Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Rathmines, Dublin

Wow! I can't say enough about Susan's home in Dublin. The house was immaculate and much larger than I thought it would be based on the photos. Everything was beautiful, the decorations were unique and interesting, and the rooms were inviting and comfortable. The garden access from the house was so open and unique that I'm thinking about copying it on my home. Susan was incredibly responsive to all our questions and we would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Dublin. Thanks, Susan!

I couldn't be happier with my experience. The location was fantastic, just a convenient 45-minute walk from the city center, making it easy to explore and enjoy all the attractions. Additionally, the neighborhood itself was vibrant, with numerous restaurants and pubs less than 10 minute walk away, adding to the overall convenience. The house itself was spotless and offered plenty of space. The owner went above and beyond by providing thoughtful little extras that made our stay even more enjoyable. Owner was easy to get a hold of and very responsive to any questions we had. Check-in and check-out were a breeze, making the whole experience seamless and stress-free. I highly recommend this house for anyone looking for a clean, spacious, and well-located place to stay!

What a priviledge being able to stay in such a beautifu house filled with art. The room is a dream, you fall asleep to dancing trees, in an extremely comfortable bed. The room has plenty of space, beautiful view, the bathroom is quite marvellous aswell, the shower was great, and a Billy Holliday picture! couldnt ask for more but got it, cause Kitty was the perfect hostess, perfect balance between warm and wellcoming and chill and unintrusive. Would stay there again anytime in Dublin. Thanks Kitty, a wonderful stay

Excellent séjour dans la sympathique maison de Mary. La chambre est très confortable avec une agréable vue sur le jardin. Le quartier est joli et les liaisons en bus avec le centre ville fréquentes et faciles (20’) Mary est attentive à ses hôtes et toujours prête à rendre service. Nous conseillons !

Shumei was a great host, reached out beforehand to know when I was checking-in, and was there to welcome me and made me feel right at home. the room was cosy but great for the price, and she made sure the guests had everything they needed.

Thanks Fionn, I might be back. Great location and bed was very comfortable

This place is a gem of a find. Lovely house in a nice, quiet neighbourhood. Within easy reach of buses to and from Dublin centre. I used a scooter and made short work of getting into the city centre. I was made to feel welcome from the start and everything was easy to find and use. My room was perfect for what I wanted and was able to come and go as I pleased. I can thoroughly recommend this Air BnB. It felt more like visiting my sister than someone I didn't know.

Had a relaxed evening and good night, found everything I needed for a comfortable stay.

Spacious apartment in a cool old building near the heart of Dublin. Very lively neighbourhood; surrounded by tons of pubs, cafes, etc. Alex was a great host. Would definitely stay there again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. Sitting within an estate, amongst beautiful trees and manicured grounds, one feels truly special. The very large single room suite is tastefully decorated with bright windows, a complete kitchen and a comfortable bed. The owner was always available for questions and support and offered some wonderful suggestions for restaurants and things to see. We particularly enjoyed the view from Killiney Hill park just a short distance away. Staying outside central Dublin allowed us to escape and relax after a day touring around Dublin. A day trip to the Wicklow Mountains was also a highlight. All in all, a wonderful stay!

The apartment was comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. The neighborhood is pleasant to walk around in and felt safe. If you’re a good walker, then walking to or from the city center is fun and interesting, and if you’re tired or it’s raining a little too hard, there are plenty of buses. Also, there are multiple grocery stores right by the apartment. And a wide variety of restaurants — typical pub food, Chinese, Indian, etc. Rory was very quick to respond to any questions/needs. We would definitely choose this place if we were to return to Dublin.

Great experience staying at Alex’s. Right next to DART and easy commute into city. Accommodation as described. Would recommend 🙂

Very cute, comfortable, and clean space that was as advertised and met my expectations. Liam was a great host, he provided information about the unit and stores in the vicinity for supplies, provided bottled water in the fridge, and clear instructions and pictures for check in/out. Would recommend. Thanks Liam!

We felt very much at home at Niamh’s. It was a great location to explore the outskirts of Dublin! Definitely would recommend to anyone wanting to stay outside of the main city.

Peter was responsive to all our questions and a great host. Please bear in mind. This Airbnb is situated on the DART rail line. and you can hear the train pass each time north and south directions.. The Airbnb is essentially located, and as the Sunnymount train station is literally a woman at walk from the front door access to all parts of the coastline north and south of the city are readily available

Very clean, spacious and comfortable flat perfectly located for a (long) weekend in Dublin. Everything is as described in the listing. Danielle is a very helpful host who provided all the information we needed. The flat is a very short walk from one of Dublin's most lively streets for pubs and restaurants. It is an easy 15 min walk into the centre. Good connections to the airport (bus No 16 every 15 mins takes about an hour). Overall a great place to stay.

El alojamiento está muy bien, tiene todo lo que se necesita para la estadía. Está un poco alejado del centro, pero la parada del bus está muy cerca y en solo 20 minutos se está en dl centro

This was a great find, everything was spotless and exactly as described, instructions were clear and apartment had great amenities (for my family the stands out were the pack n play, coffee press, private parking spot, tv for the kids) and it was beautifully furnished and felt very comfortable. Location was also very convenient and walkable, great place!

Lovely place! Everything was as described. Plenty of space for our family of 4. Neighborhood felt quiet and very safe. I only wish it was closer to the city centre as driving was a bit nerve-wracking! John was a very responsive host who was accommodating. Would definitely recommend satyomg here!

Exactly as advertised. Amazing location. Andrew was very responsive

Fantastic host, lovely stay. Clean, quaint, nice location with a wonderful cafe on the same block. Easy walk to city center, easy transportation, safe, would HIGHLY recommend staying here again and would so so myself if back in Dublin.

I absolutely loved my stay in the den! I love the location because the little bit outside of the busy city, but also very easily walkable. The access to the bus stations are also super easy. There is a Michelin star guide restaurant right down the road a 15 minute walk from there that was incredible. And Sinead and Jane we’re super responsive and gave fantastic instructions. If I come back to Dublin, I would definitely stay there!

David's place was exactly as described. Great location in the Portobello neighbourhood and was easy to get into central Dublin. Also great transportation to other areas via the bus. David was very flexible when we had to change our booking from Sept 2024 to May 2025. He was extremely welcoming when we checked in (provided a bottle of wine!) and very responsive when we accidentally locked ourselves out on the last day of our stay!! We stayed for 6 nights and appreciated the kitchen amenities and the very comfortable bed :) We would highly recommend David's place if you are travelling to Dublin.

Beautiful home with fantastic views and easy access to walkable spaces. The lively (people and dogs walking and playing along the Strand) yet peaceful area is a welcome respite from the more population dense areas of Dublin. With a little advance planning you can easily walk to the DART, the beautiful restaurants and shops surrounding the green space nearby, or just stroll down the Strand and soak in the vibrant waterfront vibes. The host is friendly and offers so much helpful information prior to your arrival so you really can’t go wrong staying here. Bring earplugs for the road noise at night in the primary bedroom, but don’t let that deter you from this waterfront location.
