Large Beach House Rental in County Galway, Ireland

Ireland beach house vacation rental beach view
The setting is breathtaking. The house is on the water’s edge.   You can watch the crashing waves from almost every window.  There are clear views of little grassy islands (you can walk to one of them during low tide).  Set on 11 acres, the property is unencumbered by close neighbors and has direct access to a sandy beach.  This is a perfect property for a large group of sea-loving people.

Upon arrival, the first impression is of the sea, its changing colors and sounds.  Then one notices the sky.  Then the house.

Ireland beach house vacation rental near Clifden, the Connemara, County Galway
The large eat-in kitchen was designed for the days when this was a B&B.  All stainless steel, the kitchen has professional quality appliances, but it's not intimidating or difficult.  There is  a smallish dining area for early risers or children's early supper.  The kitchen, too, has views to the water and the rolling hillside.  There's an adjacent utility  room with a large freezer.
All of the bedrooms are homey and comfortable.  Four bedrooms each have a standard double bed and three bedroms have twin beds.  All bedrooms have en suite bathrooms except for one that has an adjacent bathroom.   The decor is warm and bright.  Floors are wood.  Many have sea views.

There is direct access to a sandy beach.  At the front of the house, facing the sea, is a paved sitting area that used to be the car park.  This is a fine spot for a barbecue, ball games, dancing, weddings or just sitting and watching the sea.
