The home was awesome! Its location on the Golden Circle was an ideal base to explore this most beautiful region. We will be back.

There is plenty that is good, so I will start with that. The location is amazing. 3-minute walk to the lake beach. Close to a lot of activities in the Golden Circle. Hot tub was fantastic and sauna was easily started with provided wood. Unit is two buildings and was well stocked with supplies. We were 7 guys celebrating our 50th birthdays and had tons of space. Saw the northern lights on both clear nights. Bad - 1) Getting into the gated community is annoying. Other reviews have mentioned this, but you need to call the management company on your phone every time you want to get in. Make sure you have their numbers during office hours and after hours. There should be some way to fix this with a remote control left in the unit. The other homes there have remotes to get in. When leaving the gate opens automatically. 2) We also had a stopped kitchen sink and had to come up with a workaround to get the dishwasher to work (jam door closed with a mop handle). They fixed the sink within a day, but still they had to know this was an issue prior to us. 3) Trash and recycling are a pain, you have to take it a few miles down the road into a small dump. Unacceptable - They forgot to tell us that the place had an alarm. There was no mention about an alarm in any of the brochures or instructions they sent about how to get access. So the first 5 minutes of our vacation we had a screetching alarm going off. This is ridiculous and was a tough way to start a fun stay.

There is a lot to like about this house. The house itself is a lovely bit of architecture - we loved the high ceilings and the Scandinavian design. The location is also superb - quiet, private, and beautiful views. Some minor annoyances: - The doors need new locks - the existing ones require lots of fumbling to work. - The house was FREEZING when we got there, and didn't warm up for ~24 hours. - No microwave. Not a big deal. - Laundry takes ~6 hours. As I understand it, this is quite normal in Iceland. - The light switches made no sense at all, but they would eventually work through trial and error. And the real reason for a lukewarm review of this property? To gain access to the house, one has to call the management company, and they will remotely trigger a gate that lets you in. If you can't get through the gate, it's about a quarter mile walk. The management company told us that the house would have a phone that we could use to call while we were staying there, so we didn't pick one up at the airport. When we arrived at the house, the phone there was broken. We spent a fare portion of our vacation trying various stores to find a phone that would work, but every store was sold out. The management company was accommodating. A very nice gentleman came out to the place on the second evening to help with the heating issue. He also offered to let us through the gate for the night. Unfortunately, when we got to the top of the hill, the management company themselves were unable to remotely trigger the gate. The rest is a long story - to his credit, the gentleman from the company stuck with it for about 35 minutes, eventually getting a neighbor to let us in. I really appreciated that - I'm sure he wanted to get home too! - but by the time I got back to the VRBO, my wife was worried sick that something had happened to me. The hassle of getting through that gate everyday was a real bummer. In the end, we had to haul our luggage, trash, and groceries about a quarter mile uphill on the day that we checked out. Had I been camping, that would have been fine, but we paid luxury prices to rent this particular VRBO. So would I recommend it? For European travelers. whose phones will work in Iceland, yes. For travelers from the United States, no (unless you are certain that you will have a working phone in Iceland).

Beautiful home, very well equipped, as advertised, two inconveniences, first was calling to get access to the property every time we returned and the second was a power outage left us with no way to drive to the property, if it wasn’t for a friendly neighbor who helped us hike down to the property without our vehicle checking in would not have happened. A big thanks to him for saving the day.
