Waterfront apartment rentals

Spacious apartment overlooking a fantastic park.
We were visiting for the Rugby and as such this location was perfect. 10 to 15 minutes walk from both Dublin city centre and the Aviva Stadium. From the outset Frieda the host was really helpful and friendly, offering lots of advice and proactively checking everything was OK. The square where the apartment is located is very pleasant and we felt very safe. All in all given the location and the fact that a major sporting event was taking place the value for money was very good.

New! Stunning City Apt - Walk Everywhere !
I can absolutely recommend this air BNB for anyone staying in Dublin. The apartment was clean and tidy. The neighbourhood is safe and the city centre is only a 20 minute public transport ride away. There is a good Pub directly below the apartment building but it’s still quiet in the evening.

Secluded and spacious apartment
very well located. Accessible directly by dublin express. you can visit anything on foot very quiet. playground next door good sofa bed i recommend it.

Superb Bellevue 1-bedroom apartment
The accommodation was very comfortable, just as described. Only 10 minutes by taxi from Temple Bar. The host Andrius was very flexible, helpful, and thoughtful. He even waited for us until 1 a.m. for check-in without charging extra!!! So kind!! If I may give a small suggestion, considering the city’s humidity and the difficulty in drying things (since the bathroom radiator wasn’t working), it would be great to have one towel per person per day, and maybe a small hairdryer for us women. Everything was perfect!

Seaside Retreat
We had a fantastic stay at Max’s place! Max is a great guy - super welcoming, friendly, and always helpful whenever we had questions or needed tips. From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The apartment itself was clean, cozy, and perfectly located to explore Dublin. It’s also a great base for day trips to the beautiful surrounding areas, like the stunning cliffs of Howth. We’d definitely come back and can highly recommend staying here!

Seafront apartment, Clontarf, Dublin 3
John’s apartment was perfect for our three adults. We loved the location - great food and coffee and pubs within quick walking distance. The view of the water and the promenade for walking and biking is just great and you can even swim across the street, if cold water is your thing. Highly recommended.

Everything at your doorstep!
Absolutely amazing apartment in a great location. Check in was super easy and Kristofor was more than happy for us to have an earlier check in time than Stated due to our early flight time.

Waterfront Interior Designed Luxurious Apartment
We loved our stay here in Dublin. The location overlooking the water is absolutely beautiful. We felt that we could get to where we wanted to go on foot or with the train, DART, bus and Uber/taxi. Bernard was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. There is a restaurant and bar below the apartment(good food!)and can be loud if you are going to bed earlier but did not keep us awake. There are also multiple coffee shops, restaurants and a grocery store in the immediate vicinity. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Airy 3 bedroom house with incredible views
Andrew’s place is amazing. Drinking coffee looking out at that view is what dreams are made of. Myself, my husband, and our three boys stayed there. There was plenty of room for all of us and lots of toys for the boys! My older two especially loved the bunk bed! The location is amazing as well. It’s a 10 minute walk (faster if you’re not walking with toddlers) to Howth Harbor. It’s also a nice walk away from Claremont beach! We loved every minute here and were sad to leave.

Beautiful detached 4 bed home. Ranelagh, Dublin 6
Great location and home for a family or larger group. Nice neighborhood that is very walkable to restaurants, LUAS, and busses. Hosts were very accommodating and responsive when we had questions. Unlocking and locking the door was a little challenging - perhaps more detail up front would be helpful. The home itself was a spacious ground floor with dining room, living room, and lovely outdoor terrace with koi pond. Lots of toys available for toddlers which was helpful. Bedrooms are nicely appointed and on the smaller side.

Georgian home, seaside location
This is a lovely, spacious period house with lots of character in a great location. Nice place to stay for a family gathering with helpful hosts. This is a residential home so felt very much like borrowing someones house rather than an impersonal holiday rental. There is lots to do nearby with stylish eateries and drinkeries. 5 minutes from the sea with all year round swimming available for the hardy. There are a couple of saunas near the sea if you want to warm up too. We popped over to the James Joyce museum in a nearby tower and took the Dart into central Dublin- all very easy. Hosts were very helpful and responsive, providing plenty of support and information before check in and during stay as required. There is on site parking but the access is tricky for some cars due to angles,slopes etc (not uncommon in Dublin I understand). there is also plenty of free parking round the corner 5 minutes away. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend this place to others.

Tranquil Retreat in Historic Chapelizod
My family and I had an incredible stay at Colm's property. The house is stunning, beautifully situated by the river, creating a peaceful and picturesque atmosphere. The location couldn't be more perfect—with charming cafes and lively pubs just a short stroll away. Additionally, the convenience of having a store and a pharmacy nearby made everything even more seamless. Colm was an exceptional host, maintaining proactive and clear communication throughout. The check-in process was effortless, making us feel right at home from the start. We truly enjoyed every moment of our stay and can't wait to visit again. Highly recommend this wonderful Airbnb!

