Apartment with great view.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this lovely Airbnb, and it exceeded all my expectations! The property was spotless, well-maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. The attention to detail in the decor made it feel cozy and welcoming, and the amenities provided everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect – close to local attractions yet quiet enough to relax and unwind. Dominic was incredibly responsive and went out of their way to make sure the stay was enjoyable. I wouldn’t hesitate to book this place again in the future. If you’re looking for a great spot for your next trip, this is it! Highly recommended!

The Orchard - Refurbed Studio w views of Clew Bay
We were very happy staying at Clew Bay. The place was spotless, beautifully an cosy decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The bed was super cozy, the kitchen was fully stocked, and I really appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout the space. The location was perfect—close to everything but still quiet and peaceful. A car would be reccommended though. The host was incredibly kind and responsive, making check-in a breeze and even offering local recommendations that made our trip extra special. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

Luxury apartment with great views of Cork Harbour
My family and me had the privilege to stay in this wonderful apartment It was a clean centrally located apartment according to the description Aoife was very friendly and reactive in the communication

Luxury Galway City Penthouse
The place was fantastic and exactly what my wife and I needed after driving through the country side for a few days. It’s in a perfect location to walk to the city center and Quay Street for food and drinks. The balcony was perfect for watching the ships come and go and for a little bit of a view when winding down. Would recommend to anyone needing a comfy place to stay a few days in Galway.

Sunset Crag - Beautiful Apartment
Had a great stay for 3 nights. Everything was as mentioned in the listing, but the photos don’t really capture the amount of space you have at your disposal. The views from the apartment are great and everything you need is within walking distance. I recommend Little Richard’s Pizza, Gerry’s Fresh Foods and Stoop Your Head (seafood restaurant on the front). Valerie left some scones, bread and milk which was very appreciated. The kitchen was well stocked and was a joy to cook in. The heating was set for certain times so we didn’t have to worry about being cold, and it was especially nice turning up on the first day to a warm place. I would defintely return to Skerries and rent Valerie’s place again.

Upper Apartment @ Buttermilk

Cheers Tim,Samantha & Reuben

First floor, new beautiful apartment
Great apartment in the middle of town with fantastic views. Comfortable beds. Clean spaces. Lots of extras provided: essential toiletries, pantry staples, and lots of snacks and extras. I would definitely recommend this place for a stay in cute Cobh. FYI: the entrance to this unit is at ground level, a flight of stairs takes you to the communal areas, and a second set of stairs takes you to the bedrooms.

Picturesque Galway Bay Property
It was perfect for us. Great location.

Mulroe Cove - The Boathouse
Lovely and calm boathouse right next to a beautyful bay. I loved the morning swims, the sunrises and sunsets. You can watch birds and we were lucky enough to watch otters several times! Stephanie is a very friendly person and gave us several tips. My partner said I should give 5 of 5 otters for the accomodation. I totally agree :-)

Beautiful sea-view, country cottage feel townhouse
Norita's cottage was warm and inviting. So many personal and heartwarming touches. We were greeted by a table of fresh duck and chicken eggs, a lovely loaf of brown bread and delicious homemade biscuits. There was fresh creamy milk in the fridge. The beds were warm and cozy with electric blankets and hot water bottles dressed as cute fuzzy animals. Each bed was graced with a thoughtful, personal gift. Our morning was spent playing with the very talented dog, Rocco who entertained us with this tricks and introduced us to his good buddy, the cat. We were sad to leave this peaceful and vibrant home and hope to visit longer next time.

The Boat House, Inish Beg Estate
We had an absolutely fantastic time here. Would highly recommend. The house was spotless, very well kept. The beds were all extremely comfortable, all with fresh linen. The view was amazing. The house is right on the water. The gardens and estate was an excellent place to go for a wander and explore. Paul was an excellent host. We cant wait to come back again

Waterfront Cottage on Wild Atlantic Way
This stone row house was perfect for the two of us. It could accommodate 4 people easily, 5 in a pinch. Kitchen was well-equipped, a grocery shop was a short walk away. Lovely pub next door had a good menu Thursday-Sunday, and Kelly's Restaurant was wonderful for breakfast and lunch (closed Sunday). We took lovely long walks right from the house, and traveled by bus to nearby towns. Newport is a gem. Lourda was very responsive. I highly recommend this rental.

