Summary: We have just had the most fantastic week back home in Ireland visiting family and friends and the Galway Bay Holiday Lodge was the most perfect base to do it from. All ensuite bedrooms. Fantastic size master and the downstairs bedroom perfect for those slightly older or less able to do stairs but still large and also has its own bath and shower. The living space is great for large families with a dining table not only in the fully equipped kitchen but also in the amazingly sized living/dining room. I have to say there was a small issue but the property manager who returns calls and texts all hours of the day and night had it rectified as quickly as was humanly possible over a weekend but nothing stopped us having an amazing time and we’re all ready looking at dates for next year.

Summary: House was large, comfortable & in a very nice neighborhood. A little frustrating that heat & hot water were difficult to control. The one time we called the local host, Diedre, with questions, she was very responsive to our immediate needs, but heat & hot water continued to be unreliable

Summary: We woke one morning with no hot water. Our son found the water heater and turned it on and gradually we had hot water. Other than that we had a pleasant stay.

Summary: The property listed on VRBO had wrong information listed. There is a third party management company adding another layer of communications to deal with. Our stay was paid for in advance but before we could get the entrance code, I had to give an agent my credit card number over the phone to an individual agent so that I could be charged for electricity. This is an UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS business practice. We were not told there was no wifi available until after we checked in. DEAL BREAKER. Tho generally clean, there were no amenities that I have come to enjoy over the years from VRBO. No coffee or tea, no hand towels or bath mats in bathrooms (unsafe on tiles ), cold water in upstairs sink not working, water standing in the washing machine. Not even an extra roll of toilet paper in the bathrooms. It was the most expensive property we rented. Wished I had stayed at a hotel. I will NOT recommend this property to family or clients. VRBO not up to the warm welcoming standards I've come to expect over the years.

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - so overall very good. However in this day and age the house would benefit from WiFi. The shower was very poor and there was never enough hot water for 6 people. Basic essential were available - but no extras such as a coffee cafetière or egg cups. No welcome pack as promised - towels were extra and only one per person provided at extra cost. No outside furniture or a BBQ which was a shame as the weather was fabulous. We wouldn’t return to this house - as we like a few more home comforts but it was adequate for our stay.

Summary: Not a lot to dislike bar one issue re electricity not included in price Make sure the bins outside property are empty, or at least, have some room. Electric bill on departure would make me reluctant to rebook.
