Our Home For Exchange

Description of the home we are offering for exchange

Gold Membership.


Island home (Car Ferry & Bridge Access) with sea/lighthouse views situated on the Ring of Kerry and famed Wild Atlantic Way.This home,in what we consider to be one of the most naturally beautiful places in Ireland ,was newly built in 2012 on ancestral land .For us, we see Valentia Island, and our house, as a place to escape from the busy lives and many distractions that families have today.Our house is equipped with all modern conveniences,including WI-FI, but does not have a television , to allow us to fully savour the experience of this amazing Island.The house is open-plan designed with one twin bedroom downstairs and the master bedroom,double and twin bedrooms upstairs.We have an old fashioned wood burning stove which is the focal point of the living area.The house was designed to maximise the views of the harbour and lighthouse.
We have plenty of children's toys,games and jigsaws in the house for some of those rainy days that might arrive. Children's wetsuits and buckets and spades for the beach at your disposal.

We have a 2 man Kayak a
paddleboard, wetsuits and
lifejackets also available for your use.
