Sea Pearl Lodge

A whole chalet within a short walk of a beach and a short drive of Leknes — the listing gives the airport and the town hall as 8 km each — with a balcony, a terrace and an outdoor table to eat at.

A couple or a small family who want the sea rather than the town, and do not mind one bathroom and a staircase. A cot for a child up to two can be requested free, but children of four and over are charged at adult rates, which is unusually young and worth pricing before booking.

Check-out is 10:00, earlier than most places in this guide, and check-in does not open until 17:00. Five is the published maximum, and no extra beds are available. One bathroom serves three bedrooms and the upper floor is reached by stairs only. Children of four and over pay adult rates. Pets are refused and the chalet is not let to hen or stag groups.

One detached chalet of 80 m² with three beds: a double bed in each of three bedrooms. Booking.com publishes a maximum of five guests. One bathroom with a shower, a toilet, towels and toilet paper. Linen and a wardrobe are provided.

The upper floors are reached by stairs only, and no accessibility equipment is named on the listing.

The WiFi and the private parking space are both free of charge. Inside: heating, a private entrance, parquet floors, a fireplace, a desk, a sofa, a seating area, a dining area and table, an iron with ironing facilities, a wardrobe and linen. The kitchen has an oven, a hob, a dishwasher, a fridge, a microwave, a toaster, an electric kettle, a coffee machine, kitchenware and cleaning products, with a washing machine. Outdoors there is a balcony, a terrace with furniture, an outdoor dining area and a garden.

Self-catering, with no meals served on site. The kitchen handles real cooking and there are two places to eat, one indoors and one outside.

Oksneset 2 sits under the 8370 Leknes postcode in Vestvågøy, on the headland south-east of the town. Kartverket's nearest registered settlement name is Sandsund, about 2.3 km from the map pin, and Leknes is 4.5 km away in a straight line. Booking.com classes the setting as rural and lists sea, garden, mountain and landmark views.

Booking.com gives Skomakerstranda Beach as 400 metres from the chalet, Leknes Airport as 8 km, Vestvågøy Rådhus as 8 km, Lofotenmat Sa as 11 km and Borga Radarstasjon as 32 km. Parking is free on site; no bus or transfer is named on the listing.
