Siobhán's house doesn't deserve 5 stars........ it deserves 50 STARS! My wife and I had the pleasure of arriving in Ballybunion and winding our way down the road to the Breakers Beach House. Upon arrival, we met Siobhán and had the friendliest chat and tour of the home you could ever want. The beach home is absolutely STUNNING in-person and we were blown away.
Every detail of the home is well thought out and extremely functional. The unobstructed views from the sitting room are dreamy, especially with a morning cup of coffee or a glass of wine at sunset. We stayed here in March and the weather was warm enough to leave the sliding door open and listen to the ocean breeze every day (when it wasn't raining -- which, it didn't too often in our 2 weeks!) Everything in the home feels brand new and extremely thoughtful. It's such a silly thing, but the instant boiling water from the kitchen tap was a huge hit for us. You know, that and the views of the cliffs and Ballybunion Castle while you cook a delicious meal. Oh, also, you walk out the front door and within a few steps the sand is in your toes and you're enjoying amazing Irish sunsets! What else can you ask for in a beach house? I could go on and on for hours, if you're hovering over the button to book this Airbnb, stop hovering and just book it! You will not be disappointed.
Ballybunion, the town itself, is very small, quaint, but at the same time very lovely. You feel like a local within a day or two and there are enough restaurants to keep you fed. Definitely make a trip to Gourmandises Time (the French Bakery) when they are open, it's a must-visit! Also, make sure to do the Cliff Walk just out the front door of the house at different times of day to see the landscape change depending on the tide and sunlight. You'll get plenty of recommendations from Siobhán, so don't think you have to plan everything ahead of time.
We can't say enough good things about this home. We can't wait to come back!
