About this property

Ocean Front Villa - Near Blue Lagoon - Northern Lights Getaway

Beautiful and spacious, 1 bedroom apartment (65 m2) with a separate entrance, in this beautiful Oceanfront Villa. A perfect place to see the Aurora Borealis - Northern Lights (September through April) in a secluded countryside area without external lighting. Magnificent during the Icelandic long summer nights.
A cozy house with character. It is located on a large private property with outstanding ocean and mountain view, and with a private beach. There is also a private Church on the property.
All inclusive. Excellent WiFi ( fiber-optic cable). Hot tub / Jacuzzi.
The house, and its beautiful surroundings have been used in film-making and professional photography. The property has been awarded three times by the municipality of Vogar, for architecture, exterior design and cleanliness.
Located on the Reykjanes peninsula on the South West side of the island. The house is extremely well situated in a very quiet area by the water. Close to all major attractions such as the famous Blue Lagoon, (15 minutes away). The capital Reykjavik is 30 minutes away (downtown). Whale watching is 20 min. away. The Airport is 20 minutes away. This is a fabulous bird watching area. A truly magnificent place.

Hosts with the most!
Anna and Birgir are such amazing hosts. They give you your privacy but are available to visit, if you’re so inclined. We had a number of very full days where we came home and went straight to bed. It is so quiet and the bed is SO VERY comfortable! But we also had a few nights where we came home early and Anna invited us for coffee. What lovely people! They gave us such amazing information about the island and they are just excellent hosts. Birgir have us an amazing tour of their church an told us all about the architecture and history behind everything in it. It is spectacular. The entire property is just glorious. The ocean and grounds are just incredible. You couldn’t get a better place to stay! It’s so close to everything and it is just a great choice. We will be back and we will be staying here again!! Thank you Anna and Birgir- you are the best hosts ever.

A must stay location
I don't think there is a better location to stay in the area. The ocean front view and the lovely owners made it all enjoyable. Our check-in process was simple - the owner was home and provided a key but it would have been available through a simple lockbox otherwise. We were able to walk around the property and onto their private beach area. The wind was intense at times but worth enduring for the lovely northern lights and landscape views. Proximity to the airport was great - we also rented from Lotus Rental Car and had a great experience for anyone looking for a reliable (but not cheap) option. Platinum insurance is recommended. We put in the wrong address to begin because we are accustomed to homes not having a name so I completely disregarded it. That cost us a 250 tow - we recommend using the name of the home in Google maps (Apple didn't do as well).The accommodations were fantastic. Comfortable bed, spacious rooms for two people. WiFi worked perfectly as my husband worked while we were there. He used MS Teams and I used Zoom simultaneously. We were able to watch YouTube without issue and the host offered a lot of DVDs as an alternative. If you are lucky enough to meet their dog, she is a darling. Seems to enjoy a good rub!A couple of restaurants to consider about 45 minutes away - Snaps and Krost in Reykjavik. We also drove a distance to Husavik and enjoyed seeing the landscape changes on our drive - consider booking a whale watching experience when in town.

Nice gateway!
It was worth the stay! Jacuzzi made all the difference for us. After cold adventures day we were able to sit and warm up our body's for the night! Kitchen and everything had everything you need! Anna, the owner was very helpful and friendly! One thing is that you can hear the owners walk upstairs in the early morning. This one bedroom place is in the basement. If you are not light sleeper than this is for you!!Thank you Anna for your homy private place!you! earearlyorfrhelphelpful

AMAZING HUMANS
I had the most incredible stay at the Ocean Front Villa in Vogar, Iceland! From the moment I arrived, Ana made me feel so welcome with her warmth and hospitality. She was incredibly sweet and attentive, ensuring that everything I needed was taken care of. The property itself was absolutely stunning, nestled right by the ocean, it offered breathtaking views and the perfect tranquil escape. The villa was cozy yet spacious, with tasteful decor that made it feel like a home away from home. One of the highlights of my stay was Moa, the lovely dog who became my buddy throughout the trip. Her playful nature added an extra layer of joy to the experience. The location is perfect for those wanting to explore the Blue Lagoon and experience the magic of the Northern Lights, I ended up extending my trip because I loved the area so much! The peaceful surroundings, coupled with the villa's comfort, made it hard to leave. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat in Iceland with a touch of local charm, this is the place to stay. I can’t recommend it enough!

