Karen
Dia duit (hello!) We’re a family from beautiful County Kerry on the southwest coast of Ireland. We live just 1.7km from Banna Strand, a stunning long sandy beach on the Wild Atlantic Way, voted #1 beach in Ireland on tripadvisor. Our home is within easy reach of Tralee, Dingle, Killarney and many of Kerry’s best-known sights.
Situated between Ardfert and Ballyheigie, Ardfert village is a historic village with very traditional bars and restaurants, including Kate Brownes, voted best restaurant in Kerry. Ballyheigue has a seaside holiday vibe with lots of entertainment.
We are a family of five, with three children, and we love travelling together and experiencing new places as a family. We particularly enjoy holidays that combine plenty to do with a comfortable, relaxed base to come home to. We’ve travelled quite a bit with the children and love discovering new cities, coastal areas and family-friendly destinations.
We’re new to home exchanging and are particularly interested in simultaneous reciprocal exchanges, as we would generally only make our home available while we are away ourselves. We would also be very open to making a car available for exploring the wild Atlantic way.
We’re especially interested in exchanges in the USA and Europe during Irish school holidays, particularly in July and August, although we’re happy to consider other destinations too. We tend to look for family-friendly areas with things to see and do nearby, and we love being close to the coast, a city or an interesting town.
Our own home is a comfortable four-bedroom, three-bathroom family home with plenty of space for another family to settle in and enjoy Kerry. We would treat your home with the same care and respect that we would hope you would give ours.
We’re really looking forward to getting to know other families through People Like Us and hopefully arranging some wonderful exchanges and adventures along the way!
