Holiday houses in Laxardalur

Perfect house for a group of friends. We spent New Years Eve there and loved it. We even had the luck to see a massive aurora on New Years Eve which made the place even more magical :-) We enjoyed the hot tub, the quiet location and the great kitchen and living room. Beds were comfy, too. Only thing was that the instructions for the hot tub werent up to date and it took a little until we solved it. Other than that everything was perfect :-)

David’s place was perfect! The pictures are exactly what the flat looks like in person! David was kind enough to allow me to check in early which was amazing given that my flight arrived at 7am! I know that’s not always possible and I appreciated his flexibility. David also provided me information on parking nearby, which was helpful since there is no parking with the flat. I would definitely stay here again!

We loved it! As a group of women, spending beautiful time together in our favorite fjord by cooking, late night talks, sitting in a hot tub under the stars and auroras, long walks to the island, seeing seals and warming up in the sauna afterwards… Precious! The surroundings are incredible! The house is a dream, the view is unbelievable and everything is super clean and the kitchen is well stocked. Sarah was always helping us when I reached out. Amazing communication. I’d say it’s perfectly comfortable for people who know each other well and maybe no more than 8-9 people if you stay a few days, especially in the winter when you’re mostly inside.

We had an amazing time at Geir’s family home! This was an incredible place to spend the new year and we would absolutely return! The location is perfect. We were able to walk outside the city lights a short distance to get an amazing view of the northern lights. A designated lookout is also a short car ride away. Plus, downtown Reykjavík is a short car or bus ride away! It could also be a good walk for those who like to hike.

We had a great time at the cabin! Actually, one of the highlights was our host Ylfa, who was always very helpful, provided a lot of very detailed information up front and reacted very quickly to all remaining questions we had - the communication was really a pleasure to us and on a level I have not experienced on Airbnb before. About the cabin: Our kids (3 and 6 years old) very much liked what they referred to as "the play cave", which is the upstairs sleeping loft. The kitchen is well equipped with all necessary things needed, far exceeding what would be minimal kitchen setup. Another highlight to us was the hot tub, which we used almost every day (despite wind and a bit of rain outside). The open view towards the west is very suitable to search for Northern Lights in the dark or just watch the stars. We mainly used the cabin as our homebase to different day tours around in western Iceland. In total, we really had a great time!

Had a great sledging, hot-tubbing, northern light watching, sauna-baking, fire lighting, food eating, and wine drinking time at this peaceful house in tranquil nature. Wish we could have stayed longer. Plenty of room for our 4 adults, 4 kids setup.

Beautiful, cozy, and well-equipped, with stunning views and complete privacy. The location is perfect for a peaceful retreat, but in winter, a 4x4 is a must due to snowdrifts and challenging access. Despite that, everything about the stay was perfect, and we would highly recommend it!

Beautiful and peaceful oceanside retreat!
