated the fresh bread, butter, jam and fruit and the coffee and tea she provided. Not something I expect from an Airbnb host but helped make our arrival and stay delightful.