Wild Atlantic Mayo Coastal Retreat
Absolutely extraordinary place. Went with some friends and we had an amazing time. The house is breathtaking, as are the surroundings. Will be back for sure.

Stunning beach house just off Wild Atlantic Way
Such a peaceful retreat in a beautiful setting. Staying in this house was like escaping into a dream. The views were simply unreal and there were plenty of nearby sites (ring forts, beach) within walking distance. There were detailed instructions with recommendations on nearby restaurants as well. The caretaker for the home was incredibly responsive and friendly. Such a lovely home that I would happily stay at again.

Beachhouse+Hottub
We had a fantastic stay, the house was lovely and had everything we could need. Jacqui and Stephen were very helpful and provided a list of nearby attractions and restaurants etc which we really appreciated. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing stay.

Boatstrand Beachhouse
We had an amazing stay at Clodagh's stunning beachfront house. If anything, the house exceeded our expectations, even though the listing looked perfect in every way. The house is so beautiful inside & out, with the perfect living/sleeping layout for a group. The furnishings are top-notch, the supplied items exceeded our expectations, the kitchen had top of the range appliances, & was well supplied with basic condiments. Sean, the local rep was so friendly on arrival, gave us a tour of the house & was on hand if we needed him. All in all, this is a gorgeous house in a magical location & we had perfect sunny weather for the entirety of our stay. Clodagh and Sean are so responsive & positive. A truly awesome few days. We will return!
Waterfront condo rentals

Dingle Town relax and unwind
Great stay! Condo was exactly as listed, perfect for what we needed. Perfect location, very walkable into town but also has a countryside feel with pastures in the backyard. John and Eileen were incredible hosts, so friendly and welcoming. Loved being greeted in person by John upon arrival and hearing his stories about his passion for Dingle. Highly recommend this stay!

Lakehouse Apartment with Hot Tub and Sauna
Mary is such an amazing host. She was so helpful and friendly. nothing was too much to ask. Everything was just as described. we had an amazing relaxing time. When you stay make sure to bring some apples and carrots for the donkeys, they will be your best friends. the sunsets over the lake as you relax in the hortus are stunning. can't wait to go back!

Harbour Apartment, Dundalk
My favourite air bnb i’ve stayed in so far. Had everything you could possibly need, lots of mirrors, spotless and the host was very nice to deal with.

Duplex Penthouse with Skyline Views in the City
Just north of the Liffey apartment is near Epic Ireland, restaurants and grocery stores. We enjoyed the harbor view and the outdoor terrace. Kitchen had everything we needed and location is secure which was important to us particularly as this was a mother/daughter trip. Host was responsive and helpful.

Harbour View Luxury 2bdrm Retreat in Heart of Cobh
This space was just perfect for our visit to Cobh. It was in the best location, with a gorgeous water view and within walking distance to every thing in town. A big plus was the parking spaces right out front. We parked the car and didn't move it. The space was spotless and uncluttered. Just note, there is a flight of stairs up to the living area. then a second flight to the bedrooms; ok for us but others may find them problematic. I highly recommend this location.

Harbour Mill Westport apartment.
Catherine was excellent. Proactive, and communicative from start to finish. Location is excellent for exploring Mayo, Connemara, Achil Island. A landscape that it is impossible to grow tired of IMO. Accommodation is as described and had everything needed. Functional rather than pretentiously luxurious. Overall good value in a lovely part of a lovely country. Thank you Catherine

Stunning views of the ocean from our stylish home
We come to Tramore to visit family every year and this place was perfect. Everything was spotless. The location is very walkable to all areas and you really don’t need a car if that’s an option for you. Hot water bottles and heated blankets were a nice touch to warm up at night. The sun shone for us … so that made it especially nice!

Harbour View Killybegs 3 bed apartment
Great apartment, located centrally in Killybegs. Liam and Clementine provided clear instructions on the location and how to access the apartment before we arrived. The apartment was in great condition. No complaints!
