About this house rental
Fabulous 4 bed 4 bathroom home with stunning views of Lough Currane and the mountains less than a mile outside Waterville ,a small village on the Atlanic Ocean .
The cottage ,which is 2,400 sq ft , was constructed 12 years ago to a traditional style but to best building practices .The cottage was designed by a local architect to be in harmony with the surrounding countryside and its environment .It has a natural slate roof and uses both local stone and rough plaster finish to the external walls .
It has three double bedrooms downstairs ,all en-suite .The master bedroom has an en -suite with a Jacuzzi and a large walk in shower with body jets . The living area is open plan with the kitchen off it and also a sun-room .There is also a utility area and a separate WC .Upstairs there is a further double bedroom and a living room .There is also shower room on this floor . The ground floor is tiled with slate to living areas , ceramic tiles to bedrooms and marble to master en -suite .Upstairs has French Oak Flooring and all the joinery in the cottage is French Oak .The cottage is heated by a Geo Thermal system with under floor heating to ground floor and radiators upstairs . There is a large open turf fire and there is turf in the shed that you are welcome to use .We have three flat screen TV`s ,DVD ,iPod decks , Sound system and Wi-Fi .We have a library of about 200 DVDs for you to watch and a library of approx. 300 books for you to enjoy and games to play just in case you might get a rainy day !!
The gourmet kitchen is fully equipped with everything that you could possibly need to make great meals and there is an Australian Gas Barbecue if you fancy having a meal on our patio or the deck area. There is also patio furniture to sit on and enjoy a glass of wine while taking in the views all around you .
All linen is provided including towels and beach towels .There are wetsuits , buckets , spades and bodyboards that you can use and thermos flasks and picnic baskets are also in the cottage . We have bicycles in the shed and also helmets and Hi Vis jackets
This is a home that we build for our own use and we would like to think that our guests will come and stay in our home and enjoy Waterville as much as we have over the years

This is the second time we have stayed as it is a delightful home with gorgeous views and easy access to walk to Waterville and the Kerry Way. This home is in such a peaceful and tranquil location, it provided us with a wonderfully restorative holiday. The owner is very welcoming and responsive. We look forward to returning again to this lovely home!

Wonderful house that was ideal for us and the dogs. It was ideally located as well to reach the places we wanted to visit such as Derrynane, Kells Bay and Valentia. Would highly recommend this as a place to stay in Waterville

Great property, with amazing views - we were blessed with fantastic weather which meant we were able to be outside most of the time at the beaches - mostly Derrynane and Roonroe, but we would have been happy to spend more time in the house had the weather forced us inside!

The pictures on the website do not do this house justice. Beautiful house with loads of room. Lovely quiet part of Waterville will a lovely beach for walking nearby. In addition while we did not meet Ted and Pauline they answered every query we had. Thank you.

Lovely location and house.

Great hosts with excellent communication before and on arrival day. The house was modern, spacious and well equipped (especially the kitchen, garden & BBQ)-by far the best we’ve rented in the last 10years in South Kerry. Wonderful views and an easy15min walk to Waterville’s shops, pubs & restaurants. Thank you!

Lovely property surrounded by stunning views. Really enjoyed our stay, plenty to do in the area & weather didn't bother us at all as we had waterproofs handy. After lots of exploring, house was comfy & great place to relax & chill.

House was beautiful with stunning views, however the house was not clean, there were cobwebs everywhere, it was dusty and it smelled stale. Some of the dishes had hard food stuck on them. It was like a house had been left vacant for about a year and did not get a full clean.

This was our 2nd year staying at Ted & Pauline’s fabulous holiday home. The house is in a fantastic location & is a home from home. It’s so well equipped with everything. We had a super family holiday & were blessed with fabulous sunshine. We’ll be back!

We really enjoyed our stay in this gorgeous house in Waterville. We are a family of 6 (4 adult children) and there was so much space for us all.....and our 2 dogs! The house was clean and warm when we arrived and every room is so well furnished and equipped with everything needed for a very comfortable stay. We found the owners Pauline and Ted very easy to deal with and very helpful. Their home is in a great location and we can't recommend it highly enough.

From start to finish the holiday was brilliant. The property itself is amazing and the location superb. We didn’t want for anything from start to finish and before we arrived we had a minor hiccup with numbers but Ted was very understanding about the situation. Everything you could want in terms of equipment and household appliances are there and we didn’t want for anything throughout our stay. All in all I would give this property 5/5 stars. Thanks Ted, Pauline and Mary!!

A wonderful family holiday, property plenty large enough for 5 Adluts without even using the upstairs.
Everything we needed was in the house. A lovely open fire with plenty of peat and wood available for us to use.
An easy 20 min walk into the town where there were restaurants, bars and a good supermarket.
The local area was beautiful with plenty of walks and nice beaches.

We stayed in this property with 7 adults and a dog.
The house is amazing and so very well stocked.
Each bedroom has a bathroom and there is an extra toilet near the lounge.
The garden is great and the town is just 1km away.
Worth noting that Ireland have only just changed their law on dogs being allowed in pubs etc where food is being served and we found it quite difficult to start with in Waterville itself. We did use a little persuasion and managed to get her in to a couple of places!
Waterville is very well set up and has both a Mace and Centra (supermarkets) so you can definitely eat in.
Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would highly recommend this property!

I have rented a number of vacation houses in Ireland and elsewhere and this was by far the best experience I have ever had. A friend of mine and I spent a week in Waterville on a golfing holiday this past May. The house was impressive from the moment we walked in and became even more so as we explored its large, airy and sun-filled rooms. While it is a relatively new and spacious house, its design is reminiscent of older Irish homes with beautiful plaster walls. Yet it has every possible modern convenience in perfect working order and is, far and away, the best equipped rental property in my experience, particularly in the kitchen where there was nothing we needed that we couldn't find. In addition to being immaculate throughout, all the furniture was comfortable, particularly the beds. But the piece de resistance is the master bathroom - a huge room with a jacuzzi and the finest shower I've ever experienced.Owner Pauline Courtney responds to emails almost immediately and is incredibly helpful and accommodating. While we've never met, I feel like we have and she makes every effort to make you feel at home in her home. I've no doubt I will rent this wonderful house again very soon!
