Amazing Blasket Island and Coumeenole Beach Views. Luxury House Slea Head Drive

Newly refurbished 2,500 sq ft, 5 bed house (sleeps 10) located on the Wild Atlantic Way. The house overlooks Dingle Bay, the Blasket islands and Coumeenole beach. It is the westernmost spot in Europe. The surrounding views are absolutely stunning. In May 2016, it became a filming location for the new Star Wars movie, due to the spectacular cliffs at Dunmore head, which can clearly be seen from the house.

The Ring of Kerry, Killarney, Tralee, Kenmare are all within easy reach of here. It can also be used as a base for the cliffs of Moher and Cork.

It's a newly renovated house with some of the best views in Ireland, and arguably the best view on the whole Peninsula. You will not be disappointed. The house is finished to a high standard and has a large patio with outdoor furniture...perfect for watching the sunset over the Blasket Islands and the beach down below.

Watch the sea birds dive in the bay. Take a ferry to the Island....Or just sit by the fire and watch the waves crash on the cliffs below.

Perfect for long walks along the cliffs or a short stroll on the beach. Great for surfing, walking holidays, beach holidays and family get-togethers. Enjoy boat trips to The Blasket Islands, a trip to see funghi, he famous Dingle dolphin ,sea kayaking in Dingle Harbour or a sheepdog demonstration.

The entire house is yours.

Large utility room can be used to store your bikes. The house sits on a site above coumeenole bay and is a short stroll from Slea Head.

The Blasket Islands are perfectly framed by large picture windows to the front of the house.

The house is on the Wild Atlantic Way - it's a 10 minute drive to Ballyferriter and a 20 minute drive to Dingle - voted Ireland's Top Foodie Town (2014). Why not visit one of the other Villages, such as Ballydavid, Ventry or Castlegregory. All are within easy reach.

Killarney is 1hr 20min away, Kenmare is 2Hrs.

The local links course is 10 minutes from the house (Ceann Sibeal).

There are c. 2000 archaeological sites on the peninsula.

It's as far west as you can go.... Car is essential. Bike great for exploring local area. Local taxi service also available which can cater for large groups. We can also help you arrange private group tours with pick up from the airport, or from the house.

Amazing view
Our family loved our stay in this beautiful home. We were a family of five and had plenty of room. The kitchen was well appointed. The host said there was a Nespresso machine so we bought capsules but there was also a regular coffee maker and French press so we got regular coffee the next day. Being from the states I like a pot of coffee in the morning. The view of Dunmore Head and Great Blasket Island was out of this world. Sunsets were glorious. The Blasket Island Museum nearby was very enjoyable. Kruger’s Bar down the road was worth a visit or three. I highly recommend this home. Dingle is a 20 minute drive and is so much fun. If you want a peaceful stay with incredible views book this property.

Amazing Hosts and Excellent Stay
Our family of 3 absolutely enjoyed our stay. The house was perfectly appointed with very comfortable beds and a separate room with washer and dryer and an extra refrigerator if needed. Plenty of room for a large family/group. Scenery was beautiful from every window. We loved the location (private/quiet) with no distractions. Cell service in the area is spotty but wifi at the house works perfectly. We enjoyed the area including drinks at Kruger's Pub just a short drive from the house (they serve food but we were not aware and drove into town unfortunately). We enjoyed the Coumeenoole Beach and "Hold a baby lamb" which are both very nearby. Wish we could have stayed much longer. I must say as nice as the house was, the hosts were even more impressive. Lisa shared a full list of ideas for us to maximize our drives to/from the house. We were anble to enjoy a night in Kinsale then drive trhough beautiful countryside on our way there, then took a route to Kilkee Cliffs and and beautiful scenery for our drive to Galway. Those were not in our initial plans but are some of our best memories of our trip, so Thank You Lisa and Tomas for sharing such great information above and beyond. You will enjoy staying at this house in Coumeenoole...my best advise is to stay as many days as you can so you can have time to enjoy the area AND have time to relax and enjoy the house as well. The views alone will make you want to stay longer, but lots to see and do nearby.

Home base for the Dingle Peninsula
Lisa and Tomas were extremely communicative and responsive to our questions. The bathrooms were beautiful and spotlessly clean, and the beds were very comfortable. We loved the Nespresso machine - just be sure to pick up pods. The location is perfect for views and enjoying the gorgeous Dingle Peninsula, but you do need a car or driver. Billy Kavanagh drove us around for three days and was fantastic!

