Incredible!!!
We loved our stay so much, we wished we booked this house longer! The history of the property we learned from the property manager was astounding. The views of the water, back garden, and lounging on the couch just looking at the walls around us were priceless. Highly recommend staying at this property if you want to feel like you’re really in Ireland!

One of a kind experience
Mt. Vernon offers a rich history and tons of character to enhance any vacation to Ireland or Flaggy Shore. Our communication and walk through with Brenda, the property manager was attentive and thorough. Mark, the property owner, was engaging and incredibly helpful for whatever we needed (even just some attention from his beautiful dog Lily); he even went so far as to provide a gift basket with local food and drink from the area upon our arrival. The home was clean and the many of the rooms had incredible views of Galway Bay. Everything was comfortable and homey. This property would make a dreamy summer home, but even in the autumn had tons of charm! Every room had so many books which just lends itself to its rich literary history of Lady Gregory and other authors/poets that have stayed there. I'm definitely going to come back and stay again! I cannot recommend it enough!

Beautiful Home Filled with History
I stayed here with 5 other adult family members and it was so perfect as everyone had their own room and bathroom! Brenda was so welcoming and easy to communicate with. Mark stopped over to say hello after looking for his dog Lily who we had fallen in love with and had in the home hanging out with us. Great people and great home rich with history!
