Christine greeted us herself and had prepared a delicious ham and scones ! House was very comfortable with a parking space. Location is a short walking distance to the waterfront at Seapoint where you can swim and chat with the regulars, the DART metro for a 20 minute trip into Dublin and Monkstown for plenty of restaurants (we liked Cinnamon). We really enjoyed walking the seafront from Seapoint through Dun Laoighaire to Sandycove and the 40 foot bathing area/ Joyce's Tower (with the friendliest and most enthusiastic guides). Coastal Dun Laoighaire/ Dalkey/ Killiney are beautiful areas.
