And it’s all due to a ‘Covid boost’ which has greatly increased demand for already exclusive mobile homes. The property, located on the popular Jack's Hole Beach Resort, costs €495,000 and features three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Values of mobiles in the better schemes at Brittas Bay have always been difficult to ascertain given that most tend to change hands privately through management companies. Jack's Hole Beach Resort is a well established Resort which has been developed over the past 20 years. The Resort provides a unique, fun filled holiday experience in a beautiful location. All Mobile Homes have been sold and sites have been filled, however, should you wish to join a waiting list, please do not hesitate to contact us. A TikTok user took to the video-sharing app to advise that instead of trying to figure out comparison websites to find the best deal, he just called his supplier. People also pointed out that the 495k cost of the mobile home does not include a €15,000 yearly maintenance fee.
These vary in price from about €35,000 to €80,000, according to Aine Brannock, manager at the resort, depending on their location within the scheme, with the frontline mobiles commanding the highest prices. It comes after a recent report by property website Daft.ie showed that the price of coastal homes has increased by 23% since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. With working from home now an option, more people are interested in swapping their urban or suburban lifestyle for a life by the sea.

At the top end of the market is Wolf Rock, a four-bedroom, four- bathroom, architect-designed property, with a wine cellar, private access to the beach and stellar views, across to Wales on a clear day. Designed by Robin Mandel, it is asking €1.5million through joint agents Colliers and Knight Frank, a drop of €500,000 since it came on the market around two years ago. The beachfront mobile home park, Jack's Hole Beach Resort, which is home to about 70 pitches, has what one resident described as "an extremely beautiful rock star beach".
Jack’s Hole is about 40 minutes’ drive from Dublin on the N11 and is almost half way between the towns of Wicklow and Arklow. Jack’s Hole adjoins Malachy Stone’s Ballincarrig Holiday Park, which is considerably larger and includes a nine-hole golf course. Beyond that you have to really get into your car to tickle your taste buds.

The evening meal offer at the Strawberry Tree is especially strong but it will mean you need a designated driver.

A mobile home at Potter's Point, one of Brittas' best-known caravan parks, has a deck and is asking €180,000 through Rob Noble Property Consultants. Described by one wag as being "awash with SUVs", the setting also boasts a golf course and tennis courts. Brittas Bay village is a development of holiday homes that is equidistant between Jack White's pub and the beach. Holiday rentals are available through Trident Homes, which has three-bedroom properties from €665 to €840 per week in high season. They are booked out for this summer, but rentals may be available from individual owners.

While Anna Thornton of DNG Thornton Properties said that it would not be value for money for an ordinary mobile home, any future owners would have a share in the holiday home complex. Another plus about the Jack’s Hole property is that buyers are shareholders in the management company. When one of the mobile homes is being sold, the rest of the owners get the option to buy it first. Now the property – located in one of Ireland’s most exclusive beach resorts – has sold for close to its asking price of €495,000. The private decking area offers stunning seaside viewers as well as plenty of space for dining al fresco. No. 9 Beachfront has a "lovely, bright and airy" open plan living space, a remodelled kitchen, three double bedrooms with ensuites and a separate shower room.
JHBR is owned and operated by residents who are also shareholders, in the interest of shareholding residents. As a result, the Resort is well managed with a competitive annual charge. The park has been continually upgraded since it opened almost 20 years ago and has only one vacant mobile home stand out of the 71 designated sites next to the beach. What about Jack Whites, a long country mile of a walk up from the beach to the M11?

But you can also buy a three-bedroom home of 1,400 sq ft on half an acre of ground in Brittas Bay for €495,000. Many supermarkets across Ireland have altered their opening hours for the Christmas period. When purchasing a mobile home, the purchaser is also required to enter into a licence agreement with JHBR to place that mobile home on the site. Included in the annual cost are the supply of water, waste disposal, TV signal and Wi-Fi. Each site on the Resort has fibre cabling to the mobile, delivering reliable broadband.
