We had an excellent time at this waterfront home! We each had our own bed and space for four friends. The views were spectacular from both inside and outside. The hot tub is in a beautiful spot and because the weather was perfect, we were able to watch the aurora borealis every night while soaking. We even saw Aurora borealis tours, bringing their customers to an open area about a mile from the house. It’s in a convenient location, near a cutoff road for the Golden Circle but only 40 minutes from Reykjavík. It’s stocked with everything you need from linens to kitchen wear and as most Icelandic homes, it was heated with geothermal heat in the so we could make it as warm or cool as we wanted. They have a nice deck, barbecue and fire pit so I also bet it’s spectacular in the summer

We had a wonderful stay. We were notified 3 days before our stay, Iceland was experiencing a drought, as a result the hot tub was not available. The host offered a complete refund if we wanted to cancel and find alternate lodging. I'm so glad we decided to stay. It was National Women Day when we arrived, the host supplied a lovely card and flowers in honor of this holiday. This home was beyond our expecations. The beds were extremely comfortable. The setting was magical, northern lights on our 1st night. Quite, serene, perfect distance from the Reykjavík. There was not direct access to the beach as the home was on a cliff, but it was just a nice walk to access the beach. There were many games, books, maps and a pair of binoculars, they supplied some fun summer games, Corn Hole, Kubb, croquet. In addition to the 1st floor there was decks upstairs. Even with a full house, you could find a quiet spot for some alone time. The kitchen was well stocked with all the necessities. I personally had to adjust to using a electric stove/oven, but that was my issue. Overall, we would love to return and experience it in the summer. Iceland is truly magical.

We had a beautiful stay at the cottage with friends. The scenery is beautiful that you could stay the whole time but it is not too far out of the way to drive to other locations to explore. There is a cleaning list but nothing extensive. It was obvious the people who stayed before us didn’t listen to the rules of not leaving food behind because we did find opened ice cream bars in the freezer when we arrived.

Private, peaceful, wonderful

We stayed at this home for 5 nights and it was absolutely wonderful. The location is just far enough from Reykjavik and surrounds to feel more private and remote, without feeling too far away from any of it. The views of the fjord and the surrounds is spectacular. The home is even more impressive than the pictures. There is so much more to share about this amqzing house and we highly recommend it to anyone.

Amazing property. Really enjoyed staying there and would definitely recommend and/or stay again if the occasion arose.Yes, it is remote and requires car hire from there to see the sights but it was exactly what we wanted. Using the hot tub overlooking the water with that amazing view! Bucket list items ticked!!

Perfect getaway

This property was perfect for my husband and I. We saw the northern lights from the deck 2 out of the 6 nights we stayed. The kitchen was stocked with coffee pods and spices. Figuring out how to regulate the temp in the hot tub took a day, but we learned how long to leave the lid off to acheuve the perfect twmp.

An easy drive to Reykjavik and beautiful scenic routes to Akranes and other destinations. We couldn’t have asked for a better start to our trip!
