My husband and I had a wonderful two weeks in this spacious apartment overlooking the Salthill Promenade and Atlantic Ocean beach. Just 10-15 min walk to center of the Salthill resort action, with many pubs, restaurants and other fun activities. And a 20-25 min enjoyable stroll to Galway City Center.
The hosts, Sean and his son, were very responsive, answering many questions before and during our stay. The apartment was well equipped. In addition, a really helpful housekeeper provided fresh linens and some cleaning if desired - a very nice surprise for us.
We would love to return on a future trip to Galway.

This two bedroom two bath apartment is adequate for a stay in Galway. The location is good, with a stunning view from the balcony. It is a five minute walk to the Salthill shops and restaurants, and about a 10-15 minute walk to the Latin Quarter in Galway. And across the road is a beautiful walk along the water, when the weather allows!
The unit itself is clean, but very dated. In particular the linens (towels, sheets) - while clean, had stains from previous use on them. There were also a few small moths that emerged from when I took the extra pillows out of the closet.
The kitchen was adequately stocked with dishes, but would have been nice to have one bottle of oil and maybe a few basic condiments.
Sean was friendly, but a little difficult to get hold of prior to check-in as he doesn't use WhatsApp and I was not taking regular calls on my North American phone while there.

Highly recommended! Comfortable, spacious apartment in an excellent location with an incredible view. The host met us to show us how to get in the gate, etc, and told us about the history of the area. Couldn’t have been better.

This was the perfect place to relax and enjoy Galway and Salthill. We would definitely stay here again!

Great location quiet at night great view

The apartment is absolutely lovely - quite a nice view of Galway Bay. We appreciated the relative peacefulness of the neighborhood. We could easily walk to Galway City Centre and the Latin Quarter, but then get away from bustle. There are some lovely pubs, coffee shops, and take-aways nearby to enjoy and a walk along the Prom is a delight. The unit was spotless, we certainly appreciated the secure off-street parking, and are looking forward to another stay in the future.

The accommodations were spotless. Located next to the Salthill Prom. Short walk into the heart of Galway. Beautiful view of Galway Bay.

Sean is very friendly and welcoming! The place is a bit dated, but that’s part of the charm! The view of the bay from the balcony is beautiful and relaxing and the convenient location to many good restaurants and coffee shops made it a perfect place for us to stay!

The weather was great and the location perfect.

This unit was in a quiet location yet within walking distance to restaurants and a short walk to the city center. Sean personally met with us at check-in, explained the unit amenities and even suggested a great place for dinner nearby! Parking on-site was a bonus. Would definitely recommend this place!!

This was a very nice place to stay. Great view of the bay and short walking distance to everything

This is a weird vacation rental! This apartment (#4) has exterior grade self closing doors separating bedrooms and within the hall that slam if you don’t have the wooden wedge in. Very dated interior, light bulbs burnt out and bedside table lamps that can’t be plugged in. Very sparse kitchen, no laundry detergent (some lame excuse that someone was allergic to the detergent they use to provide) and pans that should have been replaced ages ago. Beds were uncomfortable and not enough pillows.
This is also the first vacation rental that I couldn’t communicate with the owner via WhatsApp or just be provided with lockbox/key information.
The view/location is the only thing going for this place!
4.8
Our week in this 4th floor apartment wasn't the best for weather but my goodness when the sun shines, the view is fabulous. And when the wind lets up (and with a fresh coffee in your hand), sitting out on the balcony is a joy!
We loved the location too. Just a 5 minute walk to Salthill with all it has to offer but far enough away to not be disturbed by the hustle and bustle. A 15 minute walk in the other direction (25 minutes if you take the more scenic route alongside the causeway) takes you to the heart of Galway.
We've much more we want to see of Ireland but I'm sure at some point we'll come back to Galway and when we do, I hope we'll be able to stay here again.

Sean was great, house was great…. 2 nights was not enough

Stayed her for 6 days in July - it was such a great location. 15 min walk to downtown, but on site parking for rental car. The place was spotless. It was so nice to have space for 3 adults. Couldn’t recommend it more!

