Our beloved Kylbeg is a wonderfully appointed 4 bedroom residence in the heart of Cork’s most exclusive community. With views of Cork Harbour and the picturesque Crosshaven village to the front, the house enjoys a magical balance of tranquility and adventure, all the while nestled into the forested hill that makes up the majestic Currabinny Woods. Looking across the Owenbue Estuary from the master bedroom’s balcony, the high steeple of St Brigit’s Church competes for attention with the colourful pubs and pleasure boats of the historical village.

The centre of the house is taken up by the large dining room, where food is shared with family and friends, and where plans are hatched over cups of tea. The kitchen is finished to the highest level, and will put a smile on the face of even the most discerning cook.

Those with a hunger for the great outdoors will feel right at home in Kylbeg. The calm waters of the estuary make for excellent swimming, and are accessible at the end of the drive. Furthermore, the house boasts private access to the Currabinny Woods: an 80 acre expanse of woodland trails through diverse species of trees and remnants of Bronze Age habitation.

The inspiration we take from the forest and the sea around us is reflected everywhere you turn. The walls are adorned with the work of Irish artists and photographers, and the work of our favourite Irish designers is evident throughout.

We look forward to welcoming you to Kylbeg, and showing off the best of what Cork and Ireland have to offer.

    Kylbeg was such a peaceful and relaxing place to be. Just a beautiful house in a beautiful neighborhood with an equally beautiful view. Lots of quiet and privacy. The location was great. So close to Cork City and the quaint towns of Carrigaline and Crosshaven, and an easy trip to the ferry over to Cobh. We all slept well in the comfortable beds, and enjoyed being able to make breakfast and dinner at the house in the well appointed kitchen. It was a treat to be able to sit outside everyday with a cup of coffee or glass of wine, to enjoy the view and the activity on the water. We walked the trails in Curraghbinny Woods and the shoreline road where we chatted with friendly locals. Thank you Robert for the thoughtful welcome basket with so many wonderful local goodies, and for looking in on us to make sure we had all we needed. Always available to answer every question. We truly hope we have the opportunity to come again!

    I can’t say enough good things about our stay. From the booking to the checkout, it was perfect! Robert was so easy to work with and very responsive to every inquiry. When we arrived, there was a gorgeous welcome basket and very nice note. The space was perfect for the nine of us, so comfortable in every way. Having three full baths was especially nice. We enjoyed the garden and the woods and trails behind the house. The view was magnificent. Our family especially enjoyed every amenity, from the posh linens to the espresso coffee machine. Thank you for the perfect location for our family holiday! We have the best memories to take home with us!

    Truly cannot say enough about our stay here! From the views, to the house to the communication, all were stellar! Robert was incredibly communicative and helpful on all matters though there was nothing we needed for the house because he had it all! Waking up and having coffee in the front to the view was just as you would imagine. The pictures are truly what you get and more! Plenty of space for our whole group to spread out! Kids and adults included. Cleanliness is really important to us and this was top notch. We loved having this spot as a landing space after a long day of touring. Highly recommend!

    Renting Robert’s home was the perfect one week vacation experience for my family and I. Robert and his wife had prepared an incredibly thoughtful welcome package with delicious local foods. So our first evening in their home was relaxed and we did not have to go out for dinner. Robert had been in touch with me from when I made the reservation and was in touch with me several days in advance to go through all the details to make sure nothing was left to chance. Their home is lovely with every amenity and a stunning view from the front yard patio of the cove with boats. Their home backs up on an 80 acre private wooded area on a hill with an ancient burial mound at the top. My grandsons could run around their large yard and walk with us on the wooded path to the top of the hill. The home is immaculate and roomy, with a large modern kitchen. entry to the home from the driveway is into a mudroom, allowing us to drop shoes if the weather was rainy. Perfect experience for my family. Marcia

    Great location with super views of the estuary and marina at Crosshaven from all rooms and the garden. The house is light and spacious with easily enough room for 3 adults and 2 children. Fittings are contemporary and it's very well equipped, including a pasta maker! Behind the house is a wooded headland with numerous woodland paths to views over the whole estuary. Management of the house it top notch, one call to the host and everything from new gas bottles for the barbeque to egg cups arrived within a couple of hours. Bottom line we would liked to have stayed another week!

    The property is immaculate with just about every feature one can imagine. The only complaint I have is that the vrbo website showed it as being on the South side of the river in Crosshaven, whereas it was on the North side of the river about a 20 minute drive from the Royal Cork Yacht Club where our yacht was based ! I believe that the address also, erroneously included “Crosshaven” in its description and the pindrop was shown to be on the South side. However, the quality of the property made up for this fairly major error. My other main observation is that it was surprising to have to pay in US$s when the local currency is €s

    The house is beautiful with views of the harbor from every room in the house. After traveling, were so appreciative of the basket of treats that Robert left for us! We loved walking in the woods behind the house and the location was both quiet and convenient for exploring the area (we had such a lovely day in nearby Kinsale). The quality of the towels, bedding, and kitchen were excellent and it truly felt like we were welcome (not just using someone’s home while they were away). Plenty of space for this mom and two teenagers to spread out and to spend time together. Robert was responsive with our questions and made us feel at home. We loved our time at this beautiful property and were sad to leave! Our experience could not have been more positive!

    This home has impeccable views of the bay and is located on a beautiful hillside. The 4 bedrooms accommodated my family with plenty of room. we all enjoyed playing scrabble and ding in the specious dining room and cooking on the barbecue. The home is totally equipped. We also enjoyed the views as we sat outside on the patio. The host Robert was so nice and was easy to reach with questions. This home is a “10” and we loved staying there. Thank you Robert for everything.
