Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Heimaey

Clean, comfortable, and cozy—the perfect base for exploring southern Iceland! Our family of four enjoyed our stay here very much. Plus, they have the sweetest dog who greets you everyday.

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

Nous avons passé une nuit agréable dans cette maison très bien équipée. Le lieu est paisible et très beau, à proximité de la belle rivière Hvita.

This was a beautiful house and location. We used it as more of a stopover on the way back across the south of the country, but I would have happily stayed here a few days and used it as a base, with a lot of the waterfalls and activities in the area. Gorgeous scenery all around and great for viewing aurora since it’s dark and remote. The house was comfortable, cozy, well supplied. The stairs to the loft are definitely steep, more like a ladder, in case that matters to you, but the upstairs is great with two bedrooms. He was very helpful in advance making sure to send exact directions and a google map for finding it. I hope we return to Iceland and would definitely stay here again.

Our stay at Larus’ accommodation was magical. Such a beautiful and restful setting, we felt relaxed instantaneously. The space was spotless with everything considered. The hot tubs and sauna were wonderful luxuries with the verandas thoughtfully sheltered from the breeze and the kayak’s in the lake which our boys enjoyed. The communication from start to when we left was proactive and clear with Kamil kindly meeting us at the cottages to guide us to the house and show us around. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return soon.

We had a lovely stay in Helga's cozy cabin. She was extremely responsive and provided highly detailed instructions. The house was beautiful and very well stocked. Highly recommend booking Helga's cabin!

Kids enjoyed the most because of the PlayStation .We loved the cute radio playing in the morning during breakfast and the coffee machine was perfect ! We were very comfortable in your house . House was perfect for a family of 4. Also loved the attractions folder . We enjoyed the Mexican food from the food truck company and the ice creams from the local shop. Watched a nice movie together last night . Was home away from home . Thanks a lot .

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!

Alloggio all’interno di una farm in posizione strategica e comoda per le tante attrazioni nei dintorni. I nostri vicini di casa, gli splendidi cavalli islandesi!!

We had a wonderful stay. The studio apartment is large, clean, private and comfortable, and located in a very peaceful but convenient area. Octavian was a very friendly host and we were welcomed with some fresh fruit and treats which was very kind. The apartment was well equipped for cooking. It is walking distance to Skogafoss and Kvernufoss which is very convenient. We would highly recommend a stay!

Thank you so much to Veronique for giving us such a warm, cosy, comfortable place to stay. Very peaceful, quiet, lots of parking and amazing sunsets. Everything was perfect; kitchen and bathroom had everything we needed, it was very very clean and Veronique was 100% responsive very quickly with any questions we had. The location is also perfect because positioned just off the main road from Reykjavik/Selfoss to all the attractions on the way to Vik and further east. We would heartily recommend Veronique and her lovely property to anyone staying in the south of Iceland.

This was a great spot to stay, Fanney left great instructions - we are just sorry our stay was so short.

We have enjoyed this place, very peaceful and perfectly situated to visit the Golden Circle sites. The housing is quite basic, but sufficient and very comfortable. We recommend this place.

Dana was an extraordinary host who went above and beyond to help make my stay as enjoyable as possible. Very responsive and friendly and easy to approach. As a solo female traveller I felt very safe and comfortable which can be quite rare. Everything was perfect. The place was immaculate and the location was exactly where I needed to be to decompress. Dana demonstrates True hospitality and I look forward to returning sometime soon!

We really enjoyed the scenery and the peacefulness. We were hoping to see the northern lights and the lighting there was great for it but unfortunately weather didn’t cooperate. All went well and appreciate her kindbess

Really nice place in a quiet location. A short drive to the Golden Circle tourist spots

el apartamento muy grande, con todas las comodidades, mejor que en las fotos, es la casa particular de la anfitriona que es muy amable y contesta muy rápido. estaba todo muy limpio y debes dejarlo limpio a la salida puesto que no se paga en la reserva el servicio de limpieza. también tuvimos que hacernos las camas pero las instrucciones están muy bien indicadas ! estuvimos muy a gusto!!

We had a wonderful stay at Heiða’s studio apartment! She was very responsive and helpful with the check-in process. The location was very convient to Skógafoss and had beautiful surroundings. We were even able to see the Northern Lights right outside! The apartment and bathroom was spacious and we were able to cook a lovely dinner in the kitchen. There was also plenty of parking and it was easy to find the apartment.

It was wonderful to stay at Arna's family second home. Great hostess. My first nice Airbnb experience. This apartment is very well situated and close to a lot of sights. The town of Selfoss is charming and easy to walk.. Highly recommend staying at her place. You will love this place. Very nice indeed. Thank you Arna. :-)

We had a great stay in Selfoss. The condo is tucked into a complex of sorts. There is a playground very close which was great for our kids. The condo was very cozy, clean and comfortable. We were out sightseeing most of our time and this was a great “home base”. Not much to see right around the condo but that didn’t bother us. The condo had everything we needed and more. Thanks for a great stay!!

This was our favorite place we stayed while in Iceland. The most picturesque setting, quiet, and a great location. We looked at hotels and then found this - so glad we stayed here instead. The horse farm is beautiful and they clearly have a very professional operation, we were super impressed with the facilities, and loved the horses, dogs and farm cat. Someone was there to greet us and show us around, which was helpful. We liked being just a few minutes from Hella, where there was a market and vinboudin (ABC store), as well as a few restaurants and coffee. We explored as far as Vik and back, and that whole area was our favorite part of the trip. We spent 2 nights but could have spent another. Just a fantastic spot! The pool, hot tub and sauna were one of the main reasons we booked this property and we used them every day. We thought they were incredible and the views from the hot tub were just gorgeous. Do not hesitate to book!

Our family of four stayed 6 days at Margret’s apartment. It was equipped with everything we needed - the small commodities like coffee and tea bags, salt and pepper were very nice to see. The local sweets left by the host were a nice gesture too :). The apartment was spacious enough for the 4 of us to stay comfortably. The host is extremely responsive. All of my messages were responded to within minutes. When I mentioned that the kettle wasn't working on the evening of our first day, it was left by the door early next day. There were some crumbs on the wardrobe shelves and some dog hair (I think) in some places but that didn't bother us. We just cleaned it with the available equipment and detergents. We'd definitely stay there again if we were returning to Iceland.

Merci pour ces deux nuits, logement pratique et bien situé, bien équipé y compris pour les enfants (notre fils de 6 ans était ravi de trouver les jeux)

Great tiny apartment. It's on a residential area but close to different attractions and a supermarket.
