Beachfront vacation rentals in Bantry Bay

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 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!

Amazing location and a super easy check in process. The views were stunning and the house was spotless!

Second time staying at the Lazy Acre! Always a great time staying in this lovely home. Great location (ten-minute walk from the town centre or Celtic Ross), close to the beach (Warren Beach), peaceful and very clean. The house can fit a group of seven people for a weekend. Booked the Lazy Acre again for the Rosscarbery Surf Turf and Tar. Anne and Gerry are lovely hosts, as always. Very responsive, respectful and very helpful with recommendations. Can’t wait to book it again for next year.

Beautiful house in a stunning location right beside the pier on Sherkin Island. Excellent facilities in the house and really comfortable.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Beautiful location, with easy access to beach. House was spacious well equipped and spotlessly clean. Michelle was very helpful and responsive to any queries. Would highly recommend

A beautiful three days in a magical place and Anthony and Jane were lovely people 🥰

wow! This was a home away from home for our holiday. my two toddlers settled so well and were so happy in this beautiful house. Mairead has though of everything you could need but especially appreciated when it came to the children. the play room and sand pit was well used. kitchen was a dream to cook in. the view overlooking inch is stunning. a special mention for the showers which always had hot water and great pressure. We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be back and will recommend to everyone. a big thank you for the Easter eggs for the children and wine for Mom and Dad on arrival. very appreciated after our long trip. 🙂

Beautiful part of the country, stunning location, amazing house. All you could ask for.

We fell in love with this house. It’s in a beautifully secluded spot with direct access to the water. We swam each morning and it was bliss. The layout of the house is great, with a large open plan kitchen, dining and living room and a gorgeous deck that gets the sun. The surrounding area is stunning. We particularly liked the Buddhist centre and vegetarian cafe, which is in a gorgeous spot with breathtaking views. Would love to go back and spend more time exploring.

Beautiful location, Hélène was so helpful. House in the perfect location. Very easily could park up and stay here for the whole trip, the beach and a nice pub/restaurant just 5 minutes walk from the house. The location also a great base for exploring further afield.

Claire's place is everything as advertised and more, we had beach walks, forest walks, mountain treks and came back to a home away from home, it was lovely and comfy. We didn't need Claire for much as there was nothing wrong but we did have the pleasure of meeting with her and that just added to the overall experience, she is super friendly and a wealth of local knowledge. Thank you Claire, we had a wonderful time, and will be seeing you again soon hopefully. Michelle, Paddy, Raychel and Pauric xx

Thanks Donal and Jessica The house was lovely and peaceful place to stay. Wonderful view

we had a wonderful time in this unbelievably peaceful location. many thanks.

Amazing place, homely with all you need to self cater, location with private access to a beautiful beach makes the place extra special. Highly recommend

We loved ever second of our stay here. Perfect for a big family/group holiday.. the house was spotless, spacious and the kitchen was equipped with everything you could possibly need. There was a gorgeous welcome basket waiting for us with bubbly, cheeses, chocolate, coffee, etc. - a very nice touch that was much appreciated! Beautiful outdoor area with brand new bbq and seats, over looking amazing views of the sea. Sitting room was very cosy with stove which was used most nights! All bedrooms were very comfortable and showers were 10/10. There was very much a luxurious feel to the place with a lot of attention to detail - like great quality towels and linen, diffusers, etc.! Location wise , 5-10 mins from ballydehob- ideal for coffees in the AM, and 10 mins from Schull with nice lunch spots and pub! We can’t wait to come back! Exceeded our expectations! Thank you Gillian!

Had a perfect week here. We took paddle boards with us which was great fun. The house itself was incredibly spacious and so well equipped with everything it was like being in someone's home. The cupboards had everything we needed in the way of condiments, sauces, tea etc. Also having 2 dishwashers made eating at home so easy.

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

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!

Alan and Elaine are unbelievable hosts. Trust me you get way more than what you pay for in this place. Words can’t express how awesome and majestic the view is of Lough Guitane. Two families (4 adults and 7 kids ages 5-14) stayed six nights and saw a lot of the area thanks to Alan and his awesome recommendations. Five large bedrooms give us plenty of room for everyone. Plenty of very nice and well kept washrooms, a wonderfully large kitchen and sitting areas facing the lake with gigantic floor to ceiling windows give you a great view of the lake. The kids appreciated the gaming systems in the “second” sitting room. There were plenty of toys outside to play with. The kids spent a lot of time on these outdoor toys (racing trikes and mini tractors etc). If you’re into animals, you’re in for a treat as the sheep, cows, ducks and hens were all visiting in their neighbouring pasture regularly. The kids loved checking on them and even gave them names. The water is a very short walk down to the beach (perhaps 100m) on the same property. From there you can canoe or kayak (provided by the hosts) or even swim, which we all did with regularity. I strongly recommend hiking mangerton mountain, which is a five min drive away. Laundry room, kitchen supplies, freezer, spices, there was everything we needed. What a wonderful place to stay! Highly recommend.

My family loved being here for Christmas. It is one of the most beautiful settings we’ve ever seen and so incredibly peaceful. We cooked every day and found the kitchen very well appointed for our family of five.

A wonderful location. The house was amazing with everything one could wish for. I would love to come back again.
