Family-friendly vacation rentals in Garðabær

This was a great stay. Smooth self check in. And the host was friendly and responsive if needed. Would highly recommend

Lovely place if you are looking for some peace and quiet. It’s also a good location to see the Northern Lights - they were right above us!

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

We had a great stay at this location. It is about 30 min from Reykjavik which was not a problem for us at all. It is located in a super quiet area literally right next to a lake. We are a family of 4, so we used all three bedrooms which as great for us. It is not a large cabin, but we spent so little time at the cabin that it did not bother us at all. We used the Hot tub in the back yard every day and enjoyed the view over the lake and mountains. It is close to a number of hiking trails and waterfalls, and it was exactly what we had hoped for. The host is AMAZING, by far the most responsive host we have ever had, and offered super good information for trips, shopping etc. We ended our trip by watching the Northern Lights right from our back yard patio. I would recommend this to anyone looking for nature, hikes and amazing views.

Great to see the refrigerator loaded with some eatables. Very helpful to have quick breakfast before leaving to airport.

Matti was very responsive and helpful. Check-in and check-out were very easy. His place is near the airport.

Amazing place and host! Great location close to downtown and easy access to hiking and golden circle! Would go back!!

This was our first time in Iceland and I’m so glad we chose Helga’s beautiful cabin to stay. The surroundings are amazing and something we will never forget. The house had everything we needed to be comfortable for the week. It was cozy, quiet, and felt private even with cabins nearby. Off the beaten path but close to our first stop on the Golden Circle. We enjoyed the hot tub, very relaxing after a lot of driving and hiking. We weren’t sure we’d see the northern lights so late in the season but ended up seeing them our last two days - right from the cabin deck and living room windows. After such a great trip, I hope to return to Iceland someday soon!

Hannes is an excellent host and communicator. It was a great stay and experience, we will be back again. Thank you Hannes! 😃

Thank you Inga for the lovely stay! 10/10

If you are looking for a comfortable, affordable stay in Reykjavik, this is the place for you. Great amenities including a large back yard, large living space with a Smart TV and playstation, and a fireplace. Kitchen with everything needed to cook for yourself and avoid the pricey Reykjavik Restaurant scene. Located on a quiet street with easy access to the highway (rental car recommended for sure).

The directions given to us for getting from the airport to the apartment were concise and easy to follow. Checking in was an easy process thanks to the instructions given to us. The apartment was well presented, very clean and warm. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds and pillows were extremely comfortable. It was a ten minute walk to the old town where there were many restaurants and bars. We’d definitely stay in this apartment again.

Asta was so helpful with local recommendations, and her house was clean welcoming. We had everything we needed right at our fingertips. The sauna and hot tub were great for relaxing. The location was perfectly central for exploring the Reykjavik peninsula.

Lovely stay with a nice warm fire. Would definitely recommend.

Magnea’s apartment was fantastic. Clean, comfortable, warm and very well appointed. The apartment decor is not only comfortable but so cute and thoughtful. I loved all the local touches. And the location can’t be beat!! Right across from the sea with fantastic views. Great for relaxing and watching the world go by, which was my entire agenda. I also found it easy to walk to the small grocery store for food as well as the bus stop to ride into Reykjavik - take the #55 to the #1, and then voila! Magnea was very responsive and helpful - a perfect host. I would definitely stay here again!!

Place was just as described and the most spacious of the three places we stayed in Iceland. Great recommendations and walkable to some great food

Elsa's house is the perfect place to stay while exploring the golden circle and south of Iceland. The house is very cosy but definitely not too small for a family of five, well equipped and in walking distance from the beach. The hot tub is just amazing and also has a really great view. We stayed for a week and enjoyed every minute of it.

We had an unforgettable stay at this Airbnb property in Vogar. The house was impeccably clean, spacious, and fully equipped with everything we needed, including a full kitchen, comfortable living areas fireplace, washer/dryer, and lovely deck overlooking the water. The location was stunning—remote yet offering breathtaking views of the sunset, black sand beach, mountains and we even saw the northern lights on three of the four nights we stayed. Ólafur the host was incredibly communicative and thoughtful. After long days of exploring Iceland’s natural beauty, relaxing in the hot tub was a perfect way to unwind. This was truly one of the best stays we’ve ever had, and we look forward to returning and recommending this property to friends. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful, scenic, and comfortable Icelandic getaway that is centrally located. 15 minutes from the airport and Blue Lagoon, 35 minutes to Reykjavík, and easily accessible to the highway for road trips.

Cosy studio within walking distance of restaurants and attractions. Plenty of parking on the street if you’re looking to rent a car. Loved the water pressure makes for such a refreshing shower. As described cosy and tucked away. Will book again when we return

Spent one week at Asta's place with my partner. Great location that was a short walk to the city center. The space was perfect for two people and the check-in was easy. Would absolutely stay again if we go back to Reykjavik.

The apartment was beautiful and very comfortable, even for a longer stay. It was comfortable and spacious, with plenty of storage space. It was easy to feel right at home! Loved the view of the garden which backed up to a quiet neighborhood parked. I even saw the northern lights from the apartment windows a few times. The apartment has a great location with access to shops and the bus lines to head downtown or to Reykjavik's many attractions. Siggi was very welcoming and helpful when I had questions. I would definitely stay here again!

Good location 10-15 mins easy walk into town. Simple to find and park on the street outside (for free) Powerful shower and comfortable main bedroom bed with a variety of pillows. Also the first Airbnb I have rented where leaving my washing up was expected/came under the cleaning fee along with putting bins out etc. Brilliant! Made for a much more relaxed departure. Be aware the glass is single pane in all windows so on very cold evenings (it was -8 plus windchill when I arrived) it was a little cool for me in the apartment even with the radiators all whacked right up. However, generally more than warm enough.

Jette’s house is ideally located to get into Reykjavík and to get out into the absolutely stunning countryside. Located just of the motorway But well soundproofed and superbly insulated you certainly won’t get cold. Jette stayed in contact just enough but felt approachable at the same time. Plenty of grocery shops around so you can cook in the well equipped kitchen. By car it takes about 5-10 mins to get into the old town. Have fun.

It is a cozy, warm, comfortable, and convenient apartment—perfect for our family of four. It was really nice to be able to relax and cook some easy dinners in this apartment after our long days exploring the areas around Reykjavik. Thanks for providing us with three good nights in your nice apartment.
