Try out tiny home living in this adorable Fountainstown beach rental

By Yay Cork March 19, 2025

It’s a tantalising notion.

With property prices climbing ever skywards, more of us than ever are curious about hopping off the property ladder and setting up home in an affordable tiny house on a little patch of land.

But if you’re worried that you have too much stuff to make the dream work, now you can give the tiny house life a go long before you make any big commitments.

Down in Fountainstown, you can rent a cosy tiny house on wheels with the beach on it’s doorstep, offering stunning ocean views and accommodation for four people.

Perfect for couples or friends seeking a quiet getaway, this little gem is the perfect adults-only base from which to explore the Wild Atlantic Way or the Ancient East, kayak, and enjoy the surrounding nature.

You can swim and sauna at Fountainstown and there’s even a drop-in morning yoga class on the beach.

Built by the owner and Airbnb host, Jonathan, who runs the farm on the property, there’s a main bedroom, bathroom and shared kitchen with a covered decking entrance downstairs, while upstairs consists of a loft area where the second bedroom is located.

The living room boasts a flatscreen TV for cosy movie nights.

The best bit? You don’t even need a car to get here. The direct 220 bus from Cork City Centre makes this spot ideal for a nature escape.

You can book a night at the Tiny Home Fountainstown from €131 per night here.
