About this house rental
Stunning seafront, newly renovated, four bedroom detached holiday home, located on the Causeway Coast Road (beachside)
Set within 2 acres, perfect for a family game of rounders, kicking a football around or just exercising the family dog. From the garden, there is open access to a pebble beach so children and pets should be supervised at all times.
This is the perfect location for exploring the Causeway Coast, a beautiful scenic drive all the way round to the giants causeway with many tourist attractions including several Game of Thrones filming locations.
Overlooking the Irish Sea, the property benefits from breathtaking views across to Scotland (16 miles away) and on a clear day the extinct volcano Ailsa Craig some 32 miles away. Wildlife, including: numerous bird species, seals, pods of dolphins/porpoise can often be seen right in front of the property from the comfort of your armchair. There have also been sightings of basking shark and nearby spottings of Orca - killer whales. You’ll be hard pressed to drag yourself away from the lounge picture window.
With off street, secure parking for several cars, the house is perfect for families or a group of friends and is pet friendly too.

My wife, two young children, parents and adult sister stayed at this gorgeous property right on the coast. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and more. Waking up with the sea right outside your window was special, especially with the unbelievable coastal views in the distance. The property was perfectly placed to explore the stunning Antrim Coast as well as Belfast. I could not recommend this property more, and I only wish our last two days had not be constant rain..although not a terrible reason to relax at home at this property.

I loved the place.we all did.One of the many best things was a toilet close by hot tub.lol a plus.
Amazing sunrise & sunsets.starry night.seal & 50+ dolphins 🐬 .We were lucky to have it all.

The Viking hut barbeque brilliant.
But just sitting outside loved every minute

I hope to come back for sure .

This property is a real gem - fabulous location for exploring the Antrim coast and glens, this house is spacious, peaceful and comfortable. Extra touches like soft towels, toiletries and basic kitchen supplies made our stay easy and we even managed to watch Dolphins off the coast while making breakfast one day. The house is actually nicer than the photos on the listing and suits all age groups, so even in bad weather there is still something to do. We had a great stay and will definitely return.

This was without doubt the nicest property any of us have ever stayed in! It has everything you would need, including hot tub, bbq hut, games room and a huge outdoor garden space. The online guide to the property was so helpful and the host Daniel was always quick to respond and very helpful if we needed anything. Would 100% recommend and we will definitely be back in the future!

Super place to meet up and share experiences - old and new. We did not have our dog but the doggie touches were great.

A great place, spacious rooms, great internal facilities. Games room was a welcome distraction and was well used. Hot tub fabulous even though the outside temperature was 2 degrees (a new trend of wearing woolly hats was made) and listening to the fresh sea breeze and waves was very therapeutic. No shops near the house but plenty of kitchen and fridge space for food and refreshments. Would definitely recommend the house and would love to return for a further visit.

Absolutely fabulous property. We've stayed before and we'd stay again! The views across the sea were a delight and the BBQ hut is always such fun! Thank you!
5.0
We absolutely loved our stay on the Antrim Coast. This was our first trip to Northern Ireland and definitely not our last. We would love to come back to the same house.
The property is stunning and is very spacious. A quick drive to Carnlough or Larne gets you to groceries, gas, and some of the best pub food in the area.
A couple of things to keep in mind: While there are bath towels for each person, there are no towels for the hot tub. Plan to bring your own, or use the same towel for both.
There are no kitchen rags for cleaning the counter tops. Also, we ran out of toilet paper after about 3 days and also didn't have extra trash bags. We had to pick up both, but was no big deal.
We found two glasses in the cabinet that had cracks. It's always good to look that stuff over no matter where you stay.
These things are very minimal and did not impact our ability to enjoy the house at all. We didn't use the Nordic hut but are hoping to return someday and give it a shot.
I can't think of a more perfect place to enjoy our first trip to such a beautiful island.

Beautiful property. Loved every second of our trip.

This was the nicest rental we have ever stayed at. The property is beautiful and has everything you could need. The view was breathtaking and it was fairly close to many tourist attractions. Very peaceful and serene. If you want a place to relax, this is it! Took us a bit to adjust to the winding roads, but it was all part of our UK adventure. We would not hesitate to rent this property again. Many thanks for a great family vacation!

