Shoreline Apartments
Excellent remote check in with all the appropriate information and codes provided. I even got a check in message one day into our stay. Thoughtfully designed apartments right by the water in salthill. Beautiful area. Would be interested in other properties owned by this group!

St. Judes
Absolutely beautiful home with kind and friendly family running this B&B. The room and entire home were immaculately clean. The breakfast was lovely, and everyone we encountered in the family was so helpful and friendly. Parking is available but tight so hopefully you have a small car like we did. ...
