Vacation rentals with a pool in Galápagos Islands

Excellent stay. We enjoyed renting bikes to go out to the Darwin Foundation. 1835 coffee and Midori sushi were both recommendations that we took from the host - absolutely wonderful experiences at both. Very unique stay in a beautiful “tree house”. Beautiful decor and touches throughout the home. It was everything we wanted and we’d definitely stay again!

The accommodation is very useful if you go with family and very nice! If you like walking, it's 15-20 minutes from downtown, but there are vans that are always in the neighborhood and for $1.50 they take you to the shopping area!

Xavier's place was exactly what we were looking for on our three night stay on San Cristobal. The Pier, restaurants, and all tours were within a 10 minute walk.

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.

We loved staying at the Dock House during our time in Puerto Ayora. It was very convenient to have access to the Ninfa Hotel for the amenities and breakfast available there. The house location is just a short walk away from the hotel but positioned very conveniently to the pier where we departed for all our tours and ferry. It was also close to the supermarket and local restaurants. We really enjoyed walking down to the pier in the evenings to watch all the sealife. The house is large and well equipped. The private yard with the hot tub, seating areas and hammocks was well enjoyed by our family when we needed some downtime after the long day tours. The bathrooms are updated and modern. They supplied a water bottle dispenser with drinkable water which was also appreciated. Overall, we think this was the perfect spot for our family of 5 during our stay in Puerto Ayora.

This was a fantastic location to stay. The entire hotel is a work of art, and the backstory of the owners makes it a really special part of local culture. Amenities were also nice, was able to get laundry done, taxis easily, and was a short walk (10 minutes) from the airport.

great place to stay. close to port. markets close by. thank so much!
