6, Flagship Harbour
We really enjoyed and loved the space was very clean and comfortable well done

The Studio On The Square
The Studio was an amazing place to stay during my weeklong visit to Clifden. Everything you could possibly need is within walking distance of this stay. The nearby greenway was also a fabulous perk to the adorable town and shops. The Studio was I. The middle of everything but also quiet and peaceful. The view out the back was delightful and the kitchen was well equipped.

Seaview apartment in Louisburgh
Margaret was very welcoming and easy to communicate with. Fresh eggs, teabags and condiments were a nice touch. The location was few minutes cycle from beaches and fishing, it was a relaxing chilled out stay and we loved when Toby the dog visited. Beautiful views of the islands from the window. Thanks

Johnston House: Historic Village Retreat
Johnstons is great! Kinvarra is such a charming town and this place is a great spot for exploring it. Lily and Richard were very easy to chat with, and had lots of great local recommendations. The apartment is huge and filled with art and posters reflecting the history of the building. It also has easily one of the best stocked kitchens I’ve ever seen in an Airbnb. And of course Aunt Agnes.

Spectacular apartment in Clifden, Connemara
Absolutely a stunning place! Beautiful and peaceful scenery. The space was very comfortable with a ton of amenities and very well thought out spaces for the travelers.

The Amazing Panoramic Penthouse- Free Parking-
I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this flat, it was even better than the photos! Martin was incredibly accommodating and communicative. I planned my proposal on the balcony overlooking the sea, harbour, and bits of town. Martin very kindly insured that there was a bottle of Bollinger in the fridge for us to celebrate with. It's perfectly located for excursions into town. We will be coming back. Thank you so much for having us!

Luxury Galway City Penthouse
The place was fantastic and exactly what my wife and I needed after driving through the country side for a few days. It’s in a perfect location to walk to the city center and Quay Street for food and drinks. The balcony was perfect for watching the ships come and go and for a little bit of a view when winding down. Would recommend to anyone needing a comfy place to stay a few days in Galway.

Sunny Boutique Apartment
Roxy was a fanatsic host and the apartment was in the perfect location to explore Connemara or just chill in beautiful Clifden. Would definitely recommend a stay!
Waterfront house rentals

Luxury house with panoramic views in Connemara
A beautiful home away from home in a stunning location. The house is well appointed and very comfortable. Mark made our check in very straight forward and we felt at home straight away. We loved walking to the beach to enjoy a morning cup of coffee and take in the view. Letterfrack is only a few minutes away and has two lovely restaurants and an excellent general shop. I would highly recommend and would love to stay again.

Amazing 3 bedroom house in City
Beautiful and comfy place with a lovely backyard. Maria was very helpful with her recommendations for restaurants and Galway market. Really short walk to groceries, and about a 30 minute walk to downtown.

The Old Bakery
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.

Spiddal, near Galway. On the Wild Atlantic Way.
We absolutely loved being able to call this place home during our visit to Ireland. Sheila and Redmond were very responsive and friendly in making sure we had everything we needed and more. The location was beautiful and conveniently walkable to the pier, shops and pubs. Our girls especially loved the little playroom - perfect for our family trip!! We’ll definitely be back!

1843 restored stone cottage beside Galway Bay
Helen's place is wonderful. It has that feeling of home as soon as you walk in. You can tell that she thought about what guests might need during their stay and made sure that it was there. From perfect, quick communication to the fruit on the kitchen table. The setting is private and relaxing. I would highly recommend and would stay again.

Cong Holiday Let
We had a lovely stay beautiful setting by the river .The house was warm and cosy on arrival . Hugh was there to meet us with instructions on heating and Anne had left us beautiful homemade brown bread which went down very well with a cuppa after our long journey . It’s only a couple of minutes walking distance from the picturesque Cong village

19th century restored Irish stable by the lake
We had a short stay in the very beautiful accommodation offered by Aidan and Ciara. The accommodation is well placed to discover the surroundings and we feel that Aidan and Ciara do everything to make your stay go smoothly. Thanks to them!

TÍ Stanley | Oughterard | Lakeside Oasis on Corrib
Very clear directions and accurate descriptions. Enjoyed drinking my coffee with the nice view, weather was great and kids loved playing in the water. Would definitely go again

Quay-side luxury sea-view apartment, Kinvara
Fiona was very responsive. Her place was so beautiful and felt very homey. I loved the location. Looking out over the ocean was incredible. It was also an easy walk into town. Kinvara is enchanting. You’d be lucky to stay here.

Seaview modern apartment
had a really good time. salthill is right on the see so beautiful views and the view from the living room in the apartment is spectacular. lots of local pubs dotted around. the apartment was brilliant. 2 good sized bedrooms, one of them en suite. kitchen is a decent size and had everything you need to cook up some food. sitting room was lovely with two big recliner sofas and beautiful vistas. walkable into the city centre if you're a decent walker, it's about 2km and perfectly flat. if you're not or you're with someone who isn't a walker there is a bus just round the corner that takes about 5 mins and is fairly regular. car parking around the area is free but very busy so having a dedicated parking space was great.

Cosy 2 Bedroom Apartment in Galway City Centre
Location, location, location! The space is a bit out dated but it was perfect for four adults in the heart of Galway. Fruit, milk, and juice on arrival was a lovely touch. Excellent communication, comfy beds, coffee, and great travel tips helped make our stay so nice.

Exclusive Luxury Seafront 2 Bedroom Apartment
We absolutely loved this spot for our time in Galway. Easy parking (if the building lot is full you can park for free across the street) and a playground right across the street. Super family friendly place and had all we needed. The fridge is smaller but was sufficient for our 4 night stay. If you would be doing lots of cooking at home, it might be a little cramped. We mostly drove into the city, but you could easily walk it as well. Absolutely can recommend this spot!

GG’s Lakeside Retreat
Great stay in this accommodation! Everything was perfect: clean, well-organized, and very comfortable. The location is great, and the host was very responsive and welcoming. I really had an amazing time, I highly recommend it

Bayview Penthouse in Salthill
we had a to leave a day early but would have loved to have finished my stay. it was so relaxing

Luxury relaxation with sunroom & private apartment
We had a great time in the apartment. Loretto and her son Adrian have been amazing hosts. The Apartment is clean and it had all we needed. The distance to Athlone is just 5-10 minutes. Our dog loved the big garden we had for us.

Harbour View
Great location on the docks, near the latin quarter. There is loads to do nearby which is walkable.
