Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Rathmines, Dublin

Wow! I can't say enough about Susan's home in Dublin. The house was immaculate and much larger than I thought it would be based on the photos. Everything was beautiful, the decorations were unique and interesting, and the rooms were inviting and comfortable. The garden access from the house was so open and unique that I'm thinking about copying it on my home. Susan was incredibly responsive to all our questions and we would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Dublin. Thanks, Susan!

I couldn't be happier with my experience. The location was fantastic, just a convenient 45-minute walk from the city center, making it easy to explore and enjoy all the attractions. Additionally, the neighborhood itself was vibrant, with numerous restaurants and pubs less than 10 minute walk away, adding to the overall convenience. The house itself was spotless and offered plenty of space. The owner went above and beyond by providing thoughtful little extras that made our stay even more enjoyable. Owner was easy to get a hold of and very responsive to any questions we had. Check-in and check-out were a breeze, making the whole experience seamless and stress-free. I highly recommend this house for anyone looking for a clean, spacious, and well-located place to stay!

What a priviledge being able to stay in such a beautifu house filled with art. The room is a dream, you fall asleep to dancing trees, in an extremely comfortable bed. The room has plenty of space, beautiful view, the bathroom is quite marvellous aswell, the shower was great, and a Billy Holliday picture! couldnt ask for more but got it, cause Kitty was the perfect hostess, perfect balance between warm and wellcoming and chill and unintrusive. Would stay there again anytime in Dublin. Thanks Kitty, a wonderful stay

The place was very quiet. Mary was a great host. Room is not so big, but it was enough for us. bathroom was cold, but shower was very good

Aine and Joe were superb hosts. We traveled from US with our two adult daughters and felt right at home. Not only was the inside of the home comfortable, their gardens and landscaping were spectacular. The Rinelagh district was as advertised with multiple great pubs and restaurants. Aine made so many good recommendations for food and site seeing. When we return to Dublin, we will be sure to stay here again.

Thanks Fionn, I might be back. Great location and bed was very comfortable

Fabulous accommodations for our adult family of 7. Enjoyed welcome treats provided by hosts

Perfect stay in Black Rock. Calm and clean accomodation, Jackie very helpful and responsive host. We'll be back!

Jamie was an excellent host, responsive and gave us clear instructions. We had great time exploring Dublin from here. His place was comfortable for us.

Spacious apartment in a cool old building near the heart of Dublin. Very lively neighbourhood; surrounded by tons of pubs, cafes, etc. Alex was a great host. Would definitely stay there again!

Nice little apartment that was in a perfect location for me as I attended a conference in the hotel next door. But it is also good to explore Dublin, not far from Stephen's Green, and you have several buses stopping nearby that will get you to the city in just a few minutes. From my business trip perspective I enjoyed the stable and very fast internet connection and the desk area in the living room. Unfortunately, there is no wardrobe in the apartment, but you will find a few hangers and I used the very deep window sill to store everything else. The kitchen is nice, but I have seen other Airbnbs with a few more kitchen utensils. For me it was sufficient, but if you have higher cooking ambitions you might miss a few things. Michelle was easy to reach and very kind in making an early check-in possible as my flight arrived in Dublin in the morning. There is a small convenience store in walking distance as well as a few smaller restaurants.

A perfect use of a small space. So convenient for the DART and lovely to be near the beach.

This is a lovely, sunny, spacious apartment in a quiet, first-class building. Everything in the unit was pristine and modern. Convenient kitchen with new appliances and well-appointed bathroom. The large bedroom has generous closets, blackout curtains, and very comfortable bed. The location is unbeatable, with St Stephen’s Green, Trinity College, museums, shopping and restaurants just steps away and most major attractions within walking distance. Highly recommended.

Very cute, comfortable, and clean space that was as advertised and met my expectations. Liam was a great host, he provided information about the unit and stores in the vicinity for supplies, provided bottled water in the fridge, and clear instructions and pictures for check in/out. Would recommend. Thanks Liam!

Peter was responsive to all our questions and a great host. Please bear in mind. This Airbnb is situated on the DART rail line. and you can hear the train pass each time north and south directions.. The Airbnb is essentially located, and as the Sunnymount train station is literally a woman at walk from the front door access to all parts of the coastline north and south of the city are readily available

Great unit with plenty of room. Danielle communicates well and is very responsive. I was able to walk the city easily from this location and would stay again!

The perfect place to stay! It was extremely peaceful and was definitely worth it in every way!

This was a great find, everything was spotless and exactly as described, instructions were clear and apartment had great amenities (for my family the stands out were the pack n play, coffee press, private parking spot, tv for the kids) and it was beautifully furnished and felt very comfortable. Location was also very convenient and walkable, great place!

He was amazing , the kettle was broke and he replaced quickly . He was always ready to help with the internet that sometimes did oscillated and I was trying to participate in some meetings - working remotely. There are 4 floors, with luggages is hard but the location is amazing 🤩 but one thing, the night club across de street on Saturday night.

Lovely place! Everything was as described. Plenty of space for our family of 4. Neighborhood felt quiet and very safe. I only wish it was closer to the city centre as driving was a bit nerve-wracking! John was a very responsive host who was accommodating. Would definitely recommend satyomg here!

I absolutely loved my stay in the den! I love the location because the little bit outside of the busy city, but also very easily walkable. The access to the bus stations are also super easy. There is a Michelin star guide restaurant right down the road a 15 minute walk from there that was incredible. And Sinead and Jane we’re super responsive and gave fantastic instructions. If I come back to Dublin, I would definitely stay there!

David's place was exactly as described. Great location in the Portobello neighbourhood and was easy to get into central Dublin. Also great transportation to other areas via the bus. David was very flexible when we had to change our booking from Sept 2024 to May 2025. He was extremely welcoming when we checked in (provided a bottle of wine!) and very responsive when we accidentally locked ourselves out on the last day of our stay!! We stayed for 6 nights and appreciated the kitchen amenities and the very comfortable bed :) We would highly recommend David's place if you are travelling to Dublin.

Beautiful home with fantastic views and easy access to walkable spaces. The lively (people and dogs walking and playing along the Strand) yet peaceful area is a welcome respite from the more population dense areas of Dublin. With a little advance planning you can easily walk to the DART, the beautiful restaurants and shops surrounding the green space nearby, or just stroll down the Strand and soak in the vibrant waterfront vibes. The host is friendly and offers so much helpful information prior to your arrival so you really can’t go wrong staying here. Bring earplugs for the road noise at night in the primary bedroom, but don’t let that deter you from this waterfront location.

Annette was very helpful, and a great communicator. The place was very clean and cute. The surrounding was very walkable, and had a lot of good restaurants.
