Seaside Villa - 6 Bedrooms, a property with a garden, is set in Garðabær, 6.8 km from Hallgrímskirkja Church, 8 km from Solfar Sun Voyager, as well as 42 km from Blue Lagoon. This property offers access to a patio, free private parking and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is situated 5.4 km from The Pearl.

We loved everything about this property. We spent 10 days there and loved every little thing. The owner came by to explain how everything works (the European showers were tricky for us) and told us we could help ourselves to detergent for the washing machine and dishwasher, soap, shampoo, condiments he kept on the kitchen and he even let my husband used his vinyl music collection, which he really, really enjoyed. Owner was extremely nice, he even let us check in at 8 am instead of 4 pm since our flight arrived really early, which was a life saver. The house is bigger than it looks in the pictures, it's in perfect condition, nicely decorated, and has tons of great amenities, like fireplace, firewood, and large 4kTvs with Netflix, even a grand piano (which my husband, once again, really enjoyed!) We are a family of 5 and there are 5-6 bedrooms so each of us could have our own, beds are really comfortable. The only thing I would suggest is to bring blackout sleep masks if you travel during summer since the bedroom blinds do let the light pass through. The neighborhood is really nice and so close to everything! There are no words good enough to describe how much we enjoyed our stay!

    We were here for the 3rd time, so that means we almost fall in love with this place. Surrounded by the ocean is absolutely breathtaking. You can walk around the village and relax. This is the great place to see the Aurora due to low city light around (and we saw that!). Hot tub is a big plus, only if you are in cottage where is this hottub, you hear people walking on the top of the roof, but hot tub is open only till 10pm, so for the night is calm and quiet.

    Quiet location, perfect to watch the northern lights. Relaxing, the sauna and hot tub were the perfect additions. Great if you have a rental car to move around. The staff are extremely nice and available. Best sleep I’ve had in a while, strongly recommend!

    Cozy room with private bathroom. Clean, lots of surfaces where to stow your stuff, comfortable beds, small fridge and an amazing view of the seaside. There is a hot tube and a sauna that you can use if you want. The village is 15 min away from Reykjavik by car and in the evening is quite dark so we could see the Northern Lights just from outside our room. The streets to reach it were always clean, so it wasn't difficult to get there. I would definitely choose it again!

    Really great location between the airport and the city. So easy to travel to and from and easy to find. Great location with beautiful views. The accommodation was clean and cosy, and the sauna and hot tub were a huge bonus. We would choose Hlid over a hotel in the city any day.

    Fantastic location surrounded by the sea. Interesting decoration around the garden and the shore. Romantic grassroof cabins. Do not miss the hot tubs on the roof terrace. They are open in the evening hours, but in this early season (May) you could use them at night or morning without bothering anyone. Free parking at site. Good heating (perhaps overly good.). On the way from the airport. This was our first stop in Iceland, and it was a very good start of the journey.

    Superb cottages! There was so much space in the room and the bathroom was so big. The room was very clean with a fridge and water heater. We loved the ocean view. Sauna and hot tubs were wonderful to unwind at the end of the day, hearing the waves crash on rocks was wonderful!
