About this property

House by the ocean. Hot tub and a mountain view.

Hítarneskot is a ocean front private house with a hottube and a mountain view. Hìtarneskot serves as a central location to explore the beautiful surroundings of the Snaefellsnes peninsula, including the Eldborg Volcanic Crater, a nearby geothermal pool, the village of Stykkisholmur, Arnarstapi/Hellnar and the Snaefellsjokull glacier. Hítarneskot is located approximately 10 km (7 miles) from the Eldborg Volcanic Crater, 40 km (25 miles) from the town of Borgarnes, 55 km (34 miles) from the historic town of Stykkisholmur, 75 km (47 miles) from Arnarstappi/Hellnar and the Snaefellsjokull glacier. The house stands by the shore. It is far away from farms in the area so you can enjoy some peace and quiet of Icelandic nature. Our location is ideal for observing the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) as they can be seen from October through March. There are no nearby light that can prevent your experience. The house was refurnished in January 2015. The house was built in 1945 and is a old farm so the house looks old on the outside but is brand new on the inside! Up to nine people can sleep comfortably in the house. Our house have full kitchen (including , toaster, coffee machine, refrigerator, baker oven, kattle, dishwasher.), sitting area, two bathrooms ( one with shower), and outside seating area with new bbq grill. While you sit on the outsite Fresh linens are provided. While sitting on the outside seating you can watch the sunset and the beutifull Snaefellsjokull and if you are lucky you can see wild horses run on the beach. Check-in time is 15:00 and Check-out time is 11:00. Our exact location (latitude/longitude) is: N 64° 42' 53.1'', W 22° 20' 23.1'' (64.714752, -22.339743)

Nice place
Unfortunately we arrived in the dark and left in the dark so we can not comment on the property. In November the sun sets around 5 and risess around 10. We also got hit with a crazy storm so no hot tub. Now we did see the Northern Lights it was amazing, actually the main reason we stayed in this area. The building is modern and clean, very cozy in the storm would stay again.

A very nicely equipped house. We enjoyed the beach and horses. We had bad weather and the house weathered the storm well. Host was very responsive.

Why they chose this property

You can stay away from everything and enjoy the nature peace. But yet so close to everything so it's a perfect place for sightseeing.
