Hítarneskot – Oceanfront House with Private Hot Tub

The views from all directions werre spectacular, I got a the best sunset picture I’ve ever taken.

As others have noted, this cottage is in a beautiful setting, surrounded by nature, with breathtaking views from every window. It is well appointed for a summer stay, but not as well for a midwinter stay. The only lights are very bright overhead lights, with no bedside table lights, no reading lamps, no wall lights - so playing games in the evening, going to the bathroom at night, and making coffee in the morning, the only options are phone flashlight or full on daylight lights; it is not very cozy. The door outside to the hot tub makes a horrendous screeching/scraping noise. There are no pillows on the couches, no games, very spare: for example, we were a group of five and there were five coffee pods left for us. I think if we’d been passing through in the summer just to spend the night between long day adventures, this place would be great. (Comfy beds, great kitchen for cooking and eating, laundry facilities!) But for a winter weekend of snuggling up, playing games, drinking coffee…it fell a bit short, especially considering the cost. The check-in email and the check-in text gave conflicting information. The posted house rules and the house description in VRBO gave different information. The pictures don’t quite match the current state of the house. Basically, for the price, the listing and the property could use a little updating.

Was hard to find the place to pick up keys then found out after calling that the key was in the house. WiFi password would have been nice to have in the house but great location to watch northern lights, out in middle of nothing and the ocean in the background.

We had a wonderful stay here. We enjoyed the full kitchen and the hot tub. Our only complaint was the directions were not clear and we ended up at the neighbour's house. We found the rental afterwards, but had no code for the property in advance. The directions said to go to the main house for the code. We had no idea where the main house was, we couldn't see any other homes. One of us ran to 3 people on horseback riding by, who conveniently had the code. We would just suggest sending the code the day before or something so we could have just let ourselves in without being stressed and trying to call the number (which no one answered).

Unfortunately we arrived in the dark and left in the dark so we can not comment on the property. In November the sun sets around 5 and risess around 10. We also got hit with a crazy storm so no hot tub. Now we did see the Northern Lights it was amazing, actually the main reason we stayed in this area. The building is modern and clean, very cozy in the storm would stay again.

Absolutely wonderful!!!! Loved the hot tub and the walks on the beach

A very nicely equipped house. We enjoyed the beach and horses. We had bad weather and the house weathered the storm well. Host was very responsive.

Extremely impressed. There was a power outage after dark. Within minutes the landlord's Mother stopped by to check on us and bring candles. Loved our stay. Will recommend it to our friends.

Beautiful farmland with an ocean view! This is a great location to stay when exploring the Snæfellsnes Peninsula, or western Iceland. It's very peaceful and nice to relax in the hot tub after a long day of adventures.

Cute cottage near the sea, perfect hot tub overlooking it all. Great accommodations for our group of 5.

The location given on the VRBO site tried to take us to a different location not even close to the house. This was not the owner's fault. There was lots of space and the kitchen had everything you need to cook and a grill that we could not get to light. There was a washer but no dryer which did not help us out.
