Beachfront vacation rentals in Connacht

Very nice home with a short walk to local restaurants and store. Kennans and the purple onion were our go to eating places after our days out touring. Both very good. We liked the location for walking by the river and watching the world go by. Nice to sit out the front in the Sun in the morning with a coffee. It’s not secluded but it is still very quiet.

Location was out of this world. We were very lucky with the weather too. It was one to remember.

Ciara's little house is quiet and has a nice little garden. The best thing is the location: Close to the beach (just a couple of minutes walk) and to beautiful Achill's Island and Ballycroy National Park. Ciara was very easy to communicate with and arrange check-in details. The house might be a bit small for four people but worked well with three.

We loved our stay and would definitely come back. The cottage was set in such a stunning location. We enjoyed our time inside and out. A great spot for anyone wanting to enjoy the peace, quiet, and beautiful scenery. The cottage itself was adorable, clean, and comfortable.

House was great clean tidy with short pad on to beach which was top class for young children would go back

Spacious home perfect for larger groups, with plenty of rooms and great socializing areas. The location offers stunning views and is very convenient. Heating and showers take some getting used to, but it’s not a major issue. Highly recommend the place, location, and host—excellent value!

A fantastic location with a view 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 it shines) from morning to evening on or in the house. We have already decided after a few days that we want to come back next year. To relax, enjoy and unwind, one of the best accommodations I know. And don't worry about the access, it's really absolutely doable and doesn't require a special car or a special driver.

Great place to stay. It is clean and the location is unbeatable! It was somewhat difficult to find as there are several apartment/condo buildings next to each other, but not too bad. I would definitely stay here again if I return to Galway.

We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage very comfortable, clean, warm and well presented and communication was excellent.

A cottage with an authentic charm in which you wish you could stay for ever. It is one of the nicest places we have ever been to.

Well, what can I say that hasn’t been said by other guests - this is an outstanding rental and Sorcha was a terrific host. The accommodation was exactly as described and super clean. The welcome hamper of food was outstanding- local produce of the highest quality… just loved the granola especially! Everything is walkable from Sorcha’s place whether you’re heading to the pubs, to Eyre Square or in the opposite direction to Salthill; it’s all on your doorstep. The views from the house were fantastic- we watched the Galway hookers set sail and return, so elegant! All in all we’d a super stay and Sorcha was brilliant about communicating & checking that all was okay - so thoughtful. Oh yes, and the little guide she provides is great; we enjoyed some of the food recommendations (book where possible as Galway is super popular!). Great city, great accommodation, great stay.

We greatly enjoyed our stay here. It felt like we were in the middle of nowhere, yet surrounded by so many great places and things to do. The house was cozy and very unique. Sheila and Redmond are fantastic hosts. They cared very much about us having a great experience and provided support and a wealth of knowledge on the area. This was the perfect place to call home for our few days in County Galway. We hope we can make it back one day!!

Brideen is a wonderful host! The accommodations were just as advertised, clean, cozy and well appointed. Brideen was wonderful to work with very responsive and helpful. She made our stay in Donegal well worth our trip North from Galway!

We loved the stay at Mary's. We were visiting with our parents and our baby. She had everything we needed for our baby. Even though the weather wasn't great, we were happy to just stay in and enjoy the comfort and view from her place. Will definitely love to come back.

Such an amazing location and a beautiful, cosy, pristine and comfortable house with stunning views. We (3 adults and 1 dog) Really enjoyed our refreshing walks on the beach with memorable sunrise & sunset views followed by cosy nights in by the roaring fires! Mary was great to deal with and super friendly. House had everything you could need and more. Cannot wait to return!

We only stopped in through Galway but we had the perfect one night stay. Arrived around 7pm and street parking was easy. Apartment was easy to find and we got clear instructions. Short walking distance to everything we wanted to do on our short stay. Would definitely be back.

Cosy paradise with breathtaking views I could write an essay on how much I loved my stay here. While the house is absolutely stunning, beautifully decorated and really spacious, the star of the show is the view - WOW. Sitting on the big comfy chair with a good book and a glass of Prosecco is what dreams are made of. So breathtaking. The house is directly across the road from the beautiful 5km beach and a few mins walk from kids activities and shops and restaurants. The bedroom on the top floor is likely the one you will all be fighting for. En-suite, stunning view and even has its own little dressing room. I couldn’t recommend this place more. We loved it so much we extended our trip by 2 nights. As lovely as the pictures are - they absolutely do not capture how fabulous this house is and how spectacular the views are.

Wonderful house, beautifully presented, in a stunning location, and so homely. Many thanks to Helen.

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

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!

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

We loved this house, a superb family destination, our 4 kids loved the up stairs play area. The down stairs was wonderfully set up for family meal times. The location is excellent, the kids got a few days of surf school and we saw a good bit of Sligo and got some great tips on what to do from the hosts.

What a fantastic spot. We were 4 golfers and we each had a lovely bedroom with comfortable beds. We could see the golf course from the apartment. All Pubs and restaurants could be waked to and the beach was across the road. Fantastic place and we will be back.

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.
