Waterfront holiday rentals in Galway

I booked this place when travelling for Work. I wished I’d had more time! Absolutely beautiful location, great little village with good coffee, a sauna and lots of activities to get involved with. I saw a heron, cormorants, swifts and more whilst staying here. Definitely recommend taking a book out to the decking for a nice relaxing read. The view from the master bedroom is beautiful. Would book again!

La météo était mauvaise, et notre hôte nous a avertit que le logement était libre une heure plus tôt. Un grand merci à lui pour ce suivi et l'accueil. Le studio est paisible, très proche des restaurants et commerces. Le bourg de Clifden est à proximité (30 mn de voiture) de nombreuses attractivités touristiques. La découverte du Connemara en séjournant à Clifden a été très agréable.

Wir haben das erste Mal Irland (4-köpfige Familie) besucht und uns bewusst für eine ländlich liegende Unterkunft entschieden. Die Lage war traumhaft und besonders die naheliegenden Strände haben uns begeistert. Auch die Aussicht auf die umliegenden Berge war wunderschön. Das Haus war geräumig und bot alles was wir brauchten. Es war ein guter Ausgangspunkt für unsere Unternehmungen mit dem Auto. Wir haben als Familie eine schöne gemeinsame Zeit verbracht und danken Margaret und ihrem Mann sehr für ihre Gastfreundschaft.

Really great spot - an easy walk to the Latin Quarter, the Westend, and the boarding location for ferries to the Aran Islands. The apartment is beautiful- clean, stylishly decorated, with great views of the water. Getting in involves a bit of a scavenger hunt and a series of codes, but Martin sent excellent instructions that made it easy. Highly recommend!

On a passé un super séjour en famille pendant 3 nuits. L’arrivée était simple grâce à la boîte à clés, et même si on n’a pas rencontré Elizabeth et Brian, ils ont été très réactifs et sympas par message. Le logement était confortable, bien équipé, et la vue… juste magnifique ! On a vraiment apprécié. Merci encore

We loved our stay in Galway! The apartment had unbelievable views and within walking distance to many pubs and restaurants. Highly recommended!

Irish hospitality at its best. Our hosts were lovely, bringing us freshly laid eggs most days and usually around at the end of the day for a friendly chat. The location was great, we loved our evening strolls along the beach. We hope to return someday.

Liebe Mary, lieber Michael, unser Aufenthalt war von vorne bis hinten einfach nur wunderbar. Das Air BnB war für uns viel mehr als eine Unterkunft - von Tag 1 an wie ein zweites Zuhause. Danke für die reibungslose Kommunikation, eure herzliche Art und die blitzblanke tolle Wohnung! Wir kommen auf jeden Fall zurück 🇮🇪🫏🐑😍☺️!

We had a great stay. It was a perfect location that allowed us easy access to all of town. The upstairs bedroom was quite warm while we were there, but Galway was having warmer weather than is normal. There was plenty of room for our family of 5 plus a cot for our infant.

We loved staying in The Bakery. The Photos don’t do it justice. Spacious and pristine. Maeve was very quick to respond to any queries we had. She had also left Lindor chocolates, biscuits and fresh flowers for us which was just lovely. Roundstone is so picturesque, with a couple of lovely pubs and the walk on the nearby beaches on Christmas Day morning was just stunning. Would highly recommend staying here.

The Roundhouse is amazing, almost certainly the best Airbnb we have stayed in. The location is incredible for a peaceful get away, with beautiful surroundings. There is a jetty with ocean access for kayaking (to a seal colony!) right on the doorstep. The house is finished to an exceptional standard. There is plenty of space and the amenities are very high end. The bedrooms were extremely comfortable, and the kitchen had everything you could need and more. Bernie and Val were perfect hosts, making us feel welcome and going above and beyond throughout to make our stay special. If I could praise it more, I would! We hope to be back.

The views from the house and the peaceful location were everything that I was hoping for. You definitely need a car to get around, as indicated in the description, but the local shop and pub are within easy walking distance. The house was clean and tidy, and pleasantly warm as well. Comfy beds, well equipped kitchen with everything you could want. There were 4 adults in my party and we each got a room to ourselves, but you could easily fit twice as many people and the house wouldn't feel crowded. Stunning area with plenty of wonderful hikes and things to see within 15-45 mins away. Loved it!

I can't recommend Redmond and Sheila's place enough. It sits on the edge of the beautiful Galway Bay, and the daily view of the water, the quiet setting, and the delightful town of Spiddal is just a five-minute walk away. It feels like a welcoming family home with the intimacy and graciousness of a place well-loved and respected by its owners. A fully stocked kitchen, cozy setting, and furnishings, and comprehensive area recommendations from Redmond made this property so welcoming that we wanted to stay forever. Redmond was very responsive with all of our questions, and we felt like we were honored family friends coming to stay. It was one of our favorite Airbnb's of all time, and we would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful setting and an incredibly comfortable home. We would love to come again and stay longer. The view of the mountains, water, horses grazing, the sky and sea are just amazing. We got to see the place in sun, rain, and winds and loved every second of it. The living room and kitchen eat in area are comfortable. The place is light and airy. The beds were comfortable and the area is so very quiet and peaceful. We really loved the place and the host, Ita, was very kind and accommodating.

Our stay was absolutely lovely. The location is remote, yet within 15 minutes of a village with great pubs. The cottage was exactly as described and the views on the walk suggested to us were breathtaking. If you are looking for a peaceful place with excellent hosts, you should book this immediately!

Had a fantastic stay in Sinead's place. A home from home in the centre of everything with beautiful sea views. Sinead is a great host. Looking forward to our next visit!

Lovely place a few minutes walk to a handful of great pubs and restaurants. Apartment was clean and well stocked with extra towels, etc. Great communication from Fiona prior to our stay which included lots of useful suggestions on things to do and places to see in the area.

This was a beautiful apartment in the country to relax. We actually did a lot of sightseeing in the area. Very comfy bed and two toilets! Our host was gracious and thoughtful.

Beautiful views, in ideal location. The accommodation itself was clean and has everything you need.

Excellent location. Nice unit with a view of the harbor. Clean, modern and pretty. Recommend!

We had a wonderful couple of days at Janet's apartment. very clean, private and perfectly situated in beautiful surroundings. Would highly recommend and we will be back sometime in the future.

Amazing stay!!! Private, on the water, amazing views, quiet, spacious, fantastic hosts oh I don't even know where to stop with all the positive! Walk to Ashford Castle which we did, and into the village of Cong, oh what a gem this house, nobody else around you yet so close to all. Thank you for a fantastic stay, I will be back!!!!

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...

Had such a great time in Anna & Christine’s lovely apartment. It’s perfectly located in such a beautiful village. They communicated promptly and clearly and their place had everything we needed. Highly recommend this cosy little spot (and the chowder in O’Dowds 😋).
