Waterfront apartment rentals

Apartment with great view.
This is the 5th time we’ve stayed at Domonics place. It’s in the best location if you want to be in town. On the doorstep of all the bars, restaurants and shops. The apartment is equipped woth everything you need and has the best views over the sea and mountains.

The Orchard - Refurbed Studio w views of Clew Bay
We had a lovely stay at the Orchard, the host was very responsive and helpful. Location was great, walking distance to Westport quay and the town centre. Local taxi numbers were also provided. We would highly recommend staying here to anyone and wouldn’t hesitate to book again. The location is absolutely stunning, we both took part in the half marathon, the morning of the race we walked to the start line which made our lives so much easier. It saved so much time trying to get parked and the town was very very busy.

Seaview Lodge Apartment 'Sleeping 4 Guests'
This place was absolutely beautiful - clean, bright, spacious, high quality and with truly spectacular views. It’s the perfect spot to unwind and take in the natural beauty of Donegal. The location was peaceful yet still close enough to explore nearby (Wild Ireland is a must see) towns and beaches. If you’re looking for somewhere to stay in Donegal, you honestly can’t go wrong with this place. We’d definitely love to come back - highly recommend!

Luxury apartment with great views of Cork Harbour
Thank you Aoife for such a lovely stay! The views were absolutely beautiful. The apartment felt like a home away from home and definitely made our trip. We can’t wait to return to Cobh again!

Sunset Crag - Beautiful Apartment
Had a great stay for 3 nights. Everything was as mentioned in the listing, but the photos don’t really capture the amount of space you have at your disposal. The views from the apartment are great and everything you need is within walking distance. I recommend Little Richard’s Pizza, Gerry’s Fresh Foods and Stoop Your Head (seafood restaurant on the front). Valerie left some scones, bread and milk which was very appreciated. The kitchen was well stocked and was a joy to cook in. The heating was set for certain times so we didn’t have to worry about being cold, and it was especially nice turning up on the first day to a warm place. I would defintely return to Skerries and rent Valerie’s place again.

Duplex Apartment at the Galway Docklands
We had such a great time and highly recommend staying here the next time you are in Galway! The apartment was so lovely and spacious, and conveniently located to the center of town. Michelle was a great host and very communicative, we will definitely stay here again next time we are in town.

Upper Apartment @ Buttermilk
Thanks Joanne and Alan for such a lovely stay the location and style of the apartment is just fantastic so comfortable and modern and we just couldn’t get enough of the sea views 💖 and the deep sunk bath! So close to lovely restaurants and Dunfanaghy, Downings and the gorgeous scenic sea drives

First floor, new beautiful apartment
We loved Paddy’s place, incredible view from the balcony! The property is spacious and well located, although we found parking a bit of a dilemma but all of Cobh is the same. Paddy is very generous leaving heaps of supplies & treats.

Beautiful sea-view, country cottage feel townhouse
Such a beautiful stay at the downstairs cottage!! Norita was amazing, greeted us on arrival & explained everything, had fresh eggs & bread for us & some cookies. So many lovely little touches around the house including sweets on the pillows for the kids & a beautifully made cot for my little one. Location is stunning with gorgeous views and a lovely little garden for the kids including a tree house & swing. Couldn’t recommend this place enough. Absolutely stunning 😍

The Boat House, Inish Beg Estate
We had an absolutely fantastic time here. Would highly recommend. The house was spotless, very well kept. The beds were all extremely comfortable, all with fresh linen. The view was amazing. The house is right on the water. The gardens and estate was an excellent place to go for a wander and explore. Paul was an excellent host. We cant wait to come back again

Waterfront Cottage on Wild Atlantic Way
Lourda is such a compassionate host and truly cares about her guests. She communicates as frequently as you do, and is always there for helpful recommendations and instructions. Everything, literally everything (even a fully-stocked grocery store) is just a walk away. Delicious and affordable restaurants, hiking loops, and a town steeped in Irish history. The accommodations were perfect! Cosy, comfortable, and you immediately feel at home when you walk in the door. Lourda even had special welcome home touches waiting for us in the kitchen and a wee bit of firewood ready for a fire - which we took advantage of every night. If you're lucky enough to have this place available, don't hesitate and book it as fast as you can!

