Waterfront vacation rentals in Reykjavík

It was a very pleasant experience, the room was located in a very convenient place, you can find supermarket, nice restaurants all in walking distance. The house was clean and cozy, Selma was so nice and always replied in a very short period of time~ will come back again if it is possible~ 5-star recommend!

Appartement spacieux et agréable, très bien situé au bord de la mer et avec une très belle vue, le centre ville est à une vingtaine de minutes à pied. Arrivée tardive et autonome possible, très pratique avec un avion qui atterrit à 23h50!

We've stayed here twice now and again it's absolutely amazing, the scenery, the apartment, the host all amazing and nothing to complain about. one of the best places I've ever stayed at.

Un petit appartement agréable, situé dans un quartier résidentiel au calme. Le centre ville de Reykjavik, plusieurs supermarchés et le bus stop numéro 15 se trouvent à proximité (10 minutes à pied). Instructions d'arrivée très claires, Helga est accueillante. La cuisine est très bien équipée et le lit est confortable. Un séjour islandais au top!

Wij verbleven een week in het aappartement van Daniël. Het is een huis met een volstrekt persoonlijke uitstraling waardoor wij ons meteen volledig thuis voelden. De kamers zijn smaakvol ingericht met een combinatie van kunst en vintage, en er is een complete bibliotheek van boeken en CD's die de zeer brede interesse van de gastheer benadrukken. Het appartement zelf is schoon, warm, vol licht en biedt een waanzinnig mooi uitzicht op de skyline van Reykjavik. Als je geluk hebt is er zicht op het noorderlicht vanaf het balkon. Wij hebben heerlijk geslapen op het prima bed. Het appartement bevindt zicht op 10 minuten rijden van het centrum in een rustige buurt. De zee zit op 5 minuten lopen en biedt een prachtig uitzicht op de kustlijn en de oceaan. Daniel zelf is een enthousiaste gastheer die zijn best doet om je thuis te laten voelen. Hij gaf een volledige rondleiding door het huis en vervolgde met aanbevelingen waar je het beste heen kon gaan in de buurt. Zeer tevreden :)

Me, my wife and our son stayed at Ingiberg’s place for 6 nights on our trip to Iceland. The apartment was very easy to find and we were able to park the car in the allocated bay (inside the garage). It is slightly outside of the main town but providing you don’t mind a walk (35 minutes) like us then it is not a problem at all. The apartment was nicely furnished and had everything we needed. Tv and sound system were great for the evenings. Ingiberg was very responsive on messages and even alerted us when the northern lights were on show. Would definitly recommend staying at the apartment to anyone visiting Iceland.

My family and I (5 adults) had a great stay there. Hjalmar and his wife greeted us when we arrived at the house. He was very responsive and flexible with our check-in. The place was clean and comfortable. It had everything. We would stay there again. Highly recommend!

Stella’s apartment is a great place to stay. It is spacious and very comfortable. Comfy beds and sofas and well equipped kitchen. Super location near the water front and close by all central attractions and shops. Stella was very helpful throughout. Highly recommend

Can’t say enough about how easy and responsive David was. His motorhome was perfect for our trip and he was able to answer questions within minutes. We would not hesitate to rent from him again.

Bryndis and her family were wonderful hosts the place was close to some restaurants and the water. It is located in a peaceful section of Reykjavik and a great home base for activities around the capital. It is clean, spacious and the hosts were very responsive.

Wonderful location, just away from the "bustle" of Reykjavík, but only about 5-10 minutes drive away (and Reykjavík has plenty of parking). There's a bus not too far if you don't want to worry about drivint too! The nature reserve in the backyard is amazing, allowing pleasant walks along the paths, lake, and to the lighthouse. All the rooms are nice sized and made for an excellent place to come home to for relaxation, or cooking a meal if that's your thing (although the food in Reykjavík was fantastic).

A fantastic homely place to stay with our family including teenage grandchildren. Great local supermarket and bus service which meant we didn't need a car. Superb views including across the bay to see the erupting volcano! The BBQ and the hot tub were fabulous as was the weather. Outdoor living was just as good as indoors. Everything we needed in the kitchen was available including a well stocked fridge on our arrival. Plenty bedding and towels to facilitate changing everything during our stay.

Such a wonderfully cozy place in a great location! We loved being able to see the Northern Lights from the hot tub after a long day of exploring on the Golden Circle. House was super easy to get to - close to everything, but far enough away to be quiet and peaceful. We were able to beat the traffic and walk to catch multiple sunsets at the Grotta Lighthouse. Host's directions were super detailed for any and everything one would need to know and they were very responsive when we did have additional questions.

