Holiday rentals with a kayak in County Dublin

We had a lovely stay with Orlando and his family. They were very warm and welcoming, and truly made us feel at home. The room was cozy and spacious enough for a couple with a child. The place is clean, well-maintained, and we appreciated having access to the kitchen—it was super helpful for cooking meals for our baby and ourselves. If you’re planning to stay for 3 days or more, I’d recommend bringing some groceries along. Thanks again to Orlando and family for the wonderful hospitality!

We totally loved our time at the Boat House. We would highly recommend if you want a laid back location with great views, amazing beaches and wonderful walks with your dogs. The House is welcoming with a wonderful funky vibe.

Rossnaree House is not a modern fru fru boutique hotel, but rather a delightful glimpse into the Ireland of long ago, a disappearing Ireland. All of the furnishings and decorations have family meaning, going back generations. Juxtaposed with that are the bathrooms, which have been tastefully modernized…the result is a lovely mixture of the old and the new. This house simply reeks of history and authenticity. The views from the rooms and the gardens are stunning…this area is the heartbeat of Mystical Ireland and if you allow you can and will be transported to another time, another realm. There are walkways down to the River Boyne and the ancient burial mound of Newgrange is close by. Simply stated this is as real and as authentic as it gets. Come with an open mind…but do come, fantastic…oh, and there are peacocks!

Shay's Place is an excellent choice if you are in the Malahide area, just around the corner from Malahide Castle and endless beautiful walks. It is easy to get to the town center and the beach. We enjoyed our stay. Shay was helpful and always responsive. Don't hesitate to stay here.

This was not a typical rental for us as we selected the place to be close to family that we visit each summer, without having to burden them as hosts in their own homes. We know the area well enough to know that there are not many rentals at the quality of this and very few in Howth at all! It truly was “home away from home” and could not have been nicer! The modern renovation done on the main floor is spectacular all the while keeping the charm of what is a very charming traditional Dublin house. The open plan in the kitchen and back garden was heavenly and the easy walk to a private beach is a huge bonus. We caught the bus and DART into town easily (a 5 and 12 minute walk respectively) and the grocery store —5 min away by car- has everything you could possibly need. Another fun bonus was the vegetable garden! I just wish I was coming back when the tomatoes were in season. Rest assured this place is as perfect as it shows online and we hope to come back someday.

Thank you both so much for a lovely stay & for all your help! We thoroughly enjoyed all the extra touches like the beach toys for the kids, gutted we never got time to make use of the kayaks! Rush beach is a gorgeous place, we will miss our evening walks along it. This spot is ideal for a couple of days to journey into the city centre & back - rail journey is so cheap & Rush station was cheap & easy to park at (early morning). Big Tesco a few minutes drive away. This place is a gem :)
