About this property
Dream house with pool on island close to Oslo
Spacious 140 m2 house with panoramic view over the Oslofjord. Ideally suited for two families on vacation together, or two generations.
The summer house was built in 2014. It lies on the highest point of an island with 45 cottages in total. It has an ocean view to both east and west, and has sun almost all day (unless it´s raining, of course). The cottage has large windows, which give a real sense of being in the nature even without going outside. Indoor and outdoor fireplaces allows for cosy evenings, no matter the outside temperature. Everything is brand new and very functional.
Two kayaks are included in the rent. A small boat is also available for the renters or you can access by ferry, it has regular departures to the island. Privat heated swimming pool 8 x 4 m. New huge trampoline. Quiet place with the birds singing. No cars.The island is very quiet and peaceful, but Oslo city is just 10 minutes by boat and then 15 minutes by car/bus. The Oslo fjord is a nice area for boat trips, fishing and swimming. There are a number of islands close by, and many places to visit on day trips. Easy to get there from the airport. It takes 50 min by car/taxi. You can also take train and bus. I will meet you at the mainland Snarøya and then we will go by boat together to the Island Grimsøya.

About the host
Hosted by Catherine Sand
I love design and working with house interiors, making my places warm, friendly and convenient to use for my guests. I have been working with tourism, HR and real estate. I am married with three children, aged 12, 13 and 17. We all love to travel and see the world.
Why they chose this property
Our home was built and designed by the owner with help from a great architect. It lies on the highest point of an island with 45 cottages in total. It has an ocean view to both east and west, and has sun almost all day (unless it´s raining, of course). The owner and her family has been on the island for generations.
What makes this property unique
Getting to the island is a 10 minute boat ride, and anyone lending the house, can use our boat as well. We also have two kayaks available and a huge trampoline. The cottage has large windows, which give a real sense of being in the nature even without going outside. Indoor and outdoor fireplaces allows for cosy evenings, no matter the outside temperature. Everything is brand new and very functional.
