Excellent property and location
Very nice place to stay. Convenient to the airport and all the major attractions. Plenty of room for everyone. The house was very nicely decorated and had everything that we needed and more. The beds were comfortable. The owners were very accommodating with very good communication. We would definitely stay there again.

A wonderful property that makes you feel home. From the ocean waves, seals on the beach to the beautiful northern lights. This home is close to the airport and town. Kitchen is well stock to be able to cook all your meals. A very relaxing home!

Everything you need for your stay in this cozy, antique filled home with wonderful views all around. A short drive to the airport, Blue Lagoon and Reykjavik, this was a perfect home base for our 4 day layover in Iceland.

This home is such an ideal place to explore Iceland from. No matter how long the hiking day there's a hot tub and plenty of space for everyone. Would highly recommend. A true Iceland experience just steps fom the ocean.

Perfect home base
We had a great stay here. The kitchen was perfect to cook in, plenty of space and everything you need. Bedrooms and beds were very comfortable, and the neighborhood so quiet and quaint. This location is close enough to the airport and also a gray middle ground for exploring the south west portion of Iceland. We highly enjoyed the spa area (after our adventures) which is covered and has a small wood burning stove for days that are cold (we had a few rainy and windy days). There’s also a small house with a fire pit (sweat-lodge) that we used one night - super fun to sit around, drink beer, and tell stories. We had a great time here - the kids said it was their favorite house of all the places we stayed in Iceland.

Country home off the beaten path for SW Iceland Touring (Reykjanes Region)
My family of five (spouses, two teenagers, one 11 year old) stayed at Margret and Petur's house for our five day February trip. It was a good location out in the countryside but still near the airport and a 30min drive into Reykjavik--depending on the weather of course! It was quite handy for most other sites that are in about a two-hour radius such as the Golden Circle, south coast, etc. Entered coordinates on Google maps and worked like a charm! The house is a little out of the way but we felt it was advantageous to see the northern lights out in the country (we did). We are much more inclined to drive 30-40min into the city being from the states, so it wasn't an issue for us. Very close to the ocean so it was nice to watch the northern lights and hear the waves crash. The house itself was VERY clean and tidy. Lots of cool antiques which made this mom of teenagers a bit nervous but we weren't home much so it wasn't an issue. Laundry, kitchen, and baths were stocked appropriately and had no issues other than having a bit of a time figuring out the microwave--no fault of the owners though. The bedrooms were spacious and private--the doors kept a lot of noise to a minimum despite being off the TV area. I would've preferred more pillows and blankets but again, that's my preference. We didn't use the hot tub or bbq hut. We were too tired each night! Margret was quite responsive and answered questions in a timely and friendly manner. Would absolutely recommend staying here!

Wonderful experience
This 3 bed room house (twins in two rooms and king in the third) was the perfect size for our group of 5 women. There are two separate seating areas, and the large one has beautiful views of the open yard down to a small sandy oceanside beach with a rocky breakwall. We enjoyed this beautiful natural setting. On clear days views of several ranges of snowy peaks from the Snaefelsness peninsula were visible in the distance. You really feel the open space that is Iceland. There is a grilling hut, picnic table and a hot tub available for use. The owners built the house 11 years ago, and they have an apartment on the property, so they are close by if you have any needs. They were very friendly, accommodating, and responsive without being at all intrusive. There are fluffy robes, lots of towels, and a full laundry (washer and dryer) available. The house itself is immaculately clean. Since the owners live in the house in the winter, it is well stocked with supplies (detergent, coffee, tea, spices) and they offer all for your use. There is also Wifi. The location is close to the Blue Lagooon (about 20 minutes) and perfectly situated with proximity to both Reykjavik (about 25 minutes) and the international airport (about 25 minutes in the opposite direction). The newer Sky Lagoon, highly recommended, is about 15 minutes away. We used this as a base to travel to Snaefelsness (one long day), the Golden Circle, Reykjavik, and the Westman Islands (highly recommended), as well as the south coast (to Vik). We only spent one night away from the house (overnight in Vik) when connecting our south coast tour to the Westman Islands. We felt so fortunate to have found such a beautiful home base and we highly recommend it to others who are seeking a beautiful natural setting for their travels.

Wonderful property and very attentive property manager. We were able to see the northern lights from the house one clear night and despite some harsh weather at other times, the home felt very secure, warm, and spacious. The Coastal views made this home feel like destination itself. In between Reykjavik and KEF airport. Would absolutely stay again. Thank you Margret!

1. Met with owner on time great. 2. 15 mins from airport but great location by the sea with a really nice view. 3. Everything worked. Plenty of gear for cooking the hot tub takes 10 mins to get warm and is great after a long day of hikes. I can't recommend this house enough super snug comfortable beds and very quiet we had a great trip.

Brilliant stay
The house was lovely and in a great location. By car it was easy to get from the airport, to Reykjavik, Blue Lagoon and Golden Circle. Being remote I was hoping to see seals and the Northern Lights and we saw both. There is a bit of light pollution from the neighbours but we still managed to see the Northern Lights clearly. Unfortunately the hot tub was out of action so can't comment about that. Margret was an excellent host, dealing with any enquiries that we had before, during and after our stay. One of our party left her mobile phone(!) and Margret very kindly and promptly sent it on. I would definitely recommend this accommodation and would stay again.

