Thank you so much for opening your home to us! We had such a wonderful stay. It was the perfect size for a group of 5. You have a lovely cozy home and the kitchen was great. We had some fun times in the town as well. We would definitely stay here again! Thanks so much. Dagný always got back to us in a timely manner and answered all our questions.

Iceland holiday

This property was exactly as advertised. It was actually too large for just the two of us, but we chose it primarily for its proximity to the airport, which is very convenient. It was charming and comfortable and we enjoyed our stay.

Comfortable and Convenient Iceland Basecamp

We loved our stay in this historic, lovely home. Communication was great, home was as advertised. We enjoyed the location, which was convenient to many things, and was quieter than Reykjavik. The restaurants in Keflavik are very good. We liked walking along the water. Overall a wonderful stay.

Love the house and the location

We stayed at this place twice and love it. The location is perfect and the house has lots of room for a family. The festival of lights was going on and it caused a little problem with the parking since they closed the road and we were not able to park at the house.

Great Place to Stay in Iceland

The house is beautifully decorated and very cozy with lots of great spaces to hangout. Rooms are comfortable with good beds. Nice views of the water. The cliffs are close by for hiking/walking about. Nice large dining table for gathering and gaming. The location is close to restaurants and near enough to other attractions (e.g. 30 mins to Blue Lagoon).

Nice house in Keflavik

House was beautiful inside and close to dining and shopping in Keflavik. Did have to drive about half an hour to go to Reykjavik, but we didn’t find that to be too much of an issue. Owner was very nice and she responded quickly to any questions I posed….and there were quite a few. House had a great view of the bay from the third floor. Overall great stay!

The listing is not completely honest. Yes it is a 3 story house, but someone lives on the first story. You are only renting the top 2 floor. Most of the bedrooms are on that 3rd floor, which has slopped ceilings that you have to duck under to get to the other side of the bed. The sink was leaking day one, but the host did send out a plumber that same day. We had to descale the coffee machine to get it to work. Seems like there is a lot of unfinished projects and delayed maintenance. This house is also filled with personal things including walls of family photos and religious decorations. I just feel i need to he honest as no of this is listed in the description or other reviews. We otherwise had a wonderful stay in an amazing country.

Perfect location for day trips!

We loved this home and location, local restaurants (cafe Duus and Thai Keflavík were our favorites) and an ice cream shop next door! Walks along the sea cliffs, and really no significant noise from the airport. We found the house to be very clean and cosy and welcoming. We had long wonderful day trips each day, getting back to a lovely home in the evening, with a parking spot next to the house- truly great.

Perfect location

We loved our trip to Iceland. I traveled with my family of 5—3 adult children. The house was so conveniently located near the airport and all of what SW Iceland has to offer! We made day trips to do all the Golden Circle has to offer and more! There is a grocery store and plenty of restaurants in walking distance, although we loved to cook in the beautiful kitchen! The house was equipped with everything we needed...truly a home away from home. Dagny was attentive to our needs. We would come back and do it all again! Perfect location!

Sehr zu empfehles

Wir haben uns in dem Haus sehr wohl gefühlt. Reykjavík und die Highlights des Golden Circle sind prima zu erreichen. Das Haus ist geräumig und hat alles, was man als Feriengast benötigt. Die Schlüsselübergabe hat prima geklappt. F Der Preis für das Ferienhaus ist ok. In Keflavik gibt es übrigens ein sehr gutes Fischrestaurant am Hafen, das Kaffi Duus, das wir überzeugt empfehlen können. Frischer geht es nicht ...

Very Nice and Close to the KEF airport

The house was very comfortable and everything was as described. We rented a vehicle for our visit and this place was a perfect home base, 30 min from Reykjavik and less than 20 min from Blue Lagoon. The house overlooks the bay and has a beautiful view of the bay and the mountains across the bay. Shopping and dining are within walking distance. We enjoyed everything about our stay.

Comfortable Home (away from home)!

The 3-story house is located less than a 15 minute drive to airport and about a 60 minute drive to Reykjavik. The third floor has a fantastic view over rooftops to the ocean a few blocks away. The kitchen is well appointed with all the necessary items to cook your own meals. Several tasty restaurants and nice grocery store are just a few short blocks away. Although we had commuting time to Reykjavik, we were very pleased that we choose this house for our stay. Dagný has decorated the house in an eclectic tasteful comfortable style! I hope I have a chance to be back in Iceland in warmer weather and stay here again! The house and town truly added to the magic of our Iceland trip!

