MARINA VIEW
Luxury Family Holiday Home in Kinsale, Sleeping Up to 20 Guests
There are holiday homes with views, and then there is Marina View. From this stunning single-storey property you can see the Atlantic Ocean, the Bandon River and Kinsale Marina all at once. A panorama that stops guests in their tracks on arrival and keeps them coming back year after year.
Six beautifully appointed bedrooms sleeping up to 20 guests, generous open-plan living spaces, a fully equipped kitchen, and one of the finest family gardens of any holiday property in Ireland. Marina View sits just three minutes from the centre of Kinsale town, making it as convenient as it is beautiful.
Set entirely on one floor, it’s one of the most accessible large holiday homes on the Wild Atlantic Way. Ideal for multigenerational families, guests with limited mobility, parents with young children and anyone who simply wants space, comfort and breathtaking views.
What guests love about Marina View
Living and Entertaining at Marina View
The heart of Marina View is its wonderfully bright and spacious open-plan living area. A space that immediately feels like somewhere you want to spend a week. Four large sofas, gorgeous Bandon River views through the patio doors and a warmth and character that makes it equally perfect for a cosy movie night or a lively group evening in.
The dining area flows directly from the living space and seats 16 guests, with patio doors opening out to the exterior dining terrace, so that on a good evening the boundary between inside and outside simply disappears.
The kitchen is modern, spacious and fully equipped with every appliance and piece of equipment a group needs for a week of self-catering. A central island doubles as a breakfast bar and a natural gathering point. It’s the kind of kitchen where everyone ends up congregating, glass of wine in hand, while dinner is being prepared.
Don’t feel like cooking every night? We can arrange a private chef to come to Marina View and cook for your entire group, or point you towards the best restaurants and delivery options in Kinsale, just a three minute drive. Let us know when you enquire and we’ll take care of it.
Sleeping Arrangements
Marina View is arranged entirely on one floor, making it genuinely accessible and practical for guests of all ages and mobility levels.
Extra beds can be arranged to accommodate up to 20 guests in total, plus cots and high chairs are available for younger guests. Please confirm your group size at the time of booking.
The Glorious Garden at Marina View
Ask any Marina View guest what they loved most about their stay and the garden comes up every time. It’s simply exceptional: a large, beautifully maintained lawned space with enough to keep every age group happy from morning until well after dark.
The covered gazebo seats 16 guests and is the social centrepiece of the outdoor space; perfect for al fresco dinners, long summer evenings, or sheltered outdoor entertaining whatever the weather. A dedicated barbecue area sits alongside, making summer group cooking genuinely enjoyable rather than an afterthought.
Children are extraordinarily well catered for with a 42-foot climbing frame, a sunken trampoline, goal posts and a play area that keeps younger guests occupied for hours at a stretch. Parents have consistently told us it’s the most liberating thing about Marina View; the children are safe, entertained and happy, and the adults can actually relax.
For those who want a little more activity, the nine-hole pitch and putt is a brilliant way to spend a morning. And in the garage you’ll find table football and table tennis – with proper lighting for evening tournaments, it’s ideal for rainy days or post-dinner competition.
To the front of the property, a long secure driveway leads from the gates to the house, with views across to the Wild Atlantic Way opening up as you arrive.
Who Marina View Is Perfect For
Families with children
Marina View is quite simply one of the best family holiday homes in Ireland. The single-storey layout, the extraordinary garden, the climbing frame, trampoline, pitch and putt and games room combine to make it a property where children are genuinely thrilled to be. Guests tell us their children didn’t want to leave.
Multigenerational groups
The single-storey layout means no stairs anywhere in the property; a genuine advantage for grandparents, guests with limited mobility, or parents with young children in pushchairs. All bedrooms, bathrooms and living spaces are on the same level.
Summer family getaways:
With the garden, the BBQ, the outdoor dining terrace and Dock Beach just three minutes away, Marina View is at its absolute best in the summer months. Book early, it fills up fast for July and August!
Celebration weekends
The gazebo seating 16, the open plan entertaining space and the privacy of the property make Marina View a wonderful setting for a special birthday, anniversary, hen party or group celebration.
Winter breaks
Guests have specifically noted how warm and comfortable Marina View is even in the coldest months. The cosy living space, the fully equipped kitchen and the short drive to Kinsale’s restaurants and pubs make it perfect for off-season stays.
