The only set back was the code to get in to the house was a little stressful because it took awhile but other than that everything was smooth sailing… this is a great place to stay with your family. ##### Lourdes R.

Jun 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Modern waterfront The home was great for a family stay. Everything was supplied in the kitchen, baths, and living areas. The views were fantastic, great privacy, and comfortable beds. Fabulous kitchen, open and easy to accommodate a large party. The only things that need attention are the grill which was broken, and the dryer did not put out enough heat to actually dry any clothes, we hung ours, but we had this issue in all three homes we rented in Iceland. Overall, great place and we would rent it again. ##### Kristen N. Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marlo R.

Jul 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Great Location! We loved our stay - right in the water! Views were amazing, kitchen was well stocked and the rooms comfortable. There are only 3 bedrooms though - but plenty of beds. We had one upset teen who had to sleep in the family room which was a bummer. But the house is nice and the private guest house was a great quiet space. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/78b568af-bc1d-4d2b-b00e-b523b0a17fe6-1751628524076.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/08ae5ffa-f0ce-4542-9f79-501b1a8eea19-1751628526367.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fc68c2d1-7465-4427-b231-1e13f44fc539-1751628526844.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/fa594942-2b45-4d40-ab31-5a8384ae371c-1751628521508.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Sarah B.
