Long awaited family vacation
I’d like to say that our experience met our expectations on this property, but it actually exceeded it. The property was remote and extremely peaceful, with direct access to a beach for long walks. There were 5 family members and the house was quite spacious. It was exactly what we were looking for. Dermot was an absolute gentleman of a host, and was quick to reply to any concerns or questions we had. We definitely plan to return to Dolphin Cottage!

Just Fabulous!
My siblings and I, along with our spouses used this fantastic house as our home base for our visits to so many of our ancestors history in western Ireland. It was the perfect place to land each evening, for cocktails watching the sunset over the water. The perfect place to reflect on our discoveries. The house is beautiful; the hostws so accommodating! We recommend it for your adventures out or just a quiet retreat.

The most AMAZING place to stay in the West coast!
This home to us for the last 2 week was the most AMAZING and gorgeous place to stay! Everything from our first contact with Dermot to the very last day was first class! Dermot was very quick to respond to our texts and recommended great places to visit. The house itself was also 5 star!!! The home was very clean, updated and so very quiet. And the view... Heaven on earth! If you have the chance to visit Ireland this is the place to stay! Thank you Dermot!

Amazing Holiday Home
Amazing holiday home with outstanding views and easy excess to the beach which is just at the bottom of the garden. This Holiday home was extremely high end with everything you could possibly need, the beds were very comfortable and the house was spotlessly clean. The host dermot, was very helpful and welcoming and without being intrusive was readily available with any queries. We would love to return to this beautiful house.

Beautifully home
The house was spacious, the kitchen was large and well equipped. The whole place was clean and even more beautiful than the listing suggested. It literally took a minute to walk to the beach, and the neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. I would absolutely recommend Dolphin cottage to a family or small group and would happily stay there again!

A Relaxing Week in a Beautiful Location
Everything about Dolphin Cottage suited us. The spacious of the house with its views and its immediate access to the beach meant that it was such an incredibly relaxing place to be. The house itself was stocked with everything you would need for a very easy and comfortable week away from home. All of our communications with the property were dealt with promptly and Dermot made sure that we were very well looked after. It was an absolute pleasure to stay in Dolphin Cottage and we look forward to returning there again next year - already booked!

Truly an exceptional house, location and vacation
Our stay here was exceptional. Dermot was very responsive and helpful. All 8 of us that stayed in the home were so pleased. The home is beautifully private and tucked away, but only minutes from Ballybunion and Listowel and many lovely sights. This is by far the nicest home we have booked on VRBO.

Peaceful - this property is some 10 kilometers from Ballybunion & location is so much better! Loved the kitchen, with picture window to the lawn & beach just beyond, which was so quiet that it was almost our own 'private' beach. Garden & grounds were immaculate.

Spacious and Secluded
We had a lovely stay at Dolphin Cottage. We watched horses on the beach, traveled Conner's Pass (SleaHead too) and took a marine tour to the Blasket Islands where we watched seals, dolphins and Minke whales. We had a lovely dinner at Danno's before stopping in the Dingle pubs for live music. Thank you Dermot for hosting us!

Fabulous and faultless!
Our family of 5 had the most amazing time at this gorgeous house overlooking, and just a few steps down to, Littor Strand. The view onto the beach and across to Co Clare was stunning. We even spotted dolphins swimming by a couple of mornings. It was just the secluded break away our family needed after a hectic relocation back from living in the USA. The house has everything one could need including beach towels and toys, a BBQ, fire pit and provided logs. Nearby Astee has a small grocery store for any essentials and Ballybunion has a good Super Valu with an even bigger one in Listowel. Dolphin cottage has the best of both worlds: total seclusion at the house yet there is still plenty to do within a very short drive… golfing and surfing in Ballybunion, a trip into the literary town of Listowel, a visit to Carrigfoyle castle or a ferry ride from Tarbert across to Clare for a drive out around Loop Head, or you could comfortably get to the Cliffs of Moher and back in a day too. A visit further west is another great day trip to visit Castlegregory, Brandon point and/or Dingle. There is so much to do.. if you can pull yourself away from the serenity of the house!
