Beachfront vacation rentals in Ireland

We stayed as a family for a week and we loved staying in a mobile home. Our kids loved the novelty of it. It's very well equipped and Mary was a very responsive host. There's a tiny little rocky beach near the mobile. The boat to Beara is also nearby, you can walk to the pier. There's loads to do in the vicinity if the weather is nice. We loved the beach in Allihies, and also Dunboy woods which is just out of town. It's a bit out of town so you'd definitely need a car. There's a garage/spar about 3 km up the road, that's the closest shop. Castletownbere is about 5 mins away and has a Supervalu and lots of little shops and restaurants. We found two that we loved, Murphys and the Lobster place, both delicious and reasonable. Would go again!

The Nissen Hut is a fabulous little spot for a couples get away. Right on the water, it was a pleasure to sit out and admire the views from the comfort of its deck, or cosy inside the hut itself with the fire on. Evelyn was extremely communicative throughout our stay, with helpful local recommendations or just checking in that we were ok. The hut itself is beautiful, with everything you could need for a short stay. Comfortable bed, beautiful fire, lovely location what more could you ask for! We were blessed with the weather during our stay managing to take in the beautiful walk up to Portally Cove to watch the seals (you can join the walk from right outside the front door!) and then have a kayak in Rathmoylan Cove where my husband caught a huge seabass! Thanks again, and we will definitely be back!

This was our second annual week-long stay in Coolacloy. My only concern is whether I'll be able to reserve it for next year!

We had the most incredible week! The house is just beautiful and full of everything you need. It was very comfortable and warm. The location is amazing with so much wildlife to enjoy. Really can not recommend it enough would love to return in the near future!

Beautiful peaceful place that’s situated magnificently for touring the area. Accommodation is perfect for 1 or 2 and my dog was very welcome. I will definitely go back

The creativity cabin is a wonderful home away from home. There is gorgeous mountain and sea views and plenty of opportunities to see the nearby wildlife. Anne is an outgoing and friendly host who is also very respectful of guests privacy. The cats are also wonderful :)

Second time staying at the Lazy Acre! Always a great time staying in this lovely home. Great location (ten-minute walk from the town centre or Celtic Ross), close to the beach (Warren Beach), peaceful and very clean. The house can fit a group of seven people for a weekend. Booked the Lazy Acre again for the Rosscarbery Surf Turf and Tar. Anne and Gerry are lovely hosts, as always. Very responsive, respectful and very helpful with recommendations. Can’t wait to book it again for next year.

I absolutely love the location of the house. My dogs love it too. Perfect place to relax with lovely views. This was our second year to stay and will definitely be back again. Everything you need Paivi has thought of it 🤗

We had a lovely time the setting is beautiful and the sea views outstanding. Very peaceful.

This location was stunning and was the perfect setting for a well needed relaxing time with my family. The house was clean and had everything we needed!! We couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience!! We highly recommend for anyone who just wants an easy, clean, and relaxed visit to the west coast of Ireland. The ocean walk was wonderful and we hope to come back!

Outstanding view from the living room window, so modern, clean and spacious. Walking distance to the town and right facing the funfair and beach, the apartment was overall beautiful so clean and fresh, Ian was a lovely host and very easy to communicate with. Will definitely be recommending to others and will 100% be back thank you Ian for a wonderful stay!

2nd time down in 2 weeks.. what a beautiful area of the world, so peaceful. The mobile home was just as I wanted, spotless and felt right at home.. couldn't ask for more than what we had, beautiful stay and beautiful area. definitely recommend

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

Absolutely beautiful part of the world, made better by perfect weather, so many outdoor adventure options. Will be back.

100% recommend this place if you are looking for a relaxing getaway. The location was perfect with a beach practically at your doorstep. A good selection of movies to watch and the stove at night was so peaceful and warm. A game board was also provided which gave us hours of fun. Such a nice break from everything. The hosts couldn’t have been nicer and gave us many recommendations and checked in to see if everything was okay many times. The bed was very big and comfy. Everything was perfect and clean, would definitely recommend!

We had a great time with the family in an exceptional setting and a house that is just as exceptional! We were hosted very well and did not lack anything. We'd love to come back if the opportunity arises. Alain and Elisabeth

Myself and family,6 adults 2 children spent a weekend here, everything about this property was absolutely amazing, the house was very modern and furnished to an exceptionally high standard, the beds were super comfortable, as in deed was the soft furnishings, and all the modern kitchen appliances, all off this made for a very pleasant and memorable weekend, and of course the proximity to the beach and its stunning views, and finally to our host who was very welcoming and helpful at all times,could not give this property and its location any higher recommendation, if in donegal look it up,

Barbara was a great host. The house was perfect come rain or shine. The Spar shop in Carraroe is only 5 minutes away and was as good as any medium sized supermarket with great choice. Don’t miss the Realt pub if you want a good pint of Guinness

Amazing and unique experience with incredible waterfront views. Saoirse was very welcoming prior to our trip and checked in frequently before we arrived. Her instructions were clear and the house was immaculate, well-equipped, and beautifully decorated. We felt like we were at home the minute we walked in the door, and were blown away with the amenities and views. The house is a short walk from the beach/boardwalk and the town center, but you don't even have to leave the house to have a great experience here.

An elegant house in a truly beautiful location. Our whole family (toddlers to grandparents) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lough Hyne. Tim, the property manager, could not have been more helpful and responsive to any requests. Missing it already and definitely would stay there again another year!

we had a to leave a day early but would have loved to have finished my stay. it was so relaxing

Fabulous Stay in Ballycotton, East Cork! I had an great experience staying at this charming Airbnb by the harbour in Ballycotton. The location is absolutely picturesque — waking up to the serene views of the harbour was an unforgettable experience. The host was incredibly welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The space itself was beautifully designed, with cozy yet modern touches throughout. Everything was immaculately clean, and we appreciated the well-equipped kitchen and comfortable living areas. Ballycotton itself is a lovely village, and we enjoyed leisurely walks along the harbour, beaches and coastal trails There are also some great pubs and restaurants in the area where you can enjoy fresh seafood and local dishes. This was the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking to explore East Cork or just unwind by the sea.

Don’t spend another minute looking and book this beautiful house with the most impressive Atlantic views ever. We loved Barbara‘s home. It was close to Clifton town and perfect for any touring around the Conamara region. It was in a quiet secluded area with killer views and a private beach that my kids loved. I will miss waking up to this view every morning. Thank you for an amazing experience in Connamara.. Clodagh the host were very responsive with instant replies. Thank you and we will come back again someday.

Fantastic find, a real unique stay in a property with lots of character! Most certainly would recommend.
