Book every other house in Rossbeigh and Glenbeigh instead. Our house in Rossbeigh this year was 150euro cheaper than an icebox, and a lot bigger. Last year we had a massive place in Glenbeigh and it worked out really well.
See how that goes for a year before changing.
I can't think of anywhere better than Kerry for whitewater and surf, with a suitably-sized pub in the middle of nowhere...

the problem with that is that several of the houses / house-owners aren't willing to rent to us anymore. especially for the club house, they have to book it under a private individual's name (eg a committee member) and will often be subjected to a grilling to make sure they're not a college kayak club. it's fine for the newer colleges who haven't burned their bridges, or for houses of oldies who have no clear university affiliation, but a lot of houses are hard to get a hold of.
I didn't think the ice boxes were that cold and I don't think we spent more than maybe €20 or €30 on electricity plus the same on coal, split 7 ways over a week. that's not that bad.
although I have to disagree with amanda - this was an incredibly mild Kerry compared with how the weather has been in the past.

Jeez Annie no need to get so ranty ;) he he he
I stayed in a massive house in Glenbeigh with a few of UCD & the Galway guys one year, it slept 10 of us & electricity & heating were included. I think it worked out at €80 for food & accom for the week. It would make a savage club house if we did go there next year!!!
Glenbeigh could work but its not gonna have the same atmosphere as Rossbeigh because it'll be more spread out.
Oh & Aengus I think Kerry actually gets better every year, not boring!!!! :)
Sara:
