Strandhus med panoramautsikt

Four bedrooms and two bathrooms with the shore directly outside, on a stretch of the north coast most visitors drive past. Dogs are accepted, the whole house is on one level, and a paid shuttle covers the 24 km to Leknes Airport.

A group of six or more, or a family travelling with a dog, who want the shore to themselves rather than a village around them. Anyone without a car should weigh the shuttle carefully: Leknes is 21 km off in a straight line and no bus route is stated.

The cot policy contradicts itself: a cot for a child up to three on request at NOK 100 per night on one line, and no cots or extra beds on the next. Towels and sheets appear twice, once as provided and once at an extra fee, so check which applies. Whoever checks in must be 18, and a guest under that age needs a parent, or an official guardian, with them. The shuttle is paid for. The setting is remote — 21 km from Leknes in a straight line, with no bus route stated.

One house of 100 m² let whole, all of it on the ground floor, listed as a four-bedroom house with four beds: two rooms with a large double, one with a single, and one with a double and an en-suite bathroom. Two bathrooms in all, with a bath, a shower, a hairdryer and towels. Extra-long beds over two metres, a dressing room, a wardrobe, a clothes rack, a drying rack and linen are recorded. Booking.com publishes a maximum of seven guests.

The entire house is on the ground floor. Booking.com lists no facilities for disabled guests, so confirm what step-free access means here before relying on it.

Free WiFi, free parking on site, air conditioning, a fan, heating, a private entrance, a fireplace, a washing machine, a tumble dryer, a desk, and a flat-screen television with a streaming service and pay-per-view channels. The kitchen holds a dishwasher, oven, hob, microwave, fridge, electric kettle, coffee machine and kitchenware. Outdoors: a balcony, a terrace with outdoor furniture, an outdoor dining area and a private beach area. Family rooms and an airport shuttle are listed, and the house is non-smoking.

Self-catering, from a well-fitted kitchen, with a dining area outside beside the terrace. No breakfast, bar or restaurant is recorded at the house, and the nearest food business Booking.com names, Lofotenmat Sa, sits 28 km off.

Sandveien at Sand, on the north coast of Vestvågøy municipality. Booking.com's district for the listing is Sand; Kartverket's place-name register returned no nearby match, so the settlement name here comes from Booking.com rather than the register. The house is 21.4 km from Leknes in a straight line, further than anything else in this group, and the listing describes it as beachfront with sea, garden and mountain outlooks.

Booking.com gives Borga Radarstasjon as 20 km away, Vestvågøy Rådhus as 24 km, Leknes Airport as 24 km and Lofotenmat Sa as 28 km. A paid airport shuttle with pick-up and drop-off is offered by the house. No bus route or ferry is stated.
