Waterfront holiday rentals in Galway

I booked this place when travelling for Work. I wished I’d had more time! Absolutely beautiful location, great little village with good coffee, a sauna and lots of activities to get involved with. I saw a heron, cormorants, swifts and more whilst staying here. Definitely recommend taking a book out to the decking for a nice relaxing read. The view from the master bedroom is beautiful. Would book again!

The weather was bad, and our host warned us that the accommodation was free an hour earlier. A big thank you to him for this follow-up and the welcome. The studio is peaceful, very close to restaurants and shops. The town of Clifden is close (30 min drive) to many tourist attractions. The discovery of Connemara while staying in Clifden was very pleasant.

We visited Ireland for the first time (4-person family) and deliberately chose a rural accommodation. The location was fantastic and we were particularly impressed by the nearby beaches. The view of the surrounding mountains was also beautiful. The house was spacious and offered everything we needed. It was a good starting point for our activities with the car. We had a nice time together as a family and thank Margaret and her husband very much for their hospitality.

A box of chocolates and bottle of Baileys greeted us upon arrival at the exceptionally clean and well appointed apartment. Spacious kitchen, living room and stone walled patio made our 2 couple stay delightful. The view of Clifden Bay was serene and private. Lounging on the patio in the Irish sun with a cold Guinness made it hard to leave at times! SuperValu grocery, deli, bakery and wine, beer and spirits a 2 minute walk away. And downtown with a wide selection of shops, pubs and restaurants only 3 walkable minutes nearby as well. Great location to visit Kylemore Abbey, Connemara National Park, Sky Roadand the charming coastal village of Roundstone. Host, Liz, endlessly attentive and available. So fortunate to have such a caring soul as part of our visit! 5+ 🌟 s

We loved our stay in Galway! The apartment had unbelievable views and within walking distance to many pubs and restaurants. Highly recommended!

From beginning to end our 3 days in Furbo suite was amazing. Irene was very accommodating when we had to move our check in to later. The suite, including the kitchen, was fully appointed and very clean. Very walkable to every part of city. Laundry was a huge plus as we were half way through a 2 week trip and needed it. Irene was absolutely amazing and spot on with her recommendations. In fact when she found out our next stop, she provided recommendations for a few restaurants and hikes! Only caution I would say is for those with limited mobility. The stairs going up to the kitchen/living room area are original and narrow. I thought it was charming but I know it might be harder for some. Also, no on-site parking but the lot is only a 3 minute walk. I do suggest carefully pulling into the alley to drop off luggage before parking. If ever in Gallway again, we will be back. Highly recommend.

Lovely hosts and a real feeling of getting away from it all. Loved the fire too.

Amazing place! Super peaceful and the area around is absolutely gorgeous!

A big thank you to Piero for the support.

Loved staying here for a family wedding. Great location near everything but a couple of blocks away from the crowds. Plenty of room for the 6 of us. I had one question about check in (due to my careless reading of the check-in information and she was immediately available. Highly recommend!

We loved staying in The Bakery. The Photos don’t do it justice. Spacious and pristine. Maeve was very quick to respond to any queries we had. She had also left Lindor chocolates, biscuits and fresh flowers for us which was just lovely. Roundstone is so picturesque, with a couple of lovely pubs and the walk on the nearby beaches on Christmas Day morning was just stunning. Would highly recommend staying here.

The Roundhouse is amazing, almost certainly the best Airbnb we have stayed in. The location is incredible for a peaceful get away, with beautiful surroundings. There is a jetty with ocean access for kayaking (to a seal colony!) right on the doorstep. The house is finished to an exceptional standard. There is plenty of space and the amenities are very high end. The bedrooms were extremely comfortable, and the kitchen had everything you could need and more. Bernie and Val were perfect hosts, making us feel welcome and going above and beyond throughout to make our stay special. If I could praise it more, I would! We hope to be back.

The views from the house and the peaceful location were everything that I was hoping for. You definitely need a car to get around, as indicated in the description, but the local shop and pub are within easy walking distance. The house was clean and tidy, and pleasantly warm as well. Comfy beds, well equipped kitchen with everything you could want. There were 4 adults in my party and we each got a room to ourselves, but you could easily fit twice as many people and the house wouldn't feel crowded. Stunning area with plenty of wonderful hikes and things to see within 15-45 mins away. Loved it!

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!!

Beautiful setting and an incredibly comfortable home. We would love to come again and stay longer. The view of the mountains, water, horses grazing, the sky and sea are just amazing. We got to see the place in sun, rain, and winds and loved every second of it. The living room and kitchen eat in area are comfortable. The place is light and airy. The beds were comfortable and the area is so very quiet and peaceful. We really loved the place and the host, Ita, was very kind and accommodating.

My friend and I had the most lovely stay with David and Cheryl. They made us feel very at home and cared for with their recommendations for what to do in the area and thoughtful conversations over delicious coffee + breakfast. The home was beautiful and very comfortable + cozy. We hope to be back!

Lovely place a few minutes walk to a handful of great pubs and restaurants. Apartment was clean and well stocked with extra towels, etc. Great communication from Fiona prior to our stay which included lots of useful suggestions on things to do and places to see in the area.

Lovely spot in Salthill! Everything was clean & bright, parking was excellent, & the space was very well-appointed. We have the following thoughts as a couple traveling with a young child: - VERY helpful to have the dedicated parking! - It was really a treat to have such nice amenities throughout the unit, from big items such as the washer/dryer to nice touches like an ice tray (we Americans definitely appreciated that!). - The view and location really can't be beat. Such a treat to watch the ocean and promenade from the balcony, and we were able to walk to dinner/to get groceries easily. - Note that the unit has fireproof doors throughout which are quite heavy and were a struggle for our child. Two doorstops were provided, which helped, but I mention just in case it's helpful. - The security provided at the building level was inconsistent; the gate and front door were sometimes locked and sometimes not, with no rhyme or reason. - Overall, we were very pleased & would stay again!

We absolutely loved this place. Galway is the coolest town and this apartment was stunning. So spacious and clean. You can walk down the street to a strip of restaurants and shops or along the water for a nice walk. Not too far from the Latin Quarter which is so cool. The balcony was amazing, check in was easy, parking spots for our car, it was perfect!

Loretta’s guesthouse is very high level quality for Airbnb. I have stayed in many Airbnbs but none were anywhere near as good as this one. It is absolutely beautiful and the photos don’t do it enough justice. It is extremely clean, practical and beautiful. Loretto is an extremely welcoming host. What a pleasure to have met her. I can understand the previous reviews where someone said she didn’t want to leave. The bed is very comfy and made up with exquisite linen. The sitting/sun room looks out onto the well kept garden. A pure slice of heaven. We HIGHLY recommend it. 🌸🌼

Beautiful views, in ideal location. The accommodation itself was clean and has everything you need.

Excellent location. Nice unit with a view of the harbor. Clean, modern and pretty. Recommend!

We had a wonderful couple of days at Janet's apartment. very clean, private and perfectly situated in beautiful surroundings. Would highly recommend and we will be back sometime in the future.

Super location, great hosts and the cleaner, Sally was also helpful and friendly. The listing omits the fact that there are two shower rooms with toilets, so the facilities are better than you would expect. We were staying for a wedding at The Lodge at Ashford Castle. The location is great for that and you can see where you were staying on the wedding pictures.
