No.54 Shearwater, Kinsale was the perfect spot for our family holiday. The apartment is situated opposite Kinsale Marina and it was beautiful to sit having breakfast in the morning and watch the harbour cruise and yachts come and go. The development is set around open courtyards so its very appealing to families. We were holidaying for a week, my husband was sailing and I had our three young boys to entertain! We arrived late on a saturday evening with tired and starving children I was so surprised to see how well this apartment was kitted out. There was food in the cupboards and pizza in the freezer, we instantly felt like we were home. Gerardine and Kevin have thought of absolutely everything when it comes to the facilities in this property, you can function exactly like you would in your own home and its all there waiting for you, from toilet paper in the loos to tea bags on the countertop. Its for this reason No.54 Shearwater will offer you an instantly relaxing break. The apartment is absolutely spotless, the decor is bright, modern, crisp and very complimentary to the beautiful location it is part of. The beds are extremely comfortable, the linen is crisp white with comfy duck down duvets and pillows. The kids room was perfect with bunk beds and it was a very safe environment for them. Ok theres no balcony as such but you don't actually need one because of the way the development has been designed around various courtyards theres plenty of outside space in the complex. The floor to ceiling windows in the living room where my favourite offering views over the bay. In terms of its location in Kinsale it couldn't be more accessible. We were right bedside the playground, the fairground and Actons leisure centre were my kids swam for hours on rainy days (€6 per child entry fee). We had mixed weather in Kinsale but that didn't matter there was plenty to occupy the kids right on our doorstep. For the few good days we had we spent them on Dock Beach which is a 3 minute drive from the apartment. Another big benefit of this property is the ground floor parking space, as parking in Kinsale can be tricky. Dealing with Geraldine was so easy and so professional, everything just runs so smoothly. It really felt like home to me, I was genuinely sad when I turned the key for the last time in No.54 and promised myself I will definitely come back.
