Family-friendly vacation rentals in Kópavogur

Perfect cottage in the perfect location! Elsa and Thain were exceptional hosts!

Lovely place if you are looking for some peace and quiet. It’s also a good location to see the Northern Lights - they were right above us!

This house was the perfect stay for our group of 3. The location was great! Easily walkable to shops, bars, museums and restaurants. Parking was right out front and it’s free on nights/weekends.

We had a lovely time staying here! GORGEOUS location and so peaceful. Felt right at home here, it was truly a beautiful stay.

We had an absolutely amazing stay here! From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless. Getting to the lodge was easy, both during the day and at night, and the check-in process couldn't have been smoother. The place is exactly as described, if not more beautiful in person. The views of the mountains and lake from the lodge are simply breathtaking, and we were lucky enough to catch glimpses of the Northern Lights! The location is also ideal, with many excursions not being too far away. A helpful tip - you’re planning to do the Northern Lights tour, we discovered that the stops to view them were only about a 5-minute drive from the lodge, so you might want to consider just driving around to catch them! Gudrun was fantastic and was always available to answer any questions we had. My family and I loved every moment of stay and We definitely hope to return in the future.

Sigurdur was an excellent host. His home was beautiful, very clean and we enjoyed the sauna and hot tub immensely. The house was well stocked and very comfortable. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Great stay for Iceland!

I cannot say enough about how positive our experience with Helga and her home was! She was extremely proactive in her communication and went above and beyond to make the home comfortable for our 1st vacation with our 7 month old son. If you are looking for a calm, quiet, peaceful home-away-from-home, Helga's place is PERFECT! It is not a far drive from downtown Reijkavik and has fantastic proximity to Hvasmmsvik Hot Springs and the Golden Circle. We made memories that will last a lifetime holding our son and watching the Northern Lights dance across the sky from the floor to ceiling windows in the liviing room and loft. We cannot wait to return to Iceland and hope to find our way back to Helga's home!

Hannes is an excellent host and communicator. It was a great stay and experience, we will be back again. Thank you Hannes! 😃

A lovely cabin in peaceful surroundings — the perfect place to recharge and enjoy a relaxing holiday. Highly recommended!

Lovely stay with a nice warm fire. Would definitely recommend.

Thank you Atli for providing a welcoming space for travelers. Perfect for families with young kids. Great location at top of Rainbow street. Walkable and safe. Would definitely love to stay again in the future.

Lovely little cabin. Quite isolated so very peaceful but only a short drive to restaurants and shops. It felt very authentic Iceland to see the horses from the house! A good base to explore from.

This apartment is sublime - we loved it - so warm and cosy, so beautiful and calm - a wonderful place for a retreat (and I kind of wish I lived there!). Tactile bare wood floors, whitewashed timber walls, and calm warm light. Hafnaforthur itself is truly beautiful (& we recommend Brikk bakery!!!) and a great stepping off point for Reykjavik, the Golden Circle and the Blue Lagoon. We went in the winter, and were grateful for the strong radiators and the wonderful hot baths. Soley and her family live in the apartment below, and Soley was easy to reach and communicate with as well as sending lots of thoughtful suggestions for both practical things like groceries, and adventures like whale watching. Soley also provides a wonderful range of products from her own skincare range which smell incredible, and made our stay a really sensory experience. We greeted the display of her lotions in duty-free like an old friend, and I would have brought the whole lot home if I could have afforded them!

Gunnsa is a true gem of a host, her space is filled with character and is well-lived in, but not so much that it doesn’t feel like your own cozy space upon check in. She is so sweet and even left us a thoughtful little welcome gift! The communication was easy and quick- she certainly strives to truly make you feel comfortable. The house itself was perfect for us 4 single friends, we each had comfortable rooms with double beds and even a hot tub we enjoyed! The location is about 15-20min outside of the city center, but since we’re here mostly to explore nature, it was the perfect jump off point with many grocery (even Costco) options nearby to get geared up and head out of town with. Her kitchen is well-stocked, she’s obviously a chef and for our group to whom food is everything, it was nice to cook in her space, wanting for nothing. Thank you Gunnsa for you warm Icelandic hospitality!

Sloveig was such a wonderful host and really went out of her way to make us feel welcomed. The place was beautiful and comfortable in every way imaginable and super close to the city center without the crowd. Definitely a place I would want to come back to!

Staying here was extremely convenient for our trip in Reykjavík. Our flight landed early in the morning and Edda was able to accommodate early check-in. The space was clean and spacious for our needs and walkable into the city center. There is a nearby bakery and grocery store, and the stay itself was quiet and private.

Sigurdur's place is an ideal location. A quick drive into the city (15 minutes), a lovely walking path, and quiet. The unit was clean, had everything we needed and private. He was very responsive to questions and met us outside as soon as we arrived.

Stayed here for 3 weeks to study, so we rented the entire apartment. The location was perfect, lovely parks and an ice rink nearby, and only a short bus ride or 25 minute walk by the sea to downtown reykjavik. Kitchen had everything you would need to cook and clean. Hakon had loads or information left available on tours, bus routes, restaurants etc, that were very helpful. A home away from home.

Helena was warm, friendly and extremely helpful before we arrived and her house was simply wonderful. Clean, tidy, plenty of space and every bit as welcoming as Helena. The house felt really authentic and was a perfect base from which to explore this amazing country. We felt very much at home during our stay and we loved looking after Freyja (the cat). Helena left clear instructions as to how to navigate the house as well as lovely ideas for excursions. She contacted us ahead of our visit to send us information and replied to any of our queries straight away. We loved our time in Iceland and amongst all of our highlights of places we visited, returning home to Helena's house each evening was absolutely one of them. A very beautiful home and we feel lucky to have found such a gorgeous place to stay. Tim and Claire xx
