We have stayed in many vacation rentals over the years and I can easily say that this one has been the best. The Stone House prives that a rental can be even better than the pictures show. When we first saw this on VRBO, the whole family agreed that it was the ine for us and it did not disappoint. Communication, check in, the stay, and checkout were all a breeze. The house itself and its surroundings simply exemplify the magic of Ireland's western coast. If you are even considering staying at the Stone House, don't let it get away. Our stay was simply perfect!

This house checked all of the boxes. Location, cleanliness, amenities, and especially the feeling of home. My son and I were on holiday and wanted to explore the Burren. We were exceptionally pleased with this rental. I highly recommend this beautiful home.

Fabulous house in a spectacular location. The views from the house are breath-taking. The house itself is very well equipped and lacks for nothing.

Really cannot fault this beautiful property. Perfect in every way. We will certainly be back

Perfect for the spectacular oceanfront location. Perfect for architecture, decoration and equipment. Perfect for the friendly and helpful but discreet welcome. The Stone House is the most beautiful house we have stayed in during our many holidays in Ireland. Living in it makes your stay unforgettable: for the view of the ocean from the terrace but also the views from each of the many windows; for architecture with spacious rooms for shared moments and welcoming for private moments; for the magnificent taste in furnishings and decoration, in which everything is chosen and combined with the highest care. Every material speaks of Ireland, every color recalls the shades of the Clare lights, every painting tells a small Irish story. Thank you Deirdre and Joan for sharing your beautiful home. For us it was the place of a halfway meeting between Italy and the United States that we had been waiting for for years. Thank you for the evenings in front of the wonderful fireplace. A round of applause for the absence of television.

Fantastic house in a magical setting close to the water. Panoramic 180 views of the sea which you really don't see in the pictures. Quiet, comfortable - the underfloor heating was so effective in late October. Easy access to neighboring towns and sights. Surprised to find no TV - they really should let you know that. But finally it was grand not to have a one. Card games in front of the fire were the antidote. Can't wait to go back. Thank you to the LIghtfoots!!

The view is stunning, the house beautifully decorated, and has every amenity. The great room is such a wonderful space to hang out in. I can't imagine anything improving these houses. Plenty of hot water, working fireplaces, kitchen well equipped. And the area is fantastic as well. Loved listening to music at pubs in Doolin. Great guide for walk on Burren (Tony Kirby). We were in heaven! Thank you!

Great location and ver relaxing

This was our second stay at the Stone House and it was just as wonderful as the first time. We were greeted at the house by Anna and she is simply delightful! Our group enjoys cooking and the kitchen and the big long table are amazing. The view from the deck is breathtaking and we enjoyed several lovely sunsets. The photos of the house don’t really do it justice. This is a place that needs to be experienced. The Lightfoot family (who we had the pleasure of meeting on this trip) having lovingly created a truly magical destination. We’re so grateful for our time in Fanore or look forward to the next visit. Thank you friends!

The views from the balcony are breathtaking. This house is the perfect place to escape from city life. The only drawback of the location is the lack of places to eat close by. There is one pub, but the menu is limited to burgers right now, and the pub simply did not open on the Wednesday night of our stay. The house is beautiful and spacious - if you are looking for a quiet, peaceful place to enjoy quiet solitude…this is it. Enjoy!

Incredible views and sunsets from the house. In our travels through Ireland, these were the most comfortable beds we slept in. Check in and out was a breeze. The owners were very responsive and provided a lot of information. Beautiful home.

The Stone House is beautiful and peaceful as well as comfortable. Anna was a gracious and helpful manager. We enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful house. Great location. Perfect place to unwind. That says it all

Beautiful house with wonderful antiques and art works! Fabulous views of the ocean. Convenient to many historic sites and quaint villages. Anna, property manager, was extremely helpful and friendly. One of our favorite houses on our trip....a true treasure!

the home is very beautiful and the photos do not do it justice. the location is private yet close to all to sights in County Clare. we loved our stay and we were all sad to leave.

This home is exactly what comes to mind when you say Irish Getaway- the home, the setting, the feel. The Stone House is comfortable, cozy, clean and well stocked. We enjoyed sitting on the porch, listening to the waves, watching the dolphins in the water and the cows in the pasture. The bed was super comfortable and the water pressure was AWESOME! The only draw back is that you never want to leave! Thank you for a great experience!

