Sandford Gardens, a furnished EirStay home in Dublin
Sandford Gardens — a place to start your search.

Your home is a building site. Your life needn’t be.

A kitchen replacement, an extra bedroom or a whole-house energy upgrade can make moving out the practical choice. Somewhere furnished gives you a base between handing over the keys to your builder and moving back into the finished home.

Start with the routines you want to keep: the school run, your commute, after-school activities and visits to check on progress. Tell us where your home is and what your household needs, and we can discuss properties that make sense for your stay.

Room for the household

Think beyond the number of beds. Compare bedrooms, sleeping arrangements and living space so everyone has somewhere to unpack and spend time between busy days.

Meals and ordinary evenings

When your own kitchen is out of action, the daily details matter. Check the individual home’s kitchen, dining and laundry facilities against the way your household lives.

Stay connected

Sandford Gardens has fast Wi-Fi, keeping you connected while you are away from home. View each property’s details and let us know about any particular requirements when you enquire.

Stay close to what matters

The right location is personal. Share the school, workplace or home address you need to be near, along with how you normally travel, rather than choosing by postcode alone.

Homes to consider for your renovation stay

Start with Sandford Gardens, explore other larger homes, then compare options around your everyday routes.

Plan the move out, and the move back.

Use your builder’s programme as a starting point. Share your expected move-out date, estimated completion date and any uncertainty around the works when you enquire.

If you are considering extra time before moving back, discuss that before booking. It is worth allowing for the final stages of the project, not just the day the main building work finishes.

If the schedule changes

Let us know as early as possible. Extensions are subject to availability and agreed booking terms; the same property cannot be guaranteed beyond your confirmed dates.

Questions about moving out during works

Can I stay near my current home or my children’s school?

Tell us the area or school you want to stay near and how you travel. We can discuss nearby options from the published collection, subject to availability. Check the actual route before deciding which home is right for you.

Can I book while my renovation dates are still being finalised?

You can enquire with estimated dates. Let us know what is confirmed and what may change, then agree the stay dates and booking terms before making a booking.

What if the renovation takes longer than expected?

Contact us as soon as your builder flags a delay. Any extension depends on availability and agreed booking terms. Extra nights, or continued use of the same home, are not automatic.

What is included in the stay?

Our furnished homes give you a comfortable base for everyday living. Your quote sets out the facilities, utilities, cleaning arrangements and any additional charges for your chosen property.

How much will temporary accommodation cost?

The property, dates and length of stay affect the price. Send your household details and expected dates for a quote for your stay, including the applicable booking terms.

Tell us where you need to be, who is staying and when the works begin. We’ll help you explore a furnished Dublin home for the time in between.
