Our best Home Away rental experience

Larry L. Michigan, USA
Review Submitted: June 16, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We just got back from 4-nights at the Fuschia cottage and couldn't be happier with our stay. I have rented several residences in the USA and Ireland through the Home Away site. Much like reserving a hotel room online it can be a hit and miss experience. The Fuschia cottage has been the best of these. We found Des to be a very gracious host.

Probably most importantly (especially with a wife and two daughters) it was clean and everything worked as it should. It was very convenient to have two bathrooms and a full kitchen. Having a laundry room with washer & dryer was a major benefit as well. As the first reviewer mentioned, the cottage has an additional living area with TV upstairs as well as the master bedroom & bath. This is great as the kids can have their own space if they like.

We found the location to be perfect for us. The beach in Ballinskelligs is fantastic and even has a castle ruin for the kids to explore. It is a tiny town but does have a nice pub & cafe. There is a gas station locally with groceries. Additional shops and a proper grocery store are a 20-min. drive away in Waterville.

The boat trip to the Skellig islands was the highlight of our Ireland trip. There is a single boat that leaves daily from the Ballinskelligs pier. One thing that I hadn't seen mentioned elsewhere was that this is the only enclosed Skellig boat. The multiple boats from Portmagee & Waterville are all open (with passengers getting soaked with cold surf for an hour each way).

From the cottage we also were able to devote a day each to the Ring of Kerry, Skellig ring, and Dingle peninsula. After our stay at the cottage we spent 3-days in County Clare. Looking back on it I wish we would have spent more time in Ballinskelligs. We will definitely be staying in the Fuschia cottage again should be return to Ireland. It is exceptional and also a great value.

A happy week in Ballingskellig

jayne1203 Pembrokeshire
Review Submitted: May 8, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2008
We are a family of four, (the boys were 10 and 12yrs old ), and came with another couple to stay at this lovely house.
The weather was great, the countryside was awesome and the locals very friendly. We loved the laid back approach.

The house was clean, tidy and suited our needs. With 2 sitting rooms, the two boys played happily without disturbing us oldies. They took their own playstation so were content if the weather took a turn for the worse..which happily it didn't. The beach, only 5 minute walk away was were we would all go at the end of our day. A huge, clean beach with a lovely ruin. The sea was pretty cold, but with wet suits and an inflatable raft we had a ball!!
The kitchen had all what we needed to prepare meals for us all, and it was great to be able to wash your clothes in a clean laundry room.
Lots of books available, maps and information. Beds very comfortable and very pleasant decor. The balconys were great to look out from in the evening. Both showers and the bath were also of good quality. Lots of wardrobe space.
The garden has a BBQ and an outside bench table, and also an outside shower to rinse off all the sand.(Very useful!!) French windows from both lounge and kitchen lead onto the patio area. Plenty of parking and we took all our push bikes and they were safe left at the back of the house.
We took lots of fantastic photographs, and had such a brilliant time that we are returning to the owners other cottage this May 2009.

Far away from all - We like it!!!

Eastern Rising Weinheim
Review Submitted: August 18, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
In May 2008 we spent our first holidays in Fuchsia. Everything was great. The house, our host, the village, the countryside and even the weather. So we decided to come back in June 2009. It was a good decision.
We did some walks e.c to Bolus head, where you can overlook the peninsula,
strolled along nice beaches and visited historical sites and villages. In Cahirsiveen we bought delicious food (fresh fish and lamb).
We enjoyed our holidays again and we can really recommend Fuchsia and Ballinskelligs
