Family-friendly vacation rentals in Sommarøy

A beautiful cabin at a beautiful location, nice hosts and good size bedrooms.

Stunning views and location, and so cozy. Highlights are the jacuzzi, sauna, access to take a dip in the fjord, the fireplace in the living room, the comfy beds, and fully kitted out kitchen with a great coffee machine. Host was very nice and always responsive. Highly recommend!

Elisabeth is a very nice host, proactive and super welcoming ! Be sure that you will have all the attentions necessary to enjoy your stay more than expected (local recommendations, regular message with weather update before and during your stay). The house is fully equipped and very cosy so that you can spent cosy days inside when the weather in Senja is not the most beautiful :) I can only recommend at 100% !!

The place was just as described, super cozy and with a fantastic view. Arthur gave us a very warm welcome, gave us some tips for Tromsø and even brought drinks for the hot tub. We felt very comfortable and would come back anytime. Thank you :)

An absolutely successful stay in Norway. Very friendly and uncomplicated communication from start to finish. We felt completely comfortable. The house is a dream to unplug. Quiet location with a great view. Sauna, hot tub or a cozy fire in the fireplace help with this. We did not miss anything in the house. We would come back any time, it was really great. Thank you for everything.

Per was an exceptional host! Out of 100 stays, he is by far the best host we have had. Per made sure everything was perfect for the stay. The kids loved the snow on the farm and Per sorted out a sledding hill for them along with all the bits and bobs needed to enjoy the cold weather. He went above and beyond and I am grateful for the hospitality and love that he showed myself, wife, and three kids. Thank you!

Stay and book within the city of Tromsø for 2-3 days and the rest of your stay, you MUST book one of Freddy’s campers. Beyond the city, you will see the real beauty of Tromsø. We stayed at Freddy’s place for 5 nights! Within six days, 1. We saw the Aurora Borealis dancing right in front of Freddy’s property. 2. We watched the most beautiful green, pink, purple Aurora Borealis during our last night right at Freddy’s backyard. 💚💜💖 3. We hiked twice in different areas 30-mins away by driving from Freddy’s place, 4. We had a walk in the nearby area 5. We ate quail eggs (gifted to us by Freddy). 6. There was a day when we just stayed in the camper, enjoyed the view and read a book. We also walked around the area that day. 7. From afar, we saw Moose and Reindeers. 8. Max the cat, the ducks and Geese are a plus! So adorable! We really wanted to get around the places outside the city, good thing Freddy had an extra car for us to rent. We can assure you, renting a car and driving around is worth the view, worth the everything! 😉 The camper was clean, complete and organize as we arrived. For two people, it is very spacious. The view from the window is stunning. The camper is well-heated. 30mins away, there is a local grocery store. We ate there once and we liked it, and we did our groceries from there too. Karin welcomed us and explained to us everything. Freddy was very helpful with many tips to give us. You can ask him anything about Tromsø. He lent us snow shoes and walking sticks for hiking. We wouldn’t have hiked without it. They are both hospitable and very interesting people to talk with. So if you’re planning a trip outside of Tromsø city, Freddy’s camper is the place to be!

We cannot say enough about how lovely our stay was at this beautiful property. The views, the comfortable accommodations, the sauna and jacuzzi, cozy and well supplied kitchen…Tromvik Lodge had it all! We really appreciated how responsive Tore was since we needed some guidance with it being our first time in Norway. He made everything accessible for us and we felt right at home. Despite it being cloudy during our stay, we had two spectacular nights viewing the Aurora borealis! It was a dream come true in the most perfect setting at this lodge.

Nick and Penny were extremely helpful and helped us to settle down when we arrived, got us some essential groceries and guided us. The surroundings are peaceful and have a great view. We could see dancing Northern lights at midnight from their apartment. It was a beautiful experience to stay at their apartment.

we had a great time staying at Melissa's home. The views from the cabin are amazing!! Everything was exactly as described.

Amazing job of converting boathouse into very nice living quarters. Hosts are friendly, responsive, and provide very good info on what to do in the area. We saw northern lights over the marina during our March stay. Turn on Youtube, put on a crackling fire, and enjoy watching the boat traffic pass by. A big snowstorm came in before and during our stay and they did a great job of keeping the driveway clear. The road from Tromso was also fine for driving during our winter stay. We got a few groceries and the kitchen had everything we needed. Cabin is warm and cozy, VERY clean. Great location for exploring the area. We would stay here again.

