Waterfront vacation rentals in Achill Island

We stayed in 6 other places around Ireland before arriving in Newport. Mary and Phil’s place felt so comfortable right away! Lots of space, fully equipped kitchen, comfortable bed, great bathroom. Nice quiet view of the river with a balcony. Easy parking and walkable to town. Kelly’s Kitchen was great for breakfast, and the Gráinne Uaile bar had awesome trad music! Mary and Phil were full of ideas for where to go for music and what to do on rainy days. So appreciated!

Great communication with Sinead. Very functional studio, in a good location in Clifden (restaurants, supermarkets nearby) and in Connemara. Our stay was very nice.

Perfect hosts, lovely accommodation, stunning views of coast, sunsets and sheep farms. Would highly recommend this stay. The apartment was well equipped, comfy beds, lovely big towels and well insulated. A short drive to the beach, Croagh Patrick, Westport and an hour from Connemara national park. A very special trip and lovely memories made!

We enjoyed a wonderful stay here, the communication with Ciaran and Rachel was great, lots of good recommendations. We were in Westport to climb Croagh Patrick, easily accessible from this property and a great base for exploring around Westport. The location is excellent, easily walkable into the centre of Westport and a lovely walk through the grounds of Westport House as well. A well equipped kitchen and we really loved the turntable and selection a vinyl, if you are staying here and can bring some of your own vinyl with you do it.

Great place, great location great hosts definitely recommend as as an beautiful place to stay.

Linda was a fantastic host, the apartment was large and homely. Excellent location with beautiful views. We would love to return again.

Roxy was a fanatsic host and the apartment was in the perfect location to explore Connemara or just chill in beautiful Clifden. Would definitely recommend a stay!

Great find. Looking forward to going back.

This is the perfect spot, just outside of town (10 minute drive) but absolutely gorgeous view of Croagh Patrick, lots of cows, and an even a few happy goats. There’s a big sitting room with a balcony and a large kitchen/dining area. Carmel was a wonderful host.

Beautiful home, right on the quay. Everything was seamless!

A Truly Exceptional Stay in Murrisk I can’t recommend this property highly enough! From the moment we arrived, it felt like a true home away from home. The host, Lorraine, was incredibly welcoming and thoughtful, going above and beyond to make our stay special. The house itself is beautifully presented, with luxurious bedding and towels, underfloor heating, squeaky clean and everything just right. Upon arrival, we were greeted with a delightful welcome package that included homemade scones and jam, a bottle of wine, water, and even milk—which I had forgotten to pick up at the shop. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare and so appreciated...as we're the sticks for climbing the reek! The location is absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views of Clew Bay. It’s peaceful, serene, and only a short distance from Westport. I’ve stayed in many Airbnbs over the years, but this one truly stands out for its warmth and exceptional hospitality of Lorraine. We loved our stay and will be back!

I've stayed in over 100 Airbnbs and this is by far the best. 14 of us , a mixture of adults and children stayed here over Easter. everything was amazing. once you walk in the view us breath taking. The home has evey amenity you could think of. large open space kitchen with high end everything. the underground heating is a great a touch and the house is always warm. this place is made for kids. they have a toy room which kept all of the kids entertained all weekend. perfect for a family get away. room were all clean great big size and extremely comfortable beds. most of all the hosting was the best I've received. the owners could not do anymore for us. even allowed us to stay an extra night for free as they had no booking the next day. lovely people. I really can't recommend this home enough. I for one will be a frequent visitor and I really look forward to staying again. thanks for the fantastic stay

We had a lovely stay beautiful setting by the river .The house was warm and cosy on arrival . Hugh was there to meet us with instructions on heating and Anne had left us beautiful homemade brown bread which went down very well with a cuppa after our long journey . It’s only a couple of minutes walking distance from the picturesque Cong village

We had a lovely time at Rachel’s place, the garden at the back is beautiful and the bed was super comfy. Rachel had left fresh bread, milk and butter for us, as well as fresh flowers! That’s very impressive and reflective of the level of detail provided by Rachel. The stone house is in a great location in Newport and it’s only a ten minute drive from Westport. We really enjoyed using the record player in the house ( we are 70’s kids 😂). A great stay and would definitely recommend it!

We loved our stay here. The photos don’t do justice to the location which overlooks a little sandy inlet to the front and cliffs to the side. It’s private and quiet and the house had everything we needed and more! Very responsive hosts (thank you Anne) and lovely little touches like fresh milk and treats, throw blankets and lots of information on the locality. Kitchen was the best stocked kitchen of any self catering accommodation I’ve ever stayed in. The hosts have thought of everything. Beds were comfy and the house was cosy and warm. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Great stay, in an ideal environment to recharge your batteries! very peaceful, beautiful scenery, lovely for a quiet get away. I highly recommend booking here Thanks again to Walter, for being so kind and responsive, it was a pleasure. The property had everything you could possibly need for your stay. Super comfy beds, Gorgeous views, Lovely and warm. We took walters brilliant suggestion and done a tour round the lakes, Pet Friendly, right down to a spare dog bed and towel. We couldnt have asked for better, and will be back again

Couldn’t ask for a better place and location for our first trip to Ireland Trish is perfect host We will be back for sure Thank you Chris and Kevin for the great experience!!

Kate was the perfect host, helping us out at a really difficult time. Apartment was as described, spotless and in an ideal location. Great stay and thanks once again Kate for your thoughtful and helpful approach Iain 14/4/25

Great stay in this accommodation! Everything was perfect: clean, well-organized, and very comfortable. The location is great, and the host was very responsive and welcoming. I really had an amazing time, I highly recommend it

Eileen sent a message before arrival with very clear instructions, check in very straightforward. There was tea coffee milk & biscuits on arrival. There were 4 good size bedrooms, the master bedroom is amazing. There are a lot of stairs leading up to apartment so not suitable for someone with mobility issues The lighthouse is within walking distance of local bars, restaurants, takeaways & beach. The view is absolutely stunning & if you are lucky you’ll get a fabulous sunset. We will definitely return to this amazing property again

we had a very comfortable stay. apartment is well insulated, we did not need heating at all, which was very important as my parents are from the tropics. It is in a great location, the main town is walking distance. A close drive to the Croagh Patrick, easy to see from the property whether fog is covering the mountain peak which helped us plan our travels.

Amazing property, every penny worth spending. The location is the biggest attraction, right in front of the Kylemore lake. The place was very clean and the home is very cozy.

Sèan and Ross are one of the best hosts I met on Airbnb, friendly, welcoming and super nice people! Hope we meet again!

We had a fantastic stay! The place was spotless, great size and had everything you could need. Location was peaceful with great views along the river. It was the perfect spot to use as a base to explore Mayo and also to relax and unwind with a few pubs nearby serving good food. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway
