About this property
House by the ocean. Hot tub and a mountain view.
Hítarneskot is a ocean front private house with a hottube and a mountain view. Hìtarneskot serves as a central location to explore the beautiful surroundings of the Snaefellsnes peninsula, including the Eldborg Volcanic Crater, a nearby geothermal pool, the village of Stykkisholmur, Arnarstapi/Hellnar and the Snaefellsjokull glacier. Hítarneskot is located approximately 10 km (7 miles) from the Eldborg Volcanic Crater, 40 km (25 miles) from the town of Borgarnes, 55 km (34 miles) from the historic town of Stykkisholmur, 75 km (47 miles) from Arnarstappi/Hellnar and the Snaefellsjokull glacier. The house stands by the shore. It is far away from farms in the area so you can enjoy some peace and quiet of Icelandic nature. Our location is ideal for observing the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) as they can be seen from October through March. There are no nearby light that can prevent your experience. The house was refurnished in January 2015. The house was built in 1945 and is a old farm so the house looks old on the outside but is brand new on the inside! Up to nine people can sleep comfortably in the house. Our house have full kitchen (including , toaster, coffee machine, refrigerator, baker oven, kattle, dishwasher.), sitting area, two bathrooms ( one with shower), and outside seating area with new bbq grill. While you sit on the outsite Fresh linens are provided. While sitting on the outside seating you can watch the sunset and the beutifull Snaefellsjokull and if you are lucky you can see wild horses run on the beach. Check-in time is 15:00 and Check-out time is 11:00. Our exact location (latitude/longitude) is: N 64° 42' 53.1'', W 22° 20' 23.1'' (64.714752, -22.339743)
