About this property

Coastal self catering apartment - with sea views

We welcome you to stay at our bright and modern seaside apartment, in the heart of Furbo village, on the Wild Atlantic Way. With views of the Galway Bay, the Burren and the Aran Islands from the master bedroom this light and airy apartment offers the perfect escape for those looking for a family friendly seaside retreat.

Our private apartment accommodates 2-4 people comfortably with one king size master bedroom and one double sofa bed in the living space. Whilst the apartment is adjoining our family home it remains separate with its own private entrance and no open access from the main house.

The spacious yet cozy living area has a large double sofa that converts to a generous and comfortable double bed when needed. The kitchen/diner is spacious and bright with a dining table for four people. The kitchen is fully equipped with all the amenities you would expect for a comfortable visit, with a large fridge freezer, induction hob, microwave oven, dishwasher and Nespresso machine (for the fellow coffee lovers!).

The living space opens through double doors onto a private veranda where you can enjoy a leisurely breakfast or relaxing evening drink as it captures the morning and evening light. BBQ available on request.

The tranquil, south facing king size bedroom room has beautiful sea views extending across the burren. We will be happy to add a cot or moses basket if required. The newly renovated bathroom is modern and clean with walk in shower and complimentary toiletries are included.

If you choose to stay with us we will be pleased to offer you access to the family gym. The gym includes treadmill, cross trainer, concept2 rowing machine and 2 spin bikes, perfect for the occasional rainy day we might have here on the west coast of Ireland.

The private deck opens out onto our fully enclosed family garden with mature trees and lawn, and swings and climbing frame for the kids.

We are very happy to welcome family pets on request. However we do ask that they are child and dog friendly as we do have 2 young children and a dog at home with us here.

Our apartment is within walking distance (400 metres) from one of the best beaches in the Galway area, Furbo beach, with beautiful sandy shores and coastline walking. Furbo village has many local amenities including 2 pub/restaurants, the Connemara Coast hotel, grocery store, garage, hairdresser and beauticians, local gym and beautiful walks and cycling routes on our doorstep. We are only 5 mins drive from Barna village to the East and Spiddal village to the West...with plenty of cafes, shops and restaurants. With Galway City and all its attractions only a quick 10 minute drive and Connemara and the Aran Islands on our doorstep there is no shortage of things to do during your stay.

If there is anything you need during your stay we will be only happy to help.

All prices include:

Fully equipped kitchen (fridge/freezer, dishwasher, hob, microwave/oven, nespresso machine)
King size master bedroom and double sofa bed in living area
Access to private gym facilities
TV (one in bedroom and one in living area)

Perfect stay outside of Galway

Wonderful place to return to after a day of sightseeing, cozy and quiet. The location is perfect, a 15-20 minute drive into Galway center meant a variety of restaurants and shops were close by. Joyce was a great host, welcoming when we arrived, and she provided fun recommendations for the area.

Highly recommended

The property was well located on Galway Bay within easy reach of places to visit including great scenery, wonderful beaches and lovely cafes and restaurants. The property owner was super friendly, relaxed and helpful and made our stay all the more enjoyable - she is also a very talented artist so you may be tempted to take home a wonderful reminder of your visit as we did! The apartment was comfortable, modern and light and had what we needed to be self sufficient throughout our stay. We would definitely book again if we revisit Connemara/Galway.

Perfect accomomodation, nice host

We spent the last days of our Ireland trip at this place. It was a perfect location for either city visit in Galway, hiking tours in Connemara or just a few min. evening walk to the beach or nearby pub. We definitely enjoyed the relaxed stay in this really nice appartment. Thanks to Joyce for the warm welcome and the hiking tips.

Wonderful location

This was a wonderful place to stay while exploring Galway. Its enogh removed that you have some peace and quiet, but close enough to easily get downtown by car. The host was very kind and accommodating. The apartment was comfy and clean.

Amazing host and home - highly recommend!

Absolutely wonderful five night stay in this beautiful, warm and relaxing home. Joyce made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived and went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic vacation in her lovely home. So close to the water, restaurants and Galway. Parking on-site. Perfect location to visit the Aran Islands as well. One of the very best VRBO experiences we have had over the years - would highly recommend!!

Great apartment and wonderful area

Pristine, modern and functional. Enthusiastic welcome from Joyce , who was very helpful with info on surrounding area. She obviously takes pride in her apartment and it is well maintained. Plenty of facilities within walking distance - convenience shop, pub/restaurant and the hotel where we were attending a wedding. Highly recommended.
