Seaside Apartment, Fifteen Minutes From Capital

4.99 out of 5 average rating, 351 reviews2 months ago

10/10. Maria and her family were wonderful hosts. From letting my children play with their pets to allowing us flexible check in and out due to our flight times, this listing is an absolute gem. Great water (drinking and bathing), beautiful yard, killer views. We saw the northern lights right from our windows multiple nights. I wish we could have stayed forever!

Barn house by the sea

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 152 reviews1 month ago

The barn house was beautifully built and decorated with spectacular views. The skylight windows were perfect for watching for the northern lights. The kitchen had all the basics and some extras like a nespresso machine and pods. We enjoyed cooking there and using the hot tub. The washer and dryer were super helpful. It was a great launching place for the Golden Circle. Stokkseyri is a cute little town with a great local pool. The turf house across the street was fun to explore as was the beach on the other side of the turf wall. It is very near Bakkahestar for highly recommended Icelandic horse rides with a local couple on the beach in Eyrarbakki. Nearby Selfoss has anything you need including an amazing fish market Fiskbud Suderlands for great prices on fresh caught local fish. Kristinn was very responsive and we loved our stay!

Cabin w/ hot-tub & enchanting views

4.81 out of 5 average rating, 188 reviews1 month ago

We loved our stay here, the cabin is far enough off the main road that you have real privacy, peace and quiet and more importantly…limited light pollution to spot the northern lights. Despite it’s isolation it’s not too far from the local town with Selfoss only being 15-20 minutes away, meaning it’s very convenient to go out for meals or bringing back shopping before you settle in for the night. Beautiful surroundings, really cosy and homely, perfect location should the Northern Lights show and well worth what we paid, we’ll definitely be returning here

A charming country home near a national park

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 177 reviews1 month ago

This was hands down the nicest, cosiest Airbnb we've stayed at. Anna Maria was friendly and helpful and her house is fantastic - the beds were comfy, the kitchen was fully stocked and then some (the coffee machine was especially fabulous). Our kids enjoyed the puzzles, board games, arts & crafts, movie collection, and space to stretch out and play in the house and yard. You can see the stunning mountains and the sea from the windows and there's tons of beautiful places to see and hike nearby. It was definitely a good idea to buy groceries in Borgarnes on the way to Arnarstapi. We would definitely choose to stay there again!

Private Little Cottage - South Iceland ★★★★★

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 106 reviews7 months ago

The cottage is definitely “little”, and the bedroom is possibly the smallest I’ve ever slept in. However, the use of space is very smart and efficient, and personal touches and care are evident everywhere. The agricultural setting is lovely, and several times we were amused to find our departure slowed by a herd of cattle being driven down our access road to another pasture. The host, Heidar, was extremely responsive and attentive, particularly tipping us that the Northern Lights might be seen the last night…and we stayed up to see a spectacular display!
