Beachfront vacation rentals in Achill Island

Dave's cottage was cozy and very peaceful, with a wonderful view of the sea and a nicely isolated setting. We enjoyed the fireplace every night. Dave provided clear instructions to access the cottage and was very helpful throughout our stay. We also appreciated the sheep grazing around the cottage. We definitely recommend this place!

Absolutely stunning location!!!!! We spent an entire morning climbing on the peninsula, looking in the tide pools, watching the otters play, and seabirds fly. The sheep near by could be seen and heard and I couldn't imagine a more beautiful spot. It was a short drive to Kylemore Abbey and the national park. The shear sense of serenity and freshness was invigorating. The beds were comfortable and the living room was well stocked with reading material for a peaceful evening. My group has already discussed coming back for a longer stay just to enjoy the coastline more.

Geralyn was a great host and went above and beyond to cater to our needs. We received a bottle of wine during our stay as we had recently married, which was lovely. I would recommend this spot to anyone. It overlooks the sea and has all the modern features of any new cottage.

Amazing location by the sea, lovely to watch the island ferries coming and going from the pier, from the comfort of the sunroom. We were unlucky with the weather but the views of the wild sea were stunning and the house is very spacious, we never felt cramped, even after a few days of being indoors. It’s a very well-equipped house and so relaxing, not burdened with loads of rules, just a few basic sensible requests. And it’s dog friendly, always important! Nicky answered our few queries promptly. Looking forward to staying again, the sooner the better!

Karen is an amazing host. Her place is tidy and spotless. All the appliances work perfectly. It matches the description in the app. The BnB is easily accessible with public transport and is 5 mins walk away from the pubs, restaurants, and the grocery stores. You can also walk to the beach. Karen was kind to allow us a late checkout because our bus got delayed. Her living room has the most stunning view of the sea.

Following a stunning week’s weather to top It all, this lovely home was a treat, spotless and well equipped, comfortable and spacious. Great location, perfect for families to enjoy with beautiful local beach nearby. Local shop/ pub within walking distance with others in nearby Gweesalia or Bellmullet. Golfing, fishing, boat trips in the locality, easy reach to Ballina. Great communication from the owners, easy check in, we would definitely return on another occasion.

If you want a place out of the way but with access to everything with ease, this is the place to visit. Barbara is the best host you could wish for.

An idyllic camping spot - nice hiking and swimming in this area - located beside a lovely pub with great hospitality - overall a lovely experience

We had such a lovely stay at Mary’s home. It’s right in the middle of town so you were never more than a 5 min walk to anything you needed. It was a comfortable space, with enough beds for all our needs and a cozy living room for us to hang out. Would absolutely come back.

The place was absolutely beautiful, although it is a shared property, it felt extremely private and we never even ran into the other residents. Elaine/Kenneth are extremely thoughtful; they had the house so clean and tidy and even put a Happy Birthday cake in the fridge for us before our arrival as we had specified it was a Birthday trip away. Achill is an absolutely beautiful place and is only 15 minutes away from the property by car (the furthest part of the island being approx. 50 minutes away). Thank you so much for our stay and the many memories from such a beautiful place in the world. We hope to be back in coming years.

Very comfortable. Beautiful surroundings and view. Didn’t want to leave.

We had a brilliant stay in Greengarden Cottage. Maria was an excellent host. Thank you Maria.

3rd year in a row we've stayed. It really is an unbeatable place with great views, so close to the beach and everything is in walking distance. If you do want to adventure then there are many attractions within 50km. The house is immaculate with amazing carpets to walk on that makes it so cosy to stay in.

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

The location of this house is absolutely phenomenal - right on the beach with views from the house directly onto Emlagh beach and the bay. House is surrounded by nature, animals and perfect for sea swimming, walking and enjoying the great Connemara outdoors. The house has everything you would need for a comfortable stay. Beds are comfortable. The decor is a little tired. Regardless we had a wonderful time and would love to come back! Thanks for a great stay.

Lovely apartment, great host, excellent location. Everything was perfect.

Great location, warm house with loads of space. playroom was ideal for toddlers

Cosy paradise with breathtaking views I could write an essay on how much I loved my stay here. While the house is absolutely stunning, beautifully decorated and really spacious, the star of the show is the view - WOW. Sitting on the big comfy chair with a good book and a glass of Prosecco is what dreams are made of. So breathtaking. The house is directly across the road from the beautiful 5km beach and a few mins walk from kids activities and shops and restaurants. The bedroom on the top floor is likely the one you will all be fighting for. En-suite, stunning view and even has its own little dressing room. I couldn’t recommend this place more. We loved it so much we extended our trip by 2 nights. As lovely as the pictures are - they absolutely do not capture how fabulous this house is and how spectacular the views are.

Collanmore Island Lodge is unreal, couldn't recommend it more! We had the best stag weekend ever here and Ciaran is a absolute gent. Getting to the island is easy and exciting, beds are comfy and facilities are top notch. Ideal for big family gatherings or any type of West of Ireland getaway. I will be back again for sure, thank you Ciaran and your great team.

What a fantastic spot. We were 4 golfers and we each had a lovely bedroom with comfortable beds. We could see the golf course from the apartment. All Pubs and restaurants could be waked to and the beach was across the road. Fantastic place and we will be back.
