Holiday rentals with beach access in County Galway

Great little spot. Short walk to a lovely beach, so peaceful and pretty. We were going to a wedding at the Connemara Coast hotel and it was a great base to do some further exploring from. Friendly and helpful hosts!

Perfect place to stay in Galway for our family. Great location and all the amenities we needed.

Wir haben das erste Mal Irland (4-köpfige Familie) besucht und uns bewusst für eine ländlich liegende Unterkunft entschieden. Die Lage war traumhaft und besonders die naheliegenden Strände haben uns begeistert. Auch die Aussicht auf die umliegenden Berge war wunderschön. Das Haus war geräumig und bot alles was wir brauchten. Es war ein guter Ausgangspunkt für unsere Unternehmungen mit dem Auto. Wir haben als Familie eine schöne gemeinsame Zeit verbracht und danken Margaret und ihrem Mann sehr für ihre Gastfreundschaft.

This was the cutest apartment and very central to Galway. Walkable to all restaurants and bars and so charming. Michelle gave us great recommendations beforehand and was very communicative. Highly recommend!

Un logement simple et authentique, bien placé et dans un site remarquable près d’un lac et de la mer. Un accueil de qualité par une hôte sympa et très amicale. Un accueil avec des œufs et un cake maison. Très chouette !

Perfect location! Have family in the area and are very familiar with the it. Easy to walk anywhere if you did not want to take the car. Maire was so responsive and helpful - easy peasy! Flat was clean and stocked. Highly recommend!

Wir hatten eine erholsame und schöne Zeit bei Brid! Die Unterkunft war sehr gemütlich und super ruhig - genau das, was wir wollten! Tolle Aussicht dazu! Brid war außerdem sehr nett und hilfsbereit!

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!

Das Haus von Mark besticht durch seine einmalige Lage auf einer schmalen Zunge einer Halbinsel, weshalb es zu beiden Seiten nur wenige hundert Meter zu Fuss zu zwei Meerbuchten ist (eine davon mit einem "Privat-Strand/Wiese", welche direkt über einen eigenen Weg vom Gelände aus zu erreichen ist). Das Haus ist liebevoll eingerichtet und sehr geräumig. Durch die einmalige Lage hat man aus mehreren Zimmern direkten Meerblick (auf die ruhigen Austernbuchten) und auch aus den restlichen Zimmern meist einen Blick in die freie Natur (inkl. der nächtlichen Blicke in einen wundervollen Sternenhimmel) Alle Zimmer sind hell und gemütlich und die Ausstattung von Küche/Wirtschaftsraum und Bad sind sehr gut, lediglich das Warmwassersystem der unteren Räume ist etwas umständlich (mit Heizung kombiniert) was aber bei insgesamt 3 Bädern/Duschen kein Problem darstellt. Wir (inkl. Hund) hatten 8 wundervolle Tage und Nächte an einem sensationellen Ort und würden jederzeit wieder kommen!

Sehr schönes und modenes Haus. Es war sauber und liebevoll eingerichtet. Das Stadtzentrum von Galway ist schnell zu erreichen und trotzdem ist es sehr ruhig ums Haus.

Ein grosses Dankeschön an Piero für den Support.

Tom Jacks is in a stunning, peaceful, location with beautiful coastal views. We even spotted Dolphins, whilst eating breakfast outside! The decking area is spacious and comfortable outdoor furniture is provided,along with a BBQ. Inside, the house is very clean and quite spacious, with a log burner for cosy evenings. (Plenty of logs provided) The house is well situated for drives to the local beaches and surrounding area. Letterfrack has a good supermarket. We wouldn’t hesitate in returning in the future.

House is beautiful and very comfortable! All the amenities we need and super clean. The view and surrounding scenery are amazing. We walked 3 1/2 miles to town on Sky road each morning and saw donkeys, Connemara ponies, jack rabbits and pheasants. Wonderful restaurants in town. Great hike up Diamond Hill in nearby National Park and swam in ocean at beautiful Dog’s beach. Amazing place for a relaxing and fun vacation!

