About this property

Villa 10 min from city centre - perfect for families - renovated 2024

Have you ever dreamt of visiting Iceland and live in a home away from home?

If you want a fancy but cozy house, this is the place! We haven't rented our house since 2019 and renovated it a lot in the meantime.

!------ There has been a lot of renovation done to the house so there are photos missing/ or old photos of living room, kitchen, master suite and bedroom 4. New photos will be arriving in a few days, feel free to message me.....!

About the property:
It has a main house and an extra apartment is beside the house. This apartment will be available by request.

The main house sleeps 12 adults, has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

The apartment has 1 bedroom with queen size bed and in the living room there is a queen size loft. It is brand new and sleeps up to 4 people. The apartment has a kitchen with everything you need and the 3rd bathroom.

The whole property (main house + extra apartment) can sleep 16 adults, has 5 bedrooms and 10 beds.

This beautiful villa located only 10 minutes drive to Reykjavík Centre has everything you need for the perfect vacation with your group or family.

The northern lights often dance on the lot in the winter so you can enjoy them without leaving the house.

Free private parking in driveway fits 4 cars

Grocery store which is open 24/7, pharmacy, restaurants, ice cream store and swimming pool is 400m away.

The main house has two floors. Everything is on the first floor except for the master suite with en-suite bathroom which is on 2nd floor.
Kitchen and living room are connected which is perfect for groups.

I will do my best to make your stay as comfortable as it can be and please feel free to contact me at any time

Fantastic home!!!
Beautifully renovated home, which was absolutely perfect for our stay. Sara was extremely helpful in accommodating our group and we were welcomed with a bottle of bubbly with champagne glasses already set out - a welcome treat after a long day of travel! The home itself is just that, a real home, and to have that feeling while traveling is fantastic. There was plenty of space, the beds were extremely comfortable, each room is equipped with blackout shades for the long summer days, kitchen and baths are great, the family room/entertainment center are set up for apple tv, and outside there is a large yard and hot tub for soaking after a day of hiking. There is a Hagkaup grocery down the street which makes stocking up on food very easy, and the drive to downtown Rekjavik is less than 10 minutes - plus you get to drive on the best named road ever - "Harfnarfjevarvegur"! I highly recommend this property, and feel lucky that we found such a perfect place to call home for our summer solstice Iceland vacation. Thank you again, Sara!

About the host

Hosted by sara

Host profile image
Hello, I am 37 years old and live with my husband and three children aged 14, 11 and 5 year old. We love to travel and always book other peoples homes when traveling so why not be a host myself. This is our home which we bought 2014 and have been renovating it constantly since.

We welcome everyone who will treat our home with respect, especially families. Loud parties are not aloud.

Why they chose this property

This is the neighbourhood I have lived in since I was 16 years old. It is the most high end town in Iceland. The property is on perfect location and very family friendly location with a lot of playgrounds, restaurants, swimming pool and more within walking distance.

What makes this property unique

Our home is super cozy and fancy at the same time!
