House holiday rentals in Puerto Ayora

The accommodation is very useful if you go with family and very nice! If you like walking it is 15-20 min from the center but there are pickup trucks that are always around the neighborhood and for $1.50 they take you to the shopping area!

Charles and Ximena were great hosts. They went out of their way to make sure we had a great stay. Galapagos Cottages is an excellent location clos e to Tortuga Bay. Also, the coffee, milk be beer in the frigde was perfect.

Ximena and Charles were really great hosts. It was our first time visiting the Galapagos and they really made us feel welcomed. They organized everything we needed from the moment we arrived at the airport, helped us book tours, find restaurants, etc. The cottages are well stocked with breakfast, drinks and fresh fruit. It was really an excellent stay. We would happily stay here again.

We loved our stay at Shangri-la. It is in an area that can only be accessed by catching a water taxi from the waterfront at Puerto Ayores. This is much easier than it sounds. Water taxis run all the time and we never waited more than five minutes . The trip then takes five minutes and it’s very pleasant. It is then only a few minutes walk to the lovely home of Shangri-la. Juan met us in Puerto Ayores and helped us with our luggage and the water taxi on arrival and departure. The house is great. It has three bedrooms, kitchen, dining and living area and an awesome top level balcony with hammock and spa bath. It is very clean. The pool is great to have. The kitchen is well equipped. We liked being able to do some self-catering. It is a short walk to 3 restaurants and a beach. Communication was excellent. Juan stayed at a separate (but on site) residence. This was unexpected-we anticipated the place entirely to ourselves-but was not a problem, and he was very helpful. Highly recommended.

BOOK IT!!!! The Dock House exceeded our expectations! The home was spacious and spotless - exactly as listed. The private courtyard made use feel even more at home. Our ability to use the beautiful pool, have a delicious breakfast, and ride the bikes provided only added to the amazing stay! The home was fully stocked - outdoor shower for our sandy days, cups/plates, filtered water, towels, etc. The location was perfect - on the pier and within walking distance to beaches, restaurants, clubs, markets, etc. The staff we encountered were friendly and extremely accommodating - providing recommendations to enhance our experience. We highly recommend the Dock House as it was PERFECT! We hope to return one day! Thank you to everyone who made our stay GREAT!!!

Amazing ambiance and excellent service. Only complaint is partially my fault, but some direction on airport logistics prior to arrival would have made trip more enjoyable, I was unable to make it to destination upon arrival because ferries were closed, and come to realize this massive inconvenience could have been avoided by knowledgeable communication, most visitors are not locals!! it's not OK to assume visitors know these logistics. Staff was amazing and particularly Lorana was absolutely amazing and made our trip 5 star she cooked delicious meals at really reasonable prices. Thank You Lorana!!!

Great location close to pier, very walkable. Easy check-in. Cold A/C! We didn’t use the common areas but they looked very welcoming and accommodating.

This home was a dream, plenty of space for our family. We appreciate Sra. Olga's help with check in and making us feel right at home. The amazing outdoor spaces gave us opportunities to see the abundant wildlife the island has to offer right from the patio area. The rooftop is amazing and perfect to enjoy a cold drink. The location of this home is also perfect, a quick walk to the ferry and water taxi arrival/departure area. We will definitely stay in our next visit to Santa Cruz.

A very cozy place, excellent location, very safe, Delia always lends itself to collaborating, 100% recommended

Location location location! Walkable to all stores, restaurants and the port. Casa Tortuga was better than the pictured as the entrance had a beautiful little garden with flowers and fruit. Tortuga bay is a 30 mts walk from the property but very easy to follow. All Utilities available in the kitchen and great selection of books. My daughter managed to find and finish Congo! The restaurant recommendations in the book was very helpful. It would help if the distance to each restaurant was listed as we were new to the neighborhood. Another recommendation is folks can have an English speaking driver as it would have been good to communicate on the way.. Thank you for promptly responding and answering our questions and for also helping with the taxi service. Highly Recommend this property to all families and couples.

One of my absolute favorite hosts ever! Carlos responded to any question I had within five minutes. He also helped me secure a cab back to the airport and gave me many recommendations. He was super friendly and very helpful.
