About this property
Beautiful Home above Sandycove Beach! Fishing, Bird Watching, Walking, Swimming!
Sandycove Self Catering is a modern bungalow located in quiet, peaceful area with beautiful sea views of the cliffs and Atlantic Ocean. Sandycove beach is adjacent (100 metres) to the property; ideal for swimming, fishing, and bird watching. Occasionally whales, dolphins and basking sharks are seen in Sandycove Bay. Seals are an everyday occurrence. Castletownsend village is 3 km away and is one of the most unspoiled and picturesque villages in West Cork. Skibbereen is 10KM from the house also.
