Photos and Description of the Kinsale vacation house rental
House - 4 Bedrooms + 4 Baths -(Sleeps 9-10)

Welcome to Castlepark. Castlepark is uniquely positioned in Kinsale, the development itself has won many awards and was most recently referenced in Journal Of the Royal Institute of Architects of Ireland (May 2007).

Our house is unique in that it is the largest house, positioned in the middle of Castlepark, spread over 3 floors and comprises of a very large open plan Lounge / Dining Room, Kitchen, wide hallways and 4 large bedrooms with 4 matching bathrooms. It can accommodate large or extended families with sleeping for up to 9 people comfortably. Broadband available in house.

We have just completed a full ‘makeover’ of the house and we know you will enjoy your stay here – relaxation, peaceful yet in the middle of everything.

Our House, the ideal location: Our house is indeed a unique beachfront home, on a peninsula overlooking Kinsale itself, surrounded by heritage and the sea, with direct access to a very safe and sandy beach, secure parking and a large green area for kids to play. Relax !

The Open Plan Lounge is above all spacious and bright – the new velux windows allow in the morning light, the beams are painted cream in colour and rise 45 degrees to the double story height of the relaxing lounge and dining area. The new oak floor, exposed beams, cream paneling – the lanterns & leather couches – even the wall mounted plasma screen - they allow for a relaxing atmosphere.

The accompanying dining area comprises of a large pine table and 8 carved chairs – with views out the south facing full height window –allowing maximum light to flood the room.

Also on this floor there is a full bathroom and easy access to the fully equipped kitchen. The full size kitchen is well equipped with a Washer, Dryer, Dishwasher, Hob, Oven, Microwave, Fridge, Freezer & all general kitchen equipment. There is also a table and 4 chairs for extra visitors.

You now have choices, either the stairs up or the stairs down...both excellently finished. The Stairs Down, with inlaid teak paneling & new woolen carpets leads to the 2 lower bedrooms and 2 en suites. All of the downstairs rooms have hardwood maple flooring fully tiled bathrooms.

The first bedroom on the lower floor is a large double room, with pitch pine furniture, maple floor and a large three piece en suite.

All bed lined is the same design and blue in colour in keeping with the nautical theme throughout.

The second bedroom on the lower floor is extra large in size, with a large double bed and a single bed, again all antique pine furniture on a maple floor. Some of the old beams are again exposed in the two downstairs bedrooms and hallway.

Each of the two lower rooms are en suite with quality fittings. There is also a spare pullout bed as an extra stored under the stair case just in case there is a need for an extra visitor.

The second staircase rises upwards, lit be a new velux window and cushioned with new woolen carpets, and as with all the house freshly painted. Overhead you can see some of the old support beams some almost 2 feet thick ! Also on the upper floor is a large hot press for extra storage.

Both the upper floor bedrooms have the exposed beams, natural in color giving a nice contrast to the cream colors below. To the right is a nice twin bedroom, newly carpeted, with antique pine furniture, and additional old style glass-block windows to below.

The other upper floor bedroom is a good size double, again with exposed natural beams, pine furniture and a large velux window providing subtle brightness. Both these bedrooms share a separate bathroom with electric shower.

However relaxed or active you wish to be on your holiday -Kinsale offers you multiple choices (land or sea based) and allows you to take things at your own pace.

This home in Kinsale met all my expectations, and believe me they were high. Declan and his family are nothing but kind, helpful, and considerate. The home is beautifully maintained, roomy, and comfortable. We had a large group of adults and children and never felt cramped. The location is exceptional. Somedays we walked into Kinsale and enjoyed the town with all its shops, friendly people, and great restaurants. Other days we we took long walks on all the trails around this home or just enjoyed the beach and sites nearby. Kinsale is also a great stepping off point to tour around. We did a lot of touring and I can honestly say there was not one location I saw on my travels that I would have preferred to stay.
My family took this trip to celebrate my parents 50th anniversary and we could not have chosen a better spot.

We highly recommend Castlepark to anyone who wants a home away from home. It is very clean, casual, and lots of space to spread out if you have several couples, as we did. We enjoyed the kitchen for breakfast, the laundry facilities, and the large living room. The listing description and photos were all as advertised. Declan was very good about answering our questions, and getting a good deal for golf :-). All the restaurants were great, Jim Edwards is our recommendation, and Dalton's pub for traditional Irish music on Mondays and Tuesdays. Don't come late or you won't find any space!
We would definitely refer our friends to Castlepark. Only one small downside is there is no internet connection or telephone, so we needed to go into town to connect with the world. Upside of that, it is really cheap to buy a local phone, which we did. Thanks for a lovely stay Declan.

