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.

, the amenities and the location. Comfortable modern design with a toasty oceanside hot tub. Easy drive north to sites or east to Vik. Definitely walk down to the lobster house for dinner, go hungry so you can finish the 3 course dinner. Definitely won’t forget this part of our vacation!

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!!

We loved the coziness of this property, as well as the hot tub and views!!

This home was even more beautiful than described. We were so happy and cozy here for a week. There are not enough words to describe the peace and tranquility this home provides. Do not hesitate to book this location.

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.

We love the Barn House!!! The house is beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. The view of the ocean was incredible! Sitting in the hot tub was the perfect way to relax after exploring the southeast coastal area. We would definitely stay in the Barn House again!

We all loved the Barn! It was everything we hoped for and more. The location was ideal for watching the waves and the swans. The decor was true Scandinavian simplicity and beauty. And we enjoyed the ship-like efficiency of space. It was perfect!

This property is absolutely beautiful and we enjoyed our stay here. It had more than enough space for three people, and it had everything we could possibly need. We would love to come back and stay here again. Thank you!

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!

Everything was perfect.

This listing is exactly as pictured and one of the best stocked Vrbo’s I’ve ever stayed in as far as linens, pillows, kitchen amenities, etc. Communication with the host was great and check in was contactless and a breeze. And - the restaurant they recommended just down the road was incredible. All in all it was a perfect stay and I would absolutely stay here again!

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!

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!

This was our second year staying in the barn house. Needless to say we like it there a lot! Beautiful design and decorated house. Amazing location right on water with spectacular views. Great restaurants close by in Selfoss.

We loved this property and hope to be back to stay here again. Very convenient for the small Golden circle tour and also the property is half way between the airport and Vik. Great place to stay if you are trying to see a lot in Iceland in just a few days. The stairs are difficult but we got used to them. Thank you for a wonderful time.

Perfect location if you plan on doing both the Golden circle and the south coast drive to Vic. House was well appointed with a detailed instruction book in English for operating washing machine, dishwasher etc. would recommend! The only suggestions I have is for some kind of weights at bottom of shower curtain so it isn’t constantly sticking to you, an extra section of sofa and a drying rack for wet suits 😊�

We couldn’t have been any happier with the home. Beautifully decorated, charming town with one of the best rated restaurants in all of Iceland within walking distance. Centrally located to see all the amazing sites Iceland has to offer. We ate at every restaurant owners recommended and loved every one of them. Thank you! We will definitely be back. Trying winter season next time. Hoping to see 24 hour darkness and northern lights in winter. Thank you!!!! Cheri I still can’t believe one prior guests comments about there not being a coffee shop in town which is the only comment affecting the 5 star rating. You’re in Iceland not Iowa! Plus she’s wrong!

We loved staying in this magical, cozy home right on the water with amazing views. The house is warm, clean, bright, fully stocked and had everything we needed for our family. Our 10 and 7 year old boys loved exploring here. In April the wind and rain were constant and this house (and the hot tub!) was our oasis after long days exploring rugged landscapes. We loved being in the town of Stokkseyri- it gave us a sense of living in a small town and it is the perfect location from which to explore the southeast coast. Everything you need is within a 15 minute drive in Selfoss. We had a great experience riding horses right up the road in Eyrarbakki at Bakkahestar. Kristinn and Rut were very accommodating with our specific needs. We could not have had a better experience in this special home.

We loved our stay here! The bedrooms were a good size, the beds were comfortable and we loved being able to sort our recyclables like we do at home. We enjoyed soaking in the hot pot, which was already set at a good temperature. We felt spoiled by the robes provided and lovely soaps and shampoos. Thank you to Kristinn and Rut!

Home is so unique and modern and in a perfect little coastal town. We had our best meal of the entire trip right around the corner. And what a view!

We will never forget our stay at the Barn. It was a surprise for my husband's 40th birthday and it was so perfect for a trip involving daily hiking (the hot spring hot tub was dynamite!!). Thank you Kristinn! You have made such a beautiful spot for travellers to stay.

I met my 2 sons in Iceland and after a 2 night stay in Reykjavik, we then stayed at the Barn House and drove to the spectacular sites within a 2 hour drive of the house. We always looked forward to coming back to relax in the hot tub and take in all the stars and hoping to see the Northern Lights. I don't think the house would be suitable for older adults or families with young children, as the steps to the main floor are a little steep and difficult to maneuver. A microwave would have been convenient. But the other amenities and useful information given by Kristinn and Rut more than made up for it. Thank you again for sharing your unique and beautiful home. We are hoping to return again next year. Jean from Tarpon Springs, Fl.

The home was well furnished and very comfortable but extremely isolated [ one hour from Reykjavik]. There wasn't even an open coffee house near by. We could not get the oven to work and the smoke alarms went off during our stay requiring us to remove each alarm battery. I would recommend this property if you really want to get away from it all!

Great location and view. Kids loved exploring the lava shore.

Loved staying in the barn house in Stokkseyri. The owners were very friendly and provided a 20 page review of the house, the area, and the sights of Iceland. Great views from the second floor balcony of the ocean and tide pools.

We had a wonderful experience in the barn house. The pictures do a great job of showing exactly what the house looks like. We were there with our two young boys and they loved the house as well. The stairs are steep so something to watch if you have really little ones. They also had instructions on using all of the appliances and amenities. They also translated all of the options on the washer/dryer so you knew what setting you were choosing. You don't realize how difficult it can be to operate a dryer until you have no idea what any of it says, lol. We spent one day in Reykjavik and another roadtripping the southern part of the ring road so this was the perfect location in between all of the places that we wanted to go. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

Great house and location-overlooking volcanic beach with geothermal hot tub to boot! Excellent appliances and amenities which enhanced stay. Responsive host, wish we could have stayed longer!

Our family recently stayed here for 4 nights. The barn house was our beautiful, warm retreat to come back to after days of exploring the gorgeous, cold Iceland countryside. It was our home away from home for the week. The view from the deck is fabulous. We appreciated the smart TV and wifi. (We have 2 teenagers.) It has all the necessities you'll need with the exception of plug adapters. The one thing i wasn't expecting was European outlets. We went into Selfoss and bought a plug adapter so I could use my curling wand. So, if you're traveling from America, bring an adapter and you're all set! I highly recommend staying here and feel so lucky to have stumbled across it on my vacation rental search. Thanks Kristinn & Rut!

Stayed here early November. Property was very well kept, clean and very warm which was as well as the weather was very cold. We are a family of 5 and had lots of room. The stairs up to the living room was steep so wouldn't be ideal for small kids but that's the only issue. Our kids loved the hot tub, the telescope and of course the wifi. The house had everything we needed and was great to return to after a days sightseeing. The kitchen area is well stocked, the bathroom v clean and great shower. Stokkseyri is small and with only 1 small shop but Selfoss 10 mins away has everything you'd need. As for sightseeing Iceland has it all Recommend going to blue lagoon straight from the airport and book in advance to avoid queues. We drove the golden circle kerid., geysir, gulfoss, and back via thingvellir national park. It's one long day but easy drive and worth it The south coast drive takes you by seljalandfoss, skogafoss and by the glacier to Vik. We did this another day , scenery is incredible. Don't miss the black sand beach near Vik. We also had a Fay in Reykjavik if going longer than 3-4 days then I would book activities. thanks Kristinn for the use of your house. It was an unusual interesting style of house but very comfortable
