About this property
Boutique Coastal Cottage on the Wild Atlantic Way
Experience Galway like a local in this charming 2-bedroom cottage with a touch of nautical charm. Nestled at the rear of the main house, the cottage is private and peaceful, with its own driveway and parking—giving you a quiet retreat away from the road while still being close to all that Galway Bay has to offer.
Inside, you’ll find everything you need for a relaxing stay. Sleep soundly in a super king bed and two double beds, all dressed in 500-thread-count Sheridan linens with Christy towels for a hotel-quality touch. A cozy living area with a wood-burning stove invites evenings by the fire, while the fully equipped kitchen and bean-to-cup coffee machine make mornings a treat. Modern conveniences include WiFi, a washing machine and dryer, and a hair dryer, plus a bathroom with both a bathtub and shower for your comfort.
Step outside to your own private outdoor space, complete with a fire table, comfortable seating, and a handcrafted wooden boat feature called An Bhanríon (“The Queen”), which gives the cottage a unique nautical character. It’s the perfect spot for your morning coffee, a quiet read, or drinks under the stars.
With its blend of comfort, privacy, and distinctive charm, this cottage is the ideal base for a memorable Galway getaway.

About the host
Hosted by Caroline Heaney
I’m from Maree, where this cottage was built and it’s a place I’ve always been proud to call home. I enjoy sharing this area with guests because it has such a special mix of community, scenery, and activities by the bay. Hosting gives me the chance to welcome people to a space that’s both comfortable and memorable, while helping them experience the best of Galway. I take pride in offering thoughtful touches and am always happy to give tips or recommendations to make each stay extra special.
Why they chose this property
I chose this area because Maree has always been home, and it’s a truly special place to me. My brother built this cottage here, in a community that is peaceful, welcoming, and safe. Within just a mile, you’ll find Galway Bay Golf and Country Club, Galway Bay Sailing Club, and Renville Park—perfect for outdoor activities and enjoying the stunning scenery. Oranmore, the nearest town, offers a wonderful selection of pubs, restaurants, and local charm. What I enjoy most about this area is the balance of calm countryside with the convenience of nearby amenities, all set against the backdrop of Galway Bay.
What makes this property unique
What makes this cottage unique is the mix of privacy, comfort, and character. Set back from the road with its own driveway and parking, it offers guests peace and quiet while still being close to everything Galway Bay has to offer. Inside, you’ll find a cozy living room with a wood-burning stove, a fully equipped kitchen, and bedrooms dressed with Sheridan sheets and Christy towels for a touch of luxury.
The outdoor space is equally special, with a private seating area, fire table, and a handcrafted wooden boat feature called An Bhanríon (“The Queen”), named in memory of my mother. It’s a one-of-a-kind detail that gives the cottage its own story and charm, while providing a unique backdrop for relaxing evenings outdoors.
