These 7 Stunning Seaside Irish Airbnbs Must Be Visited

Alana Laverty

Do you want to go to the seaside?

I’m not tryna say that everybody wants to go.

I fell in love at the seaside. 

1. Gatsby-style mansion — Howth, Dublin 

As seen above, this house tucked away on Howth Hill is a stunner with panoramic views of Dublin Bay. 

The house sleeps eight people and at €600 per night it works out at €75 each — if you’ve a special occasion coming up, keep this one in mind to experience living how the other half do. 

However be warned that this is “not a suitable location for a hen or stag party” — fair.
