I manage my brother's (he's in the US) apt just off Baggot St. Airbnb are great. It does take a lot of work but the more effort you put in the greater the return. We have a little welcome pack for new guests. This includes a map of Dublin with all the main tourist spots highlighted. We also leave a bottle of red wine. We are now getting bookings from friends and relations of previous guests. The apt is booked solid up to late Oct. I have also used airbnb all over the world from NZ to Canada and have found them great.
Kinsale is a beautiful area with great restaurants and golf etc. I'd plough ahead if I were ye. Good luck with it. P |

Renting a room in your own home carries a tax free income of €14,000 per annum after that any income generated carries a tax liability |

In the same situation as yourself at the minute. Converting a house at the minute for the sole purpose of Airbnb. I have used Airbnb myself as a guest rather than a landlord and found the experience a lot more warming and welcoming rather than standard bnbs or hotels. I guess it must just be the fact that it's somebody's home you're in which adds something extra.
My main decision for aiming mt house towards Airbnb was due to the flexibility of being able to free up times for the house when I may need it. Occupying the house long term effectively rules the house out for my own use which i wasn't keen on.
There's an opportunity to make a lot more money through Airbnb rather than standard letting. Just need to be careful not to cross the tax bracket 
It's a fantastic way to meet so many different people too and really opens your eyes to other cultures. All you really need are the basics for breakfast and toiletries to keep people happy. Nobody expects a breakfast cooked for them or anything so I wouldn't stress on providing a major service like that..
Hope that helps |

"Put in a hot tub and make it a sex pad and charge a premium rate as a swingers get away. A shag pad with all the amenities. "
Have the hot tub & bar which are included as part of the room rental |
