Irish Holiday Homes is a classified advertising website for short term holiday home rental all over Ireland. As the adverts on the site are created and managed by individual advertisers, you can enjoy the following benefits:
Enjoy a more personal service by booking directly with an owner. Speak with the owner and discover why they chose a particular location for their home. Learn the history of a town land and parish and become a local for the duration of your stay. Who better to give you advice about how to holiday in their property than the owner?
Booking direct with the owner bypasses the middlemen, who always take a cut of the rental income. This allows the owners to pass the savings on to you in the form of lower prices.
Renters retain much more flexibility by booking directly with the owner. Checking in and out times are more relaxed than you would find in a hotel. Because holiday homes are self catering, you can dine in when you like. Flights and transfers can also be booked at your own convenience unlike travel package tours,
Compared to hotels, a private holiday home or apartment gives you far more space and privacy.
All adverts have an Availability Calendar. The calendar is on the top right of the advert page and you can select any month to review for availability. Any dates marked by a red strikethrough are unavailable. It is a good idea to check the calendar before contacting the advertiser. It also helps the advertiser if you include your dates when you send your enquiry.
Fill in the contact form at the bottom of the advert page and ask the advertiser directly. Give your email address and a phone number if possible so they can get back to you promptly. Most advertisers also display a phone number in the 'Contact details' box at the bottom of the page. It's always good idea to chat to the owner in person.
If an advertiser has not replied to your email within three to five days then look for a phone number in the 'Contact details' box on their advert page and try calling them. It is also worth checking that the email address which you supplied to them was correct and send a second message if it was not. It is also worth checking the junk folder of your email just in case it ended up there. We encourage properties owners to respond at the earliest opportunity however if you are getting no response, we would then suggest looking for other properties on the site.
That’s the big advantage, there are no middlemen, and you book directly with the advertiser. When you see a property you are interested in complete the contact form at the bottom of the advert and wherever possible give details about your preferred dates, group size and special requirements, and alternative contact phone number or e-mail. From then on you can correspond directly with them.

Booking details vary from owner to owner, but most will ask for this booking deposit to confirm the booking with the balance of payment to follow closer to the holiday. You may also be asked for a refundable security deposit to cover any breakages or damages.
Irish Holiday Homes.ie is not involved in the payment or booking procedures. Once you are in touch with an advertiser you should agree the booking and rental conditions between you.
The owner is always the best person to ask about travel arrangements.

If they do not then feel free to email them requesting a contact number so that you may speak to them.
Consider the following:For Further advice http://www.getsafeonline.org/
Remember responding to an online advert should be no different to how you would respond to an advert in a local newspaper or other traditional classified advert publications. So don’t be put off and give it a go.
No. If for any reason you need to cancel your holiday, please contact the advertiser directly. As this is the person with whom you made the booking. Irish Holiday Homes.ie does not take part in the booking process; the cancellation has to be negotiated between you and the advertiser. When making your booking you should agree what will happen in the case of a cancellation.
If you arrive at a property and have a problem, please contact the owner/manager immediately. Some owners give the number for their local contact or a property manager for their guests to call in case of problems. Advise an owner of any problems you have as soon as you can to enable them to resolve the issue for you.
