Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Dublin Southside

I couldn't be happier with my experience. The location was fantastic, just a convenient 45-minute walk from the city center, making it easy to explore and enjoy all the attractions. Additionally, the neighborhood itself was vibrant, with numerous restaurants and pubs less than 10 minute walk away, adding to the overall convenience. The house itself was spotless and offered plenty of space. The owner went above and beyond by providing thoughtful little extras that made our stay even more enjoyable. Owner was easy to get a hold of and very responsive to any questions we had. Check-in and check-out were a breeze, making the whole experience seamless and stress-free. I highly recommend this house for anyone looking for a clean, spacious, and well-located place to stay!

We had a great stay at Ciaran’s place! The house is large and spacious with everything our family needed. The area was walkable and family friendly, yet convenient to everything in Dublin. We highly recommend this place!

What a priviledge being able to stay in such a beautifu house filled with art. The room is a dream, you fall asleep to dancing trees, in an extremely comfortable bed. The room has plenty of space, beautiful view, the bathroom is quite marvellous aswell, the shower was great, and a Billy Holliday picture! couldnt ask for more but got it, cause Kitty was the perfect hostess, perfect balance between warm and wellcoming and chill and unintrusive. Would stay there again anytime in Dublin. Thanks Kitty, a wonderful stay

Spacious, sun drenched, well stocked, and clean apartment. Great location with lots of restaurants and sights nearby. Easily walkable, but public transportation is also right outside. Would highly recommend!

In a fairly average street, James’s place opens up into a beautifully renovated & extended open plan studio set in a private back garden. Small but bright & modern with all the mod cons we needed. We were attending a music festival in Kilmainham so were able to walk there & back. We only stayed one night but would definitely book again on another trip to Dublin. James was quick to respond to our messages & all instructions were easy to follow. Would recommend this place to others.

They were the most welcoming hosts, ready with a smile and local tips. Felt so comfortable and at home throughout my stay. Definitely recommend checking out their place if you're ever in the area!

Loved it! Fabulous spot. Rock solid place, so modern and beautiful! Will definitely book it again.

We loved our stay! The house was great and so so beautiful! So many things right close by (food, bars, etc). Also totally possible to walk further into town to shops and even more restaurants and bars, etc. The beds were so comfy and the house had exactly what we needed! So much light and the bedroom in the back is AWESOME! We totally recommend staying here if you’re in Dublin! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Diarmuid is an amazing host - communication was quick, friendly, and helpful. The apartment was easy to find and all instructions were easy and simple to follow. We had an amazing stay, the apartment was clean, modern and had everything you need for a trip away. The location of the apartment is very central to the city centre and everything in walking distance. Thanks again for making our experience unforgettable.

Spacious apartment in a cool old building near the heart of Dublin. Very lively neighbourhood; surrounded by tons of pubs, cafes, etc. Alex was a great host. Would definitely stay there again!

We loved Henry’s place so much. It was so close to everything , the Dublin Castle is literally on the same road and all the restaurants and shops are a short walk away. It’s tussled in the back alley which means it was very quiet and peaceful and it was easy to access and the elevators were so convenient . We would definitely stay there again. Clean and responsive host as well.

Nice little apartment that was in a perfect location for me as I attended a conference in the hotel next door. But it is also good to explore Dublin, not far from Stephen's Green, and you have several buses stopping nearby that will get you to the city in just a few minutes. From my business trip perspective I enjoyed the stable and very fast internet connection and the desk area in the living room. Unfortunately, there is no wardrobe in the apartment, but you will find a few hangers and I used the very deep window sill to store everything else. The kitchen is nice, but I have seen other Airbnbs with a few more kitchen utensils. For me it was sufficient, but if you have higher cooking ambitions you might miss a few things. Michelle was easy to reach and very kind in making an early check-in possible as my flight arrived in Dublin in the morning. There is a small convenience store in walking distance as well as a few smaller restaurants.

Great location and clean. He responded quickly to my request.

This is a lovely, sunny, spacious apartment in a quiet, first-class building. Everything in the unit was pristine and modern. Convenient kitchen with new appliances and well-appointed bathroom. The large bedroom has generous closets, blackout curtains, and very comfortable bed. The location is unbeatable, with St Stephen’s Green, Trinity College, museums, shopping and restaurants just steps away and most major attractions within walking distance. Highly recommended.

Very cute, comfortable, and clean space that was as advertised and met my expectations. Liam was a great host, he provided information about the unit and stores in the vicinity for supplies, provided bottled water in the fridge, and clear instructions and pictures for check in/out. Would recommend. Thanks Liam!

Peter was responsive to all our questions and a great host. Please bear in mind. This Airbnb is situated on the DART rail line. and you can hear the train pass each time north and south directions.. The Airbnb is essentially located, and as the Sunnymount train station is literally a woman at walk from the front door access to all parts of the coastline north and south of the city are readily available

The perfect place to stay! It was extremely peaceful and was definitely worth it in every way!

great airbnb for a quiet stay outside of Dublin center!

This apartment is centrally located to whatever you want to do in Dublin. You can walk anywhere or hop on a bus; very convenient! Andrew answered all of my questions super quick. We enjoyed our stay!

Lovely place! Everything was as described. Plenty of space for our family of 4. Neighborhood felt quiet and very safe. I only wish it was closer to the city centre as driving was a bit nerve-wracking! John was a very responsive host who was accommodating. Would definitely recommend satyomg here!

Had the Best stay. Brian was extremely helpful and sent us info on places to go . This unit is central and so convenient, we could walk everywhere . We had a wonderful stay here . And Brian is a Fantastic host

David's place was exactly as described. Great location in the Portobello neighbourhood and was easy to get into central Dublin. Also great transportation to other areas via the bus. David was very flexible when we had to change our booking from Sept 2024 to May 2025. He was extremely welcoming when we checked in (provided a bottle of wine!) and very responsive when we accidentally locked ourselves out on the last day of our stay!! We stayed for 6 nights and appreciated the kitchen amenities and the very comfortable bed :) We would highly recommend David's place if you are travelling to Dublin.

Beautiful home with fantastic views and easy access to walkable spaces. The lively (people and dogs walking and playing along the Strand) yet peaceful area is a welcome respite from the more population dense areas of Dublin. With a little advance planning you can easily walk to the DART, the beautiful restaurants and shops surrounding the green space nearby, or just stroll down the Strand and soak in the vibrant waterfront vibes. The host is friendly and offers so much helpful information prior to your arrival so you really can’t go wrong staying here. Bring earplugs for the road noise at night in the primary bedroom, but don’t let that deter you from this waterfront location.

Sean was amazing! So helpful and friendly with everything. He was very accommodating and offered to drive us to and from public transit as we didn't have a vehicle. He was exactly what you want your host to be! Always answered quickly and gave us amazing recommendations. I would recommend this airbnb to everyone! Thank you again Sean
