Luxury Atlantic Retreat Lodge Kinvara close to Galway Bay

The retreat was beautiful! Tons of kitchen amenities for cooking. The view was stunning and the lodge had great outdoor toy options for kids, and a ton of space to play around!

This house worked out well for our family of 10. We found it quite off the beaten path but a good central location for visiting the Cliffs of Mower, the Aran Islands and Galway. It was clean and beds were comfortable.

Very relaxing place. Plenty of room for a large good. Sheep in the backyard, made you feel like you were really in Ireland.

The house is beautifully furnished and extremely well-equipped for 10 people. Nothing was lacking and the host's attention to detail was evident everywhere, to the point of having a box of 'things you forget to bring' in the ensuite bathrooms. The end of our stay was spoiled by the fact that we could not enter our house because heavy rain had damaged the keypad system. The host operates a keyless system which means that the keypad is only way into the house. With a complete malfunction of the keypad (due to rain which happens regularly in the West of Ireland!) we had no access to the house. We had no emergency contact number, we had no emergency key and our host was unreachable until late in the morning the next day. This was of no use to us when we found ourselves locked out of our house at 23h15 and until 1am, in the cold and pouring rain. Disappointingly we had no follow-up apology from the host from having been exposed to such a dire situation. So a word of warning for those envisaging a stay in this house, please ensure that you have access to a Plan B should the key pad fail or malfunction.

This house was perfect for our family vacation! The house was immaculate and the owner did a great job of labeling how to use everything. Such a nice place! We would stay here again!

This house and its location were highlights of our trip to Ireland. The host was attentive and thorough. She provided everything you could possibly need for a great vacation. Thank you!

The place was immaculate, every detail was accounted for which only enhanced the stay. The pictures do not do it justice, it’s absolutely beautiful.

We wanted to go to Galway but love the country setting. This home was perfect. Only 45 minutes to Galway and a perfect place to relax after sight seeing. Great for large groups. We had 7 adults and it was great.

Best equipped and best designed VRBO ever. Minutes from wonderful restaurants and sights, this place is heaven. Would not hesitate to recommend it.

We came with family for a reunion and rented both floors of the house. The house is absolutely amazing. I have rented a lot all over the world and this was one of the best places we have stayed. Everything you could possibly need is provided. If only I could have the same view from my kitchen sink at home. The outdoor space is beautiful but sadly Mother Nature did not cooperate and we were so disappointed to not be able to sit out there. We walked several times down to the beach which was a lovely morning walk. Kinvarra is close and is a very cool little village. The grocery store there was great. We could not have been happier with our choice.
