Family-friendly vacation rentals in Akranes

Perfect cabin for a trip to Iceland! It was small but that's what we were expecting from the description, and the space was enough for our needs. The host was very quick to respond anytime we had a question. Would definitely recommend!

We loved the cabin- very peaceful, super well equipped, fantastic hot tub. It was a great base for all the Goldeb Circle highlights. Kristinn was a helpful and responsive host. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend.

We had a lovely time staying here! GORGEOUS location and so peaceful. Felt right at home here, it was truly a beautiful stay.

The cabins sit on a road away from where reception is, and the instructions were clear to get there. The hot tub does take a while to fill up, since it is filled with geothermal spring water, but it is definitely a must in Iceland. Relaxing in the hot tub after a long day of hiking and traveling the Golden Circle was a perfect ending.

This was the perfect place to stay at the end of our trip, considering it was right around the corner from where we had to drop of our rental car. Thorhildur was very accomodating and had great communication, and by far it was the best place we stayed all week with black out curtains! The neighbourhood was quiet and there was plenty of information included for the area so we could enjoy a few last minute places before we left Iceland.

Nice home convenient to the Golden Circle. Sandra had great communication and was very helpful when we arrived late in the day. Home was tidy and included at the promised amenities. We wish we could have had more time in the area and in this home.

Amazing location, beautiful, elegant, cozy, warm cottage with magical nature all around. We had a restful, regenerative vacation, truly enjoyed the lovely hot tub and the wonderful cottage. Quiet (except for many lovely birds, that were such a joy to watch) and remote, yet perfect for trips to many amazing sights. Linda is a generous and kind host, who answers messages immediately and is always helpful when there is a question. We look forward to coming again hopefully soon! Thank you so much, dear Linda! :)

This was the cutest place to stay! Súsanna was so kind and helpful! I cannot recommend it enough! Plus she has the cutest dogs that greet you when you pull into the driveway!

One of the best places we stayed while in Iceland. We were able to walk to the private black sand beach to watch the sunset. So picturesque and beautiful. The yurt was very comfortable. The heated beds were perfect. Even caught a glimpse of the northern lights! Cannot recommend this place enough.

Great cabin at a great location, close to lots of nice sightseeing. The cabin itself feels very homey, and had lots to play with for our 1,5 yo old son. Agnes is a great host as well!

This place was peaceful, gorgeous, and exactly what I was looking for. The view was amazing, centrally located near both the golden circle and restaurants and amenities in selfoss. Sigrun and Sigurdur were wonderful hosts. The little stream chuckling beside the place was lovely. I would stay here again.

If you’re looking for a quiet getaway that’s also close to attractions around the golden circle (1 hour or even less for Kerid crater) and south coast (1-2 hours depending on where you are going), this is the place. Steinunn’s cabin is up on her family farm property, and it was restful and gorgeous. The only downside is that we only had a few days there - if we had more time we certainly would have explored more of the farm and area around.

Fabulous apartment with very easy access from airport. Comfy seats with the best view, close to shops & restaurants. We stayed for our first couple of nights in Iceland & was the perfect base to explore. Thank you!

Liebevoll eingerichtetes , gut ausgestattetes und sauberes Haus . Sehr ruhige Lage und von hier aus ist der Golden Circle wunderbar entspannt zu erkunden . Es gibt in Selfoss sehr gute Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Trausti ist sehr angenehm und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können die Unterkunft sehr empfehlen.

Of course! Here’s a shorter version: ⸻ A Truly Special Stay Staying at Johanna’s place was the highlight of our trip to Iceland. Knowing it was built by her father made it feel incredibly personal and meaningful—there’s a warmth and charm in every detail. Johanna was a fantastic host: kind, responsive, and always ready with thoughtful recommendations that made our visit even more memorable. The location is peaceful and perfectly situated for exploring. We left feeling connected not just to Iceland, but to the story behind this beautiful home. Absolutely unforgettable!

Wonderful host, charming Airbnb. Niels was a great host, very welcoming and he offered suggestions on places to see in the area. The Airbnb is charmingly decorated with a variety of antiques. The home was spotlessly clean and the views are magnificent. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Björgvin is a great host and his place was everything our group was looking for. Remote house, with a hot tub, grill and good vibes. The location and the view from the terrace is beautiful with only a few minutes drive to the nearest town. Björgvin was really friendly and offered his assistance if we needed anything which was a nice touch.

pasamos dos noches en la cabaña. supero todas nuestras expectativas. La casa cuenta con todo el equipamiento descrito. La bañera de agua caliente marco la diferencia. En plena naturaleza, cuidada y limpia . El anfitrión comunicativo y educado. repetiríamos.

Wir hatten zu viert einen schönen Aufenthalt in Kristinns hübschem Haus. Super war der HotPot hinter dem Haus mit Blick in die schneebedeckten Bergey Die Kommunikation mit Kristinn verlief problemlos. Nur die Navigation mit den Koordinaten hat nicht so geklappt. Nach einem Telefonat war das Problem schnell gelöst.

We loved our short but sweet stay at this peaceful location. Would definitely return on another trip! A perfect location for Golden Circle or heading further south. Loved it and the surroundings!

Photos were very accurate. The view in the morning was so pretty, and the house wasn’t hard to find. Jonina wasn’t available in person, but her sister helped direct us to the cabin at night, with no problem at all, and was very helpful. We all enjoyed our stay!

A spacious, well lit apartment with great views and walking distance from the city centre. Edda was a very responsive and helpful host. The apartment was equipped with everything needed for a long trip to Iceland. We would definitely stay there again!

A well-equipped, spacious basement appartment in a quiet neighbourhood just outside Reykjavik. It is easy to reach by car, and there are supermarkets, gas stations and charging stations at a 5-minute drive distance. The hosts are very helpful and friendly. And, speaking as a cat lover: there are 2 gorgeous big cats walking around that will come and say hello.

Amazing amenities and location (quiet and residential but close to center!), and very good communication from Konni, even while he was traveling overseas. The neighborhood and neighbors are also very nice. Altogether great experience when traveling with friends or family!
