Very special!
We stayed here just for a single night but the location and views were just stunning. A nice change of pace coming from Dublin and really wish we had more time. Extremely cozy environs with everything you could ask for in terms of bedding, bath, and kitchen. Do yourself a favor and book some time here!

Less than thrilled.
Although the accommodation was clean and comfortable and did have an ocean view, the general surroundings were far from what was described or expected for the high price we paid. The exterior and immediate surroundings were pretty unsightly, leaving us quite underwhelmed. Simple basics like paper towel, facial tissues and a coffee maker were not available. The bedrooms have motion sensors that illuminate with almost every movement within the room. We have always had great luck with VRBO, but found this property lacking.

Stunning Views and Stay
Cierra's Ireland home is absolutely perfect for your next trip! I traveled with five guests, including my 2-year-old son, who now can’t stop talking about wanting to go back to the beach. The location is stunning, with breathtaking ocean views that made our stay magical. This was my first trip to Ireland, and I’m already looking forward to staying here again. The rooms were incredibly spacious and spotless. Cierra, the host, was fantastic—super friendly and communicative. She was so accommodating when our plane was delayed, ensuring a smooth check-in even though we arrived past midnight. Thank you so much for everything!

What a pleasant surprise we found when we entered this property. The views were absolutely amazing! Easy access to beach, pub, grocery store, and town. Very beautiful relaxing accommodations. One of the top 3 on our 2 week tour of Ireland. Definitely will come back.

Super spot by the water and an excellent host
Booked last minute for a weekend with my family. Communication with Ciara was grat from the outset. Ciara replied to some non-house related topics also. The house was superb. Perched pretty much at the end of the harbour wall. Amazing view from every window. Balconies front and back offer shelter from whatever way the wind decides to blow. The inside was spotless, uncluttered and really nicely finished. Ciara had some really nice touches in the house for us on arrival too. Communication was great and timely all the way through to checkout. Great base for exploring Carlingford, Slieve Gullion and the Mourne's. Highly recommend. We'd stay again.

Loved this property and the location - we had a great time. Super clean, warm and everything you needed for a cosy stay. We enjoyed the views so much and the walks - a place for any kind of weather really. Ciara was a great host - warm and very helpful. Couldn’t have asked for more!

Best VRBO I’ve ever stayed at!
Seriously this place is perfection. It’s so much better than the pictures. The host Ciara was responsive and so nice! The views cannot be beat and it just has this relaxing vibe that makes you feel instantly at home. Very close to Carlingford and Dundalk but feels very private and unique. Worth every penny!

This property could get 10 stars if the ratings went that high. There are water views out of ever window. Two second floor decks. Bedrooms are on the first floor so no lugging luggage to the second floor. Will stay here again next time we are in the area.

Little slice of heaven in Carlingford
I could go on for days with only good things to say about the Pilot House and Ciara as a hostess. She was incredibly responsive leading up to our delayed check in (our fault) and remained flexible, staying patient with us along the way. When we finally arrived, there was wine and a basket of treats, coffee and teas to welcome us…exactly what we needed after a long day. The location is perfect; right on the water and in a quiet neighborhood where everyone you pass on the street is pleasant and welcoming. The view of the Irish Sea is spectacular the house is set up in a way to maximize the viewing experience. The interior is incredibly clean and has all the amenities you could want. The beds were super comfortable and we had some of the best sleep on our trip during this stretch. We traveled around all of Ireland over a 10 day stretch and our only regret is that we didn’t spend more time at The Pilot House. We enjoyed our stay immensely and are already talking about when we should return. Book The Pilot House, you’ll be glad you did.
