Seaside Glass Villas

Pros +

• Location
• Excellent quaint property in Kemi. This appartment is a unique take on conventional igloos in Lapland. I recommend the Seaside Glass Villas for everyone who is looking for a quiet igloo stay that will not burn a hole in your pocket

Cons -

• The staff leaves premises after 8pm. Nobody is onsite...they give Security Number...when called nobody answered. So guests cannot get any kind of help in night if needed. We stayed in Luxury Sea Side villa No 25. In non-occupied villa No 24 lights were ON the whole night...so when Northern lights appeared in sky we could not see them properly due to light being reflected back from the snow(see attached photos). It was very annoying that the whole purpose to see Northern Lights was defeated by staff keeping lights ON in a vacant villa. When we called Security at the number given there was no response. It was very frustrating, disappointing experience even after paying more than $600/night. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY IN THIS PROPERTY. Next day morning when we complained at reception, all they had to say was "Sorry". Visitors from other countries don't visit Finland quite often and after so much research and planning when they finally plan a vacation Sea Side Glass Villas staff knows exactly how it can be ruined. Before leaving the premises at 8pm why can't they walk the property to make sure everything is okay.
• Kemi is a small town and the property is located about 15 mins from the railway/bus station. Please arrange your transportation to the property in advance before you arrive in Kemi. The property should indicate this in a "How to reach us" recommendation while communicating with guests.
