Wild Atlantic Cottage - Connemara Seaview Idyllic setting, amazing views
We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage very comfortable, clean, warm and well presented and communication was excellent.

Beautiful Stone Cottage - sleeps 6/7 beside beach
Location was out of this world. We were very lucky with the weather too. It was one to remember.

Austin's Cottage, Ballyconneely
We had a wonderful stay at the cottage. Lovely views and so peaceful. House was perfect for us - clean and well equipped. The area is so beautiful, with great walks and beaches nearby. Excellent food at Sweet Nothings and at local pubs. Michael was extremely friendly and helpful. Hope to be back.

Cliffs of Moher View
The accommodation is clean, spacious, bright and well-equipped, a separate building. It has a perfect sense of privacy and silence. Parking is inside the property, almost under the living room window. It was a pleasant surprise that the third person also got a full-size bed (in the description it was a pull-out sofa). The host was helpful and friendly, he was waiting for us upon arrival. We arrived at low tide, it was a special experience to walk on the sand of the sea and the rocks that had become dry. The stairs leading there are a 2-minute walk. All three of us were happy that we chose this accommodation. Thank you!

Seaside Cottage Retreat in Errislannan, Clifden
Charming cozy cottage in a beautiful location. Very welcoming and comfortable and Lucia was very helpful

Red Island House, on the shore of Lough Mask
A fantastic location with views in every direction, each very special and therefore never boring. A good starting point for several (hiking) tours. Get tips on this, too. Sun (if you shine) from morning to evening at or in the house. We have already decided after a few days that we want to come back next year. To relax and unwind one of the best accommodations I know. And don't worry about the driveway, is really absolutely doable and does not require a special car or a special driver.

Burren beach house, Wild Atlantic Way Ballyvaughan
Our family of 5 plus a baby had a wonderful time ! The beach access , large house with room for everyone to have space - the large kitchen and patio area - we enjoyed being together watching amazing sunsets and playing games. Tom and Patricia were so helpful and friendly. Wonderful stay !

Helen's Hideaway
Beautiful views and well equipped. Peaceful yet walkable into Clifden - a lovely town and lots to do locally. Great stay.

Ocean Sunset Villa.
Lovely place to stay in . Right at the ocean with great views from the house. Close to all attractions we wanted to visit . Lovely pub just 2km away. Sheila was nice and welcoming, place had all it needed to have even hair dryer. Mattresses were little soft however we slept very good . There are black out blinds in every room. Very quiet place and the views are just magnificent. Definitely will be staying here again.

The Blackrock Retreat- Salthill - free parking
Michelle's place is great and in the middle of Salthill so no car needed for all the activities the area has to offer. The communication was friendly and helpful. The flat was clean and cozy, highly recommend!

Ultra-comfortable Connemara House / Sea Views
Very comfortable. Beautiful surroundings and view. Didn’t want to leave.

Atlantic Whisper
This stay was absolutely amazing! The place was not only beautiful and spotless, but also incredibly cozy and thoughtfully decorated. Susan was a fantastic host! She went out of her way to make sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. I couldn’t recommend this place more and would love to come back someday. Thank you, Susan!

Murrevagh Mealóg
it is a lovely self contained unit on the edge of town. Perfect. Easy access to bars and restaurants and right beside a lovely beach. Very clean and tidy. Perfect.

The Bay Coach House, private sea access, sleeps 6
A Truly Exceptional Stay in Murrisk I can’t recommend this property highly enough! From the moment we arrived, it felt like a true home away from home. The host, Lorraine, was incredibly welcoming and thoughtful, going above and beyond to make our stay special. The house itself is beautifully presented, with luxurious bedding and towels, underfloor heating, squeaky clean and everything just right. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a delightful welcome package that included homemade scones and jam, a bottle of wine, water, and even milk—which I had forgotten to pick up at the shop. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare and so appreciated...as we're the sticks for climbing the reek! The location is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views of Clew Bay. It’s peaceful, serene, and only a short distance from Westport. I’ve stayed in many Airbnbs over the years, but this one truly stands out for its warmth and exceptional hospitality of Lorraine. We loved our stay and will be back!

Ocean View Farm House
I dont have enough good to say about this house. My family wanted to get a feel for "authentic" Ireland and we got it aplenty. Everything from narrow, beautiful roads to visiting with the cows next door. Loved every moment.

Emlagh Beach Cottage, an oceanview to remember
The location of this house is absolutely phenomenal - right on the beach with views from the house directly onto Emlagh beach and the bay. House is surrounded by nature, animals and perfect for sea swimming, walking and enjoying the great Connemara outdoors. The house has everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Beds are comfortable. The decor is a little tired. Regardless we had a wonderful time and would love to come back! Thanks for a great stay.

Sruthán Pier House
Barbara was a great host. The house was perfect come rain or shine. The Spar shop in Carraroe is only 5 minutes away and was as good as any medium sized supermarket with great choice. Don’t miss the Realt pub if you want a good pint of Guinness

Berrylodge Country House Spanish Point Clare
Fantastic Airbnb, beautiful space and excellent location with short walk to the beach. David was a great host and went the extra mile to ensure we had an amazing stay. Can not recommend this Airbnb highly enough, thank you David!

Closest House to the Sea in Ireland
Absolutely stunning property. So many high quality little design elements bringing out the nautical theme ⚓️ felt like I was on a boat at sea :)) The big window onto the ocean is a trip. Could have stared out at the waves all day. Will be back

Rockfield Cottage
Loved staying at Fauve’s place, the cottage near Kinvara. Housed my wife and I, our two kids, and my parents. On a secluded coastal/marsh drive off Galway Bay, it’s peaceful and quiet. The house is just as beautiful as the photos. Fauve knows how to decorate - it’s like a showroom inside. Comfy beds, quiet surroundings, huge yard space for the kids to play. The Travellers Inn is just down the street to grab a pint! Don’t hesitate booking this place, it was awesome.

Dolphin Beach Lodge
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!

Tur an Tsaile Lakeview Apartments
Our stay went very well overall. The apartment is bright, spacious with a beautiful view. Parking is also very convenient. The 2 bathrooms are also very nice. Only small downside, the bedding was not as qualitative as the rest of the apartment. But I would highly recommend it!

Westwinds great location near to city & by the sea
Great host with great tips for visiting and great breakfast! Very well located close to the city center and facing the GREAT sea!

Beautiful spacious Farmhouse with stunning views
Top notch experience. Max was very easy to communicate with and answered immediately with the lone question I had. The beds and bedrooms were very comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped with gear, and the outdoor area really made it a special stay. The surrounding area was absolutely beautiful and peaceful. 3 minute walk to a art gallery/cafe, 4 to the beach, 5 to a restaurant/bar. If this place is available don't screw around, just book it.
