Sandymount holiday apartment "10 Minutes From City Centre" in Dublin 4

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.

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.

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.
