Vacation rentals with beach access in Galway

This is a modern apartment in a secure building, right on the seafront at Salthill. Nearby free public car park, so we left our car for the duration and either walked to the West End (30 mins) for entertainment, or took the 401 bus (15 mins). Lots of local eating, drinking and music venues. Lifeguard station at the beach, but we eschewed swimming this particular weekend. Very comfortable bed, sunspot with chairs on an enormous balcony, allowing privacy. Would highly recommend.

Perfect place to stay in Galway for our family. Great location and all the amenities we needed.

Thank you for making your place available to us. We were comfortable, enjoyed our stay and would recommend the home to anyone staying in Derry.

My mother, grandmother and I stayed in Pamela’s place for a few days during our trip to Galway. The amount of space was perfect for us and allowed us to each have our own room. Beds were cozy and the unit was clean. Extremely walkable for getting to the Latin Quarter!

It was an incredible stay at a farm cottage. The family leaving at the farm was the kindest and the most welcoming people. I will definitely come back

Great location. Walking distance to cafes and restaurants. Quiet considering it is densely residential. Off street parking. Spacious accommodation.

Lovely little place, super cozy and had all the kitchen items needed to cook a stay in meal. Loved the close by beach, spent a good majority of our time down there. Máirín and Paddy were very friendly and welcoming hosts. Thanks for a wonderful stay!!

Was really totally cozy in the nice apartment. Walk to the sea to watch wading birds and then have an ice cream in the ice cream shop right next to the apartment. Very nice. In addition, the wonderful silence. Because the Burren offers so much and the impressive Cliffs of Moher are so close, we are definitely considering coming back. We loved it.

It was perfect. I wouldn’t change a thing!

Our stay at the Bog Road Cottage was wonderful. The location was ideal for us as it was outside the nearby towns so was quiet and sat on a great, walkable road that ran through a beautiful area, but it was close enough to easily drive into Clifden or one of the nearby beach towns. The cottage itself was quaint and comfortable, with all the amenities we needed, some nice treats to welcome us on the first day, and nice seating inside and out for some slow mornings and evenings. Sophia was really welcoming and very helpful in providing insights and info on good things to do in the area, and great with communication. We very much enjoyed our stay here.

A big thank you to Piero for the support.

Em’a place was just lovely, and we spent a very comfortable 2 nights there. Very highly recommended.

Tom Jacks is in a stunning, peaceful, location with beautiful coastal views. We even spotted Dolphins, whilst eating breakfast outside! The decking area is spacious and comfortable outdoor furniture is provided,along with a BBQ. Inside, the house is very clean and quite spacious, with a log burner for cosy evenings. (Plenty of logs provided) The house is well situated for drives to the local beaches and surrounding area. Letterfrack has a good supermarket. We wouldn’t hesitate in returning in the future.

Had a fantastic stay here. The cottage and the area were absolutely lovely and J was so helpful when we’re checking in- he recommended some wonderful hikes and places to eat!

We loved our stay at Rockfield cottage. Great location, Kinvara is close and a lovely place. The house was lovely, super comfy bed and good showers. Thank you for the welcome hamper. We enjoyed our meals together at the cottage and playing the wii.

We have stayed at many places in Ireland over last few years but Dolphin Beach Lodge has become our favourite place so far. The house is beautiful and so clean with everything you might need for your stay or more. The location is brilliant with breathtaking views and its own private beach. We got very lucky with the weather and even spotted a couple of very playful dolphins on our last morning here. Clodagh is one of the best hosts we have stayed with who even allowed us to check in early and check out late to make the most of the weather. We have already started to plan our next stay.

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.

This apartment is very comfortable and within walking distance from Salthill, with its beautiful promenade and charming restaurants and pubs. Guests without a car can catch a bus into Galway at a stop across the street. My husband and I enjoyed Galway’s lively pub and restaurant scene and historical sites and also got to see the gorgeous coast and even see a sheep-herding demonstration by taking a couple of bus tours (through Lally Tours). We had a lovely stay.

Me, my cousin and his two young sons stayed at Gail and Antoine's house in Garmna, right in the middle of the islands in Connemara. We had a warm welcome from the first day not only from Gail and Antoine but also from their neighbors. The house was veryclean, comfortable and beautifully furnished. The bedrooms were to a high standard and the place was veryconvenient for the fishery, our reason for coming. Antoine was extremely generous with his time and advice. We loved the pool table in the evening. The atmosphere was always relaxed and welcoming. I highly recommend anyone who would like a trulyIrish experience in beautiful Connemara. We will undoubtedly be back!

Very lovely home in a calm nice neighborhood-ideal for exploring Galway and the surroundings Can absolutely recommend the place - Pauline is a very friendly supportive host witj a very proactive communication style

We can’t say enough about how wonderful our stay was! Mairead was warm and welcoming and her place was perfectly cozy and fully equipped. We were able to walk to a local pub, a grocery store to cook, and the beach ( about 10-15 minutes). We also conveniently were able to take a bus to nearby Galway and Au Spiddal, a cute little craft town. Highly recommend to anyone looking to get away to the countryside with easy access to city life!

I was looking for a quiet and yet beautiful spot to relax . Matthew's place was above and beyond my expectations. I was arriving on my own in Spiddal for the first time and a bit worried about finding the apartment and getting in. Matthew gave me detailed information and pictures of entering the apartment.. It couldn't have been easier!! And so secure. The apartment itself is beautiful. I felt so at home. The views and walks are hard to describe in words, so lovely. People in Spiddal are extremely welcoming. Groceries, pubs and the bus are a few steps away. In a few words, I can't wait to go back and definitely hope I can stay at the apartment. My home away from home. Thanks Matthew!!

We really enjoyed our stay at this Airbnb. The location was beautiful, it was incredibly spacious! It was spotlessly clean and the host was very helpful, and really took time to think of all the little details to make the stay comfortable. I would just say to be aware that others are renting the main house below you. You have your own door to lock so it’s not uncomfortable, but you do enter the same front door as them. And if you want to use the laundry you need to walk around back and enter the house from the back ; so it is possible that the other family is outside or can see you from the dining area. It didn’t bother us , but the other family staying there wasn’t aware we would be there, so just thought it worth mentioning. But we loved the stay!

My fiancee and I stayed 4 nights here on the latter half of our two week trip to Ireland. The location couldn’t not have been more perfect. About equidistant (and easily walkable) between Salt Hill and the Latin Quarter, this quiet tucked away building was everything we could’ve wanted. Parking lot was accessible and always had plenty of spaces. The host, Marie, was very welcoming. She provided us with a list of local recommendations of restaurants and pubs, as well as places to explore. She also let us know what restaurants needed to be booked in advance, so we immediately were able to set up reservations for the weekend. Can’t recommend this location as well as county Galway enough.