Loved our stay here! It felt very cozy and homey, and the location was perfect-very walkable to everything in Reykjavik. For parking, we stayed in the alley out of the way of other cars and had no other issues. My one comment would be that the hot water smell was quite sulfuric, but I think that is true of most places in Reykjavik and surrounding it. Overall though, I would love to be back-the bed was super comfortable too!

What a great place. We really enjoyed our stay here. Lots of room for everyone and such a great location - not far out of the city but very peaceful and beautiful. The favourite of the Air Bnb's we booked for our Iceland trip!

We stayed wishing to catch the Northern Lights and we were lucky enough to do so each night and be there for a huge solar storm. We ventured out the first night and after that realized we were able to stay comfy at our airbnb and see them both in the front yard and backyard. The house was spacious and our children 7 & 1 loved the books and toys available. We were offered a portable crib and high chair which were convenient. There were plenty of novels for adults and a variety of books on Iceland. There is a washer and large drying rack, dishwasher, and full kitchen which was wonderful since it is a serene spot you can relax and not run down the road 15 minutes for food or coffee. I enjoyed walking the road to the church and admiring the horses next door. The location is remote and going to parks or the city required an hour drive. Our host was gracious and extended our check out which was helpful. Thank you for your hospitality.

We had a very comfortable stay & HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place! Host: clear and thoughtful communication. The host made sure the place was well-prepared and comfortable for guests. Location: absolutely perfect for Reykjavík. The apartment is in a quiet, family-friendly building with peaceful views, and just a short drive from everything you need. It’s ideally located for daily hikes and provides easy access to highways—great for exploring Iceland without the hassle of city-center traffic. Also a convenient drive to the airport! The apartment: beautifully designed, nicely furnished, efficient, and minimalist. It had everything we needed: cooking utensils, appliances, dishes, washer/dryer, and a handy air-drying rack (an eco-friendly touch we appreciated). The entertainment area was cozy with a comfy couch and large TV. The bed was a bit snug but still very comfortable. A great base for anyone visiting Reykjavík & Iceland for nature, comfort, and calm!

The apartment was very spacious, clean, comfortable with a lovely view of the little harbor nearby. It provided my son and I with a base to explore many of Iceland's attractions using our car rental. Getting into the city takes about 12 minutes by car and around 45 minute by bus. We opted to cook at home since there's not a lot of restaurants nearby. Generally speaking this was a fantastic place to stay and made our whole week in Iceland stress free and relaxing. The apartment also has great water pressure and lots of warm water!

It was a very beautiful flat, spectacular view and had everything we needed and more. The location is perfect to much of the tourist spots in Reykjavik and bus stop 4 is incredibly close which was so helpful. Otherwise, a few buses only stopped at 5 or 3 which are both easily walkable. As many others said, there were welcome snacks and drinks which was very thoughtful and above and beyond. Lots of cute restaurants across the street and downstairs within the same building. Would 100% recommend to anyone!

Rùnar’s home is perfect to rest after an icelandic adventure. It’s warm, comfortable and nice, with an amazing ocean view (we had the chance to contemplete an eruption too!) and good markets near by. There is a delicious little fish market too, at few steps. Reykjavìk is easily reachable by walking (half an hour) or with bus and Seltjarnarnes is a peaceful and welcoming neighborhood. Rùnar and his family are helpful and kind. Thank you for sharing your home!

Harbor Apartment was a great place to stay! Walking distance to all the prime sights made it convenient, as well as the many restaurants. So convenient!! Host(s) were so responsive, as well as the information shared about the area, the apartment and the restaurant suggestions made our visit perfect! We definitely will return one day!

Snorri and Svava’s Airbnb was so cozy, clean, and in a great location near the city and next to the water. They were so responsive and friendly! I would stay again!

We enjoyed our stay at Eydis’s place. It is a beautifully decorated, very large apartment. A great value for the cost based on our other accommodations in Iceland. Eydis was very responsive as a host and helped answer questions we had on arrival. The apartment itself was in a nice complex, and very quiet which is a top priority for us. We typically avoid first floor apartments for fear of noise from neighbors above, but we never heard anything from nearby units our entire stay. Thanks Eydis for hosting us!

I stayed here for about ten days, fantastic experience. Property exactly as described and as premium as it looks. Don’t worry about it looking over a street, the multiple layers of well sealed glass and insulation does the job. Hosts were incredible, responded at all times and especially when I had an issue in middle of night was notable. Kitchen had everything I could want plus the air fryer a nice touch. Bedroom with tons of storage and bathroom was great. If you’re here especially to go to Harpa convention center, it literally can’t be beat.
