“I stayed at this lovely property last summer and somehow forgot to write a review. Our stay on Rosso was undoubtedly the highlight of our trip to Sweden! The house is exactly as pictured - simple and comfortable, which is perfect for a summer home. The neighborhood is a peaceful collection of similar homes. The location is the highlight and the real reason to come here. Rosso Island is SPECIAL and staying at Erlend's house let us experience it as if we were locals. There's a tiny "town" area with a restaurant with a dock and a market where you can purchase food. At the end of many roads is a parking lot where you can leave your car, then walk for 5 minutes or so through a forest, and then you'll find yourself on a beach. Every evening we found a rocky beach to explore, where we watched the sun set at 10:00. Nearby is Kosterhavets National (Marine) Park, which was another main draw to this region. We took a ferry to North Koster Island and spent the day exploring the trails, which was perfection. Erlend was really lovely - communicative, generous, and helpful. I would highly recommend staying here to experience a slice of Swedish paradise!”

About our home
The property is situated five minutes walk from the ocean, but it includes a private quai, so arrival by boat is possible.
The island of Rossö is quiet and beautiful, with lots of pine trees and paths for walking/running/cycling. A big portion of the island lies within the Koster ocean national reserve.
The house itself is from 1960.
We have added a new kitchen.
Two toilets, one bathroom. Washing machine.
An open fireplace.
Endless possibilites for swimming or sunbathing in pittoresque places.
Use of our boat could be negotiated - if you have the necessary skills.
Three kayaks are also available.
Lots of playthings for children in the boathouse.
Lots of Lego in the house.
We spend most of our summers in this house, but would usually like to swap or rent it out for a couple of weeks at the start of august.

“Thanks so much Erlend and family for a wonderful holiday on Rosso. The house was basic but perfectly kitted for our boys, and we loved the rural location on the island. We loved the beach and cooked on the fire there most nights in the open air. We found the boat house after a few messages from Erlend who was very helpful and friendly, when we could take the boats out we enjoyed the beautiful water and the nature all around us. thanks again to you all, we loved Sweden and this coastline and would definitely come back.”
