This one is a mixed bag. First, the not so good: the house needs a deep clean. There were many things that would be remedied with a basic deep clean and attention to the property, without spending much more than time. It was not up to VRBO standards I have witnessed in over 15 years of using the site. Not even close. It wasn't gross or unlivable nor did it result in me complaining to the host while I was there. We stayed and frankly it didn't bother us too much, but it is a small amount of effort for a significant return. Many other guests may well have been properly bothered. The good: the host and his family were attentive and responsive and welcoming, They are great and that's mainly why I hesitated to even write a review detailing the clean. The home is lived in by one member of the family from best I could tell (the pictures and personal artwork in the home added a nice touch) and while that may explain the condition, it doesn't excuse it. I would not doubt, had I complained, that the other family members (resident/host was away on travel) would have paid for a deep clean while we were there. I didn't want the intrusion so didn't ask. The great: the location and view make up for the condition. To wake up with a view of Galway Bay, being right on the beach, was remarkable. Sits on a very quiet, dead end street, you can walk to a handful of eateries, shops, coffee, grocer. 10 minute drive to Galway, day trip to Cliffs of Moher and Connomera NP were easy too.
