About this property
Private coastal space, adjoining family home- with sea views
We welcome you to stay at our bright coastal space, in the heart of Furbo village, on the Wild Atlantic Way. We offer an authentic Irish experience as our apartment adjoins our family home, where we live with our two children, dogs, rabbits and chickens. 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.
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 shower room is modern and clean with walk in shower and complimentary toiletries are included.
The private deck opens out onto our fully enclosed family garden with mature trees and lawn, with fun for any kids with swings and climbing frame.
Whilst the apartment forms part of our family home it remains separate with its own private entrance and no open access from the main house. It is fully equippped so you can enjoy total privacy and independence during your stay.
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.
On the grounds is my art studio and gallery, you're welcome to pop in and say hi and learn more about my work. @joycemichelleart
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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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!!
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.
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.
We both had a wonderful 1 year wedding anniversary stay here! Joyce was a fantastic host and made us and our 2 dogs feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The mountains and ocean was visible from our bedroom in the distance.
The apartment was spotless clean. Joyce had champagne and an anniversary card on the kitchen table when we arrived which we thought was a very kind gesture. Padracin pub and restaurant was a 5 minute walk from apartment, their food and drink was top notch!
Galway city was a short 20 minute drive, which was handy. We explored one of the Arran islands (inis mor), it was only a 30 minute drive to the docks. Highly reccomend staying at this apartment, we’ll hopefully get a trip out again sometime

Beautiful apartment attached to main family home. Perfect for two. Lots of privacy and use of large family garden. Short walk from beach and 20 minute drive to gakway
The apartment was very well appointed, well maintained and super clean. Also, close to Galway. The hostess, Joyce could not be more accommodating! You'll notice amazing oil paintings on the walls- these are done by Joyce herself! If you feel inspired, you can get a painting class from her. She is a wonderfully enthusiastic and encouraging teacher!
The property location is excellent in easy walk of a beautiful beach and a gastro pub. The apartment is so lovely pristine and modern with a fully equipped kitchen and beautiful bathroom. The hosts were so friendly and we had use of a private patio in the garden. We had our little dog with us and he really relaxed. Will definitely book again.
we received a very warm welcome. the apartment is lovingly furnished and very clean. the beds are made and towels are also provided. the kitchen is complete and well equipped. The garden and the terrace invite you to relax. the host can be reached at any time and replies to e-mails immediately even before arrival. the house is quiet and yet with good connections to Galway directly on the wild atlantic way. you can make many trips and activities from here. There is a folder in the house with recommendations and tips. I can only recommend this apartment
Joyce ist eine sehr herzliche und freundliche Gastgeberin, die uns tolle Tipps für Ausflüge in die Umgebung gegeben hat. Wir haben unseren Sohn besucht, der in Galway ein Auslandsemester macht, und die kleine Stadt Furbo, welche direkt am Wild Atlantic Way gelegen ist, war ein super Ausgangspunkt, um sowohl nach Galway zu fahren als auch schöne Ausflüge in die Natur zu unternehmen. Das Appartment ist sehr sauber, gemütlich und komfortabel eingerichtet. Die Dusche war schön warm mit gutem Wasserdruck und es gab eine Fußbodenheizung. Der Supermarkt ist in 5 Minuten erreichbar. Auch unser kleiner Hund Lotti hat sich pudelwohl gefühlt und war herzlich willkommen. Immer wieder gerne :-)!
Toller Empfang durch Joyce mit vielen Tipps für schöne Ziele und gutem Essen in der Umgebung. Schöne helle, sehr saubere Wohnung. Fußläufig ist ein Pub direkt am Strand erreichbar, das Essen war vielseitig und gut. Der Bus nach Galway hält direkt neben der Wohnung vor der Kirche. Dies war die beste von drei Unterkünften für uns. Die Straße nebenan ist nachts ruhig, am Tag gut befahren. Lieben Dank für alles Joyce!
Very well situated, this nice, spacious and quiet appartment is very well arranged too. It is easy to find, not overlooked, you'll spend a great time here ! Ce logement clair et spacieux a tout pour plaire ; nous comptons bien y retourner car il est très bien situé et la région est très attachante !
We had a great stay in this nice and very comfortable apartment near Galway. A great spot for daily trips and the host is a very friendly, helpful person.
We had a lovely experience at this property, exactly what we needed, such a worm welcome, such a clean and beautiful apt and the views and surroundings just amazing!
