About Our Family
Colm and I have taken a break in recent years from Intervac as our children were at college and came home for summer holidays. As they are now finished college and starting out on their own careers we are free to get back to Intervac. We had many good years of exchanging homes when the children were much younger and now look forward to doing the home exchanges on our own.

DE50926The house was very neat and clean. We found a lot of documents about the area. They gave us two coffee mugs as a welcome and as a gift. Colm and Jackie are very friendly and helped us in an exemplary manner when we had an accident.
