We had a wonderful stay at this property. It has fantastic views over the fjord which can be enjoyed from multiple rooms and also the hot tub outside. It was well equipped with spacious clean rooms. Excellent communication from the host and detailed instructions for use of property / ideas for trips in the local area. Highly recommended.

We had a fantastic stay at this spacious house right on the fjord in Grenivik. The views were stunning every morning, along with bean to cup coffee! The hot tub was a brilliant way to unwind after exploring the area. The property itself was generous in size, comfortable and well-equipped - a great quiet base for exploring the region. Location although outside of Akureyri was fine. Being past the toll road it’s a short drive to Húsavík, and good for visits to Goðafoss and other highlights. The pool in Akureyri was great, and the smaller pool in Grenivik (about 20 for 2Ad/2Ch), good alternative to a spa!. On the activity front, nearby horse-riding was a real highlight. A great picturesque base for our trip and would happily stay again.

The best location we stayed in Iceland

This host has a modern place with everything you need. Including a coffee pot and microwave. The hot tub was warmer than the previous place we stayed which was nice. Only things I’d add is ice cube trays. Location was great and view amazing.

Perfect place to stay in Northern Iceland!

We were so pleased with our time at Vallholt! Our family of 5 enjoyed the layout of the house, the view, and the quiet town. We were able to drive and explore the surrounding areas with ease and then soak in the hot tub after a day of exploring. I could not imagine a more perfect place to stay.

Lots of room for our family of four. Hot Pot was amazing and we even saw the northern lights one night. Location was great - about 30 min drive from Akureyri in a quaint little town right on the water. Beautiful. A couple of small quibbles - the beds are very firm, the wi-fi in the living room is dreadful so you cannot stream or cast onto the tv, the espresso maker is finicky, and make sure to read up on the trash procedures ahead of time - it’s a distance to the main bins. But like I said - very small issues for an overall wonderful stay in a great house. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat.

The most relaxing time one can have

Honestly, this place is a remarkable gem, in an adorable town, set in an unforgettable region of Iceland. We LOVED every second here and coming back to this house after a day of exploring felt calming. Bring groceries, have a seat in the hot pot, enjoy the view from a bunk bed, stay a while!!!

Amazing Time in Grenivik

Myself and a group of friends made the trip to Grenivik for Spring Break, and had a wonderful time in town thanks to the Vrbo provided by Thomas. Everything from details about amenities in the house to fun things to do around town were provided by the host, making this experience absolutely perfect for myself and my friends.

4 days in Grenvik

It was a nice house, very spacious. The view over the bay was beautiful. Everything you need was available. Communication with the owner was excellent and there was very good and useful documentation. There was a construction site next to the house, but because we started early every day that was no problem.

A super place with a very responsive remote host. The house is big and extremely well-equipped incl. outdoor hot tub (view over the lake) and top-quality kitchen with the same view over the lake while cooking and eating. A little way (30 mins) from the regular Ring Road but a lovely village and area to explore, including some or all of the Arctic Way. For whale-watching it’s close to Husavik for and even closer to Hauganes, which can be seen from the house and exceeded all expectations for us. (We even saw the whale activity across the water the next day once we knew where to look … take binoculars!). Thank you Thomas!

Great stay in a great location

House was clean and very spacious. Plenty of heat and hot water. Being right on the water was wonderful. We used the hot tub almost every night. Our first night there, a pod of whales swam by while we were in the hot tub. Grenivik is a lovely location, a quiet town about half an hour from the city and all its amenities. It was a great launching point for all the local attractions. The hosts were super helpful. We left an important bag behind with laptop, passports, medication, etc. and they mailed it back to the States for us.

House with uninterrupted super sea side views

Property has a rather unusual layout with the lounge in the basement. This means the best views are always from the Kitchen on the first floor. The only downside is there is a new property being built next door. This was not a problem during our stay but as it grows I suspect the noise will become increasingly intrusive during the day.
