Exchange types

Flexible Swap

A direct home swap that happens on different dates. Perfect when you and another member both want to travel, but not at the same time.

What it is

Two linked stays on different dates

A Flexible Swap is a direct, two-way swap between two members on different dates. You visit your partner’s home on one set of dates, and they visit yours on another. Because both members exchange homes, no Keys are used.

How it works

One exchange, two visits

1

Leg one: you travel

You stay in your exchange partner’s home on your agreed dates while they carry on at home.

2

Leg two: you host

Later, on a separate agreed date, your partner stays in your home. Both stays are linked as one exchange.

Example scenario

You visit a member’s coastal home in June while they stay at home. In September, when your calendar is free, they travel to your city apartment. Two trips, one linked exchange, and no Key needed because you have both shared your homes.

Know the difference

How this differs from an SHH Key Stay

Both let you travel on flexible dates, but the arrangement is different.

Flexible Swap

A direct two-way swap: both members stay in each other’s homes on different dates. No Keys are used.

SHH Key Stay

A one-way stay with no return visit. The guest uses the home’s assigned Keys per night.