The apartment is located in a quiet area at the top of the mountain. The bus stop is a few hundred meters away. Across the street you have a beautiful view of the city, on the last evening we watched the northern lights over the house, the city and the Storsteinen from there, really very nice. For skiers (cross-country skiing), the area is perfect. In the immediate vicinity are several illuminated cross-country trails (e.g. Charlottenlund or Prestvatnet). I also liked the Tromsø Alpine Park. They are very nice hosts, I didn't have to ask any questions, as everything was already answered via the Airbnb app (code for the key box, Wi-Fi, garbage separation, access to the apartment, ...). Since it was not my first stay in Tromsø, I did not need excursion tips, but there are several brochures for this on the shelf. By bus you are in the city in about 10 minutes. The surroundings (generally northern Norway) are beautiful.

Lovely cozy old small cottage house, immediately felt like home <3 A little squank so vertigo on the first evening but it passed the next day. Went for daily morning swims in the sea, baked bread and skiid mountains. Perfect peaceful location on Kvaloya. Especially lovely snd functional kitchen, even had a smoothie blender and beautiful bowls. The road to the house tends to be undrivable if it snows and slushes but it worked great to arrange snow clearing directly with Siv’s brother Gaute who lives nearby (because if you park near the main road, then nobody can clear the snow). Ha det bra och tusen tack för allt!

We spent 2 weeks at Kristian's house and it was just perfect for us! Fantastic location overlooking the sea and mountains and incredibly quiet. The house was spotlessly clean upon arrival and it was easy for us to feel immediately comfortable. The two rocking chairs quickly became our favorite place in the house. Vangsvik was an ideal base for us to explore the surrounding area, the west and north of Senja. The small grocery store in town is open 24/7, which is great! We simply made larger purchases during our day trips and Finnsnes is also very easy to reach in 20 minutes by car. Communication with Kristian was excellent. On our day of departure, we even got the opportunity to use the house for a few more hours after the actual check-out time, so we could pack in peace. Thanks again for that, Kristian!

We had an amazing time at the cabin. It was even better than the pictures. Very cosy and tastefully decorated, well equipped kitchen, wonderful oven and sauna… and the view was just beautiful. It’s a great place to rewind and just be. You will need a car. There’s nothing but nature around you. But it’s a gem. Don’t miss it!

The chalet is perfect for spending a few days there. The view from the terrace is beautiful! There are very beautiful hikes to do near the accommodation.

We thoroughly enjoyed the stay. The view from the house to the fjord is fantastic! The house is very nice and cozy. The sauna is also very nice and also offers a beautiful view of the fjord. Would book again in a heartbeat!

Very nice place with sea and mountain views Very good and well equipped kitchen.

I was allowed to stay at Bjørn's Airbnb 2 years ago and fell in love with the house and surroundings. I would claim that Bjørn owns one of the nicest Airbnb on this platform. But not only the house and the breathtaking view of the fjord but also the extremely friendly hospitality of Bjørn makes this place so special.

We had a great and relaxing week. Björn would be reachable in case we would have nedeed him. Nice Nordic Lights were great and the location is quiet with great ocean views and really away from everything .

Cleand and tidy and super close to Tromso downtown with a grocery store next door. Place was comfortable for the three of us with room to spare. Had everything you need to make your stay comfy.

This was our first visit to Tromsø, and we couldn’t have found a better place to stay. About 30 minutes drive from the city, the apartment is beautifully located by the fjord—peaceful and scenic. Susann and her family were warm and welcoming. We travelled with our 1.5-year-old and were touched by the thoughtful touches—travel cot, age-appropriate toys, books, and even a winter suit for our little one. The weather turned out colder than expected, but thankfully the hosts had winter gear like suits and crampons available for rent at reasonable prices. We especially enjoyed the campfire spot (we were there 2 afternoons during our 4nights stay) and were so grateful when they cleared the snowy path for us after hearing we couldn’t find it. The apartment was clean, spacious, and perfect for our family of three. Highly recommended—Susann and Jørgen are wonderful hosts!

Our stay at this beautiful home was absolutely unforgettable. We spent three nights here and were thrilled to witness the mesmerizing Northern Lights during our visit. The house has breathtaking views and a stunning, thoughtfully designed interior that made every moment feel special. Hanne went above and beyond by providing incredibly helpful information on everything—from the local weather updates to fantastic recommendations for nearby attractions and dining spots. Their support truly enhanced our overall experience. We highly recommend this charming place to anyone looking to explore the beauty of the region while enjoying a comfortable and memorable stay.

Everything went smoothly. Highly recommended.