Amazing location
The host was super friendly and helpful. She messaged back extremely quickly whenever we had questions. Although the apartment is located on the lower level of the house, it gets a lot of daylight and you feel as if you’re staying in an alone standing apartment. The location is an absolute dream and you can see the northern lights from the backyard.

Northern Lights Villa
The apartment is very comfortable! Decorated very nicely, has everything you need. Very clean, which we really appreciated! The hosts were amazing! Anna answered all our questions, helped us plan outings and even brought us the most delicious carrot cake♥️ Their dog Moa, came to visit us every morning and night, which we strongly encouraged because we missed our own fur babies. The hot tub was so nice to relax in at night. One of the best parts was seeing the northern lights! We saw them almost every night, which we were told was unusual for this time of year (early September). Anna and her husband would come knock on our door to let us know the northern lights were out and we were just mesmerized as they covered the sky. Being out by the ocean and away from town, I think made it easier to see them. Such a great place to stay! Thank you so much for your kind hospitality Anna! We highly recommend this place to anyone.

Perfect Honeymoon Getaway
Absolutely stunning! This property is off the beaten path, away from the hustle and bustle of traffic and tourists but centrally located between the airport and city. Immaculately clean, very spacious and private. The host, Anna, is very responsive and helpful with hints on where to visit given weather conditions. We could not have asked for a better trip!

Well equipped, cozy apartment
We had a great stay in the apartment. It is well equipped and spacious, located on the ground floor with an outdoor Jacuzzi. When we arrived the key was in a keybox outside but the landlord came nevertheless to introduce and show us around, which surprised me on the wrong foot but was a very kind and nice gesture. During our 10 Day stay we were able to use the playstation and the big movie DVD collection, the garden and the sea access, the jacuzzi and enjoyed the somewhat remote and calm location! There is very little traffic on the road nearby, the house itself is alone on a gigantic piece of property so enough parking space 😉 Nevertheless it takes only about 20 min each to reach Keflavik or Reykjavik and even the golden circle tour or blue lagoon can be reached from there. However we were both irritated that Anna must have come into the apartment in the middle of our stay to swap some towels and stuff. We were not aware this would happen and surprised by it, would not have needed fresh towels either. I think that is a very good service for longer stays, but I would have felt better if we knew it would happen or would have been announced to us or sth like that. My partner liked the house dog very much, which was sometimes playing or chillin’ in the garden. It occasionally barked at our car when we were leaving, but never bothered us. Really nice to have these beautiful animals around and that it can play on such big ground! All in all we loved to stay here!

Perfect Place To Start Our Iceland Tour
First of all, it was very easy to find, 20 minutes up the coast from KEF airport, and in a beautiful location. We were close enough to Reykjavik to see and do everything we wanted to there while still being in the country. I played three rounds of golf at wonderful courses that were also well within 45 minutes of the property. Our hosts were very friendly and ready to answer any questions about the area. The kitchen had everything that we needed, the bed was comfortable, the living area also comfortable and there was a large property that could be enjoyed. No issues whatsoever - highly recommended.

Great Location
My husband and I had a wonderful stopover in Iceland. We spent 4 nights at this VRBO after traveling through Italy. It was relaxing and a much needed part of our vacation. The host is wonderful, she made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The location is beautiful, the home was very clean and had everything we could need. We will definitely be returning there for a longer trip.

Great homebase for us!
We spent a week in Iceland and this served as a great homebase for us. The host is extremely friendly and on-site, upstairs for anything that comes up. It's tucked away but both near the airport (20 min drive) and near the main town of Reykjavik (25 min drive), and it worked really well for our trips to other parts of the country. Being right by the water, we got used to the birds all around... and the host dog is super friendly! Our stay was a great example of Icelandic hospitality - thank you!

Prächtig am Meer gelegen
Ein wunderbarer Ort, um die Natur der Gegend zu erkunden und zu geniessen! Der Jacuzzi war ein Genuss, um die Muskeln und Gelenke nach den Wanderungen zum Meradalir-Ausbruch zu pflegen. Wir kommen gerne wieder, vielleicht auch zu einer Jahreszeit, die für die Beobachtung von Nordlichtern geeignet ist.

Magical location
View of the volcano plume from the kitchen window was simply an added unexpected plus. The shoreline with Arctic terns, eider ducks, and more sea birds that you can imagine. The apartment was comfortable and well equipped and our hosts were very pleasant and helpful. I only wish there was a view towards the water from inside the apartment but we could simply walk outside and all along the shore.
