Comments from Owner Guestbook

We have stayed in Seaview a total of 14 times which says it all.! We have found it a perfect holiday home and have travelled all over Ireland from here, and its so easy to get into the city center of Dublin,..normally we just leave the car and get the bus..the local shops and restaurants are good, Tesco is just down the road.

We love coming to Dublin and are always happy with Seaview.The apartments are always clean and fresh , (we have stayed in each and every one !!) Mr and Mrs. H. Liverpool.

It is a super place to stay for a family, paddling and splashing in the sea across the road was the highlight for our daughter, we loved the museums, art galleries and just the great athmosphere in the city.

We appreciated having the garden to chill out in and just generally found this a perfect home from home. CM.

We found it warm and cosy, during our January stay and so close to the city center........Dublin trafic is so congested we loved being able to just hop on a bus. WS

September at Seaview

We had a wonderful vacation in Dublin and enjoyed our stay at Seaview. Being beside Dublin Bay provided an added attraction, and we found the transportation to be very convenient.

Staying on the Strand helped us to see more of Dublin than we would have had we stayed in a downtown hotel.

The accommodation was clean, comfortable and spacious. The nearby village of Sandymount was charming with shopping and restaurants very handy. We would happily recommend a stay at Seaview to our friends and family.

Beautiful seaside apartment

We spent six days in this beautiful apartment in Sandymount and we would definitely recommend it. It is equipped with everything you need, from wine glasses to alarm clock, and very spacious and clean.

If it had been rainy, we would have relaxed more on the cozy couch and armchair in front of the fireplace. The bedroom is comfortable as well with very nice linens and good lighting. There was some construction on the road in front of the house during our last two days, but apart from that, it was nice and quiet and we slept soundly.

The beach is right outside the house, and you can take a nice stroll (or jog, like we did) to the lighthouse. Sandymount village is only a 5-minute walk away and offers good shopping and dining options and a peaceful contrast to Dublin's bustling city center. The owner provided some very good recommendations regarding grocery shops and restaurants.

The bus to Dublin's city center is right outside the door and it takes only 10-15 mins to Trinity College, which makes this apartment the perfect base for visiting the many sights. As the DART station is within easy reach as well, you won't need a car to explore picturesque seaside towns like Howth or Bray either.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this apartment and would choose it again for our next trip to Dublin.

The perfect location for a Dublin holiday

In early August of this year my wife and I had the delightful experience of staying for a week in this excellent apartment. We found it to be clean and tidy on arrival and its location, layout and decor gave it a very restful aura.

If you seek a comfortable and quiet apartment then this is it. To reach a safe beach and long esplanade we only had to cross a narrow roadway. The weather was good and the beach, walkways and many esplanade seats allowed us to walk to our hearts content or just sit and gaze at the wonderful views of Dublin Bay, whichever took our fancy.

Alternatively, we only had to walk a short distance (5 minutes) up a side street to reach Sandymount village. This village, with its small central green, surrounding small shops, pubs, restaurants, and a church, has that charming old world feel about it. Tescos and other smaller stores gave us plenty of choice of food and drink (including the alcoholic variety!)

Having sampled the seaside and then the quiet buzz of the village on our first 2 days, on day three we decided it was time to visit the city centre! This involved walking about 30 metres from the front door of our apartment to a bus stop where a number 2 or 3 bus (which passed about every 15 minutes I think) took us directly into the city centre in about 10 minutes. We were able to get off close to Trinity College, one of our favourite spots. The bus journey cost us 1 Euro 60 cents each for a return ticket - very cheap. Having spent a few hours soaking up the noise, excitement and bustle of the big city, we were delighted to get back on that bus in the evening, knowing the beautiful, and oh so quiet spot we were returning to in Sandymount.

On another day we walked through Sandymount village to the local Dart station (railway - took us about 15 minutes walk) and took the train to Bray (a trip of nostalgia for us - fond memories of younger days and all that). Again, the cost was minimal.

Did I mention we had a car? Well, we did not need it to be frank, and it sat all week in a quiet side avenue. As we live in Northern Ireland we could just as well have travelled here by train or bus.

All in all this was a delightful holiday for us and this apartment and its location was the main reason for its success. We have no hesitation in recommending it as a base for a holiday.

Home from Home

We enjoyed our stay here very much. A spacious and clean apartment in a fantastic location! 5 mins drive from the City Center and overlooking Sandymount Beach. The owner was very welcoming and obliging. We would certainly stay here again, especially as our well behaved dog was allowed to stay also!

Review of Seaview, Dublin, Ireland

My son and daughter and I have traveled extensively in Europe, and Seaview is among our favorite places to stay ever. It gets our highest marks re: location, convenience, overall amenities, hospitality of the owner, view, and proximity to everything we wanted to see.

The apartment is roomy, attractively decorated, and immaculate. It is one of the best values for the money we've ever found, and there is no doubt that we will stay at Seaview any time our travels bring us back to Dublin.

It was truly a home away from home! All details of our transaction were also expertly handled, and the owner was available for advice and support during the stay whenever we needed her. This will be a place we will return many times, and we would recommend it to anyone looking for a beautiful setting in Dublin with all the comforts of home.

Dublin Trip

When i chose this property I did not know what to expect. Once I got there I felt right at home. It was like my home away from home, it was very inviting and cozy. I would highly recommend anyone to come and enjoy a great experience in Dublin.

Wet week in Ireland

The Apartment was clean and tidy but a little dated.Everything you needed was there and very spacious for a onebedroomed property. We enjoyed the views and walks around Sandymount (which is a superb village with lots of places to eat and drink).

The weather dictated what we could do during our stay as it had been the wettest summer in Ireland for long time. I would recommend the apartment to anyone wanting a relaxing stay with the choice of the busy city of Dublin only 10 mins away.

Perfect accommodations

I recently spent a month in this delightful apartment. It was my second stay in the past 6 months.I would not consider staying anywhere else in the Dublin area. The flat is exceptionally clean, well-appointed, and very comfortable.

I was by myself and chose not to drive. It simply was not necessary as I was so close to the lovely village of Sandymount for all my needs and never concerned for my personal safety at anytime of the day or night.

I was equally close to excellent bus service to City Center and access to a lovely coastal promenade and park path for jogging or walking. Even the airport coach dropped me off within meters of the front door! You really can't find a better nor more lovely accommodation when staying in the Dublin area. Lynn

Sandymount Christmas

My daughter and I spent Christmas through New Years at Seaside. It was the most delightful vacation I think I have ever had. We even had a Christmas tree awaiting us when we arrived!

The property owner who resides in the lovely home above the rental property was very gracious. The accommodations were lovely. Sandymount is simple exquisite.

We hope to return soon, and would not consider staying anywhere but Seaside.