Really quite perfect for our group
Margret was great with communication and her hospitality was beyond expectations. Her house, which is in Vogar, is close to the airport at Keflavik. We were permitted to check in early due to a very early arrival. She had coffee for us (delicious) and the home is extremely comfortable and welcoming with wonderful eclectic furniture and art and artifacts from around the world, comfortable beds and a hot tub (although the hot tub house needs tidying). The location is just slightly remote (it is Iceland after all, and we didn't want to be in the city) and the ocean view truly is lovely. After we had a nice nap we were personally greeted by Margaret who was charming and spent quite a bit of time with us explaining things, sharing some less travelled places to go and some of her personal history which was very interesting. Don't plan on spending too much time at the mini black sand beach out front though - the weather isn't really beach weather. For us the location was perfect - very close to the airport and grocery shopping and not too far from Reykjavik which has nice sights, history and restaurants. For us the location was more desirable for sightseeing all around Iceland than being in Reykjavik. (But do go to the city and see the old part and shop a bit. Go to Perlan - no matter what anyone says the restaurant there is a MUST.) We were so fortunate to see the Aurora Borealis while we were there - two nights in a row! Very little light pollution (except for the next door neighbor who has something like floodlights on the back porch all night). We could go on about how much we loved the place but you get the idea. If we get back to Iceland, which we hope to, we would definitely ask to stay here again.

Possibly the best hosts ever!
I booked last minute to come and see the northern lights and really wasn’t disappointed. Margret is a fantastic host. She helped create the best possible conditions for us by turning out all of the external lights, even asking her neighbours to do the same to help us. Snow was a little heavy leading up to the house but Margret and family were always on call if we needed any help. House is very clean, warm, tidy and well-stocked. Thank you Margret! Tak fyrir!

I wouldn't stay anywhere else in the Reykjavik area . The house is perfect for a group of 4 or more. It's in a rural area (we saw the aurora from the house!), but close enough to easily get to Reykjavik, the airport or The Blue Lagoon by car. Communication with Margret was great. We are already considering a return trip.

Spacious home in good location.
We enjoyed our stay in this very spacious and comfortable home. It was perfect for three couples staying there. Had a large well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, a large hot tub in an enclosed greenhouse and was full of lovely antique furnishings. It was surrounded by a rugged landscape and had a view of the ocean from the living room. The location felt quite remote and a car is definitely required but it was convenient to the airport...about half way between airport and Reykjavik and close to Blue Lagoon. There was some construction being done on an outbuilding on the property with some equipment around but this didn’t affect our stay.

Great place by the sea, surrounded by lava fields
The property is a lovely place close to the sea, in amongst the lava fields on the Reykjanes peninsula. You'll need your own transport to get there, but it isn't far off the main road between the airport and Reykjavik. Despite being convenient for the main road, there are only about four or five houses within sight of the house, then nothing but rocks and sea as far as the eye can see. This is definitely a place to get away from the tourist crowds. Margret was very helpful before we got there and her clear instructions made it very easy to find. After showing us around, she left us to it, but was only in the property next door, so easy to get if we had needed anything. We spent the period between Christmas and New Year here and couldn't have asked for anything better! The lounge has long, tall windows, and being away from the lights of the big towns means that sitting in the lounge with the lights off is as good a place as anywhere to look for the northern lights. The house has under floor heating and two log burners, so while it was around -10°c outside for much of the time we were there, it was always nice and warm inside.

Great house and location for our trip!
The house was a wonderful launching off point for our Iceland vacation! The house was well-equipped with everything we needed for our stay, even during an 8-hour winter storm during our trip. Margret was a wonderful host and was very flexible as our plans changed due to the storm. The location on the ocean was peaceful and far enough away (but close enough) to all that we wanted to see. We even saw the Northern Lights from the house over the ocean. The location is well suited between the Airport in Keflavik and Reykjavík. Per Margret’s suggestion, we also enjoyed the restaurants in nearby Vogar. We did not use the hot tub as it was very windy during our trip, but it was available.

Beautiful view, has everything you need,
The house was clean and all amenities were provided. Lots of space and nice to have two bathrooms. The view of the surrounding landscape and ocean sets this place above others. Hot tub was yellow... might be due to the sulfer content but we weren't used to the colour so we didn't go in. Not a big deal to us though as we thought overall the house was well worth what we paid. Definitely need a rental car. Margaret was lovely and accommodating and went out of her way to provide us with extras for our little one, very much appreciated.

If you are wanting a base for your stay this is the place to stay. We stayed here seven days. We travelled 2700km and it was wonderful to come back to this house to refresh.It felt like home. The house itself is lovely. It has a big kitchen , lounge, and three bedrooms. It has a washing machine and a dryer which was awesome. It has a hot tub which we used few times. We ate every night at a local restaurant in Vogar called Gamla Postudsid. They have pizzas . Starters and main course. I tried the wolf fish for the first time , highly recommended. We tried all the main courses and asked for a special course which the owner made. It was wonderful. The host was wonderful, explaining everything in the house. We just loved the place.