This house was beautiful and the view and the sea was wonderful. It was great having coffe overlooking the Irish sea watching the everpresent variety of seabirds. On the last day to say goodbye a pod of dolphins and a whale swam by out front. Was a spectacular area and house. Will be back when in Ireland again.

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. Everything was top notch and well laid out. The owners have thought of everything. We enjoyed grilling in the Nordic hut and spending time as a family in the game room. The views from every room in the house are amazing. The location was also great for exploring local attractions. We would love to return if we are back in the area.

What a fantastic place to have a break, the location is perfect and the views are spectacular. Everything in the house is great and there is nothing you need. Having the spa outside on the veranda is just great for those evening relaxing times.

There was three of us couples travelling Ireland, and staying here was on the middle of our trip itinerary. Right from the beginning communication was impressive, pre arrival information was sent to us, everything was so detailed and explained so well. From the moment we stepped in the door we felt completely welcomed. So many small touches made our stay so comfortable and relaxing. The sunrises every morning were picture perfect. We actually stopped sightseeing the one day mid-afternoon because all of us just wanted to spend time at the house!! Dan was so helpful with any questions we had. We really truly are so fortunate to have found this place to stay and it definitely made our visit to Ireland so much more memorable.
Thank you and I really do hope to return one day!

I’m just back home after a 4 night stay at Portree with my elderly parents. We had a room each which is outrageous I know, as this property can cater for up to 8 people. The property is even better then the photos and the photos are superb. Loved every minute of our stay. Amazing views, the property is so so close to the sea. Blissful.

Daniel was easy to reach and incredibly helpful.
I did not want to check out and come home!
Gorgeous water views in the back and green glens in the front. The house had everything we needed!! Will definitely return.
Thank you. Daniel.

The Portree property in Glenarm was all we had hoped it to be for our first overseas Christmas as a family and friends of 7. The facilities are impeccable. We stayed 7 nights and the property had everything we needed including an extensively equiped kitchen. Daniel was very responsive to queries and added a personal touch of having a Christmas tree setup on our arrival. A memory our family will carry for many years to come.

What a fantastic property on a stunning coastline with views over the sea. What you see on the website is exactly what you get. The games room was perfect for evening entertainment and the hut was a fabulous BBQ experience. We've loved every moment of our stay with visits to the Giants Causeway, Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge, Game of Thrones experience, the Titanic museum and a round of golf. Great location with some fantastic places to eat and shop within the local area. We have already booked to return next year.

An amazing house with outstanding sea views - an idyllic location. Everything about this holiday was of high specification - thank you so much to the host Daniel Taylor.
5.0
The home was beautifully located right on the coast. The sunrises were stunning and the living room provided a perfect sea view.
The Nordic Hut could use some bug spray to keep the bugs inside and out of the hut free.
The beds were comfy, the heated floors were a major plus! The game room was very fun for my family. The TV needed to be in a different location or the pool lights needed to be moved. You could only watch the tv by sitting in bar tools. We were not able to use the hot tub, due to a tripped breaker and the amount of time it took to heat. Some of the lights also went out one afternoon Luckily my family knew how to handle breaker boxes. The tv in the master bedroom never worked. We are not familiar with sky box so we are not able to correct the issue and when communicated with Daniel, an option for someone to come fix it was not offered. The house is well stocked and ready for an amazing trip. We enjoyed our stay overall and will plan to hopefully stay again in the future. Ps the kids loved playing with the stuffed animals. You can beat the views from this house!
5.0
This place was so amazing that we canceled other plans just to have more time enjoying all this property has to offer. I could sit in those comfy chairs and stare out the window at the sea all day, or perhaps lounge in the hot tub with the cool ocean breeze on my face....or challenge friends in a game of pool or darts. Seriously everything we could of wanted we found in this property.

Really quick responsive property manager. Details and info provided well in advance. House had everything we needed or could have needed to a very high standard. Location on the beach was amazing and great for wildlife watching and kids and dogs! Perfect and would highly recommend!

Best Golf Tour Yet
6 old school friends stayed here for our annual golf tour. This place did not disappoint. From the games room, to the hot tub, to all the brilliant local courses, this property was perfect.
Dan was responsive with any questions we had and the property itself was immaculate. We would definitely look to come back here in the future. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Northern Ireland.
