Vacation rentals with beach access in Galápagos Islands

I stayed at Tania's for one night and it was great for my needs. The rental is well located, and everything is accessible. The bakery and store downstairs open early for any requirements. All main restaurants are just a few blocks away. The unit is up a few flights of stairs which keeps bugs out of the unit. The portable a/c is an evaporative cooler, so be advised if you are sensitive to heat. Tania is a great host who was always quick with a reply to any question I had. Check in was easy and the unit is practical for a short stay. I would stay again, Thank you Tania!!

Very well kept place in the middle of most attractions at San Cristobal. Segundo and is wife Edith showed us our place and gave helpful information. They responded quickly whenever we needed anything. We asked them about travel agent to book tours and Edith’s sister Nayeli happened to work for a travel agency Galapagos Blue Sky. We were introduced to her. We got great advice and booked all our tours, ferries and inter island flight with her. We highly recommend this Airbnb if you plan to spend some time in San Cristobal.

We had a fantastic stay at this apartment, which is in a central yet quiet location. The apartment was well equipped and the hosts were quick to respond to questions. Highly recommended!!

We stayed for 6 days and had an excellent experience. The service was outstanding—Mr. Ernesto was very kind and always available to answer any questions. The house is in a great location, just 5 blocks from the port where all the tours depart. There are shops, restaurants, and everything you need nearby. It’s also close to Tortuga Bay, so you can walk there easily. Super well located! Everything was spotlessly clean: towels, sheets, and floors. The kitchen is fully equipped, and Mr. Ernesto kindly provided us with water, salt, oil, and other basics, which we truly appreciated. We felt completely at home and I give it a solid 10 out of 10. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Galápagos looking for comfort, cleanliness, and warm hospitality. Thank you for everything! Estuvimos 6 días en este alojamiento y fue una experiencia excelente. La atención fue de primera; el señor Ernesto es una persona muy amable y siempre estuvo disponible para resolver todas nuestras dudas.

We loved our stay at the Drake Inn - great service, right across the street from an amazing beach with iguanas. Great self-service bar and rooftop lounge with stunning views of the sea.

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.

Great location and stay at Maria Fernanda's place, highly recommended

The apartment is super cozy, spacious, and nicely decorated. It's located in the very center of Puerto Ayora, all the points of interest are within walking distance. The hosts are very friendly, proactive and willing to go an extra mile to make sure you have everything you need.

Alexandra is a great host! An d the place was great located near to anything in town. I recommend this place

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.

The stay was great and chilled. Not a lot of interactions or communication with the host but he was responsive when needed. It would be good to consider having a weekly tidy up and cleaning of the room for long staying guests.

Asdru is a very responsive and accommodating host, and the person present on site is easily available in case of need. The accommodation is clean, large (for a family of 4) and functional. The neighborhood has little interest but calm. It has a mini market quite close by. In the areas for improvement, a drinking water dispenser is missing and there is no air conditioning in the master bedroom. The fan is appreciated although noisy.

Rony is a very friendly and helpful host, gave a lot of useful advices and recommendations, helped me to book with excursions to other islands and the ferry, I highly recommend Rony’s services! The location of the house is absolutely magnificent, opposite the beach, it was very clean and comfortable, the price-quality ratio is excellent! Floreana charmed me, calm, few tourists, you can be alone with nature, I am delighted with my visit and would like to return again.

I loved being hosted by locals. The city is so small that even if we are not located in the center, Myrian's accommodation is very close. The room is very comfortable and nice. It's very clean. There's sometimes a little noise but it's the sounds of the city, dogs barking, Saturday night music, you get used to it quickly. Myrian's whole family is adorable, I thank her tenderly for welcoming me into her home.

Very nice, spacious clean room with a good location directly on the Malecon a very short walk away from all the restaurants and tour companies. When you step outside you can already see the see lions, which definitely is a plus. I got picked up from the airport. I‘d definitely stay here again if I ever find myself on San Cristobal again. Muchas gracias!

Beautiful place to stay by the beach. Loved the sunsets and sea lions on the beach. Great location, can walk there from the ferry. Loads of good places to eat, Lucky's is a lovely local restaurant, very reasonably priced. We will stay again.

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.

The room is very cleanly maintained Beach towels are also prepared, and there are plenty of cooking utensils to cook. The location is close to the main street, and the food at the nearby vulkan restaurant is great. It was convenient that the host took me to the airport at check-out.

Pepos place had all the amenities we needed for making breakfast in the morning. And lots of fresh water provided. The bathroom was clean. I love that pepos place was close to Playa Mann and Tijeretas area, providing tons of activities. And plenty of restaurants surrounding.

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.

This is the second time we've stayed in Sahara's Airbnb. It is a 5 minute stroll to the pier. It has everything you need for an enjoyable stay and a great patio to dry clothes or enjoy a nice glass of wine. We hope to return again!

Very nice and walking distance from the beach

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!