We stayed in Castlepark Kinsale the week of August 20th. There was nine of us which consists of 7 adults and 2 kids. The house was brilliant the layout of the house was exactly what we needed we were not living on top of each other because of the space. Having a beautiful beach that was just steps away from the doorstep was excellent, my kids just had so much fun there. I had a friend come and visit us with her 2 kids and her Mum they to did not want to leave they had so much fun. Also having the Dock bar to sit out on a sunny day was just lovely.There also was beautiful places to walk to like James Fort, it was so pretty.Kinsale also had such beautiful places to eat i highly recommend Maxs we went there 2 nights in a row. Overall it was a fantastic place to stay and we would diffently go back.

This home is in Kinsale, which is a lovely harbour town with lots to do for any genre. My family stayed in this home and we found it to be quite lovely. The owners are very accomodating and are very willing to give information on golf courses, restaurants, hiking, and other activities. The home is very modern and the layout is great for families. It is within walking distance to town and is situated within one minute of the beach. My husband golfed Old Head, which is nearby. If you golf I would definitely recommend considering making a tee time! We actually had a cook-out one night above the beach and it was great fun. I would highly recommend this home to anyone visiting Ireland! The listing information and photos are exactly as you will find the home. The home was clean, well maintained, and well equipped.

MARVELOUS PLACE! 20-MINUTE WALK INTO KINSALE AROUND BAY.......DELIGHTFUL. HOUSE LOOKS LIKE THE PHOTOS: VERY PLEASANT, ROOMY, AND ATTRACTIVE. WELL-MAINTAINED, GOOD CONVENIENCES; EVERYTHING WORKS. LOVE TO VISIT AGAIN AND WOULD STAY IN THE SAME PLACE. RELAXING! CHEERFUL AND INFORMATIVE OWNER WILLING TO RESPOND TO CONCERNS. GOOD DRIVING DIRECTIONS, EXCELLENT SECURITY. VIEWS ARE SPECTACULAR. WE DON'T SAIL OR FISH, BUT THERE WAS PLENTY TO DO AND SEE. LOVED IT. THE FOLKS AROUND KINSALE WERE KIND, FRIENDLY TO STRANGERS, AND VERY HELPFUL IN FINDING THINGS AND SUGGESTING PLACES TO SEE.

This house proved to be perfect for our family -- our 3 adults and 3 kids (17, 14, 12) fit comfortably in the house, which was well-lit, clean and well equipped. The family who own the house were very accommodating and available for our questions, and the whole Castlepark complex was quiet and friendly. Easy access to the beach was a great plus, and Kinsale itself is a great launching-off place for our visits to Beara Peninsula, Cork, Cove, pony trekking, and many other day-trips. We done many house rentals over the years, and we felt anxious having to arrange this one sight-unseen at great distance, but it could not have gone better and the house and location were perfect. Did I mention easy access to the Dock pub just outside the complex gates? We'd love to return someday -- in the meantime, we hope to send friends and relatives.

We were fortunate enough to stay at this lovely home for 1 week. Slept all 8 of us comfortably. The house was in good shape, well cared for and clean. We ate out a few nights - and cooked in a few - Very easy to prepare a meal for all 8 of us. Very convenient to the town. Easy walk in to town. Plenty of shopping - whatever we needed. Owner is very pleasant and on top of things. When we had a question or two we would email him and get a quick response. Short walk to a lovely beach and a local pub. One drawback was laundry. Comes with a washer/dryer combo. We were hoping to do our laundry at the house, but ended up taking it into town (they wash by the pound). Overall, could not have been happier. Highly recommend this home and Kinsale.

Amazing Vacation

This sun drenched home was perfect for our group of eight, which included two young children. The layout of two bedrooms on the lower level and two bedrooms upstairs provided privacy for all. Kinsale is the perfect combination of amazing views, friendly pubs, and gourmet restaurants. The home was a quick drive to town and the owners were MOST accommodating. They even sent their two beautiful daughter's to baby-sit for our children and found us working hair dryers in a pinch! There were so many wonderful restaurants to choose from and live music almost nightly. For the kids the Fota Wildlife Park in Cork is an absolute must! We would recommend this home and Kinsale to anyone traveling to Ireland.
