Kid-friendly vacation rentals in South Dublin

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

This place is exactly as described and as shown on the photos. It is spacious, tastefully decorated, bright, and really well equipped. I stayed for 2 nights and I am already booked to come back in July!

Very nice host, great place!

Had a relaxed evening and good night, found everything I needed for a comfortable stay.

Nice, quiet neighborhood in Dublin, though turning onto the street can be a challenge for two-way traffic due to a line of rentable bicycles. Roomy, clean and very homelike. Living room was cozy for watching TV and relaxing. Lots of closet space. People we met in the neighborhood were very friendly. Accessible to areas of Dublin we wanted to see.

Always feels nice returning to Kevin's and Tracy's place. They make you feel at home always.

Aoife was a great host providing clear instructions for everything. The home was comfortable, although a bit tight for our bigger party (6 adults and 2 young children). Well stocked and in a nice location.

wonderful location, really good communication from the beginning . lovely quiet area with a lovely park near by. local shopping centre with a great butchers who did brilliant meal deals. from the moment we booked we were made to feel welcome.

The stay was fantastic and quiet, Alex was a very good host to us, always answering any questions we might have at the time, everything was great

The accommodation is very good, comfortable and spotlessly clean. A little way out of the centre of Dublin but the bus stops are close by and buses run very frequently. If you catch the local bus you do need to have the exact money ready for the fare if you don't have a pre-paid card. Eileen is friendly and helpful but discreet, check in and out was easy. The Back Page bar just across the road is excellent, great food and lovely staff, perfect if you've had a busy day and want something good and close to the flat.

Alan's place was perfect for my son's (21) and my first trip to Dublin. Alan greeted us when we arrived and helped us get acquainted with the home and loaned us adapters, umbrellas, and Leap cards for the bus system. Rathgar was a beautiful neighborhood! Quiet for sleeping and safe for night walks after dinner, with restaurants and grocery store just minutes from the home. I also discovered it is only a 9 minute walk from the birth home of James Joyce. The set up of the 2 bedrooms gave my son and I plenty of space away from each other, as we had different activity schedules. I was there to celebrate Ulysses on Bloomsday and my son enjoyed the energy of the Temple Bar scene. Getting to Central Dublin was a breeze with the bus stops a short walk away. I highly recommend Alan's place!

Location, location, location. We stayed at Helen's apartment for 4 nights in June 2025. First off, Helen was very communicative and extremely friendly in her messages before we arrived. She met us at the meeting place and gave us an informative overview of the area and tour of the property. We were 4 adults and the property was very comfortable. The bedrooms / beds were comfortable as well. A nice central room with dining table and couches - and a kitchen with dishwasher / washer / dryer and microwave. We appreciated the Nespresso machine. Although we didn't cook ourselves (with all the take-away options and pubs nearby), the kitchen was well stocked with condiments, etc.,. The bathrooms were clean and functional. However what is really impressive about the property is the location. Right across from Christchurch with airport and local bus connections. Walkable to all the sights like Temple, Trinity, Liffey, the Liberties, Guiness / Roe & Co. And views from the bedrooms!

Excellent location in one of Dublin's most interesting neighbourhoods. Close to many attractions such as the Guiness Storehouse, St. Patrick's Cathedral and Christchurch. There are two cafes right across the street and a lovely local pub called the Liberty Belle where Tracy will happily teach you the perfect "Guiness pour". Also conveniently close to Heuston train station. The apartment itself is spacious and comfortable with all necessary amenities in great working order.

Steve is a rock star of Airbnb hosts. He is proactive, warm, provides a wealth of worthwhile recs, and greets you upon arrival and reviews everything about the house and area. Wow. He was accommodating with our schedule, which we really appreciated. He left some snacks and the house was stocked with essentials. When I emailed, he responded ASAP. Amazing. The apartment is sweet and has a charm. Highlight was the patio as we were blessed with beautiful weather. Loved the sauna! The apartment building itself is worn as is the staircase in the building and the stairwell. Feels like typical city living, but the area is great and easily walkable to most things. Furthest walk was the jail at 30 min but otherwise most things about 15, and Guiness Storehouse is around the corner. Grocer, great bakeries and coffee shops right out the door. All in all, an excellent stay.

Super helpful and friendly host! Clean and lovely place. Would 100% recommend

Peaceful and homey place to stay out of the bustle of Dublin town centre. Hosts were very accommodating and so gracious in allowing me to stay longer when I fell ill at the end of my trip — a responsive host always makes a difference! It is a simple, real living apartment with some quirks to get used to, but perfect for a quiet respite and close to good stores for grocery, meds and coffee. Easy to get to all the sights by bus or a long stroll.

great airbnb for a quiet stay outside of Dublin center!

We stayed at Diarmuid’s place for three days while in Dublin. We found it exceptionally clean and comfy. The location was in a quiet neighborhood, with the exception of football games in the field next door, those Irish children can sure cheer, lol. It was about 4 klms to Temple Square/Downtown, we walked it the first day, and some of it other days. You can take # 13 bus right outside the apartment, which brings you right downtown, take that one back as well.

Great place in Dublin within walking distance to some nice local places to eat and drink and a nice walk into the city centre also. very friendly and helpful. would stay again

It was amazing. The location is perfect.

Claire’s place was great! It’s close to many Dublin attractions was quiet and comfortable each night. Claire was very responsive and helpful throughout the check-in and checkout process. We had issues with getting online after landing in Ireland, and she was very quick to reply and help us get checked in.

Great place to stay for a few days. Very walkable neighborhood. A lot of restaurants, pubs, and shops. You definitely don’t need a car. Metro bus right at door stop. Taxi’s everywhere. Great area.

Great experience, Mark was great with clear communication, and instructions to get inside which made checking in a breeze. The apartment is in a great location & a short walk to anywhere you need to get in the city. It's also close to public transport for airport / bus / transfers.

I had a great time staying at Muriel and Tom's place. They are amazing hosts and very helpful when it comes to discover the area which is walking distance to Blessington and a bus stop next to the house. As I was travelling with my bicycle, they provided space in their garage for storage in which I want to thank them for arranging it. Their place was well-furnished and very clean. Overall, I felt like at home during my stay and I would choose this place if I ever visit the region again.
