About this property

Marina views, Kinsale, sleeps 20, owned by Exquisite Holiday Homes

You can find more pictures of the property at “Exquisite holiday homes” where you will find 7 large Kinsale properties.

We are Fáilte Ireland's Welcome Standard approved and approved accommodation located within the catchment of the Wild Atlantic Way

There are holiday homes with views, and then there is Marina View. From this stunning single-storey property you can see the Atlantic Ocean, the Bandon River and Kinsale Marina all at once. A panorama that stops guests in their tracks on arrival and keeps them coming back year after year.

Six beautifully appointed bedrooms sleeping up to 20 guests, generous open-plan living spaces, a fully equipped kitchen, and one of the finest family gardens of any holiday property in Ireland. Marina View sits just three minutes from the centre of Kinsale town, making it as convenient as it is beautiful.

Set entirely on one floor, it’s one of the most wheelchair accessible self-catering holiday homes on the Wild Atlantic Way. Ideal for multigenerational families, guests with limited mobility, parents with young children and anyone who simply wants space, comfort and breathtaking views.

The heart of Marina View is its wonderfully bright and spacious open-plan living area. A space that immediately feels like somewhere you want to spend a week. Four large sofas, gorgeous Bandon River views through the patio doors and a warmth and character that makes it equally perfect for a cosy movie night or a lively group evening in.

The dining area flows directly from the living space and seats 16 guests, with patio doors opening out to the exterior dining terrace, so that on a good evening the boundary between inside and outside simply disappears.

The kitchen is modern, spacious and fully equipped with every appliance and piece of equipment a group needs for a week of self-catering. A central island doubles as a breakfast bar and a natural gathering point. It’s the kind of kitchen where everyone ends up congregating, glass of wine in hand, while dinner is being prepared.

Don’t feel like cooking every night? We can arrange a private chef to come to Marina View and cook for your entire group, or point you towards the best restaurants and delivery options in Kinsale, just a three minute drive. Let us know when you enquire and we’ll take care of it.

Fantastic group house. We had 10 - all family members. The location is great and the esthetic of the house is very nice! Open and modern. The outdoors is lovely and the games and spaces to play with the kids are well thought out. I think it is popular as it is starting to show signs of wear and tear. Could use a bit of tlc and a deep cleaning. Overall very nice.

Spacious house in great location

The house offered some fun extras, like ping pong & a trampoline. We were nine adults, three generations and everyone found activities they enjoyed. The location of the house overlooking the water with spectacular sunsets was tranquil. The only limitation was in the pantry: no staples as every other rental on this two week trip provided salt, pepper, coffee, tea bags at a minimum.

Fabulous house!

We had an amazing stay at “Marina Views”, it was perfect for the nine of us. Lots of space. Very well set up, clean and welcoming. The owner was quick to respond to us. The views were spectacular and the property was beautiful. The beds were all comfortable and had lovely linens. We loved sitting in the gazebo, looking over the river having coffee in the morning. I really can’t say enough good things about this house and would highly recommend it especially if you are a large group.

Nice house but missing the homeliness

It is the small stuff that matters. Gorgeous home and setting is beautiful but be prepared for the bare minimal only…but you can’t be mad at the listing bc it warns you! Just no toiletries, washcloths, salt and pepper, etc so consider yourself warned! Otherwise clean and no complaints!

Gorgeous view of charming Kinsale

The house is sited on a hill overlooking the water and harbor of Kinsale. It is a large property, plenty of room for kids to enjoy the outside. The house is comfortable and spacious. The house could use a few things to make a stay easier. Figuring out the appliances and washer is a task. The instruction books have been shredded to some degree over the years, and it took far too long to figure out the different appliances. Some laminated simplified instructions would save alot of hassle. The house had so salt/pepper/sugar, basics that anyone would want to use in a kitchen. These are normal things in any house I've rented before. In addition, no tiny shampoo containers in the showers, and one of the three showers didn't drain, so was out of commission for the visit. Each person got one small towel to use. The house is great, the views sublime, and if there were just a few amenities it would help a lot.

Beautiful home, unhappy family members

The home is beautiful, situated just a few miles from the center of Kinsale. The ad for the home states that it sleeps 20, but has only 6 bedrroms and 3 bathrooms. We paid for 16 people, only had 14 people actually staying there(thank goodness), had to have people sleep on couches because the cot we were left were of very poor quality. Had to purchase 100 euros worth of towels because the owner provides 1 towel per person, and zero face towels! And there is no clothes dryer, so if you want to have clean clothing you had to wash the clothes in a tiny washing maching that sounded like it was going to explode every time we ran it, and then hang the clothes out to dry. Ireland is a beautiful country, Kinsale is a beautiful town, but it rains almost every day, so getting the clothes dry was quite a challenge. We left the propertythree days early just so we could find clean, dry towels and a hot shower.And a property advertising "sleeps 20" had enough hot water for maybe 10 people. So many times you ended up taking a cold shower. I would never stay at this place again, and would never recommend anyone stay there.

Great location

The view from this property was spectacular! The location was very close to the village of Kinsale. We never heard from property manager to check on our experience. The sliders in dining area were not attached so they fell off when opened. There were 13 of us and there was exactly 13 towels. That was inconvenient to say the least. The cots were uncomfortable and there was short supply of blankets and sheets.

In reply to your review, yes we leave 1 towel per guest for a 1 night stay. We also provide a washing machine and dryer. If there was something broken or not working in the property , why would you just leave it in a review and not tell the home owner at the time ,so we could of fixed it for you then, instead of us finding out here. Yes things break from time to time , likewise if you were short on sheets why would you not say at time of check in or when you noticed it, so it could be rectified then.🤷‍♂️

Can't wait to return

We absolutely loved the house. The pictures don't actually do it justice and waking up to those views, yes please. It was only a couple of minutes drive to the heart of kinsale for the shops etc.. kitchen was fully equipped. Place was immaculate. Games room was a big hit with us. The only one tiny negative is that we ran out of toilet paper on our 2nd evening so it would have been handy to have had more there (maybe there was but we looked and couldn't find it ) we were after a few drinks so couldn't go to the shops. So just a tip to the landlord to maybe leave more in the house for 12 guests but couldn't fault anything else. Were looking forward to returning.

What An absolutely beautiful place

we stayed at this house with my 5 friends. what an absolutely beautiful house. The view of this house is everything. very clean and very easy to check-in. the beds are very comfortable. just one thing annoyed us that when to check out cleaners were at the property for 10.45 am when we are allowed to check out at 11 am. we had to rush out the house to check out as cleaners were annoyed they had to wait outside. but its something small. Overall we really enjoyed staying in the house.
