Derek’s townhouse was perfect, I’d recommend it highly to any holiday traveler who is feeling a bit tired of restaurant food for every meal, and who might enjoy a “house in town” with a great kitchen and all the comforts of home.

We were a three-generation family group and the townhouse was great for us — the listing photos really don’t do it justice. The space is bright and new, and well-designed with many thoughtful details.

It’s right in town, easy walking distance to the waterfront and Kinsale shops and restaurants. There’s a nice new Supervalu grocery store just up the hill within walking distance, and free 24-hour parking nearby. Check in and out were easy.

There was a small old style fun fair in town when we were there; complete with a few rides, a climbing center, and a real vintage wooden Showman’s caravan. It was an easy walk after dinner and we had fun riding the bumper cars and playing mini golf as a family. My 7-year old nephew enjoyed climbing.

While we didn’t actually meet Derek, we still found him to be a perfect host. He’s an excellent communicator and went out of his way to be helpful and kind.

I would stay here again for sure!
