Welcome

The Season the Locals Love Best

From mid-September to mid-March, Kenmare is a different kind of special. The summer crowds have gone, the roads are quiet, and the landscape takes on that soft, dramatic Kerry light. Whether you’re relocating for work, taking a sabbatical, writing a book, or simply need a change of scenery for a few months — we’ve got a home for you.
This is the season the locals love best. The pace slows right down. You’ll find a seat by the fire in Ó’Donnabháin’s without a wait, space at your favourite café, and walking trails that feel like they’re yours alone. The low sun across the bay, the mist in the mountains, the sound of rain on the roof — it’s proper cosy country, and after a few weeks you’ll feel less like a visitor and more like you belong here.

Why Stay With Us

Everything Sorted, So You Can Just Live

Long-term stays should feel easy. Here’s what’s already taken care of in every one of our homes.

Free Wi-Fi in Every Home

Strong, reliable, and included. No extra charge, no fuss. Perfect for remote work, video calls, streaming, or just staying in touch with home. Every single one of our homes has it.

No setting up utility accounts

Electricity and heating are charged based on what you actually use, so you only pay for what you consume. No deposits, no paperwork, no queues, no connection fees. We handle it all — you just live.

Fully equipped homes

Every property comes with a fully equipped kitchen, bed linen, towels, and everything you need to settle in from day one. No buying a toaster on arrival.

Flexible lengths of stay

From one month to the whole off season. We'll work around your plans — tell us your dates and we'll find the right fit.

Live like a local

Kenmare is a real working town all year round. Pubs with open fires, award-winning restaurants that stay open, shops, galleries, and a strong community. You're not just visiting — you're living here.

On Hand & Local

We're based right here in Kenmare and on hand if you need anything during your stay. Real people, a proper welcome, and quick help when it matters.

Life in Kenmare

The Town Comes Into Its Own

Kenmare doesn’t shut down when the tourists leave — it comes into its own. The pubs still have trad sessions, the restaurants stay open and get easier to book, the Wednesday market runs, and the galleries keep their doors open. This is the time for proper walking and hiking: the Ring of Kerry and Ring of Beara start right here, Killarney National Park is a short drive away, and there’s golf, fishing, and endless quiet roads to explore.

The weather is dramatic, the light is stunning, and the welcome is warm. You’ll get to know the town — the butchers, the bakers, the regulars — in a way summer visitors never do.
