Waterside, King size Bed, Eateries/Pub 3 min walk
Absolutely loved the house. Everything was spotless and the house is amazing and so comfortable. The location was beautiful

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.

Cosy cottage close to the sea and village.
This house is a gem in the An Spiedal area. The house is super private and in a great location, pretty right on the water with view of Water and Aran islands from the kitchen. I had coffee just staring at the sights every morning. You can walk around there property or take a short walk to the beach front. This is the perfect place for a quiet getaway. The town has just enough stores and restaurants to get by and if needed, Galway is maybe 25 mins away. The hosts communicated well and gave clear instructions, read them all, will be useful on your stay. Whatever you need will be in the instructions they provide. Overall a great place to stay and relax. This was the third Airbnb we stayed in Ireland and by far the best in terms of location and scenery. Do visit Galway and also drive to Kylemore Abbey when you are here, both will not disappoint.

Blue Flag Cottage Fintra Bay
House was great clean tidy with short pad on to beach which was top class for young children would go back

The Sea Horse Snug
The place was fabulous, views from the veranda were breathtaking. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. Would recommend this to any visitors and you would not be disappointed. We will be back. Thank you.

Red Island House, on the shore of Lough Mask
A fantastic location with views in every direction, each very special and therefore never boring. A good starting point for several (hiking) tours. Get tips on this, too. Sun (if you shine) from morning to evening at or in the house. We have already decided after a few days that we want to come back next year. To relax and unwind one of the best accommodations I know. And don't worry about the driveway, is really absolutely doable and does not require a special car or a special driver.

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!

Greenfort Cottage
The cottage actually looked even better in real life than the photos. It is charming, rustic, homely and comfortable. It is a real home from home. Towels were provided. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen well stocked and Margaret left us home made treacle bread and Irish butter the first evening. Tea, coffee, milk and sugar was all available which was really welcoming. Margaret recommended the local pub/restaurant (the Beach Bar) which was excellent. The food in the restaurant was very tasty and great value. The ambiance was perfect and the staff friendly. The electricity in the cottage was paid by using £2 euro coins in the meter and it was reasonably good value. There is a private pathway down to the nearby beach which is a nice walk. The cows in the field next to the cottage are beautiful. We had a brilliant stay and we cannot cannot recommend Margaret and the cottage more highly.

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.

Sea Stay Galway - Polaris Popcorn, the Pink Boat
I sent my parents here for their anniversary. They absolutely loved it and recommended coming back.

Enniscrone Lighthouse Penthouse
What a fantastic spot. We were 4 golfers and we each had a lovely bedroom with comfortable beds. We could see the golf course from the apartment. All Pubs and restaurants could be waked to and the beach was across the road. Fantastic place and we will be back.

Seaforth, relax by the sea and take in the view.
3rd year in a row we've stayed. It really is an unbeatable place with great views, so close to the beach and everything is in walking distance. If you do want to adventure then there are many attractions within 50km. The house is immaculate with amazing carpets to walk on that makes it so cosy to stay in.

Wild Atlantic Mayo Coastal Retreat
Spacious home perfect for larger groups, with plenty of rooms and great socializing areas. The location offers stunning views and is very convenient. Heating and showers take some getting used to, but it’s not a major issue. Highly recommend the place, location, and host—excellent value!

Blacksod Beach House, Belmullet Peninsula, Co Mayo
Such an amazing location and a beautiful, cosy, pristine and comfortable house with stunning views. We (3 adults and 1 dog) Really enjoyed our refreshing walks on the beach with memorable sunrise & sunset views followed by cosy nights in by the roaring fires! Mary was great to deal with and super friendly. House had everything you could need and more. Cannot wait to return!

Atlantic Retreat Luxury Apartment 2 - Burren views
We really enjoyed our stay at this Airbnb. The location was beautiful, it was incredibly spacious! It was spotlessly clean and the host was very helpful, and really took time to think of all the little details to make the stay comfortable. I would just say to be aware that others are renting the main house below you. You have your own door to lock so it’s not uncomfortable, but you do enter the same front door as them. And if you want to use the laundry you need to walk around back and enter the house from the back ; so it is possible that the other family is outside or can see you from the dining area. It didn’t bother us , but the other family staying there wasn’t aware we would be there, so just thought it worth mentioning. But we loved the stay!

Overlooking Enniscrone Beach and Atlantic Ocean
Cosy paradise with breathtaking views I could write an essay on how much I loved my stay here. While the house is absolutely stunning, beautifully decorated and really spacious, the star of the show is the view - WOW. Sitting on the big comfy chair with a good book and a glass of Prosecco is what dreams are made of. So breathtaking. The house is directly across the road from the beautiful 5km beach and a few mins walk from kids activities and shops and restaurants. The bedroom on the top floor is likely the one you will all be fighting for. En-suite, stunning view and even has its own little dressing room. I couldn’t recommend this place more. We loved it so much we extended our trip by 2 nights. As lovely as the pictures are - they absolutely do not capture how fabulous this house is and how spectacular the views are.

Lissadell on The Sea
Wonderful house, beautifully presented, in a stunning location, and so homely. Many thanks to Helen.

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.

Award Winning Designed Home with Ocean views
We loved this house, a superb family destination, our 4 kids loved the up stairs play area. The down stairs was wonderfully set up for family meal times. The location is excellent, the kids got a few days of surf school and we saw a good bit of Sligo and got some great tips on what to do from the hosts.

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.

Breakers Beach House, Ladies Beach, Ballybunion.
What a great stay at a beautifully well appointed home. Plenty of space and lots nice touches to make you feel welcome. Siobhan was awesome and so friendly. Her communication was quick and timely. Highly recommend this place to stay.
