Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Santa Cruz Island

A very nice place equipped near a park for the children we really liked the stay there I did not have the pleasure of meeting Ana very much but I thought I was an excellent host to consider the internet since in itself it is not so good and the TV stopped x moments but it is something manageable since on the island you are going to enjoy its places

Very good location. The accommodation is next to pharmacies, bakery, supermarkets. The pool is nice. The house is excellently equipped both for living and for going out with diving gear. Each room is spacious and has its own bathroom. The kitchen has a lot of dishes to cook in. Barbara is very pleasant and responsive to our requests and needs. We recommend this accommodation for a family or friends.

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.

Great little place for a group to stay. The host was super helpful and quick to reply. Couldn’t ask for more! The only downside is the very low pressure in the shower, but it must the island problem. There is also a lot of noise coming from the street during night so not a good option if you are light sleeper. But! Overall very happy with the stay.

Absolutely perfect! House was beautiful, location was great, host was nice and very responsive!

Ana is a wonderful host and we loved the location, a short walk to the beach and had the best wifi we have found on Galapagos. Plenty of room and really great kitchen. Thanks Ana, we will be coming back!

this is a 5 star review summary: I will most definitely book this location again. pos: host is extremely responsive, and offered solid recommendations for travel and services pos: location is close to downtown (15 minute leisurely walk to ferry, less than 10 to darwin research) with plenty of mini markets and restaurants within 10 pos: beds comfortable, plenty of storage spaces, very secure. neighborhood feels very safe pos: pictures are exact, property is well furnished and well decorated. a fantastic place to spend a week or more in the galapagos neg: like most multi story structures in S America, tight winding stairway may be tough for elderly. Not a criticism of this host, but be aware there are no bedrooms on entry level. neg: as with all properties in the city of puerto ayora, expect to hear trucks coming and going at all hours. no late night restaurant or bar noise.

Very comfortable and cozy apartment. I would highly recommend it. If I return to Galapagos, I will return to the same apartment.

Jonn was a fantastic host— friendly and communicative. He let us borrow a couple of bikes and brought us water and bananas. The rooftop has a great view! The neighborhood is very laid back and not touristy at all. Bit of a walk into town but fine to do occasionally, mixed with some biking and taxi rides. We loved our stay in the apartment.

Very nice place to stay

It was safe for a family with children. with proximity to bank, meals and main street

A very clean and modern apartment in the center of Puerto Ayora. John is an amazing host who goes out of his way to make sure his guests are well cared for. He arranged private transportation from the airport to the rental which included stops for a quick hike and a tour of the tortoise ranch with lava tunnels on the way. I would highly recommend this rental and will stay here again if I’m back in Galápagos.

Conny’s place was absolutely fantastic! We loved staying there. It was the perfect place to stay in Puerto Ayora, everything is nearby (especially the port which is beyond convenient). The apartment is so comfortable and Conny is so helpful. Do yourself a favor and skip the hotels and stay here!

Comfortable clean apartment. Very good location 3 blocks from main street. Host is very responsive.

I stayed for a month and I loved it. Fantastic value for the money. Very kind and responsive hosts that will make sure that you are well taken care of. It’s a simple accommodation but you have everything you need - kitchen, WiFi, shower. I work online and I do a lot of video meetings. 90% of the time the internet was fine. A few times a bit slow and sometimes it dropped. But they always tried to resolve it quickly. They also washed my clothes for a tiny fee. The kitchen had sometimes tiny ants, so you have to be careful how you handle food. They immediately had products available to have them disappear but I didn’t mind them. They cleaned every week. I loved coming back to the clean place. The garden is sweet with the hammocks. The area is a little walk from the main area but I LOVED that because it meant that it was so calm and peaceful and I got my steps in. Wonderful accommodation, I will return.

This place was in the perfect spot. Two blocks walk to the water. Plenty of restaurants and stores to walk too. Germania gave us dinner recommendations as well as saved us time and money by suggesting we ask our taxi driver to take us to Los Gemelos and El Chato Ranch before dropping us off. She was very responsive and always friendly. The place looks just like the pictures. If we ever come back we will stay here for sure!!

Javier (host) was the best part about our stay. His kindness and amazing hospitality made us feel right at home. His breakfasts and freshly made coffee just took the stay here to another level. The place is nice and close to downtown Santa Cruz. Highly recommend! It is also very very safe.

Really great everything. Walter was very attentive to coordinate my arrival, he welcomed me kindly and his apartment is impeccable. Everything clean, working, and nicely equipped. The place is very cute. He was also very attentive to help me get to know the most important places on the island. It's been a great experience

This is a great find! although there were renovations, the host was very accommodating to work around it. Veronica and Javier absolutely made this AirBnB one of the best I've ever stayed in! William was a recommended driver direct from the host and he was also worth his weight in gold! Bikes were provided along with helmets and the Port is within 10 minutes walking. I loved everything about our stay and we will definitely return!

What an open peaceful space! The porch was spectacular and we spent a lot of time sitting out there. It was an easy walk to almost anything. The AlMar restaurant was a three minute walk with delicious food and drinks as well as being right on the water. We loved how open and airy the space was and the air conditioning was much appreciated especially for sleeping! Thank you to Matthew for meeting us and answering all our questions!

Excellent stay. The place has all the necessary amenities for a family group and the location is close to the main points of the island. A recommended option, no question.

Enrique Veronica and Javier were excellent host during our stay for the week. Not only did we have breakfast every morning exactly when we asked there was a variety of different items that were served. Additionally, Veronica helped out immensely with tours and even getting our laundry done. We would highly recommend this location and in future trips we will stay again. Thank you, Veronica and Javier.

We felt very comfortable with Jimmy. Everything is very clean and the air conditioning works perfectly. There is a supermarket and a bakery nearby. The port is about 10 minutes' walk away. We will be happy to come back!

Great place to stay in Puerto Ayora. In a quiet area and just a short walk to all the hustle and bustle of downtown.
