About Carol Carty

We (Carol and Enda Carty) purchased newly-built Curlew Cottage in 2006 as a home-from-home for our young family and four-legged friends after we fell in love with Kerry while visiting relatives. With our children now older we have decided to share our special hideaway with discerning guests who appreciate the country life and the beauty of North Kerry. As dog owners we particularly appreciate the difficulty of finding high-quality accommodation that accepts pets, so we make a point of welcoming responsible dog owners.

We love our second home and hope you'll fall in love with it and the surrounding area as much as we have.

Carol Carty purchased this bungalow in 2006
Why Carol Carty chose Tralee & North Kerry

What do we love about North Kerry? Where do we start!?

We love the music, the pubs, the chat and the craic. We love the fresh air and fresh food, the local markets and the craft fairs. We love it that we can hide away in the country but be in town in a matter of minutes if there's anything we need.

We love our 'secret' beach! Tucked away behind the nearby golf course - which you can see from the house - this mile-long sandy stretch is known only to locals and guests - on a crowded day you might find 25 people there. The water is clean, the beachcombing is good, and the view is stunning. We walk and swim there year-round -- yes, the crazy half of this couple has been known to swim in midwinter -- and if you have a dog be sure and bring a ball!

We love the country life, and with the house surrounded by farmland and sea there is always something to watch or listen for. One frosty morning we heard the curlews calling in the estuary - hence the name of our house. And on a clear night you'll have an almost limitless view of the night sky with the Milky Way painting a bold streak across the constellations.

To help our guests enjoy the same special qualities of the area that we do, we have compiled a list of interesting and useful addresses, phone numbers, drives and activities, which you'll find in a red notebook in the kitchen. But the best thing to do is what we always do - explore, and make your own magic in the Kingdom of Kerry.

Second Visit, just as good!

5 of 5
Submitted: April 11, 2012 Stayed: March 2012
We visited Curlew Cottage in March for the second time in 6 months. We had such a good time the first time and felt there was still lots more to explore and the price is so reasonable we returned :)

Carol was extremely helpful from the outset, her directions are very well thought out and so helpful with photos of landmarks etc to help. There is ample information in the cottage about the area and you can tell that Carol and her family just adore this area and want you to love it as much as the do, they include pull out copys for you to bring to fab locations around the area, this is the first time we had this level of service! Carol was always available, friendly and helpful with any additional information we needed and the farmer next door is very friendly and helpful also!

We travel each year for a long weekend in Ireland and we always rent a house as we bring our dog so we have stayed in a good few houses around Ireland. Curlew Cottage had several benefits over other homes we rented 1. the safe walking distance to the amazing beach, it is about five houses up the road but unlike other areas we have stayed the road is very safe to walk on with pets or children. 2. Tralee Golf Club on the doorstep for a quick bite to eat or a drink, in other houses the roads are never safe to walk and the walk was longer, 3. Fully Enclosed Garden this can be hard to find, we have hired other houses with this description to learn this was a bit of a stretch but our dog was safe here 4. Pet Friendly did not mean uncomfortable and cold which we have found in the past.

The house is beautifully decorated, comfortable and warm as well well priced so we are hoping to try get away a third time to Curlew Cottage, there is just so much in the area to explore :) Some areas we have visited are Dingle, Inch Beach, Killarney National Park, Kenmare, and some of the more local towns and beaches around. I've fallen in love with Kerry!!!

Lovely home, all amenities you could wish for, Carols directions were spot on. Plenty of room for all the children, the "secret beach" was beautiful. This is an ideal place for anyone who is into golfing. The views are breathtaking and on a good night the sunsets were fabulous.

Submitted: July 6, 2012 Stayed: September 2011
We really had a great time in Ireland and enjoyed your cottage so much. It was one of the best holiday houses we ever had, and it was well equipped with all needs. Our daughter and we all regretted so much that we had to leave after our holiday week.
