Beachfront holiday rentals in County Galway

We had a great time at Catherine's place, the cottage itself was perfectly equipped and located to explore Connemara. One of the highlights of this place is the view towards Dog's Bay and its privacy. Would definitely stay at Catherine's cottage again!

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

Beautiful thstched roof cottage on the sea. Spent a peaceful two nights and enjoyed the nearby walks that Paul had recommended including the restaurant in nearby Ballyvaughn. We even had a tourist bus stop in front of the cottage for photos! That's how charming it is! Thanks you so much for sharing your home with us!

The view from the front of the house is fantastic. The bedrooms and kitchen were fine. The bathroom could do with a bit of tlc but was ok for our visit. The living room shared that wonderful view.

Agradable estancia, lugar limpio y cómodo. Anthony siempre atento a los mensajes y apoyo en lo que se requiera. Puntos a favor por contar con estacionamiento justo enfrente de la habitación.

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.

Extremely happy with our stay. The house had a couple of quirks but the instructions from the owner were clear and made the stay effortless. The location was unbeatable with promixity to town, the cliffs, the burren, and Galway. Couldnt have picked a better spot for our homebase for the trip

Charming cozy cottage in a beautiful location. Very welcoming and comfortable and Lucia was very helpful

I sent my parents here for their anniversary. They absolutely loved it and recommended coming back.

Tres bon sejour. Logement conforme et confortable. Au calme et Tres bien équipé. Vue magnifique depuis la maison. Tres tres belle région. Avons bien randonné. Que de beaux paysages !! Entre mer et montagne, lacs et moutons 😉. Parfait !

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!

We had a fantastic stay! The location is beautiful, right along the promenade and in front of the Blackrock diving board. It’s a 5-min drive or 10-min walk to Salthill’s main street, with lots of great restaurants and groceries. Morton’s was our favorite, especially their fresh-baked soda bread. Blackrock Cottage (just out front) and The Creamery (5-min walk) were our top restaurant picks and easy to walk to. The house was clean, cozy, and well-furnished. Our host was incredibly responsive and welcoming, leaving us a fresh loaf of soda bread, butter, jam, and a bottle of red wine. It’s about 15 mins from Galway city center by car. We’d recommend having a car unless you plan to stay mostly around Salthill. Would definitely stay again!

D’fhan mé féin, mo chol ceathrar agus a bheirt mhac óg i dteach Gail agus Antoine i nGarmna, i gceartlár na n-oileán i gConamara. Bhí fáilte chroíúil romhainn ón gcéad lá, ní hamháin ó Gail agus Antoine ach óna gcomharsana freisin. Bhí an teach an-ghlan, compordach agus feistithe go hálainn. Bhí na seomraí codlata ar chaighdeán ard agus bhí an áit an-áisiúil don iascach, ár gcúis le teacht. Bhí Antoine thar a bheith flaithiúil lena chuid ama agus comhairle. Thaitin an bord púil go mór linn tráthnóna. Bhí an t-atmaisféar suaimhneach agus fáiltiúil i gcónaí. Molaim go hard d’aon duine ar mhaith leis eispéireas fíor-Ghaelach i gConamara álainn. Beidh muid ar ais gan dabht!

Exactly what we were looking for! Incredible escape away from the rat race!

Staying in James’ renovated train carriage was pure magic! From start to finish, everything about our stay was unforgettable. The carriage itself is beautifully restored—full of character, charm, and thoughtful touches that made it feel both unique and incredibly comfortable. You can really tell how much care and creativity James has poured into every detail. Waking up surrounded by countryside views, with the soft creak of old wood and the morning light streaming through the windows, was such a peaceful experience. The space was spotlessly clean, cozy, and surprisingly spacious, with all the modern comforts you’d expect—without losing any of the vintage charm. James was a fantastic host: welcoming, helpful, and full of great local tips. It’s the perfect getaway if you’re looking for something special and a little out of the ordinary. Highly recommended!

This home is well situated in the quieter west end so you can easily cross the bridge to the touristy Latin Quarter if you like and retreat to a more peaceful location when you've had enough. Plus the neighborhood has its own delicious restaurants (Hooked is one) and THE most authentic trad music scene (Crane's) right around the block. Everything is close and walkable. If you have a car you can park in one of several garages or just feed the meter until 6:30pm when parking on the street becomes free until 8:30am. That sounds hard but oddly isn't. Deni is also VERY responsive. Highly recommend.

The perfect place for a holiday! The house was very nice and spacious. The beach is incredible - perfect for kids as it is very shallow which also helps with the temperature because the Atlantic Ocean doesn’t feel as cold as the sun heats up the water in the bay. The restaurant must be one of best we ever went to! Treat yourselves to a dinner there and you won’t be disappointed - outstanding!

Incredible location... next to the beach and with the most amazing mountain views. Very peaceful and special place.

Excellent stay in a gorgeous location. The house was terrific and was spread out enough that four adults and 3 children were not on top of one another. The decor and ambience created a sense of serenity as well. As expected, it is rural and a bit isolated so just be prepared for that. The pub down the street is cash only and no food.

House is beautiful and very comfortable! All the amenities we need and super clean. The view and surrounding scenery are amazing. We walked 3 1/2 miles to town on Sky road each morning and saw donkeys, Connemara ponies, jack rabbits and pheasants. Wonderful restaurants in town. Great hike up Diamond Hill in nearby National Park and swam in ocean at beautiful Dog’s beach. Amazing place for a relaxing and fun vacation!

Super hôte avec d’excellent conseils pour visiter et un petit déjeuner au top! Très bien situé proche du centre ville et face à la mer SUPER!

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.

Great home and location. The home was clean and spacious. Pamela provided clear instructions for check in and was very responsive and accommodating.

We ABSOLUTELY ENJOYED our stay! It was a beautiful apartment with an amazing view! The beds were so comfortable! We can’t say anything negative at all about this experience! We didn’t want to leave and cannot wait to come back!! It was PERFECT!!