First off the owner was very easy to contact and things went exactly as he had informed us. Home was very clean, well stocked and easy walking distance to all that Galway has to offer. The view is spectacular! I dropped an earring down the drain and the owner kindly coordinated a plumber for me to fish it out! Lovely vacation spot!
4.8
The apartment couldn't be in a better position - looking out to sea and overlooking the promenade. The balcony is a perfect place to watch the world go by and only a few minutes' walk to beaches, bars and restaurants and 15-20 minute walk into Galway City Centre. Galway is a marvellous vibrant city and the surrounding countryside is stunning. Sean and his family were so friendly and helpful and the weather was incredible!
4.8
We spent a week in total comfort with gorgeous views of the beach! I cannot say enough about this wonderful place. Perfect location! Sean was so helpful and kind. I highly recommend this place!!

Nice place to stay. Clean, and good location. Kitchen could have used more cookware and plates/drinkware.

Very nice and spacious apartment, with great views out onto Galway bay. Well located for trips into city (15 minute walk) or west into Connemara. Good local shops, particularly Mortons or Galway (2 minutes away) which sells all sorts of delicious foody treats, fresh bread etc. Parking in lock up garage on ground floor was very useful. Owner Sean and son Cathill were very friendly and helpful.
4.8
The apartment had a terrific view of the bay and was in a very convenient location. Downtown Galway was an easy 30 - minute walk away and the local Salthill neighborhood had plenty of stores and restaurants. Sean met us and showed us around the apartment and also told us where the grocery stores were. Very helpful.
4.8
Salthill is a vibrant location and this cosy apartment overlooks the Prom with beautiful views. It is an easy walk to restaurants and pubs, and a short drive into Galway city center. Sean was a great host.

We enjoyed our stay. Sean was a great communicator and gave a lot of recommendations. We definitely recommend this location.

Couldn't have ask for a better place to stay. Beautiful views and all the amenities we could want. So happy to have picked this place for our trip to Galway to celebrate our Dad's 90th birthday at the place he was born. Sean and his son were amazing and also helped find another place for my Dad to stay for a few days after my brother and I left this beautiful place.
Hope to be back again some day.

It is a lovely apartment on the 3th floor.

But everything works.
For four persons their is not enough plates glasses coffee cups and so on what you need in a kitchen.

This place has a beautiful view of the bay. It is within walking distance of Salthill shops and restaurants and Galway shops and restaurants. We stayed here 6 years ago and liked it so much, we came back with friends. However we were disappointed that the place was not as clean as the last time we were here. We also had some towels that had an oder, a broken chair, and dirty dishes. We did have an issue with one of the toilets that was resolved quickly.

My husband, 2 teenage children and myself stayed in unit 4 at Arus Grattan Apartments for one week (2nd floor, ocean view). Hands down the best thing about this apartment was the balcony views. We spent a lot of time on the balcony enjoying the view. Sean and his dad were incredibly helpful and friendly. The apartment was surface clean but could really use a deep clean throughout. The wifi wasn’t the best, but resetting the router would get it working again, so an easy fix. It was an easy walk into town and took us about 15 minutes or so. We really enjoyed Galway and all it has to offer. We hope to return one day.
4.8
We enjoyed the location - the view was wonderful, and we appreciated the opportunity to sit on the terrace. The beds and pillows are a bit spartan, but otherwise the mod cons are all helpful.
4.8
The property was very clean and very conveniently located. Great view, easy access to the promenade. Convenient private parking. Sean was great to deal with.
4.8
The property is exactly as expected. Top floor of an apartment complex with a view to die for! The apartment was very clean and well taken maintained. It has a washer, no dryer, but that worked well for us. The manager, Sean, was very flexible with our timings for arrival and all went according to plan. This is just a little out of Galway centre which suited us. It is an easy walk in. There is a beach strand just in front and wonderful shops, grocery store and restaurants 5 minutes away. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
4.8
We stayed in the top floor apartment for a week and had a great time. Sean was a fab host- easy to contact and helped with any requests we had. I stayed with my parents and toddler and found the flat spacious and the view from the living room and balcony of the beach and coast was beautiful. The decor is a little dated but the place is good value for money. Very good location and super secure parking.
I would recommend.

We greatly enjoyed our stay at Arus Grattan. We stayed there approximately 5 years ago and loved it. So we came back again. Perfect location regardless of whether it is wet or not. Proximity to all Salthill and Galway City Centre have to offer. Easy walking to everything you need. Excellent gourmet grocery store within steps. Accommodations are comfortable and clean. Internet service worked well; we were able to stream and work from the apartment.
Overall, very happy with the place once again.