Killester, Weavers Point, Crosshaven, Cork
Wow, this place is amazing. It felt like staying at a family members house. Well stocked with everything, from linen's to kitchen appliances, to hair dryer, it has everything you could ever need. It was a short, beautiful walk down to the Cross Haven village that had amazing pubs and restaurants. Special thanks to the neighbors that helped the uber find us when my phone stopped working (my fault for not getting internationally calling! ) Truly a wonderful and peaceful home for a perfect seaside vacation.

Wild Atlantic Mayo Coastal Retreat
Absolutely extraordinary place. Went with some friends and we had an amazing time. The house is breathtaking, as are the surroundings. Will be back for sure.

Stunning beach house just off Wild Atlantic Way
Such a peaceful retreat in a beautiful setting. Staying in this house was like escaping into a dream. The views were simply unreal and there were plenty of nearby sites (ring forts, beach) within walking distance. There were detailed instructions with recommendations on nearby restaurants as well. The caretaker for the home was incredibly responsive and friendly. Such a lovely home that I would happily stay at again.

Beachhouse+Hottub
This Airbnb is nestled in peaceful & beautiful surroundings. The property was absolutely spotless, cleaner than many hotels we’ve stayed in. The peaceful setting had stunning views and a gorgeous sunset which made it so easy to relax. We especially loved the hot tub. Our hosts were fantastic, offering great recommendations for activities and places to eat, helping us discover hidden gems we would have otherwise missed. Every suggestion was spot on, making our trip even more special. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely return. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Boatstrand Beachhouse
We stayed at Clodagh's beautiful house for two nights with four children and our dog, and it was absolutely perfect. The kids adored the private beach, and the house itself is full of cosy nooks — perfect for games of hide and seek and for relaxing in the evenings. The views are simply stunning, and the house is just so lovely and welcoming. Everything was immaculate, and Sean was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout our stay. I honestly can't recommend this house highly enough — we had a wonderful time and would love to return!

Lakehouse Apartment with Hot Tub and Sauna
We had a wonderful three-day stay at Mary’s place! The surroundings are beautiful, and the location is convenient with great access to the town. The price was very reasonable for everything that was offered. Even though the weather wasn’t perfect, the hot tub and sauna made our trip so much more enjoyable — they turned rainy days into relaxing afternoons. Sitting by the dock with a cup of hot tea, watching the water, was one of the most peaceful moments of our stay. Thank you, Mary, for providing such a cozy and lovely getaway!

Harbour Apartment, Dundalk
Clean apartment Fantastic host we had a few issues and he came out within 20 minutes very helpful. For us personally, it would’ve been nice to have a full length mirror and maybe some number of taxi or food menus or a bus route timetable. No wi-Fi, which was a bit of a problem if you don’t have unlimited data. If you’re there at the weekend be aware the spirit store is noisy over the weekend. Bye for all we had a very comfortable few days very homely.

Duplex Penthouse with Skyline Views in the City
Just north of the Liffey apartment is near Epic Ireland, restaurants and grocery stores. We enjoyed the harbor view and the outdoor terrace. Kitchen had everything we needed and location is secure which was important to us particularly as this was a mother/daughter trip. Host was responsive and helpful.

Harbour View Luxury 2bdrm Retreat in Heart of Cobh
Just a lovely place to stay. We love Cobh and it is a great location to visit Cobh, Cork, Blarney castle and much more.

Harbour Mill Westport apartment.
Catherine was excellent. Proactive, and communicative from start to finish. Location is excellent for exploring Mayo, Connemara, Achil Island. A landscape that it is impossible to grow tired of IMO. Accommodation is as described and had everything needed. Functional rather than pretentiously luxurious. Overall good value in a lovely part of a lovely country. Thank you Catherine

Stunning views of the ocean from our stylish home
Lovely apartmemt and lively host. Perfect fir a family stay. Aileen even had easter eggs for my 2 girls when we arrived. We got to surf, go to the amusememt park, go on the steam train and visit dooley's fish and chips. It was perfectly located witg a great view.

No 4 The Mill Apartments
We had a great time at Annette's place. The apartment is very comfortable, cozy and bright. It is also very well equipped. The view is splendid, and the hosts' recommendations are to be followed!

Harbour View Killybegs 3 bed apartment
A lovely apartment that was spotlessly clean and fresh. Super comfortable beds and great showers. Thanks for the lovely arrival surprise of some Hot Cross Buns! The location is excellent and there are plenty of places to eat -we had amazing seafood at Andersons Boathouse Restaurant which is just around the corner and a gorgeous breakfast at Mrs B’s. Hoping to return in the Summer for a longer stay!
