Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Cork

I stayed at Janet’s at the start of the Easter holidays with my husband, two children and mother. We had an absolutely wonderful time. The location and view were fantastic, and the cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. Janet was incredibly helpful and the whole experience was just what we hoped for. We’re already planning when we might be able to come back!

Beautiful and extremely clean house short distance from the town center! Patricia is a great host, highly recommend this place

Wow, this place is amazing. It felt like staying at a family members house. Well stocked with everything, from linen's to kitchen appliances, to hair dryer, it has everything you could ever need. It was a short, beautiful walk down to the Cross Haven village that had amazing pubs and restaurants. Special thanks to the neighbors that helped the uber find us when my phone stopped working (my fault for not getting internationally calling! ) Truly a wonderful and peaceful home for a perfect seaside vacation.

We had a wonderful few days in Una’s place. Location was second to none….everything you need around the corner. House was cosy , clean and comfortable. Would happily go again.

The house is quirky and Maureen is a warm and welcoming host!

We had a wonderful stay. The property was comfortable, and we'll appointed. Felt like a home from home. Mary was super helpful, especially when we were idiots and couldn't find the lockbox after arriving at 1am. Lovely short walk into the town, where we found lots of yummy places to eat, some incredible shops and plenty of pubs. Couldn't have asked for anything more from our stay.

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!!

Very nice house in a lovely setting. There were only 5 of us that stayed for just 1 night, but the house is set up to host many more people. Wished we could have stayed longer. Lovely meeting Mary who met us at the house and made sure we were got in ok and to let her know if we needed anything. Overall, a very pleasant experience and would recommend to others.

The Old Presbytery was a delight! Noreen, who lives in the apartment collection, was there to meet us when we arrived and was highly attentive to all our needs and questions. The apartment itself was clean, well equipped, and well organized. The location couldn't have been more perfect: literally a stone’s throw from the cafés and shopping of delightful central Kinsale. We will definitely return to it if we come back to Kinsale.

Noreen was a great host who went above and beyond to make sure my family and I had what we needed during our stay. For example, she purchased sheets for a playpen, bought milk and chocolate/cookies, and provided a change pad for our little one. Her place is very spacious and quiet. It also is great for traveling with a baby. Location wise - it is about 10-15 mins walk from the centre of town and the walk is nice. Parking was great and easy to get in and out. We would have liked to have a bit more amenities in the kitchen, just because we ate in quite a bit for dinner with our 5 month old, but that said, it was sufficient to get by. I would recommend her place.

Stayed in Killarney’s during a road trip holiday of Ireland - the place is great and has all the essentials. Our host was super responsive when we couldn’t figure out the heating and the location is exceptionally central with easy access to restaurants, pubs and nightlife. Would definitely recommend!

Angela, was a great host and was very proactive and kind. The house was wonderful and my whole family enjoyed their stay. We recommend this location to anyone looking for a wonderful place to stay in cork .

We had a great stay at Nora’s place. She was so helpful and gave us lots of local recommendations. Thanks for sharing with us!

Really enjoyed my stay. Liams Space is in a great location. Close to some nice pubs and restaurants and also in a quiet area so not to loud at night. Liam was very helpful and was great to respond to any questions. I would highly recommend this place

I can not say enough great things about this location and the hosts. We had a wonderful 4 days and can not wait to come back again. Beautiful garden and views, very clean and comfy and everything you could ever want ! Thanks so much.

Good apartment in an excellent location, with a fully equipped kitchen and small double bed. We had a very good stay!

Very responsive and kind! Showed us around and were so kind.

Stay here and you will not be disappointed! It’s even better than the pictures! Julie is an excellent host and adds some special touches to this apartment that made us feel welcomed! The kitchen is well stocked and she provided some local items that made us fall even more in love with the food of Ireland. The entire apartment was squeaky clean and extra bed blankets were provided if needed. The bed was comfortable and there was plenty of room for our suitcases and traveling gear. It was very rainy and she provided an umbrella to help keep dry. This is the perfect location for a Ring of Kerry trip. We were on the second floor apartment and it had beautiful views of the farmer’s field. Julie was readily available for any questions or just a good chat about life in general.

The house was perfect! Better than I expected. The house has everything that we could need and more. So often airbnbs have the bare minimum but Bernie has thought of everything you could need including homemade bread and butter when we arrived. Super friendly and communicative. The house is perfectly situated. Couldn’t have stayed in a better place

Beautiful spotless appt very centrally located in the town ,yet quiet at night .Very thoughtful plate of sandwiches and other food goodies left for arrival v.much appreciated after long drive .Kitchen was well stocked which meant I didn’t have to bring the kitchen sink if I wanted to cook Camilla was very friendly and helpful without being intrusive.The only issue I had was that I would have loved to have the time to stay a few days longer

John's place was fantastic! He was an excellent host as well. the home is only around 5 years old with great amenities and super clean. We have done a number of airbnb's and this one is certainly one of our favorites. We had privacy to get out of town but was within 15 minutes of some attractions we really enjoyed which are: Ring of Kerry, Torc falls (could have planned an extra hour there just a walk in a beautiful woods), Muckross Abbey and the show Celtics Steps which you don't want to miss.

Location location!!, The apartment has everything thing you need,For a stay here in Castlegregory. Thank you Maura😊

We had a wonderful stay at this peaceful and beautiful cottage as a family of four adults. The house was very comfortable, and Laura was a fantastic host. She thoughtfully left us some food and milk, which was such a nice touch. Having a car made it easy to reach the charming town of Kinsale, just a quick drive away. Laura also provided excellent recommendations for dining, and every place she suggested was exceptional. Overall, it was a comfortable stay, and we would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in the area.

Amazing apartment and spot less though out James is an excellent host and we will be returning next year for the west cork rally 2026
