A real home away from home

We spent a week at this home and it was lovely. The house was comfortable and well-stocked, including muffins and more-than-basic pantry stock like milk and butter. Pauline was even kind enough to leave a few new toys for our boys, which they very much enjoyed! The view of Macgillycuddy Reeks from the development is fantastic and the proximity both to town and the national park makes the location ideal. We would definitely stay at this property again.

Pauline's property was very clean and comfortable for our group of 4 adults. It has a superb position, just over the road from the beautiful National park and Muckross House. We did not meet Pauline due to our timings, but she was in regular and friendly contact, and left a lovely starter pack of food for us. Would be happy to return.

Great Location and Owner

Stayed 3 nights in June with family of 5 (3 kids, 2 adults). More than enough room for everyone. All the conveniences of home including fresh fruit, cupcakes, cereal, and milk provided completely unexpected. Pauline met us at the property at check-in to personally welcome us and followed up to ensure all our needs were met. Home was nicely furnished and in great condition. No problems in booking, payment, logistics, or check-out. Would absolutely stay again.

We had a wonderful stay at Santa Magdalena with our two young children. The location is perfect - incredibly private but right on the edge of Mahon and walkable into the center of town. There are beautiful beaches less than a 15 minute drive away and lots of shops etc within a few minutes’ drive. The well maintained pool provided endless hours of fun for our family. Francisco is lovely and very responsive, replying to queries straight away and even heading out to buy a replacement coffee machine the same morning we mentioned the one in the villa was broken. Worth mentioning for anyone travelling with a family that the villa is light on accessories - no books, games, toys or pool equipment - so best to pack plenty of your own or plan to buy some at the Aldi nearby. We had a constant battle with ants in the kitchen. I’m told that’s true of a lot of homes in Menorca this time of year, especially those that are older and more rural, but a bit of sealing around the kitchen window might help. That said, it didn’t affect our enjoyment of the house and our holiday. We will definitely be back for another stay!

Nice place and best location!

From start to finish, our stay here was comfortable, convenient, and FUN! Communication with Pauline was timely and courteous and check-in was a breeze. We were greeted with a welcome basket filled with goodies to get us started and the kitchen was suitably stocked with dishes, cookware, utensils paper towels, detergents, trash bags, etc. The dishwasher and washer/dryer worked perfectily. The beds are comfortable with good linens and the bathrooms showers have good pressure and plenty of hot water. Wifi was strong and reliable. We can't speak to the TV because we didn't watch it, but I imagine it works as well as everything else in this unit. The condo is right across the street from the Killarney National Park, so we started our day with a brisk walk to the Abbey. Beautiful! I recommend renting bikes or E-bikes from down the street to explore the entire park or to ride into town, although it is an easy 20 minute walk into the city center. Suggestions for improvement: replace the two sofas in the living room soon as they are sagging in the middle. This unit is missing an outside table, but does have the four chairs. Don't know what happened to the table...? All in all, I enthusiatically recommend this condo for a comfortable stay and base of operation to explore Killarney. Have fun!

Thank you so much for your wonderful review of my property and delighted you thoroughly enjoyed your stay in Killarney. Thank you for keeping my holiday home very clean and tidy. Thank you for your recommendation on the sofas and the outdoor table. Sometimes other holilday makers remove outdoor chairs and tables from other holiday homes in error. I'll be in a position at the end of the year to replace the sofas and buy a new outside table for guests. Look forward to meeting you all the next time you visit Kerry.

The house was perfect for my family of five adults!

We went to Killarney to attend a family wedding. Pauline’s house is in a great location, was very comfortable, and suited my family of five quite well with its two bathrooms and three bedrooms. The beds were comfortable and the house was clean! We communicated prior to our stay and all information was clear so it was easy to check in and out. On arrival she had a basket of food and fruits as well as milk and butter in the fridge. I only wish we had more time in the area. We would definitely stay at Pauline’s house again and would highly recommend:)

Great Killarney holiday base

We stayed at this lovely property in Killarney in late June, we being a family of 2 adults, 2 young teenagers and youngest under 10. The house is very clean and well maintained with a kitchen full of every tool you'd have at home. Located on the Muckross road, it's an ideal base to explore Killarney. There's a bike hire shop very very close by, with bikes being an ideal way to explore Killarney as there are so many cycle paths and trails. Next door is the Killarney Oaks Hotel, which is handy if you decide you want to dine a short walk away. The town centre is a short drive away, taxi's being readily available if needed. The owner, Pauline, was very pleasant to deal with, very communicative and helpful and left a lovely welcome basket for us when we arrived , it was a lovely touch and one that sets this property owner apart. Don't hesitate to book !

An amazing stay in Killarney

We absolutely loved this house in Killarney! It was extremely comfortable and wonderfully positioned close to the National Park and Muckross House. The house is very well equipped with excellent internet access. Our experience there was all the more enhanced by the superb host , Pauline. On arrival we found she had already provided us with items for breakfast as well as fruit and treats too. Throughout our stay she was always available to us and made many welcome suggestions for activities while we were there. I highly recommend this property for a relaxing break and can’t wait to return in the future.

Except for the confusion as to what date we would be arriving, the 3 bedroom property worked out well for our golf vacation. For us, we would have rather had 2 separate bathrooms rather than an en-suite, but we made do. The "treats" that Pauline had for us upon our arrival was a very welcoming.

Excellent location across the street from Killarney National Park. The property owner was amazing to work with, extremely knowledgeable about the area, and the property itself was exactly what we wanted and expected from a vacation property. Nice touch - she had breakfast foods available for us when we checked in (definitely appreciated since we were checking in late after a long day and no time to stop by the store).

Fantastic Stay!

We had such a wonderful time at this location. Pauline was so helpful and friendly, she answered many of our questions before arriving and also provides a very in depth list of many good restaurants/pubs and things to do in the area. She also had food, coffee and milk waiting for us when we arrived. This location is just outside of the downtown Killarney area. It is within walking distance, but we often got a cab in and out and it wasn't a hassle at all. We ate several times next door as it was quick and convenient. You are directly across the road from the national park, and we walked just a couple of minutes down the road and rented bikes for a great day in the park. There were 5 of us that stayed in the house, three adults and my 13 and 10 year old. The house was perfect for our needs. Two bathrooms and plenty of hot water for us all. It is very clean and well maintained. The beds are very comfortable and the kitchen has everything that you would need. I would not hesitate to book this accommodation. You are just out of town enough that it is a peaceful get away after a day of site seeing, but close enough that you have everything you need close by. The scenery is breathtaking. Thanks Pauline for a wonderful week in Killarney- we had an amazing time!
