Cottage 101 - Moyard
Absolutely stunning location!!!!! We spent an entire morning climbing on the peninsula, looking in the tide pools, watching the otters play, and seabirds fly. The sheep near by could be seen and heard and I couldn't imagine a more beautiful spot. It was a short drive to Kylemore Abbey and the national park. The shear sense of serenity and freshness was invigorating. The beds were comfortable and the living room was well stocked with reading material for a peaceful evening. My group has already discussed coming back for a longer stay just to enjoy the coastline more.

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.

Great house in Spanish Point
Very convenient, few mins walk from Armada hotel, all rooms were spacious and beds comfortable. All amenities and more for staycation. Responsive host.

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!

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 Beach House
We fell in love with Lahinch from the moment we arrived. This charming seaside town offers a perfect mix of cozy pubs, local shops, and a vibrant atmosphere. The ocean was powerful and majestic, and the food options were plentiful and delicious. Sara's place was perfect for our family of five...comfortable, well-equipped, and ideally located. From our first interaction, Sarah was incredibly responsive and welcoming. We cannot wait to go back!

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!

Lahinch central sea views 1 min to beach
We were so lucky to find Anne’s place, such a gem. Very convenient and walkable to many places. We can’t wait to go back.

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!

Stylish home next to the Ocean with Jacuzzi Bath
We had a lovely visit here. It was the end of a long trip, so the living room was especially nice to relax as a family. I recommend that you pay close attention to the directions about the water. There are some nuances that you need to heed. It’s all spelled out clearly. My true review is of the property manager, Joanne. She is an angel on earth. We had a luggage issue and she went above and beyond to help us. So caring and conscientious about her work!! We can’t say enough nice things about her!

The Bay Coach House, private sea access, sleeps 6
Lorraine is such a gracious host and lovely person, who will make your stay an enjoyable experience. This place exceeded our expectations in every way. We would absolutely stay here again and again! Andrew & Jill.

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

Beautiful Sea View 2 Bedroom Specious Apartment
Beautiful view and lots to do in the area. Has a parking lot for the building which was also very nice.

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!

Galway, rent/buy
This is a great cozy place, decorated like a classic home of the mid 20th century, with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. It even has a fireplace! It’s in Athenry, with a train station accessible directly from Limerick or Dublin. It’s a 20 min ride to Galway centre. Ray is a nice guy who showed us around when we arrived. We really recommend it

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.

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.

Luxury 4 bedroom House By Westport Harbour
Great location, warm house with loads of space. playroom was ideal for toddlers
