Beachside holiday home in stunning location overlooking the wild Atlantic way.

"It would be difficult to imagine a more ideal place to spend time in Kerry. Close to the beach, hiking trails, a small village with a pub and food store; and yet a feeling of privacy and isolation as well. Fresh blackberries were plentiful in the brambles around the home. A well-stocked kitchen, books and games made it feel like a home; you can tell the place is well-loved by its owners. We loved it too!"
