The furnishings in the house are older, but in good order. The kitchen was not completely clean. The appliances in the kitchen were spotty and there were crumbs in the cupboard. The gas cooker took some getting used to if you never cook with gas. Apart from that, the cobwebs and the associated spiders were a nuisance. There are very few water glasses and spoons in the house, there could be more. ##### Birgit E.

Comfortable and under floor heating meant always right temperature. Liking a log fire, this never needed. Being Kerry, one needs to be prepared for all weathers. This house very well suited to sitting in for hours -days where that weather forbids going out. Recommended, and without qualification would return for future trips ##### Brian T. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bryan S., Necedah, Wisconsin 28 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Property Just Wow.!!!! We just spent a week at this property and it was simply amazing, our biggest regret is that we did not actually spend enough time in the property itself because there is just so much to do in Ireland and a week is no where near enough time. the host was amazing despite the fact we never met them in person, but they were beyond helpful, answering questions, giving directions and even pointing out things to do in the area. The house itself is simply fantastic, if you are looking for amenities it has everything you can imagine including satellite television, and WIFI which is an absolute must. Views are spectacular, it is remote enough for privacy but still close enough to everything. We just find it impossible to find anything negative to say about it. We would love to stay again when we have more time, and highly reccomend for everyone. Bryan & Shelley ##### Bryan S. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roger J. 24 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A great week at Sea View Haven For some of us this was their first visit to Ireland, and for the remainder, their first visit to Kerry for many years. My only regret is that we had left it so long. Maybe it was because the weather was pretty good, that we enjoyed ourselves so much, but your house certainly helped. We all loved the spaciousness of the house and garden,the proximity to the beach and the variety of things to do. Thank you for leaving some provisions in for us, but where was the case of wine ? (joke). One or two very minor issues -maybe other British guests might have wanted to watch UK TV stations, although we were quite glad to get away from them. CDs are old technology now, but I would have liked to play some of ours. Overall, this was a memorable holiday . Thank you, Roger Johnson ##### Roger J. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eunan M., Dundonald 20 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent house in an excellent location We stayed here with our two daughters for two weeks. We’re regular visitors to Kerry, and this house gave us a great base to do the things we love doing in the Kingdom, as well as the opportunity to explore new places and experiences. The house itself is spacious and well laid out. It was very clean and had everything required for a great stay. The large utility room Is great, especially if you’re travelling with kids, as it can be used for getting ready for/coming back from beach excursions/long walks etc. The views from the house towards Reenroe Beach are amazing and can be enjoyed on the strand-facing veranda. The ample and private garden was great for our children. They spent plenty of time running around outside. We also had the bonus of watching Irish hares visit and play in the garden. The wood burning stove provides a great atmosphere in the evening and it’s fantastic to be able to have the fire on the go, look out at the sea and enjoy a glass of wine and a book. That’s another thing - a great library of classic literature, Irish interest (cuid acu as Gaeilge), contemporary fiction and non-fiction. Great added bonus if you enjoy reading. All in, we had a superb holiday here despite the weather being changeable at times, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Go raibh míle maith agaibh Maria agus John, is tá súil againn go mbeidh muid ábalta a theacht ar áis am éigean sa todhchaí. ##### Eunan M. Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Shirley W., Edmonton, Alberta, Canada 26 Feb 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Large house with sea view We did manage to have a lovely time here, and thoroughly enjoyed the changing sky and sea views. We were visited by a beautiful Irish Mountain Hare, loved listening to the birds, and saw some amazing starry nights. We were well situated to explore the Ring of Kerry and the Ring of Skellig. The owner, who does not live locally, was very welcoming by email and sent us a detailed list of directions, house rules, suggestions for restaurants and places to visit. There was mention of an instruction book in the house, but we didn't find one. We didn't fully appreciate how isolated the house was, but we did find it, and got used to the narrow, hedgerow-lined commute. Unfortunately, the house smelled badly of insecticide when we arrived, with a competing musty odor, and appeared not to have been used in a long time. But we swept up the dead flies and aired things out as best we could. I don't know if this is standard for Ireland, as this was our first visit, but some basic supplies were not provided. There was only one roll of toilet paper per bathroom - no extras. There was almost no dish soap, so we had to add water to the tiny bit that was there. There was no laundry soap, so our plans to do laundry on the last day before heading to Wales, was thwarted. There was no soap or shampoo for the shower. These are all things that could be easily fixed to make the next visitors feel more welcome and less hassled with small details while on vacation. Also, the light switches for the outdoor lights were taped off for some unknown reason. And there were no smoke detectors, even in the kitchen. There were several empty hooks on the walls, where there may have been a picture in the past. Thankfully, the beds were comfortable. This house has a lot of potential and with a few minor touchups could be amazing. ##### Shirley W. Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ríonach U. 21 Mar 2025 ##### Ríonach U.

It is isolated, so be aware of that, but that is what we were looking for so it was terrific. Could use one good day of maintenance to clean up dust, cobwebs, and especially replace numerous light bulbs that are out throughout the home, but otherwise just wonderful ##### Chad L.

We had an excellent holiday in Maria's house. The house is very well situated on the Ring of Kerry. It is spacious and very well equipped. Maria is also a very helpful host who is available to answer any questions. We highly recommend it! ##### Charlotte T. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Harriet H. 3 Apr 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Absolutely perfect stay We had to rearrange this trip 5 times due to Covid and a family illness. Maria couldn’t have been more understanding and flexible. Communication with her was excellent throughout. The property is in a stunning location with amazing views. The house is spacious and comfortable and perfect for a family or groups. There is lots to do in the area, we did a boat trip out to the Skelligs, Kells Bay Gardens and the tetrapod trackway on Valentia Island. We are keen astronomers and enjoyed stargazing at night. Would definitely go back. ##### Harriet H.
