Family-friendly vacation rentals in Sommarøy

The house of Trond was perfect ! Many activities were possible at Jaeger Adventure Camp (Check it on internet). We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The host's friendliness, flexibility, and attention to detail made our experience truly exceptional. The surrounding nature, especially the stunning fjord, added a breathtaking backdrop to our trip. Highly recommend!

Am struggling to write a review without sounding over the top or insincere - Finn and Marianne were the perfect hosts in every way. The cabin and surroundings are even more spacious and beautiful than the photos. Finn was the most responsive host, he gave us tips to see the Northern lights and even messaged when they were the most active! They gave advice on a car borrowing site when we had to amend our dates last minute (Getaround) when there were no other hire car options during the busy period in Norway. They legitimately saved our trip (and us alot of money in the process, as this option was also far cheaper than traditional car rental agencies). They and the cabin both exceeded every expectation, would recommend hugely! Was the perfect, peaceful stay.

Roger's home is fabulous! The location is in a quiet neighborhood that is a very easy walk to the grocery store and a nice stroll to downtown. Our group of 3 couples spent our downtime around the large kitchen table enjoying the sea views and watching boats and ships cruise by. We appreciated Roger's recommendations for restaurants. We had dinner at Skarven Kro. It was wonderful. Despite the chilly weater we used both the jacuzzi and sauna.

Definitely a place to stay we can recommend to anyone. The apartment is small but is very convenient. The views are superb. The hot tub out front was superb. Arthur and Emma were very thoughtful, polite and helpful. They provided us with all the information we might need about Tromsø before we checked in. Definitely the place we would want to stay again on our next visit to Tromsø!

A very cozy and clean apartment. Anette is incredibly friendly and helpful. Peaceful location, perfect for looking at the northern lights and yet not far from Tromsø.

We had a fantastic time staying at this property. Per and Stine were so welcoming. Per made sure we had everything we could possibly need to make the most of our time. He was very knowledgeable and we really appreciated hearing about life in Northern Norway. Staying here exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much Per.

Stay and book within the city of Tromsø for 2-3 days and the rest of your stay, you MUST book one of Freddy’s campers. Beyond the city, you will see the real beauty of Tromsø. We stayed at Freddy’s place for 5 nights! Within six days, 1. We saw the Aurora Borealis dancing right in front of Freddy’s property. 2. We watched the most beautiful green, pink, purple Aurora Borealis during our last night right at Freddy’s backyard. 💚💜💖 3. We hiked twice in different areas 30-mins away by driving from Freddy’s place, 4. We had a walk in the nearby area 5. We ate quail eggs (gifted to us by Freddy). 6. There was a day when we just stayed in the camper, enjoyed the view and read a book. We also walked around the area that day. 7. From afar, we saw Moose and Reindeers. 8. Max the cat, the ducks and Geese are a plus! So adorable! We really wanted to get around the places outside the city, good thing Freddy had an extra car for us to rent. We can assure you, renting a car and driving around is worth the view, worth the everything! 😉 The camper was clean, complete and organize as we arrived. For two people, it is very spacious. The view from the window is stunning. The camper is well-heated. 30mins away, there is a local grocery store. We ate there once and we liked it, and we did our groceries from there too. Karin welcomed us and explained to us everything. Freddy was very helpful with many tips to give us. You can ask him anything about Tromsø. He lent us snow shoes and walking sticks for hiking. We wouldn’t have hiked without it. They are both hospitable and very interesting people to talk with. So if you’re planning a trip outside of Tromsø city, Freddy’s camper is the place to be!

Tore Gjert has a beautiful house with a spectacular view to the sea. It is very personal and comfortably furnished and you will find everything you need. However, you should not have forgotten anything in the supermarket, because the way there is nice, but far. The cafe a little down the street is highly recommended. Tore Gjert is a great and helpful host with whom we had a good contact.

nice stay, good accommodation

Nick and Penny were extremely helpful and helped us to settle down when we arrived, got us some essential groceries and guided us. The surroundings are peaceful and have a great view. We could see dancing Northern lights at midnight from their apartment. It was a beautiful experience to stay at their apartment.

We loved the quite location a d the beautiful way getting there, it's a really unique place and I wish we could have stay longer

The house is very quiet with very nice views of the fjord. Due to the furnishings, it is especially suitable for families with smaller children. The house is a little more unusual than shown in the photos. For a quiet family vacation away from the hustle and bustle, but highly recommended. A private car makes sense because of the location.

Our Tromsø Airbnb was a dream! The lovely space felt like a true home away from home, with breathtaking mountain views right outside the window. It was impeccably clean and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. A super central location, just a quick 10-minute bus ride to the city center, made exploring a breeze. Gunnar, our host, was incredibly responsive and helpful, truly the best Airbnb host I've encountered in my seven years of using the platform. This experience exceeded all expectations, and we can't wait to return to this perfect Tromsø retreat!

