Averøy · Atlanterhavsveien · Norway

Wake up to the sound of the ocean

A private coastal retreat

Minutes from the Atlantic Ocean Road, a world away from everything else.

A private, warm home in a quiet coastal setting on Averøy — built for couples, photographers, nature lovers and fishing enthusiasts. Large windows, natural materials, and total calm.

Northern Lights in winter. Endless daylight in summer. Raw Norwegian nature, year-round.

The journey

From the Atlantic Road to your own front door

Follow the road in — over the bridges, across the island, out to the quiet edge of Ekkilsøy.

  1. Chapter one · The Atlantic Ocean Road

    The road that dives into the sea

    Eight bridges thread the skerries between Vevang and Kårvåg. Storseisundet is the one everyone knows — the curve that seems to launch you straight into the Norwegian Sea before setting you gently down on Averøy. Let the drive in slow you down. The journey is part of the stay.

  2. Chapter two · Across Averøy

    An island that works for a living

    Route 64 crosses Averøy between fishing harbours, boat sheds and sheep grazing the open heath. No queues, no hurry — twenty unhurried minutes of coastline with the sea never far from the windscreen.

  3. Chapter three · A thousand-year detour

    Older than the road, older than the town

    Pause at Kvernes, where a medieval stave church still watches the fjord. Walk deep into the Bremsneshola cave, or look across the sound to Kristiansund, the old klippfisk town — and far out on the horizon, the abandoned island village of Grip.

  4. Chapter four · The last bridge

    One more bridge, and the sea is yours

    A narrow bridge leaves the main road and lands on Ekkilsøy. At the end of it: a small holiday hamlet on its own stretch of shoreline — lawns down to the water, jetties and a sheltered marina, shared only with the handful of guests staying here.

  5. Chapter five · Two lights

    The sky decides the season

    In summer the sun barely sets — fish at midnight, coffee on the terrace at 3 a.m. In winter, storms roll in from the west, and on clear nights the aurora fills the sky above the jetty. Same address, two different worlds.

  6. Chapter six · Out to the banks

    Cast off from your doorstep

    The waters off Averøy are serious fishing grounds — cod, saithe, haddock and the occasional halibut. Fish from the shore, or take a boat from the marina and head for the deeper banks. The quay is made for landing the day's catch.

Experiences

Shaped by light, sea and season

The house sits where the road meets the ocean. What you do next depends on the time of year — and how far you feel like wandering.

Storseisundet bridge arching over the Atlantic Ocean Road with breaking waves below

One of the world's most famous road trips starts minutes from your door. Drive it at sunrise, photograph it in a storm, or simply watch the traffic of waves instead of cars.

Aurora borealis in vivid green and purple above the coastline on a clear winter night

On clear winter nights, the sky above Averøy comes alive. Step onto the terrace, look up, and let the aurora do the rest — no tour bus required.

Golden midnight sun reflecting on still water with the sky never fully dark

In summer, daylight simply never ends. Fish at midnight, hike at 2 a.m., or sit on the terrace and watch the sun graze the horizon without ever leaving it.

The day's catch laid out on the quay with the sea and coastline in the background

Hiking trails and snorkelling spots start in the neighbourhood, and the fishing grounds off Averøy are some of the richest on the Norwegian coast.

Year-round

One house, four seasons

Winter storms, spring calm, endless summer light and golden autumn — the same view, never the same day. Bring a camera. Bring a dog. Pets stay free.

In their own words

Guests keep telling us the same thing

Idyllic views, exceptionally quiet and remote, yet had everything one could want for a holiday home to relax. One could spend hours just looking at the view and listening to the seabirds.

We love the location! It is practically on an island and right next to the ocean. The house is very clean, and the owner is very nice and detail-oriented.
