Single Storey Holiday Home in Spanish Point, County Clare, Ireland
Our holiday home is in Spanish Point, 2 kms from Miltown Malbay, in Co. Clare. The cottage overlooks the nearby Atlantic Ocean, and the sandy beach of Spanish Point is only 2 minutes' walk away.
The holiday home has two living areas, joined by an open-plan kitchen and dining area. The three bedrooms (one en-suite) comfortably sleep five. There is also a small sheltered patio/terrace area ideal for barbecues and outdoor dining with a sea view.
It is one of 10 cottages built as holiday homes in the early 1980s, and was extensively renovated in 2005 and refurbished in 2024.

About the neighborhood
Activities within a short walking distance include golf, fishing, swimming and surfing. The well-known Armada Hotel is just next door, with fine-dining, pub grub and cafe options, while the many traditional Irish pubs of Miltown Malbay are two kilometres away.
To enjoy the area, a car is needed as there is limited public transport in the area (nearest car hire - Shannon Airport, 40 minutes away). We do not exchange cars.
Spanish Point is on the Wild Atlantic Way, which stretches the length of Ireland's West coast.
The local area is famous for its beaches, and for traditional Irish music and pubs. The Armada Hotel is next door. Within a 30 minute drive from the house are the Cliffs of Moher, Doolin (with boats to the Aran Islands), the Burren (scenic landscape, great for cycling and hiking), the Ailwee Caves, Lisdoonvarna Spa town and many other tourist attractions.

This was a very pleasant exchange in a great location by the sea. The property was very comfortable and well equipped. Our hosts left a booklet with lots of helpful information which we used and also some lovely welcoming gifts for us to eat and drink. They also left our house just as they found it which was very much appreciated. We would recommend this exchange to anyone and would welcomingly return to this property in the future,
Nuestro intercambio con Eimear y Owen ha sido todo un sueño. La casa es muy acogedora, cómoda y alegre. La zona es preciosa. Unos paisajes verdes, el mar, los acantilados... Hemos vuelto absolutamente enamorados de Irlanda. Por otro lado, la casa era tal como venía en el anuncio, aún mejor cuando llegas allí por el entorno tan privilegiado. Eimear y Owen han sido muy cariñosos y atentos. Nos han ayudado mucho en todo y han cuidado de nuestra casa perfectamente. Todo estaba tal como lo dejamos. Ha sido un intercambio especialmente satisfactorio.
This home is very comfortable. Family gave great history about the house, area and places to visit. Amazing sea view. Would recommend a stay here and we would love to go back!!!!
Wonderful location, close to the beach and lots of hiking and sightseeing opportunities. Eimear and Owen did everything they could to make our stay enjoyable, took really good care of our house and responded quickly if we had any questions. There was lots of information about things to do and the house. The house was so light and comfortable, we felt at home immediately.

We like travelling to any interesting destination
We are Owen and Eimear, an Irish couple. We are in our 70s. We were both lawyers. Eimear has retired and Owen works part time.
We enjoy travelling, walking, history and culture. Our children are now grown up, so it is just the two of us on holidays. We are happy to head away on holidays at reasonably short notice, and have gone on over 40 exchanges using this and another exchange site.
As this is a holiday home, we are quite flexible about exchange times.
We have really enjoyed all 34 (and counting) of our intervac exchanges. We generally do not leave references as tastes and opinions are so variable.
