Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Galápagos Islands

Un lugar muy agradable equipado cerca de un parque para los niños nos agradó mucho la estancia ahí no tuve el gusto de conocer mucho a Ana pero me pareció una excelente anfitriona cosas a considerar el internet ya que en en si no es tan bueno y la TV se paraba x momentos pero es algo manejable ya que a la isla vas a disfrutar de sus lugares

I wish we would’ve stayed at their place the entire time we were in San Cristobal. It was clean spacious had a kitchen, large refrigerator and the location couldn’t have been better. The outside patio was amazing and our host were the best host ever! If you get a chance to stay, I’d stay. It’s not the Ritz, but who needs the Ritz when you’re in paradise? It’s three floors up. It’s good exercise that’s how I look at it but if you have a problem with walking or climbing stairs, get a first floor place to stay.

Our family of 5 stayed here for 6 days and used this great little home as a base to explore the island by foot and by taxi. It was perfect. The lovely host ensured we had water and tended to anything needed. A great little place to stay, with a perfect balance of being a decent walk to town each day (incidental exercise, we love it!) and not being too far away from anything. Of course, you can also hail a cab for a couple of bucks if you don't feel like walking. The house had everything we needed. Great the hot water worked (we have accepted it either way due to being such a goo size and such good value - but it was great). It was big enough to use as a comfortable base to explore the island, and even has an outdoor patio area to watch the world go by and let the kids play. Perfect for couples or families wanting some space on a modest budget. Stop here, enjoy, and wander to the restaurants when you feel it to enjoy some humble, spacious, quality island time. Disfruten!

The place was very clean with comfortable beds. WiFi was a bit spotty but we had issues with this on all the islands. Gonzalo was a great host and was always responsive. The person who greeted us at the house gave us plenty of recommendations and ensured we didn’t have any questions on where to find anything in the home. Everything is within walkable distance but I recommend taking a quick $2 taxi to La Lobería beach. Gonzalo also helped with booking tours at great prices. I highly recommend this place and would stay here again.

recomendado full privacidad y tranquilidad

Definitivamente me Volvería a Hospedar aquí, las fotos no le hacen justicia al sitio, aquí está todo ridículamente super limpio, impecable, tanto don Luis y la sra Angela muy serviciales y predispuestos a guiarte para una buena estancia, 100% RECOMENDADO, si te gusta la tranquilidad es una muy buena opción 🙏

Me siento satisfecho por el lugar porque todo es igual a las fotografías y estaba cerca a todos los lugares turísticos de Santa Cruz y cerca a los lugares de comida, caminando a 3 minutos ya llegaba al Puerto, estábamos en pleno centro de la isla, el departamento muy acogedor, tranquilo y sobre todo limpio ya que Maria la persona de limpieza estaba pendiente y a Gino que estaba pendiente en mi estadía y recomendandome sitos de comida y demás.

Great place for a family it could be bigger, however everything was as described and the price should be lower as not close to main areas as walking can take a good 15mins or more depends on people really. beds and furniture very good and comfortable as well as tv with smart functions.

This was the perfect place to stay on Santa Cruz Island. Very close to so many wonderful restaurants, shops, and attractions. Also, just a few minutes walk to the water. We walked everywhere! The apartment was very clean and comfortable and the breakfast was delicious! The host (and family) were all very friendly and welcoming! I highly recommend this place!

I stayed for 2 weeks at edgars place, i really enjoyed it. Edgar is verry friendly and helpfull, the place is nice and specially the rooftop is just amazing and of top of that you have hushy an verry friendly and kind husky :)

Took Maria’s advice to hire a taxi from the airport. Bring a lot of cash and small bills for the taxi. $1 per person. Or take the bus- 50 cents per person. The house itself is clean. There’s no AC so it was quite hot and humid in February. There are ceiling fans in the bedrooms. The water pressure in the showers was good. You have to let it run a while to get hot water but once you do, it’s great. The beds were very comfortable. The pool was perfect in the hot afternoons. The yard has a zip line and treehouse. Bikes were provided but we didn’t use them. The house is less than 10 minutes from town by taxi. To get the taxi we walked a block on a dirt road to the main road and put our arm out. Even at 5:45am we were able to hail a cab within 5 minutes. The taxis are Toyota trucks! We really liked that we were out of the hustle and bustle of the town. The roosters are loud in the morning so if you’re not used to that, bring earplugs. Don’t leave food out or you’ll have ants.

I'm not sure where to start when describing how great this place is. It really all starts with Heinke, who is the premier host. She was so incredibly helpful with planning and helping us get around, two things that are critically important when visiting the Galapagos archipelago. She also checked us in and showed us around the house personally. The house itself is beautiful, well laid-out, and well-constructed. The grounds are serene, the view is breathtaking and the fruit growing on the property and the birds that frequent the house add to the charm. The kitchen was well equipped and it is clear that a lot of thought and love was put into this place. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Galapagos who is looking to stay in a place where you can truly relax and feel like you are on vacation, that also serves as a prime home base for excursions all over the islands. Thanks for making our stay amazing, Heinke!

buena experiencia. la casa está ubicada bien central y tiene todo lo básico para un alojamiento cómodo. muchas gracias!

Puerto Ayora puede resultar ruidoso a la noche al ser una ciudad pequeña pero bastante turistico. El alojamiento en Gecko House ha sido una excelente elección porque la casa se encuentra en un lugar mas tranquilo, a solo 15 minutos andando hasta el centro, y muy cercano al inicio del camino que lleva a Tortuga bay, una playa paraisiaca. Los anfitriones son una pareja de galapagueños que conocen perfectamente la isla y ofrecen servicio de taxi para llevar al rancho El Chato donde se pueden ver tortugas terrestres, tipicas de la isla Santa Cruz. Realmente satisfechos tambien con el confort de la casa y su terraza para relajarse despues de un dia de excursiones, muy recomendable!
