Family-friendly vacation rentals in Grindavik

Eyjolfur’s property was the perfect home base for my 17-year old son and I to spend a week! We mainly explored the northwest corner of the country and this was perfect for that. It was also very easy to get into Reykjavík for more dining options and shopping. The privacy and quiet made coming home after a long day of hiking very welcome! The amenities meant that we cooked most of our meals at home and were able to pack food to take with us. And a coffee maker! Excellent for combatting jet lag. 10/10 would rent again!

The host was very polite and responsive. The location was amazing. We found everything we expected and had a great time in the cottage.

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!

Efficient accommodation

I booked Emma and Oskars place for clients of mine, they were very happy, communication was great, I can well recommend.

An amazing peaceful retreat, yet close enough for all the sightseeing we wanted to do.. dark skies provided an amazing opportunity to see the Northern lights!

Such a comfortable stay well located near Selfoss and the park. Secluded but easy to access. The best appointed kitchen I’ve seen in an Airbnb. Made our stay very easy

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

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.

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.

Elín’s “house of happiness” is nothing short of a dream come true! My husband and I loved every single second at this incredible secluded cabin outside of Selfoss and already dreaming of our next trip back. Elín is a warm and accommodating host, you won’t find a lovelier and more thoughtful host out there. And don’t get us started on the outdoor shower! It has the perfect temperature and pressure! Do not hesitate to book this stay. You’ll be so happy you did it! Thank you, Elín for your hospitality! We’ll be back!

A lovely cabin in peaceful surroundings — the perfect place to recharge and enjoy a relaxing holiday. Highly recommended!

Amazing place. We sat in the hottub at night with - 10 degrees while it was pitch black. A moment we will never forget. The place looked even better than on the pictures. We cooked at the place two nights, the oven is amazing and all the equipment is there. Linda responded very quick and was very nice. Thank you Linda!!

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!!

Location was perfect for sightseeing near and far. The airbnb was very comfortable and warm with a well equipped kitchen. Trausti was a great host. I would highly recommend this place.

A beautiful little cabin in a gorgeous area with stunning views. I used this as my home base from which to explore the Golden Circle. The cabin was clean and tidy, the kitchen had all the basics, and there were some lovely touches including chocolate bars, some seltzer, a full carton of milk and cereal. And the heated towel rack was an incredible luxury that I used every day! Sylvia was not there and did not respond to my message telling her what time I would arrive, but her very nice and helpful husband Gylfi greeted me when I arrived and gave me a tour. He also came out to say goodbye when I left and we had a nice chat. I would like to have used the hot tub but it wasn't especially clean. I ended up at the nearby hot pot Secret Lagoon anyway, which was great, so it was not a big loss.

Very nice and clean accommodation and very friendly and helpful hosts. I can highly recommend it.

Inga was a wonderful host! She met us outside offered to help with our bags. Suggested restaurants in the area and also a spot to hopefully catch the northern lights! Her place was clean and welcoming! Bed was extremely comfortable! Cute neighborhood too!

Georg was very quick to respond to questions. He gave very clear, helpful directions as it isn’t easy to find. House was clean, view from the large living room window was lovely.

This house was perfect. The hostesses met us when we arrived, gave us instructions on things they wanted us to make sure we knew (for safety and such due to the temperatures), and spent around 2 hours giving us a tour and history of the house. It was absolutely perfect for what we needed and they were so thoughtful with all of their recommendations for activities with our children. We 100% recommend this house to others and we will be coming back in the future!

Stayed here for 3 weeks to study, so we rented the entire apartment. The location was perfect, lovely parks and an ice rink nearby, and only a short bus ride or 25 minute walk by the sea to downtown reykjavik. Kitchen had everything you would need to cook and clean. Hakon had loads or information left available on tours, bus routes, restaurants etc, that were very helpful. A home away from home.

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!
