Family-friendly vacation rentals in Kópavogur

The house was very cosy, always warm and perfect for a stay as a couple. We had a great time and an amazing view of the northern lights on our final evening!

This place is magical! Set on a beautiful coastline with a brilliant orange lighthouse in the distance. The home is warm and cozy with twinkle lights and tea candles inside. The whale bones on the wall as art are just amazing. Anna found them on the shore. Make sure you check out the whale vertebrae outside by the driveway too. The hot tub under the starry sky is magnificent. Anna was so kind and helped me find the Northern lights in the sky around the home. (I had no idea they appear gray or white to the naked eye). And she gave us a tour of the family church which was gorgeous inside. My husband and I wholeheartedly recommend this home and coming to Iceland. It is another world.

Lovely traditional house in great central location….comfortable, warm and well equipped….easy walking to town centre but quiet location. Our second visit and much enjoyed. Highly recommend.

We were a family - 8 adults Everything as we hoped. The young adults in their late twenties felt it very cosy and authentic and practical.

Incredible stay from start to finish. I really cannot describe how beautiful this location and the cabin is. It’s impossible for a picture to do it justice. Cabin was spotless. Homely and cosey. The hosts were very helpful and responsive before / during and after our stay. If you are looking for a perfectly remote getaway but still within reasonable distance of civilisation in Iceland. You cannot beat this cabin.

This place is warm and cozy and it’s a short drive to downtown. There’s a lot of space for 4 of us to hangout and the neighborhood is quiet and clean.

Matti's house was perfect for our large group of 8. We had space and the kids loved the big bathroom. The location on the ocean was phenomenal. not many restaurants nearby but lots within a 15 minute drive.

Sigurður’s home was the most well thought out and well equipped AirBnB that I have ever stayed in. There were so many small touches that made our stay extra comfortable and convenient. He was also very responsive and easy to work with. I would highly recommend booking a stay with him.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Garden Cottage! Anthony & Yr were incredible hosts, very quick to respond if we had questions, friendly and gave lots of great local recommendations. We really enjoyed meeting them. The cottage is beautiful and the little details really made a big difference. We especially loved the heated bathroom floors which were so nice with it being cold out during our stay. Highly recommend the garden cottage, we would stay again! :)

Lovely homy-feeling flat with a series of creature comforts, seemless to get access to the flat, the host was always quick to reply with precise answers and even gave us suggestions of Point of Interest & activities do to. Highly recommended!

Elín’s “house of happiness” is nothing short of a dream come true! My husband and I loved every single second at this incredible secluded cabin outside of Selfoss and already dreaming of our next trip back. Elín is a warm and accommodating host, you won’t find a lovelier and more thoughtful host out there. And don’t get us started on the outdoor shower! It has the perfect temperature and pressure! Do not hesitate to book this stay. You’ll be so happy you did it! Thank you, Elín for your hospitality! We’ll be back!

Very cozy and well-equipped apartment in a quiet neighborhood, not too far to walk from the central downtown streets. Easy and simple self-checkin. Well-equipped kitchen and a nice coffee machine. There's a pizzeria and shawarma place farther up along the same street, and a small but nice convenience store within a quick walk south, and some larger supermarkets a slightly longer walk, but still not too far, along the coast to the northwest. Can highly recommend!

This place was perfect in every way possible. I really hope I can stay there again one day.

The scenery was amazing. It was wonderful to hang out on the porch, though admittedly a bit chilly in early October. The cabin was very cute, well laid out, clean, and with many small touches that made it wonderful. Only downside was that the hot water does have a strong sulfur smell and the kitchen sink is shallow resulting in water often spraying out of the sink due to the high water pressure. Aside from those two minor issues that place was perfect solitude. One other item to mention is that the nearby waterfall trail was very worthwhile. You park in the nearby small neighborhood and walk up an ATV trail. It was amazing to be the only people around the waterfall and to be able to hike further up the mountains.

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.

We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The amenities were exactly as described and met all of our needs. Having a fully equipped kitchen made it easy to cook meals. The host was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. They were quick to respond to any questions we had. We would definitely recommend this Airbnb to other travelers!

We had an absolutely perfect stay. Karl Davor told us several times that we just needed his things, so we were fine using, for example, spices, some flour, garbage bags, etc. We also had to use his hot tub at no extra cost, but of course you have to be aware that there is a smell of sulfur from the hot water, but Karl Davor has no influence on that. The beds were very comfortable and the house modern and nicely decorated. We were able to use the washer, dryer and dishwasher as well as Disney +. We had rented a car, so the distances to the sights were no problem. There is a small shop along with the gas station, where you can buy the essentials. The surroundings were a good fit for us. There are a lot of green areas/park with a playground. There is a very short distance to the beach, here you can find rocks and throws away. We didn't get to try the local swimming pool, but it's also within a short distance. We stayed here for 12 days and enjoyed every day the view of the mountain Esja.

Our short (only 4 days) holiday in Iceland was one of the best we've had in a while. Thanks in large part to Edda's wonderful apartment where we stayed. There were four of us - just right for this cosy flat with three bedrooms, bright living room, well equipped kitchen and bathroom. The location of the house is very convenient, especially for those travelling with a car. Everything is close by - the ocean, the centre and the port.... I will definitely recommend this flat to my friends if they want to visit Reykjavík. Dear Edda - thank you so much for our wonderful family trip!!!

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

Inga was a wonderful host! She met us outside offered to help with our bags. Suggested restaurants in the area and also a spot to hopefully catch the northern lights! Her place was clean and welcoming! Bed was extremely comfortable! Cute neighborhood too!
