Fabulous 2 night mini break at the Pilot Station

Loved this property and the location - we had a great time. Super clean, warm and everything you needed for a cosy stay. We enjoyed the views so much and the walks - a place for any kind of weather really. Ciara was a great host - warm and very helpful. Couldn’t have asked for more!

Great way to spend a week by the sea

Wonderful house and great location. Very clean and great communication, including great local dining recommendations. We loved sitting on the deck and watching the pier. A little noisy at times but that is to be expected with the proximity to the pier. We would definitely stay here again.

Very special!

We stayed here just for a single night but the location and views were just stunning. A nice change of pace coming from Dublin and really wish we had more time. Extremely cozy environs with everything you could ask for in terms of bedding, bath, and kitchen. Do yourself a favor and book some time here!

Stunning Views, Beautiful Home

This is a really beautiful home --even nicer than the pictures. The views are absolutely stunning. The home is very comfortable and had everything we needed. There are some restaurants within a short drive and one that can be walked to --as well as a place to grab coffee, pastries, etc. Ciara was very helpful providing some recommendations. I very highly recommend this home.

Beautiful oasis on water

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ciara's beautiful home. The pictures don't fully capture the beauty of the home and the area. It is magnificent and Ciara is awesome. She communicated quickly with us regarding check in and check out. We look forward to staying at this property in the future and have recommended it to many others.

Best VRBO I’ve ever stayed at!

Seriously this place is perfection. It’s so much better than the pictures. The host Ciara was responsive and so nice! The views cannot be beat and it just has this relaxing vibe that makes you feel instantly at home. Very close to Carlingford and Dundalk but feels very private and unique. Worth every penny!

Absolute Gem

This is an absolutely beautiful property in a gorgeous spot. It's really comfortable and well equipped with views that are to die for from every window. We love swimming and could literally walk out the front door for a dip. There are a couple of great restaurants a short drive away andvthe kitchen is well equipped for nights in.

Great Location

This property could get 10 stars if the ratings went that high. There are water views out of ever window. Two second floor decks. Bedrooms are on the first floor so no lugging luggage to the second floor. Will stay here again next time we are in the area.
