Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Santa Cruz Island

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!

Another great stay at Anna's. We came back because we liked it!

Great 1st floor apartment, very clean, great host and service. Air conditioner is only in bedroom but it works great for both rooms. Kitchen is good, I was able to cook the whole week. Location is relatively quiet, it's 2 blocks from the main street and the market, but you can't hear the cars. Close to the trail to Tortuga Bay. 10-15 minutes walk to the port. There are a two more apartments in the same building, sharing the yard. Carlos was great, he offered towels and bedsheets change often, took care of the garbage too.

Extremely helpful and responsive hosts, the place was as described.

Pure magic behind the gate! Hidden behind a private wall in Puerto Ayora, this stunning two-story villa is an absolute gem. Impeccable Cuban cedar woodwork, hot tub, full kitchen, Wi-Fi, three spotless bathrooms, and a guest wing—this place has it all. Just a 5–10 min walk to downtown and restaurants, yet it feels like a private sanctuary. But the real star? The hostess. She personally walked us through everything—drivers, restaurants, tour guides, the best boats, best snorkels—you name it. Like having your own Galápagos concierge. We’d recommend this place to anyone, families included, with zero hesitation. Stay here. Seriously.

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!

Jhon and his family are wonderful hosts, always on request and ready to help. The apartment is fantastic, spacious and bright

Nice and quiet place, all excellent :D

We had a lovely stay at Michela’s studio, we were only there for a day but in that time Michela was very attentive to our needs, alongside giving good suggestions for dining. The studio is situated close to the port which is very convenient. Highly recommend staying!
