We stayed from December 26 through January 1. I'm embarrassed that it has taken ten months to write a review (my outdated technology wouldn't work on this site . We travelled from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Owner's representative was quick to respond to our arrival even though we arrived on an Irish holiday. The representative showed us how to operate everything in the home. She also explained which pubs offered food, location of grocery store, etc. During our visit we did meet the homeowner. We enjoyed his company very much and could have visited with him for hours. He refunded our deposit immediately after our trip. The house was very clean, comfortable and modern. We were just two travelers, but the house would have comfortably slept many more without feeling cramped. Television channels were sparse due to surrounding mountains blocking signal, but we didn't want to sit and watch TV much anyway. There was ample room to park our car. The house has a lovely patio. Had our trip been in a warmer season, we would have spent time enjoying outdoor meals. Storm Frank hit during our visit and the house stood up to it without a problem. There is a small grocery store at the end of the block. We ended up there almost every day for miscellaneous goods. There is a larger grocery store in Dingle - Garvey's SuperValu. Dingle, the biggest town on the peninsula, is a short drive away. Dingle is large enough to meet any need a visitor might have. We spent every evening at Murphy's Pub, which is a short walk from the house. The local people were all very friendly toward us and the food was good.We traveled the Dingle Pensinula, the Ring of Kerry, and the Cliffs of Moher, but our favorite afternoon was the one we spent walking the Sli an Mhaiman walk. It is a walk recommended by the local tourist bureau. The walk starts a block from the rental home and took us to a monastic ruin site, a dilapidated castle, and ruins of a parish church with its cemetery (which is still used). There was no sound from airplanes, cars, or anything else except random sheep and cows. I traveled to Ireland in March, 2015. During my stay, I spent St. Patrick's Day in Dingle and the Dingle Peninsula. Of anywhere in the world, this is where I wanted to visit again. I recall driving through Ballyferriter and noting what a cute village it was. It was very worthwhile to return and investigate the area closer, which was the purpose of our visit in December. LOVED IT!
