About our home
Available July 25 to August 8, for Points Swap.
Arriving to our home after 2 minutes boat ride you will experience a sanctuary. Walking off your private wharf you first pass our Sauna house where two can sleep and where you can take a sauna anytime. Walking up the stairs to the main house gradually takes you to a stunning view and here you can relax on a number of terraces indoors and outdoors. All of this only 15 minutes from downtown Stockholm.
Note that the house is elevated so you need to walk some stairs to get "home", see picture.
The water is fresh, clean and a short swim makes a great morning exercise. Get back up to the house for a breakfast in the 30 Sqm kitchen (Seats 14) with equally stunning view.
The Island is called Storholmen (Large-islet), and is a no-motor vehicle Island. Why not visit the next door local restaurant where locals and visiting people spend quality time, almost like an extra living room. Or take a short walk to our neighbor where you can buy fresh eggs for your breakfast.
To get to the House is very easy. Simply take the Ferry or ask me to pick you up or arrange pick-up first time. The commute ferry arrives 13 times every day from/to Ropsten where you have access to the Stockholm subway system, this is how most people on the Island commute to work. The Subway tickets are also valid for the Ferry.
An hour ferry-ride takes you to downtown Stockholm the most beautiful city, especially when entering from the sea side.
If you are a good fisherman, you can catch Salmon, Pike-perch, Perch or Pike, even from the Wharf. If you want some exercise you can take the red kayak for a tour around the island, or why not the SUP.
We possibly exchange the house with Car (direct swap)
This is the true way of discovering the Stockholm archipelago, summer lazy days, and the city of Stockholm all in one great package.
Welcome!!

Peter's reviews
As a host (5) 
“We had a fantastic stay at Peter and Anna's superb house! It was such a beautifully located home, easy to travel to and the information provided was very comprehensive. The sleeping accommodation was comfortable and clean and nicely organised. The living accommodation was wonderful with many levels and great locations to find a quiet spot to dine, relax and retreat. The lower decking area and the view were heavenly! Wonderful for swimming, playing cards, cooking in the outdoor kitchen or taking an evening sauna. The local restaurant was excellent and we enjoyed two meals with some fantastic seafood. We had a memorable holiday and were well support by Peter throughout the trip if we had any questions or queries. It was the perfect break for our family (very few trips into Stockholm city as the house and island was just too enticing to leave) and I would highly recommend this as a house swap. ”
“The location was beautiful. We were staying on an island in the archipelago, but it was an easy boat ride into Stockholm to see all the city has to offer. Peter was so helpful with directions and instructions for the sauna house and boat. He even picked up groceries for us before our arrival. He really went above and beyond expectations . The island is a perfect vacation spot. It was one of the best vacations we have had in years. Thank you”
“We had the most wonderful week in Vera,Anna and Peters house, the view does’nt get better and the house is build around the view, so you can enjoy it from most rooms and all the terrases. The little island is extremely charming and quiet even though you are only 8 kilometers from the center of Stockholm. Thanks again Anna and Peter, we hope to come back”
“Our family enjoyed every minute of our stay- and we had a wonderful holiday ”

Where is it?
Neighbourhood
You will be staying on the Island of Storholmen (Big-Islet). Here you have about 200 houses with some half of it being populated all year around, and the other half is vacation homes. There is a local restaurant and you can ask us about where to go and buy daily fresh eggs if you like.
The ferry take you there 13 times a day, either 3 minutes from the Car parking lot, or 25 minutes from Ropsten subway station. Last one to leave from Stockholm is 10.40pm
If you feel like exercising, you have Bosön, to where you can take a boat in 4 minutes. Here all Swedish top athletes practice with the best surroundings, and it is open for you too. Do not be surprised to find famous hockey or football players training here.
