Summer Lettings

Looking for a house/flat in galway for about 3 months in the summer to live down here and work, does anyone know wheres the best place to look for them and also what's the best time to start looking for them?

The usual, daft.ie and Advertiser.
It'll take you about 2-3 weeks to find a nice place at the most I think.
The longer you look the more places you can see but also, if you don't commit someone else can snatch it up.

Tons of threads with advice here

Are you looking for a 2 bed apartment in the city centre or a semi-D in the suburbs?

Anything which could hold 4/5 people that's either close to town or in Salthill.

If it's particularly during the summer months (i.e, outside of academic year) places like Glasan, Gort na Coiribe, Menlo Park apartments and Corrib Village let out the apartments for these times. You might find it difficult to source such a "short-term" let from Agent-managed properties. Usual rental period is no less than 6 months, although this might be more negotiable nowadays.

Just 2 ideas, number 1 would not be your (or my) first option maybe but it is tangible.

Gleann nA Ri which is a student village, the rates you see are high but you can bargain I'm sure. It is not the most convenient location for you maybe but my mum stayed there for 2 weeks when she was visiting and got a penthouse apartment there with balcony which was quite nice.

Salthill as you suggest I think is they way to go for staying here 3 months but you might end up paying top dollar for it. I stayed there for a week in a really nice apt before i moved here cost about 6-700 a week i think for a 2 bedroom apt. This is a few years back and the market had changed so maybe if you got on to something like this:

and asked them to rent it for 3 months I doubt they would say no. The above is just an example don't know where in Salthill it is or who the dude is renting it out but it looked ok in the pictures.

Good luck

A friend of mine is letting her house out for the summer as she has students in it come mid Sept. It is in a pretty new housing estate beside GMIT? Not sure of exact details but I think there is four girls livin in it at the mo and they have lived there from day one so its well looked after. . pls p.m. if interested
