A fabulous property and location!!
We visited Iceland for 2 weeks and this property was our favorite! The view of the ocean from the top floor was amazing! The filled hot tub was quite enjoyable. We have stayed at VRBO's all over the world and your property was stocked with everything you could possibly need. Kudos to you for this! Highly recommend this property!!

Well designed, well appointed, quiet home on the coast
We really loved hanging out at the Barn House. Very relaxing and lovely home with comfortable beds. We loved the view from the deck upstairs, the tiny kitchen, and its excellent storage. It had everything we needed! Stokkseyri is a small, quiet village but there was plenty to explore.It served us well as a home base for day trips to Golden Circle sites, the Reykjadalur thermal river, horseback riding, and the Westman Islands. But we could've easily spent a relaxing few days just exploring the coast, playing with the neighborhood cats, and locally meandering through Stokkseyri and its neighboring towns. Intriguing museums and historic sites. The local restaurants were really good. We LOVED Fjorubordid.

Beautiful home with everything we needed
The barn house was a peaceful base camp for exploring the south coast. We enjoyed the hot tub. The beds and bedding were comfortable. The most well stocked property I have ever stayed at with cooking supplies, laundry, and bathrobes. The large window skylights, lighting, and infloor heating created a cozy place for our family to enjoy. Highly recommend!

Wonderful base for seeing Iceland
We spent a full week at the Barn House, using it as a base from which to see much of Iceland. It was fantastic. Easily accessible to Reykjavik, the Golden Circle and much of the South Coast. We even got lucky and saw the aurora borealis one night. The house is cozy, the hot tub amazing and the beds very comfortable. The kitchen is small but contains everything you need. Highly recommend.

Relaxing with Ocean Views
My husband and I were thrilled with our stay at the Barn House. The decor was inviting and comfortable and the hot tub was the perfect way to end the day with a view of the night skies. The owner communicated effectively, ensuring we had everything we needed.

Just perfect
My husband & I just stayed with our teen twins at the barn house. Just perfect! From the view, to the comforts, to the friendly neighbor & backyard, we’d stay again. Being able to walk along the sea, and take a hot tub dip each night, was amazing. The little village was having a community festival, and its proximity to Selfoss and the southern coast plus golden circle was great. One night, we came back after hiking and made a great lamb dinner and enjoyed the peace. And thank you to the hosts for being so great with communicating. Since coming home, we’ve already have a ton of friends ask where we stayed. Til another time!

Unique and beautifully decorated barn house!
We enjoyed the vistas (and the hot tub) from this fully stocked beach house. Note that the creative nautical-style double-step staircase is treacherous for anyone with limited mobility and makes hauling suitcases upstairs a bit of a challenge. The European oven also features a dishwasher (!) but no microwave.It is a great location for exploring the south coast of Iceland.

Lovely property by the sea, beautiful vista. Just as described. Would not take young children or elderly due to steepness of internal staircase but perfect for our family. Lovely, peaceful and relaxing and the geothermal hot tub was fabulous. Information provided by the hosts was also very helpful.

Fantastic views of the ocean, the stars and the Northern lights!!!!
Upon arrival at the Barn House, we were blown away by the uniqueness, the attention to detail, the interior design and the place overall. We loved the setup, enjoyed looking up at the stars while soaking in the hot tub, waking up to the views of the ocean and the heated floors were such a treat! Centrally located between Reykavik, The Golden Circle and the black sand beaches in Vik on the southern coast. It truly was a magical trip and Kristinn was really great and responsive when we thought we left a phone at the house after departing! Thank you Iceland for the beautiful memories that we will all carry with us for a lifetime! Would highly recommend staying at this one of a kind property!!

Perfect Stay in Iceland
My family of four enjoyed our stay in Stokkseyri. The home is wonderfully inviting and located right on the coast of a lovely and quiet village. The beds were very comfortable and the house was relaxing and cozy. The hot tub was perfect to relax after long days of exploring the country. The town of Selfoss is only a 15 min drive away with a few grocery stores, nice restaurants, shopping, and a cool food hall. Overall a perfect stay for us.

Dreamy ocean-front rental in Iceland
This is a very charming rental--well known as the "barn house" and obviously owned by a highly qualified interior designer. It is picture perfect with warm lighting and feels so cozy at night. The house is stocked with everything needed for a stay, including the kitchen, laundry facilities, gorgeous bathroom, ideal hot tub setting with ocean views, binoculars (nice touch!) and robes/slippers (small but appreciated), along with ample towels. Owner provides useful information for the area, including a nice referral to two restaurants that we loved (Rauða Húsið and Fjöruborðið Restaurant). We would go back in a heartbeat!

Stunning Property!
Great location! Amazing view! Beautiful home! We truly enjoyed our stay at the Barn. It was perfect for my husband and I, but could easily fit 3-4 more people. The view of the ocean couldn't get any better. On our first day we could see whales spouting and jumping from the comfort of the home. The Barn was sparkling clean and offers all the amenities. We picked up groceries in nearby Selfoss and made ourselves at home. The hot tub felt wonderful at the end of the day. This is the perfect location to explore the Golden Circle and to make a trek south towards Vik. The owners were great to communicate with and responded immediately to our questions. You will not regret booking this location!

Beautiful home! Wonderful vacation spot.
We loved our stay in the Barn House. We are a family of four (2 teenagers) - we all loved this house. A relaxing, spectacular setting to return to after days exploring Iceland. While staying here, we took the ferry out to Vestmannaeyjar, and spent a day further east at Jokulsarlon and Skaftafell (a long drive, but fantastic scenery and an awesome hike). The home is as photographed - beautiful. We enjoyed looking out over the ocean, and loved the hot tub. Communication with the owners was excellent. I highly recommend this property, and hope to stay there again. Thank you!
