About this house rental
An elegant period house, on the waterfront in Monkstown, Cork. 20 minutes drive from Cork City and airport. Not quite "Sitting at the Dock of the Bay" but close. Chillax or not, that is the question ? Lovely leisurely local walks, on the Greenway old rail line, throw your canoe or paddle board over the wall (tidal). Perfect base for nearby attractions and activities, Fota Wildlife Park / House/ Adventure, Spike Island/ Fort Camden, Funkytown, cross river ferry to Cobh heritage town.
Built in 1842 retaining many original features.
Bright and airy, large rooms, high ceilings. The kitchen/ living room is in the basement with atmospheric log burning stove, lower ceiling here, access to split level back yard/garden.

A very cool, old home overlooking the creek in Monkstown with lots of character. We enjoyed a few meals around the kitchen table and playing some games there as well. It’s an easy walk down to the Bosun pub for a meal. My wife and I had nice morning walks and runs along the water. Host is great and will give you tons of local and regional recommendations. Pay attention to parking instructions and trust that the street side parking out front is the best way to go. Location is good for day trips to Cork, Cobh, Midleton and Kinsail.

William was great. Fantastic job showing us the details of the home from 1847. Easy process all the way around.

William was a wonderful host. We arrived early and he accommodated us with no problems. One of the most impressive things about our host was how friendly and interested he was in us having a wonderful visit to Ireland. He supplied us with milk, bread, eggs, butter, coffee, and fruit. His rationale; “I know the last thing you want to have to do is shop for food for breakfast when you arrive. William was an exemplary host. Our experience wouldn’t have been as good without him.

William was terrific! He’s a very accommodating host! The house is beautiful and very comfortable. Easy access to Cork and Cobh. The Boson Restaurant down the street from the house is a great please for lunch and dinner, the staff are very friendly and the food delicious.
