Wild Atlantic Cottage - Connemara Seaview Idyllic setting, amazing views
We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage very comfortable, clean, warm and well presented and communication was excellent.

Beautiful Stone Cottage - sleeps 6/7 beside beach
Location was out of this world. We were very lucky with the weather too. It was one to remember.

Murrevagh Mealóg
it is a lovely self contained unit on the edge of town. Perfect. Easy access to bars and restaurants and right beside a lovely beach. Very clean and tidy. Perfect.

Cliffs of Moher View
The accommodation is clean, spacious, bright and well-equipped, a separate building. It has a perfect sense of privacy and silence. Parking is inside the property, almost under the living room window. It was a pleasant surprise that the third person also got a full-size bed (in the description it was a pull-out sofa). The host was helpful and friendly, he was waiting for us upon arrival. We arrived at low tide, it was a special experience to walk on the sand of the sea and the rocks that had become dry. The stairs leading there are a 2-minute walk. All three of us were happy that we chose this accommodation. Thank you!

Seaside Cottage Retreat in Errislannan, Clifden
Charming cozy cottage in a beautiful location. Very welcoming and comfortable and Lucia was very helpful

Burren beach house, Wild Atlantic Way Ballyvaughan
Our family of 5 plus a baby had a wonderful time ! The beach access , large house with room for everyone to have space - the large kitchen and patio area - we enjoyed being together watching amazing sunsets and playing games. Tom and Patricia were so helpful and friendly. Wonderful stay !

Beautiful seaview 2 bed apartment in Salthill.
With our two small children (2.5 and 4 years old) we spent a longer stay in Mary's flat and would have loved to stay even longer! The location of the flat is perfect and offers an incredible amount within walking distance: the sea, many restaurants, pubs and shops are just around the corner. The view of the sea from the living room is fantastic... Check in and communication were also smooth and Mary responded to questions immediately. We will have fond memories of our time in Salthill...

Helen's Hideaway
Had a wonderful time staying at Helen’s place, cannot say enough good things about it! It’s a lovely, well equipped, and very private two bedroom condo, with an incredible view over the water. It’s right off the center of Clifden, and an easy walk to everything the town has to offer. And it’s easy to drive off to all of the places you’ll want to visit in Connemara, if you can tear yourself away. Helen was very responsive and super friendly, even to the point of standing outside to flag me down as I walked by! And with them living just above (although you hear nothing!), you feel there’s help nearby should you need it. The description was spot on, and Helen was very clear about the condo being down a long flight of stairs from the street. We recommend Helen’s Airbnb very highly, and hope to stay there again soon!

Ocean Sunset Villa.
Lovely place to stay in . Right at the ocean with great views from the house. Close to all attractions we wanted to visit . Lovely pub just 2km away. Sheila was nice and welcoming, place had all it needed to have even hair dryer. Mattresses were little soft however we slept very good . There are black out blinds in every room. Very quiet place and the views are just magnificent. Definitely will be staying here again.

The Blackrock Retreat- Salthill - free parking
Michelle's place is great and in the middle of Salthill so no car needed for all the activities the area has to offer. The communication was friendly and helpful. The flat was clean and cozy, highly recommend!

Ultra-comfortable Connemara House / Sea Views
Tres bon sejour. Logement conforme et confortable. Au calme et Tres bien équipé. Vue magnifique depuis la maison. Tres tres belle région. Avons bien randonné. Que de beaux paysages !! Entre mer et montagne, lacs et moutons 😉. Parfait !

Atlantic Whisper
This stay was absolutely amazing! The place was not only beautiful and spotless, but also incredibly cozy and thoughtfully decorated. Susan was a fantastic host! She went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I couldn’t recommend this place more and would love to come back someday. Thank you, Susan!

Water's Edge - Loop Head Holiday Homes
Such a gem! Had an amazing stay here with my family and the house exceeding expectations. It is spacious and the outdoor space was perfect for littles. Right across from the water and breathtaking views. A scenic walk to Keating’s bar/restaurant and playground across from it. Eugene was a great host as well. Highly recommend this home if looking to stay in the area.

