This is a sweet little spot that is quiet and near the ocean. The hosts accepted me last minute, which I really appreciated. Heads up: the shower is pretty quirky and I had trouble getting it to be a reasonable temperature but Kevin came and futzed with it and made it work somewhat better. There was a bit of a snafu when I came home from swimming to find the water had been shut off with no notice from the hosts. Also FYI: a local friend told me that Red Strand is actually known as having one of the more dangerous undertows of all the beaches in Cork, which I didn’t find out until after I’d gone swimming there.