Sophisticated Seafront 3BD+Suntrap Landscaped Yard
This was probably one of the nicest places I’ve stayed in Ireland (we visit a lot). Absolutely stunning renovation. The view was amazing and James was a great host. Overall, I highly recommend staying here, but there’s a couple of things I found odd (considering the size of the house). For example, there’s no washer/dryer, ice maker/ice tray, microwave or kettle. These things would have made a world of difference.

Sea view & beach nearby, 5km to Dublin city centre
We had a fantastic stay at Nuala and Adrien’s place! Their home was welcoming, warm, comfortable, and had everything we needed—including cozy beds for a great night’s sleep. The location was perfect, just a short distance from the city center (10-15 minutes max), with beautiful water views that made it even more special. The walking path along the water is wonderful for an early morning or later evening stroll to see the tide roll in and out. Malahide and Howth are just a short taxi or bus ride away! Again, just an overall great location. Nuala and Adrien were incredibly welcoming hosts, going above and beyond by providing Leap bus passes for our use and leaving snacks along with recommendations for all the best local spots to visit. Their hospitality made our trip even more enjoyable. If you’re visiting the area, this is an absolute must-stay! Highly recommend. Thank you again to our wonderful hosts!

Country Cottage in the city
The house is really nice and everything is according to the pictures. The tram station The Point is 10-15 minutes foot walk away, so you can leave your car in the street where you can park it for free. If someone sleeps downstairs a pump is really loud when water/the toilet is used.

Modern house in vibrant coastal Glasthule.
Maureen house is very cosy and welcoming and has everything you need for a few days. It's superbly located for long walks by the sea (or swimming) fabulous restaurants and a few excellent nice places for coffee. Its also very close to public transport. Maureen was there to meet us and ready with lots of suggestions. Highly recommend this lovely house

wonderful spacious 105m2,.apt, with river views
Excellent location, spacious apartment and great view over the river. Even though in the heart of temple bar wasn’t too noisy

Modern Apartment + River Views
This was a great place to stay- a bit off the beaten track of the city Centre but very walkable (20 mins) to the tourist areas or an inexpensive cab ride. Great restaurants right across the street..local pubs or finer dining available, and a convenient store as well. The suite was exactly as described by David. He was quite helpful by sending detailed instructions on how to get into the apartment. And checked in to be sure we made it. The place felt very safe and was full of kitchen necessities such as butter, cream, spices, coffee, etc. Although the bathroom was small, it was all that was needed and included blow dryer,shampoo, conditioner, body wash. Overall the place is typical of a European flat… small but quite cute & functional! The only negative was that the couch/sofa was uncomfortable… but we spent minimal time on it, as we were out taking in the sites of the area. Would definitely recommend this as it was a nice place to call “home” at the end of a busy day. Thanks D & E

2 Bed, Stylish City Apartment, in D1 Dublin
Thanks for the lovely stay, Clo! It was great meeting you and we very much appreciated the extra time you took to make us feel comfortable by meeting us at the airport and explaining the instructions in detail. The space was very accomodating and perfect for our short stay in Dublin. We loved the dog photos as well. :)

Unique apartment | Temple Bar | On The River
We’ve previously stayed in some lovely hotels in Dublin but this experience was far better. Views over the river Liffey, kitchen facilities, balcony etc. Exactly as described and right in the centre (but quiet), perfect!

Private stunning 1 bed apartment with sea views.
Great location for walking the sea front, onto Clontarf village for restaurants and on the bus route for going in town. Well stocked with all the supplies we needed but it was very warm and sheets vs duvet would have been a welcome addition. We were just lucky with a warm spell.

Lovely Two Bedroom Apartment on The Riverfront
Pat was responsive and very accommodating. I can’t imagine a more convenient location in Dublin if you’re wanting access to the city center.

Lovely Dublin Apartment convenient location
The apartment is really lovely, cozy and full of character, thanks to Dana's great attention to detail. It's in an excellent location close to the city center and the main points of interest. The view of the Liffey and the sounds of the seagulls make you feel the full atmosphere of the port city that is Dublin. Dana is incredibly thoughtful and always ready to respond to any needs. It was a wonderful and unforgettable experience! Highly recommended!

Large Stylish, Bright & Luxurious 2 Bed Apartment
I really like Daniel’s place! Lovely spacious apartment (we were 3). Place was nice and clean. No hassle getting in. A walk into the city and so close to where I was working
