Summary
Description
Apartment by the Sea puts you on the edge of Hofn, the small fishing town on Iceland's southeast coast known for its langoustine. This two-bedroom apartment suits families, small groups, or couples who want a self-catering base with sea views and quick access to Vatnajokull's glacier lagoons.
Location & Nearby
The apartment sits in Alaugarey, a quiet stretch on the edge of Hofn in Iceland's southeast, inside a historic building right on the water. From here you can walk to the village center in about fifteen minutes, and the working harbor that gives the town its seafood reputation is close by.
Hofn itself has grocery stores, gas stations, and a handful of restaurants and cafes within walking distance, so you don't need a car for daily errands. Hornafjordur Golf Course is a five-minute drive away if you want a round with mountain views, and Hofn Airport sits less than 6 miles (10 kilometers) out.
Vestrahorn Mountain and the black sand beach at Stokksnes are about 10 miles (16 kilometers) away, a quick stop for photos on your way in or out of town.
Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon and Diamond Beach sit roughly 50 miles (80 kilometers) west, both easy day trips, and Vatnajokull National Park, home to Europe's largest glacier, is within reach for anyone planning a longer stop in the region.
Facilities & Amenities
Apartment by the Sea in Hofn features two bedrooms, each with twin beds, plus a sofa bed in the living room for extra guests, so it works for groups of four and up. The open-plan kitchen comes with an oven and stovetop, so you can cook a full dinner with local fish and lamb instead of eating out every night.
A terrace off the living area looks straight out over the water, a good spot for morning coffee or watching the light change over the harbor. Past guests have spotted seals swimming just offshore and birds working the shoreline right outside the windows.
The apartment is heated throughout, has free Wi-Fi, and includes private parking right outside. Towels and linens are provided, and the whole place is non-smoking.
Check-in runs from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM and check-out is by 11:00 AM. Let the property know your arrival time in advance so the keys are ready when you get there.
