Ever wanted to swap your home for a holiday?
Ever wanted to swap your home just for a short time? Now you can with HomeLink, the world largest home exchange organisation. HomeLink International was established in 1953 and continues to lead the way in home exchange holidays. Here you can pick your desired destination and then fill in your search criteria, from a non smoking home, to somewhere that pets are allowed. You can then browse the homes up for exchange with their desired destination.
The idea is that you swap your home with another HomeLink member for the duration of your holiday. You stay in their home while they stay in yours. You don’t pay rent and neither does the other person. It’s a free exchange, and they call it a HomeLink holiday.
Take a few days in Amsterdam, two weeks in California or a tour of Australia. Exchangers are most interested in the location. As one journal said about exchanging cottages and mansions, “size doesn’t matter, so long as the place is right”.
Anual membership for HomeLink is from £115 depending on how many pictures you have and how detailed you advert is.

Excellent post! Much more significant, thank goodness you choose to promote Home Link and not that c**p American pretender homeexchange.com
I (unfortunately) fell for their high-powered promotionals and forked out almost £100 to join. It was money wasted. A huge percentage of their listings are nothing but rentals and many of the remainder are completely out of date listings derived from old, defunct companies they’ve bought up. One lady I contacted had no idea she was on the HE site. She told me that she had joined a long gone, free web site back in the late 1990’s. That listing had found its way onto the HE web site when they bought the members.
On the other hand, Home Link is a genuine home exchange company that’s been aound since the 50’s. They have an excellent reputation and don’t resort to slick “American” marketing. Go with the real thing and you certainly won’t regret it.
