Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Reykjavíkurborg

Beautiful home! Spacious and clean, perfect for my group of 5. The plentiful decor was tasteful and living room is cozy with large couch. Location was quiet and private, conveniently near a Bonus, and close to major highways. The space is well stocked: Whether you need laundry related products, extra pasta sauce, quality coffee machine, etc you can find it. Would highly recommend for a cozy stay, truly like a home away from home.

A perfect place for our family of three. Removed enough from Reykavik but a great home base for all of our adventures in the area. The house and grounds are beautiful and relaxing. The host family is so nice and great for recommendations. Finding the house, parking, checking in/out was all very easy. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Tara’s home was a great find. It’s close to the city center (15ish minute drive) in a quiet residential area. Kitchen is fully equipped to cook full meals, grill outside, grocery store 2 minutes away. Book, games and toys for the kids including soccer and basketballs. Everything we could need was available. She was quick to respond to questions and was kind enough to let us check in early after our red eye flight. Highly recommend.

We loved our stay at this house! Spent two nights in Reykjavik and this was a great spot to walk to everything. Neighborhood felt safe, we let our teens walk home at night by themselves. House was adorable, everything as described and very comfortable. Loved the character and charm of an older home! Bjorn was responsive and I would stay here again. Thanks!

Nice house in in good area, a lot of space and light. Many games and toys for kids! 10 min by walk to the bus terminal.

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.

Excellent location and plenty of bedrooms :-) Walkable to all the major downtown areas. However, you should be aware that the stairs between the upper floor and the lower floor are very steep, and there is no handrail for the lower section. If you have mobility concerns on stairs, exercise caution, since the only bathroom is downstairs, and the kitchen and living areas are upstairs. We managed to make it work, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Drifa’s home was lovely. The neighbourhood is set outside central Reykjavik and the walk into town is about 25 minutes. It is right next to the sea. It was snowing when we stayed and was in between Christmas and New Year. Everything looked so pretty with the Christmas lights. Beds are comfy, it is quiet at night, feels totally safe. Clean, spacious and homely for my family of 5.

The house is warm and welcoming. It was spotless and had everything we needed. It’s in a great location with supermarkets and cafes close by. It’s only a short drive into Reykjavík. Our kids really enjoyed having a play area right outside the building. Highly recommend

A beautiful apartment that looks just like the photos! Comfy beds, spacious living room, well-stocked and modern kitchen. And super close to the downtown, many parks, and coastline. We really enjoyed our stay here!

This flat is very comfortable (the Icelandic know how to insulate and keep warm - which we gratefully noted as we live in a draughty Victorian house!) and very well fitted and maintained. Pretty much perfect. Lloyd and Raggi were welcoming and helpful and had left a few treats in the fridge which was nice :) They left us to ourselves but were quickly responsive when we had a query. They live in the flat below and met us on arrival there which was helpful. The area is residential and quiet but very close to the central exciting bits of Reykjavik - just five mins walk. Five mins in the other direction you can get to the path around the coast and a black sand beach. So, perfect for us really as we were there for Airwaves. They told us of a local pool which we went to everyday - it was great. There's a local bakery and cafe near the pool, but there's all the stuff in town in the other direction too. Easy access to airport - use Flybus stop 1 at City Hall Much recommended.

Nice, spacious and comfy apartment, good location. We liked the quirkyness and the style as there are many unusual paintings and lots of plants inside. The kitchen is very well equipped and is perfect for cooking. Eilífur was kind to wait for us to show us around the place even though our flight got delayed. City centre is 10-15 min walk, there are three big supermarkets 10 mins walk from the house. We would love to come back one day.

We feel very comfortable. Everything was as described and Einar was a wonderful host.

Really interesting apartment, very clean, comfortable and well equipped. Very accessible location and good to be able to park the car in the driveway. An added bonus was the toys that had been left for the baby to play with - a very thoughtful touch. Unfortunately we could only stay one night - highly recommended and would stay again.

Me and my friends loved Viktor’s place. Great location; within 15 minutes from Reykjavík. Very clean space. Viktor and his family were extremely helpful and responsive. Definitely worth the stay!

Really lovely place with a view of the sea, large grocery store around the corner and great location. We were picked up by Flybus back to KEF at the hotel 1/2 block away. Willi was very quick to respond to any questions and if you like Thai food, don’t miss nearby Banthai Restaurant

We felt very comfortable. The accommodation is simply a dream, chic and modernly furnished, everything you need is there. It was clean and we felt right at home. The view is of course a highlight, which we enjoyed every morning at breakfast. We would come back:)

We spent a wonderful weekend just before Christmas at Ingvar's place. The apartment was beautiful, spotlessly clean, elegantly furnished and most of all lovely, warm and comfortable. Ingvar was a responsive and helpful host and our family loved our stay. We knew the area from a previous visit and it's just a short walk into the centre of Reykjavik. Ingvar and his apartment are highly recommended, especially to those with children and we would love to come back! We truly felt right at home.

Hronn and her husband were fantastic. After a red eye flight, we were hoping to check in early. After reaching out, Hronn said we could check in at 10:15am! This was AMAZING! We actually happened to meet Hronn and her husband at the door and they were lovely people. Her husband even pointed out some things with the door to the parking garage. 10/10 would stay here again.

Styrmir’s house was beautiful and was everything we needed on our trip. It was conveniently located by several grocery stores, not to mention being very close to the city center. It also had very easy access to the major highways out of Reykjavik, making day trips extremely easy. Styrmir was one of the most helpful and communicative hosts. He was a font of incredibly helpful information and continuously checked in to see how we were doing. The cats in the house were one of the best parts. They were super cute, extremely friendly, and made the stay that much more enjoyable. We would absolutely recommend this to anyone and would definitely stay here again!

Excellent accommodation, very quiet and pleasant neighborhood. We were there for the new year it was beautiful.

My family and I stayed here for Christmas and New Years! The location was perfect for going in and out of town to look for the northern lights and still close to the city center for shopping! Hradnildur also gave us a list of recommendations which helped us find the hidden gems!

Hurnd and Davio’s place had a modern Scandinavian flair and it came with a well equipped open kitchen which connects to a dining room where 6-8 people can dine comfortably. The living room is so cozy as well and there were unblocked view for sunrise and sunset everyday, we really enjoyed our time experiencing Icelandic nature and there are also some outdoor seatings to get some fresh air. There were the two of us staying this time and the main purpose was for work. As we had some free time we did make use of the #14 bus which is just 2 mins walk from the apartment and runs to the city center and big church. The grocery is also just 15 mins walk away. Hrund even left us a personal message and she ensured our stay was hassle free with explanation of how the trash is sorted. The toilet was really nicely designed too and you can always count on the geothermal water coming out from the tap for a nice hot shower. We would definitely stay with Hrund and Davio again in the future!

Awesome on both of our visits! Highly recommend, Harpa is a wonderful host and her home is awesome!