We had a wonderful stay! Melissa is a very attentive host, she always responded quickly and was always available. The place was very clean and decorated with a lot of love for detail. You feel comfortable from the first moment and can fully enjoy the stay. The great view was particularly beautiful. A clear recommendation.

Wished we could stay for another night but they are fully booked. But I am glad that I managed to book 1 night's stay. My family of 4 (16 and 11 y/o) had a wonderful time at Delphine and Espen's beautifully restored 100 years old log cabin. Both Delphine and Espen are such wonderful hosts. Delphine responded fast to my queries and Espen was very warm, nice and friendly when we checked in. We also went on a private dog sledding activity with Espen which turned out to be great fun and filled with excitement for the entire family! My husband and I decided to be passengers for the sleds while our boys be the drivers! The scenery along the dog sledding route was amazing! If you book the accomodation, book the dog sledding activity too! You won't regret it!

Travel some days to experience the artic climates and northern lights. We were very lucky with both things. The home was easy to find, lovely, and authentically decorated with lots of personal touches. Everything was in order - clean, neat, and effective. We lacked nothing. The surroundings are amazing-nothing less. Communication with the host is easy and quick. All in all, a holiday in Gammelstua can definitely be recommended to everyone. At least we would love to come back another time ☺️

The listing is located in a quiet and a little out of the way. There is a supermarket a few meters walk away and a beautiful view at the exit of the neighborhood over the snowy mountains. A bus stop is 200m from the accommodation which makes getting around very simple. The accommodation is functional and well equipped, and Stian is very responsive and very friendly.

We had a great week at Kirsti's apartment. It was very cozy, outside it snowed and we could do a lot. In the evening we were also quickly in restaurants and the Ølhallen. The Kiwi market right nearby has everything you need. We highly recommend the apartment! For everyone it's important for: in Tromsø you will find many gluten-free offers

I'd recommend this lovely apartment without hesitation. It's small but very efficiently laid out (if you're like me you'll find this pleasing!) and I found it the perfect size for me as a solo traveller - I'd also happily stay there with my partner as we're happy being in close quarters. The bed is very comfy, the kitchen has everything you could need and the shower pressure is great. The location is a short walk from town and it's up the hill so has nice views! Incidentally my best view of the northern lights was from the porch, though I guess that was luck... Sture gave me all the instructions I could need upfront and it was very easy to find and get in. He was also very responsive. There was one evening where the people in the main house were being quite loud late at night, and he rang me back immediately and told me he would sort it out (they stopped soon afterwards). Other than that the flat was mostly very quiet and peaceful. I'd definitely stay here again! Thanks Sture :)

The apartment is fabulous. The pictures online don't convey the actual size of the apartment. Its very spacious and warm, all amenities you need are provided ( including really nice shampoo, shower gel and handsoap which is unusual for a rental). Was able to watch Netflix which is handy for when you get back form sightseeing or if you stay in at night time. The bed is extremely comfy, as are the pillows. Very quiet apartment. The accommodation is up a slope which can be tricky to navigate in cold weather but a lot of nationalities won't find this a challenge as they will be used to very cold weather ( Irish visitors may struggle a little like I did 😊). I will be returning to Tromso in the summer of next year and will absolutely rent this apartment again. Tromso is an amazing city, and having an amazing central base adds to the enjoyment of a short holiday. Have rented many many apartments on my travels over the years and this is in my top 10!

Clean and modern apartment situated just a 10 minutes walk away from Tromsø city centre. Local amenities and services recommended by hosts and check in instructions made very clear.

Perfect stay in Tromso. We felt right at home once arrived at Daniel’s place. And was really kind to let us do an early checkin which is really nice because we had an really early flight, we were able to take a rest before heading for our aurora hunting at night. The house got everything you need. Transportation is also super convenient, bus 26 is 2 minutes away from the house and bring us directly to city center and also the airport. The beds are really comfortable. Contact with the host was also perfect, really clear instructions for checkin and etc. Really recommend for other visitors.

What a heavenly little cabin nestled in the woods! The perfect spot to spend five snowy nights! Yes, the cabin is cozy, the views are beautiful, the location is great. But the hosts - Eva & Inge - are what truly make this location special (and the fire oven, which I was obsessed with)! I would recommend this place without hesitation. And will most definitely be spending time there again myself!

I had a lovely sray here over a lon weekend. Location was perfect, 10 minutes walk from rhe centre but still really peaceful and private. Had great communication from the beginning, the apartment has everything in it that you would need for cooking etc and it was really cosy and warm. I would fully recommend staying here.
