Granary Apartment in the Heart of Kinsale

Overlooking the marina and Yeocomico River, this loft-style apartment is a perfect home base in the charming village of Kinsale. Take in all the area has to offer - beautiful views, coastal wildlife, historic sites, river adventures, wineries, local seafood and produce - and come back to relax in this lovely setting.

The Space
Adjacent to the village's steamboat landing and Kinsale Market, this building was originally constructed in 1920 as a granary and storage house. In 1979 the Granary Apartment as you see it today was designed and added by Annie's father. Located in the heart of the small village, with a surprisingly unique yet timeless style inside, the apartment makes for a memorable experience.

From here it's easy to pop in to the Kinsale Market next door for lunch or dinner supplies, walk to the museum, rent a kayak down the hill at the marina, take your dog for a paddle - we're excited to share the many activities in and around Kinsale.

Guest Access
The Granary Apartment takes up the entire second floor of the building and is accessed by an exterior staircase. The adjacent marina is also run by Annie, your host, and you will have use of the pool, tennis court, and grills there.

Other Things to Note
The Apartment is located on the second floor of an old building, and does require climbing up rather steep steps in order to access it. Once inside, the loft space is up another set of steep steps. Keeping that in mind, this may not be suitable for small children or anyone who has trouble climbing stairs.

Note that the Apartment does not have central AC, but 2 AC window units. There is a Smart TV but no cable.

The Granary, right down the hill from the Apartment, is still in operation and during certain times of the year farm trucks and barges are coming and going regularly. Depending on harvest seasons and the weather, there may be noise coming from the operation - it's white noise to most of us here, but be aware we can't predict when those times will be and sometimes it does run during the night.

The Apartment and village have a lot of character - it's a great place to visit if you're interested in history, wildlife, river life, and unique experiences - but doesn't offer some of the comforts that more modern rentals may, so keep that in mind when booking. "Poor in things plentiful, but rich in things rare" is how my father used to describe the area - we continue to stand out that way today.
