Waterfront vacation rentals in Galway

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!

Brilliant stay at Malcolm’s. House was perfect and great location, will definitely be back. Malcolm was great to deal with too.

Johnstons is great! Kinvarra is such a charming town and this place is a great spot for exploring it. Lily and Richard were very easy to chat with, and had lots of great local recommendations. The apartment is huge and filled with art and posters reflecting the history of the building. It also has easily one of the best stocked kitchens I’ve ever seen in an Airbnb. And of course Aunt Agnes.

We loved our stay, the place is comfortable and ideally located. The view is amazing. Recommend

Martin’s lost was definitely in a great location and easily walkable to everything in downtown Galway. The space was super clean and very easy to access. The only tricky thing was the hot water heater. We had to find a YouTube on how to work the thing, but until we did we all had to take some cold showers. Otherwise everything was great. Would stay here again.

The place was fantastic and exactly what my wife and I needed after driving through the country side for a few days. It’s in a perfect location to walk to the city center and Quay Street for food and drinks. The balcony was perfect for watching the ships come and go and for a little bit of a view when winding down. Would recommend to anyone needing a comfy place to stay a few days in Galway.

Beautiful apartment. Great location. Great view. All windows and doors are safe for young children which is a big relief when there is a balcony. Really responsive and helpful team

Irene's place offered unmatched views in Galway. River Corrid from living room and bedrooms. Great reading nooks. We got to see the seals at highs tide (as Irene told us). She accommodated extra linen we needed and met us when we left. Quick to respond and great suggestions in her book. It was plenty space for the kiddos to play around. mind the steep steps (something to keep in mind if you have mobility issues). Overall the location and views are unparalleled. We can't wait to come back

This was a charming house steps away from the Latin Quarter. Just what we were looking for. The beds were comfortable and the dinning area and living room were perfect for our group size (6). We even had luck getting parking right in front of the house.

We loved staying in The Bakery. The Photos don’t do it justice. Spacious and pristine. Maeve was very quick to respond to any queries we had. She had also left Lindor chocolates, biscuits and fresh flowers for us which was just lovely. Roundstone is so picturesque, with a couple of lovely pubs and the walk on the nearby beaches on Christmas Day morning was just stunning. Would highly recommend staying here.

We loved our stay here! Bríd was a wonderful host, the space was beautiful and very comfortable - the perfect home base for a lovely trip. Would definitely stay again :)

We absolutely loved being able to call this place home during our visit to Ireland. Sheila and Redmond were very responsive and friendly in making sure we had everything we needed and more. The location was beautiful and conveniently walkable to the pier, shops and pubs. Our girls especially loved the little playroom - perfect for our family trip!! We’ll definitely be back!

The cottage was perfect for us. We loved the rural setting, the horses, and the small yard for our kid to play. It was a nice change of pace after staying in the city centers of Dublin and Belfast earlier in our trip. The location of the cottage is good for visiting Galway city in one direction and the Cliffs, Doolin, Burren, etc. in the other direction. It took us 1.5 hours driving from the cottage to the cliffs (one way) and 30 mins to Galway city center (one way). The cottage property feels rural, but the surrounding area seems more like a fringe suburb of Galway. The nearby town of Oranmore has lots of restaurants, a Tesco supermarket, and new housing developments, so it’s not remote or rustic (which was fine for us). We highly recommend the cottage if you’re staying in Galway but want to experience the rural side. Also, Helen and Ronan are top-notch Airbnb hosts who know what they’re doing.

We had a wonderful stay at Stormont House. The house is in a beautiful location. Very peaceful but 5 mins walk to shops. Perfect as a base for touring or just a very relaxing break. House is immaculate and very spacious. Hosts helpful and welcoming. Highly recommend!

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

Peaceful place with beautiful views out to the sea - very comfortable bed and everything you need.

A very nice, modern apartment with beautiful sea view. Amenities were sufficient. Five people will definitely be able to accommodate. Mary was very friendly and also inquired again if the check-in worked well. Only a few clothes hooks and hangers would have been desirable, as there was nothing to hang up for the jackets or towels. We will be happy to come back!!

Location, location, location! The space is a bit out dated but it was perfect for four adults in the heart of Galway. Fruit, milk, and juice on arrival was a lovely touch. Excellent communication, comfy beds, coffee, and great travel tips helped make our stay so nice.

Edel's had the best, most comfy beds and linens in Ireland. We loved the sea views from the patio and hearing the ocean waves at night. Edel directed us to the town of Ennistymon for a delightful lunch, shopping, and the Glen Walk. She is a wonderful, informative host.

We absolutely loved this spot for our time in Galway. Easy parking (if the building lot is full you can park for free across the street) and a playground right across the street. Super family friendly place and had all we needed. The fridge is smaller but was sufficient for our 4 night stay. If you would be doing lots of cooking at home, it might be a little cramped. We mostly drove into the city, but you could easily walk it as well. Absolutely can recommend this spot!

The Lane's condo was beautiful, and exactly as the pictures show. It was perfect for our family to use while in Salt Hill and Galway. The Lane was responsive when we had questions about features of the home, and very easy to communicate with.

Excellent location in the town of Killaloe. Accomodations were wonderful with amazing views.

This gorgeous boat house is in an absolutely stunning location and Gerard and Aisling were exceptional hosts who truly went above and beyond for us during our stay. We had the most relaxing weekend by the lake, so well taken care of by our hosts, and cannot wait to be back! I also recommend booking @birchwoodsauna for a lovely mobile sauna experience that parks up almost at the boat house doorstep. Truly a wonderful stay that you won't regret :)

Stayed here for 3 nights with 3 other people. Loved the place, amazing views and beautiful surroundings. Olivia was always responsive to my messages as well. I would definitely stay there again if I am in the area 😊
