Very nice house in a great location, with everything you need

We enjoyed the very spacious house for 9 days, we didn't miss anything. Great communication with the landlord, answers to questions were always very quick. We can only recommend it.

Quiet house on the water

A wonderful stay in Grenivik, spacious and comfortable house. Loved to sit in the backyard and watch the water. Such a beautiful view! Convenient to Akureyri with a short scenic drive. Was a great proprty and a great relaxing stay. Thanks!

House with uninterrupted super sea side views

Property has a rather unusual layout with the lounge in the basement. This means the best views are always from the Kitchen on the first floor. The only downside is there is a new property being built next door. This was not a problem during our stay but as it grows I suspect the noise will become increasingly intrusive during the day.

Beautiful house with some quirks

The house is beautiful and well cared for, and a great home base for outdoor activities in the Grenivik area. It's a bit remote if you're exploring more regionally. I think we may have been the first visitors of the season so there were a few things overlooked (snow-blocked driveway, among others), but the owner was very responsive about issues. That said, if you're in a caretaker role, it's not a great fit. There's not a single comfortable seat in the house to sit and look out at the water. The couch is comfortable but below grade and down a narrow stair in a room that can't be heard from the rest of the house. That level of separation of the lower level might be perfect for some, but for us it presented challenges. I would have been so grateful for a single place to sit on the main level that wasn't a bed or a dining chair. A paver or two on the way to the hot tub would also be helpful, so we weren't tracking moss and mud into it. It's also not a great fit if your knees are a little stiff after a long hike. Aside from the difficult interior stair, the first step at the front is a doozy, especially when managing the luggage. Minor inconveniences yes, but the sort of thing that tells you the house hasn't been lived in. The kitchen was well-stocked with dishes and appliances, the heat and washer/dryer all worked well, and the presentation was clean and tidy.

A super place with a very responsive remote host. The house is big and extremely well-equipped incl. outdoor hot tub (view over the lake) and top-quality kitchen with the same view over the lake while cooking and eating. A little way (30 mins) from the regular Ring Road but a lovely village and area to explore, including some or all of the Arctic Way. For whale-watching it’s close to Husavik for and even closer to Hauganes, which can be seen from the house and exceeded all expectations for us. (We even saw the whale activity across the water the next day once we knew where to look … take binoculars!). Thank you Thomas!

Wunderbarer Platz, Stille und Weite. Man kann herrlich abschalten und entspannen. Ekki Stress.

Der Check-in hat total problemlos geklappt und es gibt in diesem kleinen Ort am Ende der Welt sogar einen Laden in dem man alles Lebensnotwendige kaufen kann. Außerdem ein sehr schönes Schwimmbad mit Blick auf den Fjord und mehrere Kinderspielplätze. Und nicht zuletzt einen sehr korrekten Gastgeber. Danke

The best location we stayed in Iceland

This host has a modern place with everything you need. Including a coffee pot and microwave. The hot tub was warmer than the previous place we stayed which was nice. Only things I’d add is ice cube trays. Location was great and view amazing.

Great stay in a great location

House was clean and very spacious. Plenty of heat and hot water. Being right on the water was wonderful. We used the hot tub almost every night. Our first night there, a pod of whales swam by while we were in the hot tub. Grenivik is a lovely location, a quiet town about half an hour from the city and all its amenities. It was a great launching point for all the local attractions. The hosts were super helpful. We left an important bag behind with laptop, passports, medication, etc. and they mailed it back to the States for us.

Fantastisches Fjordhaus

Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit in dem tollen Haus mit Sterne schauen vom Hottub aus, Fjordblick beim Frühstück und Kochabenden im großzügigen Wohnraum. Tagsüber haben wir die Umgebung erkundet am Diamond-Circle und eine super erfolgreiche Walbeobachtung gemacht. Das Haus hat für uns 6 Freunde perfekt gepasst.

Beautiful house right on water in quiet village

The house is beautiful and comfortable. It was so nice to have a washer and dryer to do laundry. We also enjoyed using the Hot Pot at the end of long days hiking. The village is small and quiet. Plan ahead form groceries and supplies as Akureyri is about a 30 minute drive for groceries…..
