Kid-friendly holiday rentals in South Dublin

Superb old Manor feel both the house and grounds. Quite, restful stay. Hosts super helpful and friendly. Great location off main M4 and few mins walk from lucan village.

The place was very quiet. Mary was a great host. Room is not so big, but it was enough for us. bathroom was cold, but shower was very good

In a fairly average street, James’s place opens up into a beautifully renovated & extended open plan studio set in a private back garden. Small but bright & modern with all the mod cons we needed. We were attending a music festival in Kilmainham so were able to walk there & back. We only stayed one night but would definitely book again on another trip to Dublin. James was quick to respond to our messages & all instructions were easy to follow. Would recommend this place to others.

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

Nice, quiet neighborhood in Dublin, though turning onto the street can be a challenge for two-way traffic due to a line of rentable bicycles. Roomy, clean and very homelike. Living room was cozy for watching TV and relaxing. Lots of closet space. People we met in the neighborhood were very friendly. Accessible to areas of Dublin we wanted to see.

We’ve never experienced such a warm welcome and personal connection at an Airbnb as we did with Gareth! He’s a fantastic host – open, helpful, and full of great tips about the area. The place was spotless, very cozy, and had everything we needed. We immediately felt at home and truly welcomed. Absolutely recommended – we’d come back anytime!

Aoife was a great host providing clear instructions for everything. The home was comfortable, although a bit tight for our bigger party (6 adults and 2 young children). Well stocked and in a nice location.

Everything was fine, the place is cozy and nice, lots of bus stops in the area. William was very kind and friendly, replied all the time and was very helpful. A great experience overall, I recommend it!😁

The stay was fantastic and quiet, Alex was a very good host with us, always answering any questions we might have at the time, everything together was great

Alan's place was perfect for my son's (21) and my first trip to Dublin. Alan greeted us when we arrived and helped us get acquainted with the home and loaned us adapters, umbrellas, and Leap cards for the bus system. Rathgar was a beautiful neighborhood! Quiet for sleeping and safe for night walks after dinner, with restaurants and grocery store just minutes from the home. I also discovered it is only a 9 minute walk from the birth home of James Joyce. The set up of the 2 bedrooms gave my son and I plenty of space away from each other, as we had different activity schedules. I was there to celebrate Ulysses on Bloomsday and my son enjoyed the energy of the Temple Bar scene. Getting to Central Dublin was a breeze with the bus stops a short walk away. I highly recommend Alan's place!

Helen’s place was perfect for our family of five, with three kids ages 5, 9, and 12! It was in a great location across from Christchurch Cathedral and a nice walk from all the sites we visited, including Temple Bar, Trinity College, Grafton Street, the Guinness Storehouse, EPIC Museum/Jeanie Johnston, etc. The place was perfectly laid out for our family with its two bedrooms and good-sized living space and dining room table. In addition to the space and location being great, Helen was so lovely, helpful, and easy to work with! Half way through our stay our youngest broke something in the apartment and Helen was so sweet and understanding about it! :) I highly recommend booking Helen’s place!

The place was great! Close to local bars and a great park. Taxis were easy to get to city center! The shopping center was also convenient to get to. Lastly go to Ian’s Kitchen.

Mark was a responsive and flexible host. He provided information prior to arrival, on how to access property, on public transport, and with recommendations on places to eat & drink. The photos didn’t do the property justice. It was well decorated, cosy but spacious, clean, and comfortable. The location is in a quiet residential area away from the hustle and bustle, it is a short walk to the bus / tram stops for the city. I would definitely recommend this property, and will visit again.

We really liked our stay! The location was great, you can walk everywhere, have many bars/restaurants/Cafés around, but it’s still not very loud. It’s still a bigger city so you should expect some noise, but it’s really not bad and windows isolate good enough. It was very clean and the sofa was not super comfortable but doable for a couple of days. Loved the bedding. We can def recommend this apartment for a short city stay :-)) communication with Noel was fast and easy as well. Cheers!

Super friendly and easy to talk with

Steve is a rock star of Airbnb hosts. He is proactive, warm, provides a wealth of worthwhile recs, and greets you upon arrival and reviews everything about the house and area. Wow. He was accommodating with our schedule, which we really appreciated. He left some snacks and the house was stocked with essentials. When I emailed, he responded ASAP. Amazing. The apartment is sweet and has a charm. Highlight was the patio as we were blessed with beautiful weather. Loved the sauna! The apartment building itself is worn as is the staircase in the building and the stairwell. Feels like typical city living, but the area is great and easily walkable to most things. Furthest walk was the jail at 30 min but otherwise most things about 15, and Guiness Storehouse is around the corner. Grocer, great bakeries and coffee shops right out the door. All in all, an excellent stay.

great airbnb for a quiet stay outside of Dublin center!

We had a great stay at Dee's place. It is cute and cozy and felt like an authentic Irish kind of place. The area is quiet and walkable to downtown Dublin. Dee was helpful when we had questions and resolved them immediately.

We stayed at Diarmuid’s place for three days while in Dublin. We found it exceptionally clean and comfy. The location was in a quiet neighborhood, with the exception of football games in the field next door, those Irish children can sure cheer, lol. It was about 4 klms to Temple Square/Downtown, we walked it the first day, and some of it other days. You can take # 13 bus right outside the apartment, which brings you right downtown, take that one back as well.

It was amazing. The location is perfect.

Great place in Dublin within walking distance to some nice local places to eat and drink and a nice walk into the city centre also. very friendly and helpful. would stay again

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!

Claire’s place was great! It’s close to many Dublin attractions was quiet and comfortable each night. Claire was very responsive and helpful throughout the check-in and checkout process. We had issues with getting online after landing in Ireland, and she was very quick to reply and help us get checked in.

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.
