We really enjoyed our stay at this stylish apartment. It was very comfortable and very warm, and full of all the creature comforts one expects from a home away from home. Needless to say the property was spotlessly clean on our arrival and is very easy to keep clean. The kitchen is excellently equipped with everything one could need (including large mugs for that morning cup of tea - a pet hate of mine renting properties is to find only tiny coffee cups). Our two girls loved playing in the gardens and on the beach, and the proximity to excellent public transport was a real bonus. There is an excellent collection of books and dvds for those quite nights in too! We saw some beautiful sunrises from the balcony, which is acutally very private and not overlooked. In fact watching the sun rise in our pyjamas with a big mug of tea became one of the surprise delights of the holiday. The owner met us on arrival and showed us around. Apart from that, we were left completely undisturbed, save that any queries we had were answered immediately. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this property. We look forward to returning.Recommended for: People with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

This is a very nice apartment that one should consider if they are touring on the eastern side of Ireland. It has a great location just south of Dublin situated for easy rail or private vehicle travel. The owners are very responsive and easy to communicate with.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

This location is perfect for traveling to the small areas within Dublin County and to get to the main train station to travel to other areas. Easy to hop on the train across the street and try out different areas and new resturants and sites. The beach is right across the street as well and is very popular. The apartment is beautiful and spacious and filled with books to help with navagating Ireland. Everyone was very friendly and the area felt very safe Owners are very responsive. We loved this trip and will likely visit here againRecommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

I would highly recommend this beautiful apartment to anyone wanting to stay in the Dublin area. It looked even better than the pictures posted. The apartment was very clean and the kitchen had everything you could need and more. The water view from the apartment will take your breath away. We even saw dolphins jumping in the bay. We did not meet the owners, but via texting and phone were well taken care of re any questions we had. We did not have a vehicle and so used the Dart exclusively to get around. It was just across the street, so could not be more convenient. The Dart takes about 25 minutes to Dublin. There is a nearby quaint village called Dalkey that had many shops, restaurants, etc. Beautiful walks in the area as well. This apartment will help to make your Ireland vacation even more memorable. We were sorry to have to leave.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

This elegant property is conveniently located on killiney beach. A 20 min dart ride into the heart of Dublin or a 20 minute drive to explore the Wicklow Mountains! The property itself has a stunning kitchen, warm fireplace, high ceilings and marble floors -- VERY WELL appointing in every aspect! VERY VERY comfortable property! The photos do not do this property justice.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

This apartment was a great home base to see the Eastern side of Ireland because of the convenience of using the Dart train system. It was only a short walk from the Dart to the apartment. The apartment was beautiful in every way, quality throughout. We have stayed in wonderful apartments and homes throughout the world through VRBO, and this was the nicest of them all. The view was spectacular, as was the decor. Marble in the bathroom, wood counters, lovely pictures on the walls, just top notch all the way. The owner was very helpful, kind and a great support. We highly recommend this apartment to others. Enjoy!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

It is not too often that you get a sea view like this in Dublin. We were in Dublin for a week to attend a family reunion and this apartment really hit the spot. We had two kids (6 + 1) and a granny in tow and the large two bed apt coped very well. It was spotlessly clean and the owners were on hand if there were any issues (which there were not). The description is accurate but the photos dont do it justice. It was bigger than expected and when the sun was shining the view from the balcony was beautiful. Killiney beach is no more than 2/3 minutes walk from the apt. The Dart rail link to Dublin is literally across the road but you do not get disturbing train noise at all. Driving to Dublin is easy and the mountains and the beaches of County Wicklow are also very accesible by car. I will definitley use this property again and would not hesitate to recommend it to friends.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children.

My wife and I stayed here for a week along with our toddler and it was absolutely perfect. The setting is beautiful - the beach is literally across the street, there are gorgeous views of the sea from the apartment, and the nearby town of Dalkey is picturesque and full of charm. We began our day each morning with a long walk on the beach, and often popped into Dalkey afterwards for a late breakfast or early lunch. There's a train station across the street as well, and from it the journey into Dublin takes only 20 or 30 minutes. We also rented a car during our visit and the apartment is within easy reach of a number of main arteries striking north, south and west. The apartment itself is beautifully appointed and full of modern conveniences. We were there in November and particularly enjoyed the gas fireplace and large soaking tub. The kitchen is equipped with state-of-the-art appliances and cooking facilities and because of it, and the comfortably large dining room, we were able to entertain friends for dinner. Finally, the owners were extremely welcoming and helpful at every turn. We would recommend this apartment without hesitation. We ourselves will likely rent it again on our next trip to Ireland.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

This apartment is fantastic! To be honest the pictures posted do not do the property justice. Finding relaxation here should not be a problem. The rooms were larger than expected, and the bathrooms were large and clean. The kitchen was huge and open, a perfect place to cook some quality family meals. And you can enjoy your meal at the dinner table overlooking the ocean from your window. Very nice!! Although we stayed in the colder October weather, the beach was still a great escape at only a very short walk away. The property security officer is one of the nicest guys we met on our entire euro trip. Also we stayed without a vehicle and we still able to get around just fine by the use of the DART. If you are coming from the airport by taxi, make sure the driver has a gps and you have the address of the property because this place can get a little tricky to find for those not fimiliar with that area. So, for those seeking a nice and relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle that is Traveling, I highly suggest this property. And one last thing....the small town of Dalkey (one DART stop away) makes a great place to meet the locals and immerse yourself in some good ole fashioned pub culture. Have fun, we sure did!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.

The views from this apartment are gorgeous. Open the windows and let in the sea air! My family and I stayed for a week in June (2010.) The owners were very helpful as were the staff on site. When we arrived everything was clean and well-maintained. The DART is just across the street and so convenient to get to Dublin and other places. Dalkey is close by for shopping and some good pubs for grabbibg a bite. We liked The Queens Restaurant, great with kids and good food. We hope to return!Did you find this review helpful?

our stay in Killiney was perfect! This was due mostly in part to the owners of the apartment. They were so gracious and helpful in every way. There were a couple of mishaps during the beginning of our stay and the owners were easily accessible and did everything they could to help and fix the problems. The apartment is clean, elegantly furnished and well stocked with all of the comforts of home. The gated entry, elevator and spectacular view were fabulous. Having the DART within walking distance was great and it made my travels to and from my conference a breeze. It is well worth the trip and I hope to return with my family very soon.Recommended for: Families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.

We spent a week in this gorgeous apartment and we never wanted to leave! The location is perfect with spectacular views of the water! We rented a car although it was not necessary. The apartment is only a few steps away from the DART station and we took the easy 20 minute train ride into the centre of Dublin almost every day. On the days when we didn't go into Dublin we explored the quaint picturesque villages nearby. The kitchen is a cook's dream. We loved shopping at the local butcher's shop, bakery and green grocer for ingredients to make spectacular meals that we enjoyed eating outside on the patio overlooking the sea. We would highly recommend this apartment!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
