Fjord hot tub
We had a great stay. It’s something special to sit in a hot tub looking out at the fjord with the snow capped mountains in the background.

Amazing location
Beautiful location overlooking Eyjafjorour, our stay was made even more amazing watching the Whales from the dining room window. Property was clean and warm, a little too warm for us. Had an amazing time plenty to see and do

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.

Warm and Cozy
We really enjoyed this stay. The house was clean and well equipped. There was lots of room for all five of us - very spacious! We truly enjoyed the view from the family room. We found the location handy to explore parts of northern Iceland. Thank you

Very nice house in a great location, with everything you need

Beautiful house right on water in quiet village
The house is beautiful and comfortable. It was so nice to have a washer and dryer to do laundry. We also enjoyed using the Hot Pot at the end of long days hiking. The village is small and quiet. Plan ahead form groceries and supplies as Akureyri is about a 30 minute drive for groceries…..

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.

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.

Wonderful, quiet, beautiful view
Everything was wonderful… very clean, all the dishes we needed to cook in, plenty of room, even had a drying rack for items we didn’t want to dry all the way.. many sights to see within 1.5 hours driving, making it our perfect base to explore the north..

Lost in the North
It is a grate Place for People they love Snow. Very small Village, but everything you need. Hope it will not change if the new Hotel opens next season.

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!!!

View spectacular
I would only suggest that there be a house number on the building , slightly confusing and moving the stereo in the back dresser and putting a small sofa against the railing! Give an area to relax in.

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.

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.

Ideal family base
Really great place to use as a vase to explore North Iceland , both locally and a bit more widely. House was everything we hoped for. My daughter spotted whales out in the bay but declined to tell anyone till the next day! So remind your group to tell everyone if they spot one! If you are really tall (I’m 200cm) mind your head on he beam downstairs!

A very nice and cozy place to stay
The property was lovely for the most part. It was warm and cozy and spacious. The upstairs shower was not working properly. We reported it. Luckily there was a downstairs shower we could use. It would have been rough if a big group was there. We only had two people for our stay. Also, there was no dishwasher soap. And it would have been nice to have some measuring utensils. There wasn’t even a measuring cup. Aside from the shower issue, nothing else was a major problem. Overall, I would definitely stay there again. The pluses definitely outweighed any minuses. The view was spectacular! The one and only time we saw the northern lights was from the house. The downstairs family room was huge and a really nice touch. We spent a lot of time there. It had big windows to see the view as well.

Fantastisches Fjordhaus
Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit in dem tollen Haus mit Sterne schauen vom Hottub aus, Fjordblick beim Frühstück und Kochabenden im großzügigen Wohnraum. Tagsüber haben wir die Umgebung erkundet am Diamond-Circle und eine super erfolgreiche Walbeobachtung gemacht. Das Haus hat für uns 6 Freunde perfekt gepasst.