Stylish home next to the Ocean with Jacuzzi Bath
We had a lovely visit here. It was the end of a long trip, so the living room was especially nice to relax as a family. I recommend that you pay close attention to the directions about the water. There are some nuances that you need to heed. It’s all spelled out clearly. My true review is of the property manager, Joanne. She is an angel on earth. We had a luggage issue and she went above and beyond to help us. So caring and conscientious about her work!! We can’t say enough nice things about her!

The Bay Coach House, private sea access, sleeps 6
Lorraine is such a gracious host and lovely person, who will make your stay an enjoyable experience. This place exceeded our expectations in every way. We would absolutely stay here again and again! Andrew & Jill.

Ocean View Farm House
I dont have enough good to say about this house. My family wanted to get a feel for "authentic" Ireland and we got it aplenty. Everything from narrow, beautiful roads to visiting with the cows next door. Loved every moment.

Sruthán Pier House
Barbara was a great host. The house was perfect come rain or shine. The Spar shop in Carraroe is only 5 minutes away and was as good as any medium sized supermarket with great choice. Don’t miss the Realt pub if you want a good pint of Guinness

Berrylodge Country House Spanish Point Clare
Fantastic Airbnb, beautiful space and excellent location with short walk to the beach. David was a great host and went the extra mile to ensure we had an amazing stay. Can not recommend this Airbnb highly enough, thank you David!

The Herons Rest Townhouse 16 - Sea views
Well, what can I say that hasn’t been said by other guests - this is an outstanding rental and Sorcha was a terrific host. The accommodation was exactly as described and super clean. The welcome hamper of food was outstanding- local produce of the highest quality… just loved the granola especially! Everything is walkable from Sorcha’s place whether you’re heading to the pubs, to Eyre Square or in the opposite direction to Salthill; it’s all on your doorstep. The views from the house were fantastic- we watched the Galway hookers set sail and return, so elegant! All in all we’d a super stay and Sorcha was brilliant about communicating & checking that all was okay - so thoughtful. Oh yes, and the little guide she provides is great; we enjoyed some of the food recommendations (book where possible as Galway is super popular!). Great city, great accommodation, great stay.

Galway, rent/buy
This is a great cozy place, decorated like a classic home of the mid 20th century, with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. It even has a fireplace! It’s in Athenry, with a train station accessible directly from Limerick or Dublin. It’s a 20 min ride to Galway centre. Ray is a nice guy who showed us around when we arrived. We really recommend it

Rockfield Cottage
Loved staying at Fauve’s place, the cottage near Kinvara. Housed my wife and I, our two kids, and my parents. On a secluded coastal/marsh drive off Galway Bay, it’s peaceful and quiet. The house is just as beautiful as the photos. Fauve knows how to decorate - it’s like a showroom inside. Comfy beds, quiet surroundings, huge yard space for the kids to play. The Travellers Inn is just down the street to grab a pint! Don’t hesitate booking this place, it was awesome.

Dolphin Beach Lodge
House is beautiful and very comfortable! All the amenities we need and super clean. The view and surrounding scenery are amazing. We walked 3 1/2 miles to town on Sky road each morning and saw donkeys, Connemara ponies, jack rabbits and pheasants. Wonderful restaurants in town. Great hike up Diamond Hill in nearby National Park and swam in ocean at beautiful Dog’s beach. Amazing place for a relaxing and fun vacation!

Collanmore Island Lodge, Westport, sleeps 22.
Collanmore Island Lodge is unreal, couldn't recommend it more! We had the best stag weekend ever here and Ciaran is a absolute gent. Getting to the island is easy and exciting, beds are comfy and facilities are top notch. Ideal for big family gatherings or any type of West of Ireland getaway. I will be back again for sure, thank you Ciaran and your great team.

Westwinds great location near to city & by the sea
Super hôte avec d’excellent conseils pour visiter et un petit déjeuner au top! Très bien situé proche du centre ville et face à la mer SUPER!