I can't recommend Redmond and Sheila's place enough. It sits on the edge of the beautiful Galway Bay, and the daily view of the water, the quiet setting, and the delightful town of Spiddal is just a five-minute walk away. It feels like a welcoming family home with the intimacy and graciousness of a place well-loved and respected by its owners. A fully stocked kitchen, cozy setting, and furnishings, and comprehensive area recommendations from Redmond made this property so welcoming that we wanted to stay forever. Redmond was very responsive with all of our questions, and we felt like we were honored family friends coming to stay. It was one of our favorite Airbnb's of all time, and we would definitely stay here again!

We booked this magnificent home for a portion of our family to attend a vow renewal in the area, and it was everything that we hoped for. With four bedrooms, two living rooms, a huge kitchen and eating space, and gorgeous grounds - the entire group was able to stay comfortably, and enjoy cooking and sharing meals together, without being on top of each other. The furnishings are also very well done. Anne and Maree were extremely helpful, and always available to answer questions. I can highly recommend this listing to others.

My friend and I had the most lovely stay with David and Cheryl. They made us feel very at home and cared for with their recommendations for what to do in the area and thoughtful conversations over delicious coffee + breakfast. The home was beautiful and very comfortable + cozy. We hope to be back!

Lovely place a few minutes walk to a handful of great pubs and restaurants. Apartment was clean and well stocked with extra towels, etc. Great communication from Fiona prior to our stay which included lots of useful suggestions on things to do and places to see in the area.

Great spot for me and my family to visit Galway. Quiet area with a great cafe just around the corner. Max was incredibly friendly and the book of suggestions and brochures was a nice touch. He even set up a high chair for our little one and offered a baby cot (we had one already with us). Thanks Max!

Spotless beautiful home was perfect for my family of 4. Allen brought fresh scones that were absolutely delicious. Would definitely recommend to other families.

D’fhan mé féin, mo chol ceathrar agus a bheirt mhac óg i dteach Gail agus Antoine i nGarmna, i gceartlár na n-oileán i gConamara. Bhí fáilte chroíúil romhainn ón gcéad lá, ní hamháin ó Gail agus Antoine ach óna gcomharsana freisin. Bhí an teach an-ghlan, compordach agus feistithe go hálainn. Bhí na seomraí codlata ar chaighdeán ard agus bhí an áit an-áisiúil don iascach, ár gcúis le teacht. Bhí Antoine thar a bheith flaithiúil lena chuid ama agus comhairle. Thaitin an bord púil go mór linn tráthnóna. Bhí an t-atmaisféar suaimhneach agus fáiltiúil i gcónaí. Molaim go hard d’aon duine ar mhaith leis eispéireas fíor-Ghaelach i gConamara álainn. Beidh muid ar ais gan dabht!

One of the best places so far. FABULOUS!!! Strongly recommended!!!

I was looking for a quiet and yet beautiful spot to relax . Matthew's place was above and beyond my expectations. I was arriving on my own in Spiddal for the first time and a bit worried about finding the apartment and getting in. Matthew gave me detailed information and pictures of entering the apartment.. It couldn't have been easier!! And so secure. The apartment itself is beautiful. I felt so at home. The views and walks are hard to describe in words, so lovely. People in Spiddal are extremely welcoming. Groceries, pubs and the bus are a few steps away. In a few words, I can't wait to go back and definitely hope I can stay at the apartment. My home away from home. Thanks Matthew!!

We can’t say enough about how wonderful our stay was! Mairead was warm and welcoming and her place was perfectly cozy and fully equipped. We were able to walk to a local pub, a grocery store to cook, and the beach ( about 10-15 minutes). We also conveniently were able to take a bus to nearby Galway and Au Spiddal, a cute little craft town. Highly recommend to anyone looking to get away to the countryside with easy access to city life!

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!
