    The recent Covid-19 pandemic has changed a lot of our perspectives on life, with where and how we live to the forefront of that. Marina Village in Greystones can offer perfect living in a modern world.
    After weeks spent at home and being limited in our movements, where we live and what type of home we reside in has become more important than ever.
    While it’s fair to say that Covid-19 will change the world, it has already put more of a focus on the type of property we live in.

    Remote working is now much more the norm, with quality of life taking more precedence than ever before.
    That’s why Marina Village in Greystones, Co Wicklow, could be the ideal location for you to set up home.
    These stunning 4/5 bed family homes from Glenveagh Homes offer stunning sea views, with plenty of sights, walks and leisure activities to enjoy.

The homes are designed to make the most of these picturesque views, as the first floor drawing room has a large balcony overlooking the c. 14 acre park and out towards the Irish Sea. The real highlight of this new development is the detached homes overlooking the sea, which simply have to be seen to be appreciated.

    Inside the houses offer high specifications with impressive spacious hallways and 9ft ceiling heights, meaning you’ll never feel cooped up here.
    The space offered means there is plenty of room to work from home while entertaining is also an option.

    The open plan kitchen and dining space benefits from lots of natural light pouring in through the large double glazed windows and french doors leading to the private rear garden. Kitchens are supplied by Nolan’s kitchens and feature quartz stone worktop islands with wine fridges, beautiful detailed finishes and Siemens appliances as standard.

    All houses have superb energy efficiency ratings due to heat recovery ventilation, air tightness, high insulation, solar panels and an A-rated air to water heat pump heating system.
    As well as the seaside which is just a stone’s throw from the front door, there is a c.14 acres of parkland at your doorstep with the boardwalk offering access to the renowned Bray to Greystones Walk.

    Massive boost to tourism sector with major rise in staycation interest

    Searches on MyHome.ie in June for Irish holiday homes up 112% year-on-year
    Notable decline in interest when lockdown restrictions were at their height
    The domestic tourism sector is set to receive a significant boost this summer, with a major rise in the number of people searching for holiday homes around the country.
    Interest in staycations on the MyHome.ie property website soared in recent weeks as lockdown restrictions were eased – with a 112% increase in searches for “Irish holiday homes” in June 2020 compared with the same period the year before.

    However, during March and April – when Covid-19 cases escalated and lockdown restrictions were at their height – there was a marked decline in Irish holiday home searches on the MyHome.ie website. March saw a 48% year-on-year decline, while April saw a 41% decline over the same period.
    In May, there was a 28% increase in searches for Irish holiday homes compared with the same period in 2019 as the roadmap for lockdown easing began.
    The staycation trend looks set to benefit most tourism hotspots around the country, with significant increases in holiday home searches in June 2020 compared with June 2019 in counties including:
    Kerry: up 107%
    Sligo: up 105%
    Galway: up 83%
    Clare: up 57%
    Donegal: up 45%
    It also appears that the west is best for staycations, as searches for holiday homes in Dublin in June 2020 stayed relatively steady, up by just 6% compared with the same period in 2019.
    Angela Keegan, Managing Director of MyHome.ie, said: “These findings reflect the huge pent-up demand that exists among people after three months of lockdown, which will have a much-needed knock-on effect for a hospitality sector that has suffered badly as a result of Covid-19 restrictions. People need a holiday to look forward to after a tough year, and it looks like the domestic economy will benefit from the Government’s continued guidance to avoid non-essential foreign travel.”
