Experience the cozy charm of the Captain’s Nest perched atop Bunbeg Harbor and just steps away from the sea.
This lovingly restored historic famine cottage is perched on a rock above Bunbeg Harbor with stunning views of the harbor and the mighty Atlantic Ocean just around the bend from the Coast Guard Station. Our quaint cottage is the quintessential Irish Stone Cottage. The Captain’s Nest is made for couples or a small group of friends who want to spend an intimate time in a cozy cottage by the sea. The Nest boasts amazing views from every window and comes with a fully fitted kitchen and sitting room with cozy fire, and a beautiful garden area with outdoor fire pit for relaxing on your perch above the harbor.