Sehr schön gestaltete Inneneinrichtung. Guter Ausgangspunkt für Besuch des Golden Circle!

Wir haben uns im ästhetisch ansprechend gestalteten Haus sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Nähe zum Flughafen, aber auch zu Reykjavik und dem Golden Circle ist günstig! Ganz toll war die Möglichkeit, die Kaffeemaschine, die den Kaffe frisch mahlt und ausgibt, nutzen zu können und so gut in den Tag starten zu können. Die Organisation zwecks Schlüsselübergabe klappte gut!

A Windy Beautiful Setting Over the Harbor

This 75th birthday celebration house for myself and 3 friends fit the bill. The setting was fantastic, though it could be windy. Found many treasures in the town..restaurants, craft shop run by town ladies, and exploring the southern coast by ourselves. We did 3 tours that gave us a lay of the land, then explored with the rental car. So much to see and do, and perfect location as it was not in the crowded capital, yet central enough for day trips. Being close to the airport made departure easy for rental car drop off. Hope to return in the Spring.

Owner difficult to work with.

Property was ok, owner was difficult to work with. We agreed on a pre-determined price and owner promised to refund the difference because she could not discount it through the Home Away App. I have been trying since June to get the $168 refund from her without success. She will not respond to emails, iMessages or text. If I had it to do over again, I would find another place to stay in Iceland or insist on the discount being applied prior to stay.

Wonderful older home

This is a lovely older home in Keflavik on the Reykjanes peninsula. It is fairly well maintained. The owner is very responsive and communicates well. The home is close to the international airport which is convenient, but you can also hear jets at times if you are in the house during the day, but we did not hear any jets at night.

Wunderschönes Haus, perfekt als Basislager für den Island-Urlaub!

Unser Flug landete erst gegen Mitternacht in Keflavik, und da wir mit Kindern unterwegs waren, suchten wir eine Unterkunft in der Nähe des Flughafens. Dieses Haus ist nur ca. 10 Min. vom Flughafen entfernt in Reykjanesbær im Ortszentrum gelegen. Bis zum Ufer sind es nur ca. 100 Meter. Supermärkte sind gut zu Fuß zu erreichen. Das Haus ist sehr liebevoll und individuell eingerichtet. Es hat drei Schlafzimmer, zwei Wohnzimmer, ein Esszimmer, eine Küche (mit Betonarbeitsplatten – sehr schick!), zwei Bäder und einen Balkon, der sich perfekt eignet, um Polarlichter zu fotografieren! Im Haus gibt es alles, was man braucht, wenn man als Familie Urlaub macht: WLAN, Geschirrspüler, Backofen, Mikrowelle, reichlich Geschirr etc., Waschmaschine, Trockner, Dusche und Wanne. Und jedes Kind hatte sein eigenes Schlafzimmer! Sehr schön: überall im Haus hängt Kunst. Im Erdgeschoss ist noch eine separate Wohnung, die nicht zum Ferienhaus (1. und 2. OG) gehört. Es gibt für das Ferienhaus aber einen eigenen Eingang, sodass man sich nicht mal über den Weg läuft. Fazit: Absolute Empfehlung!

About the host

Hosted by Dagný Alda

Host profile image
My name is Dagný Alda and I was born and raised in Iceland. I got my degree in Interior Architecture from the University of Oregon in 1988. I live part of the year in India where I work as a guide and a yoga instructor and part of the year, summers, I own and oporate a small restaurant and a tourist information center in the westfjord of Iceland. I love to cook, and consern myself in the local politics in my hometown of Keflavík.

Why they chose this property

The southern penensula is loaded with geological phenomenas and full of beautiful hiking trails and sites to visit. It is an ideal place to stay for it is close to the country as well as the city. The oceon fills almost all views of the house and the balcony faces the west for the most glorious sunsets. My kitchen is loaded with spices and great cookware for those interested in cooking, (gas stove) baking and dining. It is a house that is unlike all others because of the history, colorful walls and artifacts. Enjoy!

What makes this property unique

With out a doubt the house has one of the best views in town and is a heartbeat away from everything.
All the beds have new mattresses, new down comforters and pillows, white new linnen and towels.
