Great location, house has been upgraded which is great. Lovely beach, playground and cafe nearby. The Wi-Fi and smart television is a great addition when the weather is bad.
Some new kitchen utensils needed, mainly frying pans.

Fantastic picturesque holiday home
We loved everything about our stay here. The location, house layout and the fact everything in the house looked well cared for and loved, art in the house, kitchen facilities. Andrii and Colm were both fantastic at ensuring we knew everything we needed to know about the house before we arrived and answering any questions or helping with any queries e.g. extra towels. We couldn’t have met 2 nicer people.
Beds could be a bit comfier.

Outside of Stone Cottage doesn't do justice to inside.
The situation is perfect, house is way above all expections, with 3 fridges, 3 bathrooms, well stocked kitchen, under floor heating and no noise even with 6 adults staying there. Lovely development with easy access to plenty of places to visit in SW Kerry.
Only observation, not a complaint, is the showers could be a little stronger.

Delighted
We had a lovely week staying in this beautiful modern comfortable house, set in idyllic Ballinskelligs. We were met by Andrii who was so attentive, and available at short notice and very helpful, we were greeted by a beautiful welcome card and pack from owners Colm and Áine, the house has all the essentials and is located within walking distance from the beach and has stunning views. Thank you from us all for a really great holiday experience.
Only minor- but more hooks in the bathroom to hang towels/clothes when in use would be a good addition.

Family friendly holiday home in outstanding location
The location of the house was fantastic, just a couple of minutes walk (crossing a main road) to Ballinskelligs beach, in a quiet, mature development with nice green space and a tennis court. The house is bright and practical, suitable for families and groups.
We have some minor suggestions to make the rental even better. Overall the house is well equipped, particularly the kitchen, but it would be better to have bath mats and towels provided as a basic standard. The back of the house could use some TLC in terms of cleaning down walls, pathway out the back door and window ledges (which clearly had not been cleaned for some time). Carpet in the downstairs bedrooms would make them much more comfortable (on a par with upstairs). We were overall very happy with our stay, however, and would come back.

Lovely house location in beautiful location
The views from the house are amazing.
The only negative was that there was very little open in Ballinskellg itself. The pub did not do food only served drinks so to eat out we had to drive to Waterville.

Beautiful Ballinskelligs Bay
We have just come back from a week in beautiful Ballinskelligs ..we really enjoyed our stay but one major downside was the closure of the local pub / restaurant at Cable O’Learys. If this had been open our family holiday would have been perfect even if the weather wasn’t ...! The house was super and ideal for an active family getaway especially liked the double sided stove..made house so cosy in the evening..
We will be back..
A welcome pack would have been useful as we didn’t know anything about Ballinskelligs and the surrounding area... tips on where to eat, local activities etc. would have helped...
The tennis court was a feature we looked forward to using but it is in appalling condition and was effectively useless which was disappointing.... don’t advertise it if it isn’t fit for purpose

Little Piece of Heaven
Excellent location. Very safe for families. Close to lots of amenities, ie: Valentia Island for Sea Camp with Sandra was a big hit with my sons aged 6 & 9. Beach easily accessible by foot with Cois Trá an added bonus. We will return as we have done on many a year before.
The house sleeps 9, however it only has a small fridge. The fridge seal is in need of repair and/or replace with a bigger fridge. The lighting unit above the island is far too low causing a number of head injuries.
It was a great shame that Cable O’Leary’s opted NOT to open as its a good food/music/gathering venue for locals and holiday makers. Maybe next year so roll on 2021.
