Welcome to Beach View House

Uncategorized 1 Minute
Beach View House, Lamb’s Head Beach, Caherdaniel, Co Kerry. It is so remote, we had trouble finding it!
It has 4 bedrooms, 3 tiny bathrooms, a tiny kitchen, a very tiny refrigerator, and one really amazing view.
Panoramic view from the front of the house.
The road down to the beach
Our first trip to the beach; we had seen the horse that made these tracks from the house earlier.
What a peaceful cove!
The shoes came off in a hot second.
And the cold did not stop them from going in! Thomas, Maggie and I were reluctant (sensible?).
It never got deeper than this, but they said the sand was softer in parts and their feet would sink in quite a bit. Nora had a moment of panic, and in her effort to unstick her foot, she fell all the way into the water. Really, it was inevitable that someone would do it, it was just a question of which kid it would be.
They had quite a bit of fun exploring the rocks, but the clouds were rolling in and then the wind picked up, so I called them back.

The walk back up the hill while wet and sandy felt much longer than the walk down!
After changing out of wet, sandy clothes, we headed into Kenmare, the town with the nearest Lidl. The GPS said 42 minutes, but I don’t drive as fast as the locals, so it took us close to an hour. Most of the drive was along the Ring of Kerry, so the view was stunning, but holy cow, those roads are narrow!
Had a delicious dinner here, then did the shopping. The whole trip took almost 5 hours. I might have to bite the bullet and pay the higher prices at the tiny store closer to the house. The real trick was fitting the food into the tiny fridge.

We are thankful for the better internet here! It’s kind of surprising really, because Arklow was such a big town and here we are in the middle of nowhere. We are now officially caught up with all of our blog posts. Hurray!

  2. Hello Everyone! I really appreciate all your beautiful photos and adventure-sharing! Three cheers for you, Jen, managing those tiny roads – I can’t imagine driving on the opposite side, or driving on a road so narrow that only one car can get through. My palms are sweating, just thinking about it!

    I, too, am an avid Avenger fan and greatly looking forward to seeing End Game: Ethan just got home from college and agreed to take me (he and his friends saw it at school on opening night of course, but he said he definitely wanted to see it again).

    Keep your lovely posts coming!
    😉
