Welcome to this beautiful holiday home that blends old-world charm with modern comforts. 

Picture yourself surrounded by stunning stone walls and architecture that's been around for about 170 years, all while enjoying the calming sound of the nearby ocean. It's the ideal spot for either a family beach holiday or a peaceful weekend retreat!

A home with history Built approximately 170 years ago, this house was the family home of the Skerrit family for its first hundred yearsor so, lived in and loved by several generations. About 30 years ago it was completely refurbished, with care taken to respect its character, and the current onwer has owned it for the past 20 years. He's delighted to share it with guests who appreciate a home with real history. 

The layout This two-story terraced house has two bedrooms downstairs: a twin room with an ensuite and a cosy double room, along with a communal bathroom. Upstairs, you'll find a spacious open-plan kitchen/living/dining area with fantastic views overlooking Lahinch Beach.

There's also a cool loft area with two single beds, perfect for extra guests or just spreading out. 

Good to know: There's no private parking here, but you'll find on-street parking nearby.

    The location was great and the views were beautiful. The main floor was fantastic. The first floor though (bedrooms and bathrooms) had damp floors - damp enough to make your socks wet. Right on the beach and quick walk to pubs with great music!

    It's all about the view, which more than makes up for the disappointing bathroom facilities.

    Great location!!! Truly right on the water while walking distance to many restaurants and bars but still quiet for sleeping. We did have trouble finding parking but arrived Saturday night so I'm assuming other times/days of the week would be easier, we ended up dropping our luggage, finding parking and walking a few blocks back.Main area of house (living room & kitchen) is really lovely and I wouldn't change a thing, while the second bedroom and bathrooms are pretty small. Listing is accurate, just something to keep in mind, we couldn't fit two suitcases in the twin room as there was no closet/wardrobe/desk/luggage rack and obviously the 3rd bedroom space is a loft so keep in mind if bringing anything more than a duffle.Also keep in mind the hosts say they are unavailable for communication over the weekend, which I understand but probably wouldn't have booked if I had known. We didn't end up needing anything but it made me nervous in case we had as I didn't find out till it was too late to cancel.I recommend this property but for specific types of stays.

    This is such an incredible property. Its very unique designs and spectacular ocean views made it one of the most amazing places I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying at. From an American perspective, the microwave and washer/ dryer combos were a little difficult to figure out but these were still very convenient to have. The neighborhood was also very welcoming. If we ever return to this area, we would stay here again in a heartbeat.

    We showed up early straight from the airport (my mistake reading the check in time), and the property manager was gracious about messaging us when the cleaners were finished and the property was ready for us (still a bit earlier than posted check in). The house was lovely, and the view was as stunning as it looks on the listing. Our only compolaint was that both showers need new temperature valves- it's either tap cold or scalding, in spite of the instructions. Not a deal breaker- we would rent this place again in a heartbeat.

    We stayed here with our adult children, 5 of us in all, and loved it. Great location, amazing view from the living area. We took a quick drive one evening to Doolin for some live trad music and delicious fish and chips, but also had great foo as well as a great bakery. We would definitely stay here again.

    We had a great stay! Lahinch was an awesome little surf town, and being so close to the ocean was a plus

    Absolutely fantastic location, it really does not get any better than this. The unit does need a good deep cleaning. Blinds over the main window looking out on the ocean would be a huge improvement, as the setting sun made it hard to sit in the main room. Ultimately, the location cannot be beat and is definitely worth staying here.
