We were traveling in a large family group and everyone in our group absolutely loved this house!!The house is large, clean and comfortable, and so close to the town of Killarney, as well as all of the activities in the National Park. We had space to spread out among the multiple bedrooms and there were plenty of bathrooms for everyone. Having parking on the driveway for multiple cars was also very helpful.This was our favorite stay while in Ireland.

We came to Killarney to attend a family wedding, and this property was fantastic for the 15 of us. It was so spacious and well appointed. There was everything we could have asked for. The yard was lovely for the kids to play in. The living room was comfortable, though the couch was almost too inviting it was hard to leave.The kitchen and bathrooms had everything we could have wanted and more. It was so nice to have hair dryers in every room.We would definitely stay again the next time we’re in Killarney.

Place is perfect for a visiting golf group. We had 8 comfortably in the house. The pictures of the common space doesn't do it justice. There's quite a bit more room than the pictures lead on. Location was great. Quick cab to the center of Killarney and a reasonable drive to all the major courses in Kerry County. We did Waterville, Ballybunion, Dooks, GC of Killarney, and Tralee. Highly recommend!

This was a very comfortable home with 6 bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms. Communication was good. The kitchen was well appointed. Some will find the wood floor upstairs a bit annoying as they creak loudly with each step. The interior of the house was clean.

This house was perfect for our group of eight golfers! It was spacious and comfy, well equipped and clean. We made use of the spa to dry off some of our golf stuff, and the location was pretty central to most of the courses we played. We also walked into town for dinner and drinks.

Markets, Tesco and Lidl, nearby too. Plenty to do and see/experience in Kerry from this home in Killarney.

Second stay at this property

This was our group second stay at this house. We are group of 8 golfers playing in the Killarney area. The last time we stay was pre-Covid in 2019, they were going to redo all the bathrooms, and they came out great. Ever room has a shower, a double size living room, well stocked kitchen and laundry. I would recommend this place if you are golfing in the area. The on site property manager is great and quickly, address our only one small issue.

Great location for golf trip

Perfect for a 3-4 day golf vacation. We played 3 courses within an hours drive. A 5 minute drive to Killarney for dinner, drinks and entertainment. The house is in a neighborhood that is a bit hard to find. This house seems to be the best one. We did not cook in the unit, but seems to have everything you need, minus an ice maker. Perhaps a stand alone maker would be a nice addition. Nice backyard with a table. A farm in the backyard which offers a nice view from 2nd floor bedroom. Instant hot water. Steam and sauna, unfortunately no time for that. Good communications with owner and local guy. Suggestion, turn one of front formal rooms into game room with pool table.

Amazing house!

The Sanctuary was a fantastic house for our extended family trip to Ireland. Being together at the house really made this a memorable experience because we were able to hang out together. We had 16 people stay and we were able to entertain the larger family group here as well. The bedrooms were all very well appointed - comfortable beds, down pillows, great linens and each with their ensuite. Many enjoyed the spa room with the sauna and steam shower after a long day of sightseeing. The kitchen was well equipped for entertaining and plenty of space for food and drinks between the multiple refrigerators. Roger was very helpful upon our arrival and helping us set up the grill. We had hired a motorcoach for our large group and didn't rent cars and Roger provided names for taxi drivers that were prompt and friendly and it was only 5-7 min ride into town - we probably could have walked. Gorgeous views out the back of the house and quiet lovely neighborhood. Loved staying here!

Great family reunion

We held a family reunion in July and we found this property perfect. Most of the families came from Ireland but we travelled from China. The open plan "American style" kitchen and living area were perfect for our families to gather together. We were sightseeing during the day and cooked in every night as we were such a large group. Close to town, the National park, the gap of Dunloe and a great area called high ropes with zip lines it was centrally located. The details such as the high quality mattresses and bed linens made for very comfortable sleeping. The property seemed brand new! We had the full 16pp but rearranged a bit so that our elderly mum could have her own room while some of kids slept on an air mattress we brought. It worked very well. We had a problem with the amazing tv and called the care taker who was over quickly to fix it. I highly recommend this property.

'Our passion of traveling the world to different golf destinations inspired us to build a home that offers both American-quality amenities, and a location central to my beloved home town of Killarney and its world-class golfing and attractions.' Roger O'Sullivan

Why they chose this property

We had been searching for a unique property in this area for some time, and once this one became available we knew it was what we were looking for. We purchased this property because of its size and location: nestled in a quiet neighborhood, yet close enough to walk into town and enjoy all that Killarney has to offer.

What makes this property unique

The amenities of this home and the proximity to Killarney town are unmatched. A large, modern kitchen is perfect for entertaining, and each room offers a memory foam bed to ensure the perfect night's rest after a day of activities. The spa room offers peace and tranquility that will help you relax and feel pampered.
