Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the apartment to be clean, with particular praise for its condition upon arrival. However, one review suggested that a more thorough deep clean, especially in the kitchen and bathrooms, could enhance the experience.
The location is consistently lauded for its amazing views and proximity to the beach, making it a prime spot for guests. The convenience to local amenities and the ease of exploring the surrounding areas contribute to its high rating.
The property is frequently described as comfortable and a 'home away from home', with several guests noting the comfort provided during their stay. However, there are mentions of the property being basic, which suggests room for improvement.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the property described as well-equipped. Nonetheless, a few guests noted the absence of a wash-hand basin in the en-suite and suggested updates, indicating that while facilities are good, there is potential for enhancement.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews. Therefore, while the owner's helpfulness is noted, there is insufficient information to assess thoughtfulness in terms of gifts.

Kilkee is a picturesque seaside town on the western coast of County Clare, overlooking the mile-long horseshoe bay, with a safe, sandy Blue Flag beach that is shielded from the Atlantic weather by the Duggerna Reef. Bathing and swimming are popular activities at Kilkee, and for good reason: it is widely considered the safest bathing place in all of Ireland, regardless of the stage of the tide. Each week during the summer break, kids ages 9 to 16 can sign up for a surf camp at Kilkee or Doughmore beach with the Kilkee Surf School, or they can go to Waterworld. The Thalassotherapy Centre provides a range of sea-based therapies, and Waterworld features a number of indoor water attractions like a bubble pool, shower geysers, the "lazy river ride," and a 61-meter crystal tower slide, making it a popular destination no matter the weather. The road leading to George's Head features a stunning 18-hole championship golf course that stretches along the cliffs. Many of the walks offer views of spectacular cliffs. Kilkee is home to a number of cafes and restaurants that focus on seafood caught locally, and the local pubs and lounge bars regularly host live music competitions, Irish cultural events, cabaret, dancing, and even pub theatre. You can go dolphin watching at nearby Carrigaholt, and there are also opportunities for sailing, scuba diving, birdwatching, and even horseback riding. All bases are covered.
