Vacation Home iStay Cottages

Byggdavegur, 245 Sandgerði, Iceland –

Love this place, it's my second trip here. I like the feel of the property (campground with camping cabins). Gives the feel of camping with the comfort of a bed. I also like the group kitchen and highly recommend stopping by to chat with fellow travelers.

Ryan, United States of America

I enjoyed interacting with others staying at the property in the common house. We had wonderful conversations and went out to observe the northern lights together.

Julie, United States of America

I really like the cabin, something different to experience. The location was perfect for staying there for 2 nights. Looking forward-to visit again!

Barbara, United States of America

The cottage was fabulous! Great bathroom and shower. Very clean!

Allison, United States of America

Close to the airport. Well equipped kitchen. Ideal cleanliness.

Advantis, Ukraine

Great little cottages with a community kitchen close to the airport. Location was quiet and a great little seafood restaurant was just a 3 minute drive away. Check in was easy as long as you have cell service. We really enjoyed our quick stay.

Joseph, United States of America

A beautiful and modern stay. Wonderful accommodation with shared kitchen, perfect location and immaculate. Highly recommend. Very easy to get to.

Claire, Australia

The landscape around the cottages is very nice. There is a lupin field just right behind the cottages.

Beds were very comfy. Shower was great! Location was perfect for flying out the next morning. Gas station nearby. Loved the town pool (free with stay). Website was confusing as to whether we would have a bathroom in the cottage. We did have one and it was great!

Kristin, United States of America

Amazing lovely cottage with views over vast fields of lupine. Horses were seen later! Wonderful private bath. Worth the upgrade! Bright clean kitchen with loads of storage and eating space.

- as we arrived around 18 (or maybe it’s a general practice), there was a number yo call to check in and they explained how to get the key. No direct human interaction; - our cottage had 2 single beds on opposite sides of the room, which I found not very cozy, given that there was room to make it nicer. Of course, we didn’t go moving the furniture, but could be a tip for the owners; - rather overpriced, considering no breakfast included.
+ beautiful wooden cabins; + spacious and well equipped kitchen; + clean shared bathroom, although only 2 for what I believe is 4 cabins; + close to the airport, but not noisy at all!

Would have liked to be able to use the laundry facilities. They were open during the summer, but access was closed during the winter. Please note I did not ask the host, so I might have been able to do laundry if I had reached out to the host.

“Absolutely fantastic!!!”
- • Leisure trip

- • Cottage with Shared Bathroom

The cottages are fantastic, we loved our first night in Iceland sleeping there, it couldn't have been better! Cottages are very modern and stylish, with a Scandinavian minimalism touch inside. The surroundings are beautiful at sunset and sunrise, it's such a special geothermic and peaceful area. Our cottage was very welcoming, warm and cosy, beds very comfortable. Even if the bathroom was outside, it was really not a problem. Showers are excellent and all the common areas are very modern and well furnished. It was definitely the best place we stayed at during our whole week in Iceland. Also, check in was very fast and easy, we just had to call to get the key as there are key boxes. It's the perfect place to stay at when you arrive or leave as it's 10mn away from the airport. I use to be very picky with my rating, but this time it's a well deserved 10 out of 10! We'll be back! Thank you :)

No real way to cook anything in the kitchen, just a food prep area with a microwave and toaster.

The bathrooms are in a central building. Of course this is as described and not really a complaint as we knew what we were getting when booking. However, be aware that in Winter this could be an issue. (It was quite windy and cold during our stay, so going to the toilet was challenging)
A great location. The huts have north facing windows which meant that we could watch the northern lights from the warmth of our hut. (We were lucky to have one of the last huts which meant no other hut was in the way)

A stove top would be nice. But otherwise it had everything you needed to make a meal.
