Waterfront vacation rentals in Reykjavíkurborg

Hildur’s apartment was the perfect base for our stay in Reykjavik. It is walking distance from the city centre but in a quiet and beautiful part of town. We loved the view of the water and the sunset from the living room. The apartment is beautifully decorated and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay, including for cooking meals. It was comfortable, spacious and very clean. Hildur met us at checkin and left lots of local recommendations. She was very friendly, welcoming and easy to communicate with. We would highly recommend a stay! Thank you Hildur 😊

Helga was very welcoming and responsive to any questions I had. She reached out to offer rain gear as there were a few rainy days. The area was great - it was close to everything (very walkable and easy to get around) but was in a quiet area. The apartment was comfortable and clean. I would definitely stay again for another trip to Iceland.

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.

The apartment is occupied by the owners outside of rental periods, making it a clean, cozy and functional apartment. It is quite well located close to the sea and a 20-minute walk from the historic center. It is also possible to take public transport to get to the city and the BSI terminal (Bus station). We enjoyed the communication with the owner who helped us organize our stay. I highly recommend this apartment which met all of our expectations.

We had such a wonderful stay here - this is a cosy farm stay close enough to Reykjavík but far enough to have clear skies to see the Northern Lights if you’re lucky enough. We absolutely loved the kitchen, the coffee moccamaster and having access to a washing machine. A super warm, nicely decorated place and huge bed! Probably one of my favourite Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in. Disa is super lovely and so is Bonzo the dog! Highly recommend to anyone travelling to Iceland ❤️

Such a beautiful space in the best part of town! Had a minor miscommunication when we first arrived, but it was quickly and easily resolved. 100% recommend. Certainly didn’t hurt that we saw the Northern Lights from the bedroom balcony!! Absolutely perfect stay!!

We had an extremely enjoyable and relaxed stay here for over a week. It's perfect for 2 people who are focused on seeing the sites of Iceland. A great location only 15 minutes south of Reykjavik and easy to jump on the road for day trip adventures. The view out the window of the harbor is wonderful sitting on the couch at the end of a long day of adventure. Then, if tired don't worry you have 3 nice restaurants very quick walking distances from you. Snaedis provided a thoughtful welcome basket and beers for us, 3 different times during our stay! We also had a grocery store just a minute down the road that made things easy. I can't say enough good things about the hospitality and highly recommend!

We stayed a few nights at Helen Inga’s home and had a brilliant time using it as a base to explore the city and the area. Staying in a suburb felt very homely and relaxing. There is an amazing bakery just round the corner and a lovely local pool. It was easy to take a walk or a run along the coast and see the city from a different angle. It was only 10 minutes walk to the busier areas and also easy to use the car we hired. Parking is never a problem. The apartment was clean and warm with plenty of space. Comfy beds! Helen Inga was very helpful when we had any questions. We collected the kids after a few days on a school trip and it was great to be able to do some washing/drying before heading off on our travels. They loved the trampoline, the football area and the piano. Our highlights were hiking up to the Glymur waterfall, skiing at Blafjoll, snorkelling at Silfra, sunset walk to the geothermal stream near Hveragerdi and the lovely fjord side hot pools at Hvammsvik. Highly recommend!

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.

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.

The views are spectacular and the place is clean , cozy and has everything you might need , we could not have asked for more . Svana was very responsive and nice to communicate with , we felt welcomed and being taken care of every step of the way . Definitely great memories for years to come , hoping to come back during summer . Thank you .

What a brilliant find these Cabins were for our 1st visit to this beautiful country. We booked as a family of 6, hiring two cars from the airport, to explore the Golden Circle. Arni the host communicated well with brilliant directions and instructions upon our arrival at the Cabins. The scenery around the Cabins were stunning, next to a lake. We were also fortunate to be able to clearly watch the wonders of the Northern Lights over two evening. As a family of 6 - 4 being young adults, we hired all 3 Cabins. They were perfect, clean and homely with all the amenities you would need. It was a wonderful base for us to explore this beautiful south coast of the country. We would Highly recommend hirering these cabins to use as a base if you are planning your own itinery during your visit. Selfoss is not too far so we were able to purchase a small shop from the local supermarket for food during our stay. . Thank you Arni & Family

This is the most beautiful place with unbelievable views of the Northern Lights!

A beautiful, peaceful setting, with stunning views. Kathrin and her husband let us know when the northern lights appeared one evening and helped us with the settings on our i-phone so we could take the best pictures. Very appreciative or their help. We highly recommend their quiet cottage.

If you are looking to stay near the National Park and enjoy a private, incredibly quite relaxing trip, this is the most amazing choice. For us this home was the perfect space, incredible design, stunning views with impeccable lighting. We needed to rest and relax while exploring the vast landscape of Iceland and this was beyond perfect. We will absolutely be back.

Clean quiet place that allowed us to relax after a full day of sightseeing. It is located in a convenient spot to go see so many of Icelands amazing sights

The apartment was very homey and cozy. It was exactly how it was shown / advertised. The location is super central in the older part of town. I felt right at home. Asdis was very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend.

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!

We enjoyed our stay immensely! We loved the location — it was quiet, but still really close to everything — and the view of the water was beautiful !! The space itself was lovely - clean, open and airy, and had all the basic things we needed. Also— for the parents traveling with young kids— we used the crib, high chair, and was perfect for small kids. Would stay here again!

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!

Unnur’s place was absolutely spectacular, and she was an exceptional communicator. She went out of her way to ensure I had everything I needed, including a charging adapter upon arrival and extra towels for my comfort. Her communication was truly outstanding.

Everything was perfect! The place was spotless, incredibly well-stocked, and very comfortable for our four-night stay. The host was attentive, friendly, and truly exceptional. Highly recommended!

This listing was AMAZING! My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights on our honeymoon in Iceland and it was perfect. The location is beautiful, and right across from the Edition (if you were thinking of booking there… book here instead - way better deal!). We didn’t cook here much, but did utilize the air frier which was a nice touch! We enjoyed the cleanliness and modern feel of the apartment. We also felt very safe at this location. The WiFi was great. The hosts were incredibly helpful and supportive with clear and quick communication whenever we messaged. The walking score is 10/10 as we caught all our tours from nearby bus stops 5 & 6. We walked to all our restaurants from here and enjoyed the food hall which is right below the apartment as well. If you haven’t booked here yet… what are you waiting for!?