What a lovely place and location. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Only complaint is no shower amenities, so bring your own soap and shampoo. Otherwise the place is terrific! The Wild Atlantic did not disappoint! Huge waves, wind and white caps, terrific views. Loved the Stone House. .

Its was nice

Gorgeous home with beautiful views. Quiet area, but such a special place. The caretaker was so friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful stay!

We visited this past January and were delighted, once again, with the home and surrounds. Check-in was a breeze with Anna (she could not be more helpful) and we quickly settled in for our week's stay. Yeah, far fewer coaches and tourists in winter! Walks from the house to the nearby beach (past the ponies) and then back again to have a lovely meal in the well supplied kitchen. Then, after watching the sunset we always ended the evening by the lovely fireside. Go to the pub, you can walk there. We had a lovely evening with some local folks and Pat. Shop at SuperValu in Ennistymon. Shop at Mick and Mary's (very kind people) across from O'Donohughe's. Take the walk from Doolin to the Cliffs of Moher if you are fit. Eat at Anthony's and the Ballinalacken castle if going in Summer. Whatever your fancy, know that this two-bedroom home will be a delight.

The house is comfortable, well designed and has a beautiful view out onto the ocean. The location is perfect, you are a 15 minute walk from the beautiful Fanore beach and a 20 minute drive into Doolin town with it's brilliant pubs and music. We spent a lot of our time by the fire, cooking and drinking wine, it was perfect for a New Year getaway.

Great place … everything worked perfect.

The Stone House was a wonderful place for us to spend our Christmas away from home. We'd been visiting Ireland and staying in places with slightly closer quarters, so it was nice to spread out a little and have some privacy, yet at the same time, the communal living room/kitchen/dining area gave us some wonderful family memories. The Burren landscape was phenomenal! We walked the winter beaches everyday and my husband Brian did a bit more exploring rambling up the hill behind the village. The kids (17, 19, and 20 ) and I did a Christmas Day plunge at Fanore Beach. We met some locals that were very fond of the Lightfoot Family. Pat at O'Donahue's was lovely, and we met one of the twins and had a nice chat with him on Christmas Eve. at the pub. Coming from the Pacific Northwest prepped us for the weather, but it did not prep us for the ever changing light. We were constantly taking in the shifts in color over the Atlantic and the surrounding hills. This has been something we've noticed everywhere we've gone in Ireland, but it was particularly striking at Fanore. We are fans of your home and your village- we could only wish to have spent a longer stretch! Maybe next time!!! Aristy, Brian, Mead, Marina-Rae and Isabelle

What a treat! This property is stunning. The photos don’t do it justice. A beautiful, comfortable house in an amazing setting. We did not want to drag ourselves away. Highly recommend!

This house and the quaint little town were both incredible. We did not want to leave! And the bed….soooooo comfortable. We are so thankful to the hosts for sharing their amazing home- The Stone House. So tastefully decorated and the views were to die for. A special thanks to Anne for welcoming us and checking in with us during our stay. We cannot wait to go back! Highly recommended! You will not be disappointed!

We had a wonderful stay. The property was beautiful with amazing views. Plenty of room and so cozy feeling. Thank you for letting us use your space!

A wonderful stay. Hope to be back. You can never rely on the sun in Ireland but being that close to the sea allows you to enjoy the elements and the setting, come rain or shine. Lovely pints of stout in ODonohues for the grown ups and nooks, crannies and hiding spots for the kids to explore in the garden.

We have travelled all over the world and have stayed in many places. The Stone House is by far the best. Beautiful home and craftsmanship. Unbelievable views. You must book.

Photos somewhat undersell the property

House was excellent and suited our family of 6 well.

Great ocean views, great restaurants and places to visit in the area. We would revisit and recommend the Stone House.

Fanore is a wonderful place to enjoy the quiet Burren coast, and we visit this part of Ireland often. This is a great house which offers a stunning view and sounds of the ocean from the great room. A mature garden screens its glass-doored primary bedroom. Well-equipped kitchen. Neighbor Anna greeted us and checked in to ensure we enjoyed our stay. We are planning our return visit.
