The Deck: The large deck off the main dining room has seating to accomodate twelve people comfortably, and has views across the Atlantic and Kenmare Bay. There is also a fully-functional four-burner barbeque Grill Master and a Mexican stove. This has been recently renovated in full, and is a beautiful area to enjoy the sunsets.
The Front Patio: The front patio has seating for six people and catches the morning sun. Overlooking Kenmare Bay, this is a lovely, relaxing spot to watch the world go by.

House Layout
As shown in the overhead photo, the property is split into three completely independent units. All 3 residences have their OWN ENTRY POINTS and cannot be accessed through one another.
Mary lives in a granny flat and Kevin, who is away for 6-7 months of the year, lives in an independent flat.
