Waterfront apartment accommodation

Seafront Apartment in Sutton
Great pad in a good location. Has a washing machine, and a clothesline in the back to hang out your clothing. Unfortunately we did not anticipate so much traffic getting to and from Dublin - nearly an hour to downtown in the worst of the traffic, so if your plan is to use this place to explore Dublin, look elsewhere. However, it is a very short walk to the train station, which we never did try. Short drive to Howth, MANY great restaurants there! We particularly enjoyed Aqua for seafood.

The Studio On The Square
The weather was bad, and our host warned us that the accommodation was free an hour earlier. A big thank you to him for this follow-up and the welcome. The studio is peaceful, very close to restaurants and shops. The town of Clifden is close (30 min drive) to many tourist attractions. The discovery of Connemara while staying in Clifden was very pleasant.

The Orchard - Refurbed Studio w views of Clew Bay
Patricia was a very friendly and helpful hostess. The studio is tastefully decorated. The beds were very good. Patricia had given us a lot of useful tips for excursions and restaurants in Westport. We found good restaurants there and one of the best Irish pubs.

Modern 2B apt, conveniently located
Comfortable accommodation in a great location. We met Paul and he was really helpful with local places to go. This is a beautiful part of the country.

Sunset Crag - Beautiful Apartment
absolutely loved it,the apartment is stunning. A beautiful place to stay beside the sea. stunning views of the Irish sea and the most warm welcome from Valerie. I will be back for a longer stay in the future.

Lovely sea side apartment in Louisburgh
Irish hospitality at its best. Our hosts were lovely, bringing us freshly laid eggs most days and usually around at the end of the day for a friendly chat. The location was great, we loved our evening strolls along the beach. We hope to return someday.

First floor, new beautiful apartment
Wonderful place to stay!

Water's edge studio apartment
Clean, cute, and cozy! This was an ideal spot for a great starting point into the Ring of Kerry. Wish we could’ve stayed longer!
Waterfront house rentals

No 3 OceanCrest 2 story self-catering house
We loved staying at Ocean Crest - the property was beautiful! Ocean and sunset views from the living area. A short and picturesque walk to the village, but far enough away that it was quiet and peaceful even during the busy Folk Festival. It was a serene retreat and we would love to come back someday!

Lighthouse keepers; Home of the year finalist
We originally booked this listing in May of 2020, but sadly were not able to make the trip due to Covid. 5 years later we finally got to stay int he lighthouse and it was well worth the wait! It was truly a magical experience, with breathtaking views and so many special little details in the house to make it feel like home. We spent 10 days in Ireland and this was the highlight of our trip!

Wild Atlantic Seaside Cottage
This is the best Airbnb experience I’ve ever had. Great responsive and helpful hosts. Local information about the history of the home and of west Ireland. Fantastic variety of historic, religious and natural wonders to see within short drives. Was in Mayo to look for my great grandfathers homestead and felt right at home staying in the hosts beautifully restored and added onto seaside home. Don’t miss an opportunity to stay here!

Wake up to the sound of the sea - Walk to beach
This home has amazing views, is very private, and quiet. We enjoyed the walk to the beach and the coffee shop. Great experience!

Spectacular ocean views minutes to Cliffs of Moher
Beautiful house with stunning views! Very clean & stocked with essentials. Host was easy to communicate with and replied quickly. We were given a courtesy late check out which was very much appreciated! Would definitely stay here again if we revisit the area. Do not hesitate to book this house.

19th century restored Irish stable by the lake
Ciara and Aidan were fantastic hosts, the space was cozy without being too cluttered or small. And the views, oh my word, the views!!! Their property is stunning! I honestly can't say enough good things about this place.

Magical Views - House in dreamlike location
This was our second time staying at Brigit’s and this time we made sure the whole family came along with Jim our dog. The most beautiful and magical place that we all enjoyed so much. We will be back again!

Shorefront Luxury5*comfort pet friendly with pier
We had a great short break at Crona's. The house was very cosy and had everything we needed. We managed to do most of Crona's recommendations. The location is perfect for many beaches in the area, being able to bring our dog this was perfect. Breakfast pack was a nice bonus when we arrived. This was a great find, we will be back again!
Waterfront condo accommodation

Superb Sea view apartment, at Fahan Co. Donegal
This is the third time I have stayed at Martin’s place. Like the other 2 times, it did not disappoint. The only problem I had was the fact that I had to check out!!! Already looking forward to the next visit.

Cabin, Wood stove, Covered balcony, in the trees
We really loved this gorgeous little cabin . It was so tastefully furnished and immaculate . The bread butter and milk left for us were a lovely touch too. Easy parking ,great little outside space and very quiet and private .

Dingle Town relax and unwind
Had a fantastic time using the space to explore Dingle for a couple of days. Just like its description the apartment was well appointed, cozy and close to everything. A lovely warm welcome along with some local history & recommendations for things to do. Wi definitely be back!

BEACHCOVE APT . St Finans Bay .Ballinskelligs
Bridie was fantastic, met us at check-in and suggested where to go for dinner - she also helped us map our route to the Cliffs of Moher the next day via the ferry. She was so kind and we felt right at home. The cottage is fantastic. I just wish we spent more than one night!

Luxury relaxation with sunroom & private apartment
Loretta’s guesthouse is very high level quality for Airbnb. I have stayed in many Airbnbs but none were anywhere near as good as this one. It is absolutely beautiful and the photos don’t do it enough justice. It is extremely clean, practical and beautiful. Loretto is an extremely welcoming host. What a pleasure to have met her. I can understand the previous reviews where someone said she didn’t want to leave. The bed is very comfy and made up with exquisite linen. The sitting/sun room looks out onto the well kept garden. A pure slice of heaven. We HIGHLY recommend it. 🌸🌼

Neds Cottage by the Sea- Sandycove Castletownshend
Lovely coastal home with beautiful views. The hike was cozy and private. I would definitely recommend this location and would come back for another stay.

Harbour View Luxury 2bdrm Retreat in Heart of Cobh
A beautiful location — on the water; close to the Heritage Museum and good restaurants; well appointed and extremely comfortable. We loved our host and location.

#1 Luxurious Lake Retreat, Breathtaking Views! 5★
I'd been trying to stay at Alan's place for a while. It is exactly how it is described and more! You can see his passion shine through with all the attention to details. River View has a massive garden with plenty of benches and tables to enjoy the quiet. His apartment was kitted out perfectly to make you feel right at home. The kitchen has everything you need to cook a meal or just enjoy takeaway from town. Alan even provided tea/coffee, juice, milk, bread, butter, jams and fresh eggs. The bed was incredibly comfortable with a large bathroom that was immaculately clean. The location was easy to find and is just a 5 minute drive from town. The greenway was perfect for long (or short) walks that could go on for hours. I highly recommend!
