Sea Mist, Idyllic Setting overlooking the Atlantic Ocean

A beautiful home overlooking Doolin and the Aran Islands with Doonagore Castle close by, welcomes you to the “Wild Atlantic Way”

Located in a cul-de-sac of five houses, traffic is at a minimum and the only sounds being heard are the soft mooing of cows in the adjoining fields and the breaking of Atlantic waves on the shore below.

The views from the house are spectacular, sea and sky, with amazing sunsets over the Aran Islands and Galway Bay.

The house is a stylish cottage conversion designed by the owner, a well- known interior designer, whose family have long established roots in Co.Clare.

The theme of the interior is in keeping with the landscape, reflecting the colours from the rural setting outside. Soft off white walls with oak floors throughout the house creates an atmosphere of relaxed contemporary living.

Over 2800 square feet in size, on three quarters of an acre of manicured gardens, the house amply caters for seven people, both in space and luxury.

It comprises of four large double bedrooms, two of which are on the ground floor with views to the sea. Both have ensuite bathrooms, beautifully appointed with stone tiling and mirrored walls to reflect light. One of the ensuites is a "wet room" suitable for the elderly or those with limited mobility.

The main bathroom, also located on the ground floor, is equipped with bath and shower, and is finished to the highest standard.
As with all bathrooms it has underfloor heating.

Kitchen, dining and seating area join seamlessly together to form a central space and are beautifully appointed with large comfortable sofas, soft lighting, rugs and paintings. A wood burning fire in the main living area acts as a focal point and adds to the sense of warmth and cosiness.

Large picturesque windows which line the rear of the house, brings light and sunshine into the open plan living area and reflect the beautiful views around.

Sea Mist has been featured in two prestigious interior design magazines, House Beautiful in May 2015 and Home Interiors and Living in October 2015

If you wish to experience Irish life at it’s best, Sea Mist is the ideal location.

Beautiful house, wonderful location

My wife and I spent a week at Sea Mist cottage in Doolin. The house is very comfortable and the Doolin area is quite amazing in terms of restaurants, pubs and spectacular scenery. The pictures of the house and views really can’t do justice to how beautiful it is. I would highly recommend this property.

Amazing Family Visit

The views were amazing from this house. If you want to feel part of what makes the coast of County Clare special this house did it for our family. The house itself was very functional and designed perfectly for the needs of a family vacation. We would 100% recommend it to others. Regards,

Gorgeous sea view stay

We loved everything about the Sea Mist cottage. The location was unbeatable (4-5 minutes from downtown Doolin), unbelievable views (over looking the great Atlantic) and the layout of the house was superb. The main living space was separated from the bedrooms which was awesome for a large group (minimize noise for people sleeping). The bedrooms were incredibly comfy and bathrooms spacious. The entire property was newly renovated and appointed with very nice materials/fixtures. Highly recommend.

Trip of a lifetime

Absolutely picture perfect. Literally! The home was well maintained and well stocked with the necessities. The view and location was exactly what we were looking for and towards in our Irish vacation. We would love to stay there again on our next trip to Ireland exploring the sights and people of this lovely country.

Beautiful Sea Views for sure!

House, gardens, most furnishings are lovely. Perhaps starting to need a bit of TLC ie kitchen organization, some wonky light fixtures etc. Stunning views as promised, laneway in to house is quite rough. Doolin itself is charming, spread out over quite an area and a steep walk down and back to the house. Some great restaurants - our favourite was Glas.

Extraordinary!

The home is spacious and beautifully appointed with spectacular views of the North Atlantic. We were also delighted to discover that we had a castle as a neighbor! We enjoyed the tranquil setting and were provided with everything we needed. Both the host and the manager were very responsive and gracious. We enjoyed the traditional music in Doolin and the numerous restaurants/pubs and all right next to the cliffs of Moher!

Ocean views, convenient, spacious

Generously appointed, spacious and modern. I wouldn't hesitate to book Seamist for a longer time than the few nights we stayed. It was so difficult to move on - sunsets over the ocean, well-equipped kitchen, comfortable furnishings for long conversations, and a picturesque castle tower nearby. Nearby are so many engaging activities - the Cliffs, Aran Islands, hiking, biking, swimming, Doolin, Lisdoonvarna. Fantastic beds, lovely bedding and linens. On a quiet road, good access to walking paths. It's the country, so shop for groceries before arrival. Highest recommendation. Easy check in, great communications.

Family Vacation

The Seamist home made our first trip to Ireland a completely gorgeous experience! From the house we enjoyed the views of the ocean and the lush green scape. Upon entering the house we were in awe of the large size and the beautiful decor. We had more than enough space for our family of 5 adults. The house had all the comforts and supplies we needed so we were truly able to relax. And the Doolin area was everything we hoped for! We were able to travel to the Aran islands and Cliffs of Moher with ease. O’Connors pub was our favorite nearby restaurant and nightly hangout. We hope to visit this home again in the near future!

Beautiful views / house

Great views , great house, Doolin a short taxi ride , not so easy walk, especially back to house. One issue, I thought all bedrooms had a private full bath, that's not the case. 2 downstairs bedrooms have full baths, but the 2 bedrooms upstairs share a 1/2 bathroom...the full bathroom for them to use is actually on 1st floor at end of hallway. That being said, would highly recommend.

Sea Mist House in Doolin

This house in Doolin was even better than anticipated. It was our home away from home on top of the world in Doolin. The owner Pat answered my messages immediately with advice when needed. The house has an electric fence out front to keep the cows away from the garden. One issue was that we had no advance notice on this and mentioned that this should be noted in the house booklet...info would be helpful for non farm folks..ha! We loved every minute at this Sea Mist House. A well stocked kitchen as well. We stayed in for meals and cooked a lot. Can't wait to come back to the Sea Mist house with family and friends. Highly recommend this house if you can afford it... well priced for what you get. My family in Ireland also loved the house and may also rent it for family getaways in the near future. We will be back. Thank you Pat. Also, the surprise welcome package was a nice touch and greatly appreciated.

5 stars all around

This was our second time booking this property, and the first time staying during the summer. Last time we enjoyed a week here during the winter and both times have been spectacular. Definitely more to do in the summer though. We loved the close access to the Doolin ferry and all the shops and restaurants. This is a great location for driving to visit the rest of Clare on easy day trips as well. Our group had 5 adults and the house was spacious and comfortable.

Family trip of a lifetime @ Sea Mist

We absolutely loved our week at Sea Mist cottage. It was perfect for our entire family of six, including my husband and I, my Mom, Brother, and our two teenage boys. The cottage was decorated so well, was so welcoming and comfortable, clean and spacious! It was fully equipped with everything we needed to enjoy our week as a family. The views were absolutely spectacular. We loved riding our electric bikes into town and throughout all the bike routes in the area. We thanked ourselves for selecting the electric bikes on the way back up the hill to the cottage. Something we highly recommend for other staying at the cottage. We couldn’t imagine taking that trek back up to the cottage on a normal bike! Sea Mist cottage was perfect for us to find time together as a family at the dinner table, enjoying the view outside, or just chilling in the living room. The description of the bathroom situation could be a little bit better on the listing. Explain that there is only a toilet and sink in the upstairs bathroom next to the two bedrooms up there (all 3 showers are on the ground floor). So if people staying up there want to take a shower, they need to come downstairs. The only thing we couldn’t really figure out very well was the combination washer/dryer. The binder of information on all the appliances was great, but no matter what setting we used, we never could seem to get our clothes all the way dry. Other than that, we absolutely loved everything else about the cottage.