Gorgeous views!
The house was lovely. Very nice having a washer and dryer as we booked this spot mid way through an 11 day Irish adventure. House was well equipped for a large family. It was a little bit difficult to find in the dark, but the GPS worked as it should, and even after driving through pitch black with dense fog, we managed to find the house late at night on arrival. The particularly spectacular part about this house is the view! While we loved all of our adventures in Ireland, our visit to the Dingle Peninsula was the absolute favorite for all members of our family. The beaches, the cliffs, the gorgeous scenery… it’s just magical!

Stunning Site on Slea Head Drive
This is a lovely property located, literally, in the middle of one of the most scenic areas of Ireland - Slea Head Drive. A comfortable house with all the amenities normally expected, the breathtaking views of Great Blasket Island, Dunmore Head, and Coumeenoole Beach are what make this an exceptional rental. The O’Sheas were very helpful and accommodating throughout our stay in walking us through all the ins and outs of the house. This was an excellent base for exploring the Dingle peninsula as well as Dingle town. The half hour drive from Dingle to the house can be challenging at first, especially for Americans like us, so take seriously the recommendation to get several days of groceries, drinks, and firewood before going out to the house. Garvey’s SuperValu in town was a fine place for one stop shopping, with lots of fresh and prepared food offerings as well as an adequate wine, beer and liquor selection.

The most magnificent place on earth!
I had never been to Ireland and like most people I admire the beautiful photo's that are professionally done and make the location look great. I can honestly say they do not do it justice. I spent a week at the O'Shea house with my wife, daughter, sister in-law and her two boys. It was simply the best vacation we have ever had. If you are looking for the bustle and excitement of the city then this is not your cup of tea. But if you like sitting out on the deck overlooking the islands and ocean, listening to the waves, sheep and watching the seagulls soar across the landscape, then this place is for you. While we did not get to meet our hosts, the house was immaculate and everything we needed was easily available. The house is in a secluded area but take advantage of Rory and Dingle Slea Head Tours. They will treat you like family. If your not sure, book it now! You won't regret it.

It was amazing!
The house was charming and spacious and the views were stunning! Lisa even let me borrow her wellies to go for a jaunt by the water, something that was too heavy to pack before. Their kitchen, particularly, is amazing and very well appointed! Also, rams and seagulls out front. We would be happy to return here!

Absolutely perfect place to stay!
Lisa's home is absolutely lovely and has stunning views! The home is spacious, beautiful, and perfectly equipped with everything we could have wanted. Lisa left excellent directions for everything in the home and gave us wonderful recommendations for places to eat, shop, and drive in the Dingle area. Lisa was gracious, helpful, and easy to communicate with! Our son and daughter and their spouses, as well as our two grandsons absolutely loved our stay and we all want to return. This is the best VRBO experience we have had! I can't recommend this home highly enough and can't say enough about the beauty of the Dingle peninsula!

Beautiful, comfortable home with amazing views of Dingle Harbor.
Even though the weather during our stay prevented us from venturing out to enjoy the area, the house was beautifully furnished, very comfortable and the views of Dingle Bay from the house were so breathtakingly beautiful --- we were mesmerized watching the ocean. If we had to be house bound this was the perfect house--- we never grew tired of the views. The home has everything needed to make you feel at home. We truly felt very 'at home' and would return to rent again. I cannot think of a more comfortable place to stay while enjoying the Dingle area. It did not disappoint us and probably exceeded our expectations.

We were delighted with our accommodations and more so with the stunning setting of this home on Slea Head Drive on the Dingle Peninsula. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay and were blessed with great weather, and fabulous sunsets. Sheep on the lawn. We stayed in and cooked fabulous meals. Everything we needed was available at the Super Save in Dingle. Our hosts were very responsive and answered all of our questions promptly.

Amazing views!
We reserved this property for our family of 10 including adult children and 3 grandchildren. It was wonderful! The views are simply amazing and the photos cannot capture the incredible views from most rooms of the house. The kitchen is modern and well equipped. Recommend bringing food and supplies since the drive back to Dingle is 25-30 minutes. Be sure to check out the beach at Coumeenole - awesome and walk to the top of the hill for views of the other side - definitely a highlight and bonus view! We didn't have time to visit Blasket Island but would recommend at least visiting Dunqiin Pier for more amazing photos. Loved Dingle - only regret was we needed more time to spend here. Lisa and Tomas were readily available for guidance and any issues. Renting long distance and prepaying can be a bit unsettling but everything was just as presented and we highly recommend adding this to your "must do" list! Be sure to stop in Teac Couminole Cafe for warm apple pie and fresh cream. The owner Aileen is an artist and captures the local views beautifully!
