We had a wonderful stay! Our family used Oakville as a staging home prior to our daughter's wedding in Enniskerry later in the week. The home is clean, convenient and spacious for the five family members, Nikki was great! Her communication and flexibility with our respective travel schedules was very much appreciated. We hope to visit Bray again in the future and, if we do, we will stay at Oakville. Thanks Nikki and Niall! Joe B

We enjoyed all the room to spread out in this comfortable house. We were pleased to have a grocery store within walking distance as well as a bus stop and train station. Having Neal guide us through the house and the surrounding town was outstanding. Highly recommend!

Loved our 3 days
The house is well equipped and has lots of great bedrooms, with lots of storage cabinets, shelves, etc. Beds were extremely comfortable. House is modern, kitchen is fully stocked. We walked to the train station (23 minutes) and went to Dublin. Much better way to travel then driving in the city traffic and trying to find easily accessible parking. Nikki and Niall were so pleasant and were available for check-in and provided an excellent introduction to the house. A great experience for our 3 day stay.

Beautiful House, Beautiful town Bray, Wonderful hosts
This house is gorgeous, spotlessly clean, has everything one could possibly need with its fully stocked kitchen and bathrooms, and the hosts Nikki and Niall are wonderful, kind, and warm people. The interior design of the house is stunning. The house location is outstanding: it is quiet and very private, yet It is close to everything—the sea, Bray and its terrific restaurants, the DART train, mountains, nature walks, and Dublin! We have never felt more delighted and happy with a rental. Highly recommended without reservation.

Really nice place in Bray
We stayed here when my friends/family came to town for an American football game in Dublin. The hosts were super friendly and helpful and the house was very clean and comfortable. We really enjoyed seeing Bray and it was super easy to get up to Dublin via train (and we even went further up the coast to see other fun coastal towns).

Wonderful house to have as home base for our stay.
We stayed in Nikki and Niall's home for the 10 days we were exploring the beauties of Ireland. The home was all that it was advertised as. It was clean, the check in process was simple and both Nikki and Niall who live on the property were very easy to work with and to let us know of the hidden gems of Ireland and how to get around. Nikki and Niall made us a traditional Irish breakfast on one morning that you should not miss out on. It was incredible and I didn't eat the rest of the day! 5 stars all the way around! Thank you to the both of you.

Great place for a group close to DART for easy Dublin access
This was a nice place with very helpful and responsive hosts. We didn't spend much time in the VRBO because our schedule was so packed but it was a nice quiet place to sleep. The utilities were a bit challenging as you had to coordinate with others in the group to get hot showers. Overall it was a nice stay with very nice hosts.
