The entrance level is the heart of the house, with a fireplace, TV and comfortable seating, a laundry room and a guest WC. The master suite sits on this floor with its own walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom with both shower and bathtub. Upstairs, a second TV lounge gives the family a separate place to gather, alongside three bedrooms and a bathroom with shower. All bedrooms have air conditioning, a rarity in Swedish summer houses and welcome in July and August. The guest house by the water keeps its original charm and has its own espresso machine.
Five double bedrooms sleeping 10 guests. The master bedroom on the entrance level has a 180 cm bed, a walk-in closet and an en-suite bathroom with shower and bathtub. The upper floor holds three bedrooms, each with a 160 cm double bed and air conditioning, one of them with the view over the water, sharing a bathroom with shower. The guest house by the shoreline has a 160 cm double bed. In addition to the two bathrooms in the main house there is a guest WC on the entrance level, and a further bathroom with shower and WC out on the dock.
A large private beach leads down to a generous dock, the centre of daily life here in summer. On the dock there is an electric sauna and a bathroom with shower and WC, so you can swim, warm up and stay by the water all day. A dining table on the dock seats 6, or 8 with children. The garden and shoreline face the water directly, with space for boats, swimming and long evenings outside.
Villa Utsikten sits in Åkersberga, roughly 30 minutes from Stockholm City by car and well placed for the northern archipelago. Stockholm Arlanda Airport is about 40 minutes away. Åkersberga has grocery stores, restaurants and marinas within a short drive.

A 16th-century fortress on its own island just off Vaxholm — one of the most atmospheric places to spend an afternoon in the Stockholm archipelago. Wander the historic walls, visit the Vaxholm Fortress Museum, and stop for lunch at Bistro Kastellet's courtyard terrace with archipelago air on all sides. In summer, the neighbouring island of Badholmen opens as a beach club.
The most respected restaurant in the Stockholm archipelago — recommended by the White Guide and consistently regarded as a destination in its own right. The kitchen is built around local, seasonal ingredients, with the menu changing with the produce rather than the other way around. Three and five course menus are the format, served on a terrace overlooking the bay or in a cosy indoor setting when the weather turns. The wine list is equally considered, recognised by Star Wine List for its quality and range. Reachable by private or communal boat from Stockholm. Book in advance.
A landmark since 1906, Grinda Wärdshus is one of the most celebrated restaurants in the Stockholm archipelago. Classic Swedish cuisine, a terrace overlooking Saxarfjärden, and a more casual harbour restaurant at the water's edge. Reachable by public or private boat from central Stockholm in about an hour.
Vaxholm's most beloved café, and for good reason. Set in a 19th century heritage building right by the water, Hembygdsgårds Café is the kind of place that feels like it has always been there — because it has. The menu is classic Swedish: Toast Skagen with hand-peeled shrimp, cold-smoked salmon, fresh waffles, and a legendary cake buffet that's hard to walk past. In summer, the garden terrace fills up quickly, with views across the water and an atmosphere that is entirely unhurried. A natural stop on any visit to Vaxholm, whether arriving by boat or by car.
A hidden gem on Svartsö in the Värmdö archipelago, Bistro Sågen was born when three friends converted an old sawmill into one of the Stockholm archipelago's most authentic dining destinations. The menu is rooted in genuine farm-to-table cooking — meat from their own livestock, vegetables from their own fields, and a philosophy that favours simplicity and craft over complication. In summer, the setting is hard to beat.
Svartsö is a small island in the Värmdö archipelago, quieter and less visited than its neighbours — which is precisely its appeal. Reachable by private or communal boat.
