Holiday home in Bøstad, near Leknes

Lauvåsstua stands by the shore on Nesjeøyveien in the Bøstad area of Vestvågøy. Booking.com lists it as beachfront, with its own beach; the host explains that the beach is on their land, about 100 metres from the house, along 400 metres of shoreline.

Swimming is possible, though this is not a bathing beach in the usual sense. The host describes the water as cold for most of the year, with a shallow section by the shore and the warmest sea in late July and early August. Canoeing and hiking are listed nearby.

The house is 115 m², with a double and a twin bedroom, two living rooms, a kitchen with oven and dishwasher, and one bathroom. It is non-smoking and hypoallergenic, has an EV charging station, and cots are available.

Things to consider

Check-in is 15:00 to midnight and the property wants your arrival time beforehand; check-out is by 11:00. No pets, no extra beds and no hen or stag parties. The facility list also mentions a shared toilet, shared kitchen and shared lounge, which sits oddly with a detached house, so ask if privacy matters.
