Vacation rentals with a pool in Santa Cruz Island

This place is pristine! We felt like home and the pool was so refreshing at the end of the day! Comfortable beds, with fresh a/c rooms. Quiet neighborhood. The kitchen very well equipped (better than my at home). Definitely, a place I would recommend to anyone and that I would come back.

Fabulous place with a great host!

Ximena and Charles were really great hosts. It was our first time visiting the Galapagos and they really made us feel welcomed. They organized everything we needed from the moment we arrived at the airport, helped us book tours, find restaurants, etc. The cottages are well stocked with breakfast, drinks and fresh fruit. It was really an excellent stay. We would happily stay here again.

We loved our stay at Shangri-la. It is in an area that can only be accessed by catching a water taxi from the waterfront at Puerto Ayores. This is much easier than it sounds. Water taxis run all the time and we never waited more than five minutes . The trip then takes five minutes and it’s very pleasant. It is then only a few minutes walk to the lovely home of Shangri-la. Juan met us in Puerto Ayores and helped us with our luggage and the water taxi on arrival and departure. The house is great. It has three bedrooms, kitchen, dining and living area and an awesome top level balcony with hammock and spa bath. It is very clean. The pool is great to have. The kitchen is well equipped. We liked being able to do some self-catering. It is a short walk to 3 restaurants and a beach. Communication was excellent. Juan stayed at a separate (but on site) residence. This was unexpected-we anticipated the place entirely to ourselves-but was not a problem, and he was very helpful. Highly recommended.

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.

Amazing ambiance and excellent service. Only complaint is partially my fault, but some direction on airport logistics prior to arrival would have made trip more enjoyable, I was unable to make it to destination upon arrival because ferries were closed, and come to realize this massive inconvenience could have been avoided by knowledgeable communication, most visitors are not locals!! it's not OK to assume visitors know these logistics. Staff was amazing and particularly Lorana was absolutely amazing and made our trip 5 star she cooked delicious meals at really reasonable prices. Thank You Lorana!!!

My friends and I enjoyed our stay and couldn’t recommend this place more. The hosts Veronica and Javier were so helpful and had great recommendations for tours and restaurants. Be sure to ask about having them set you up with local tours as the discounts can be pretty great. Aside from that, the beds are comfortable, the bathrooms are clean and the pool and jacuzzi were great after our long days. I highly recommend this place and would definitely return.

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.

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!

We liked this place so much that we came back for a second stay. The hosts are super kind and very helpful. The pool is wonderful. The room is great. Location is nice. Breakfast is yummy. Hard to beat a place like this.

The stay was nice, the airbnbs are a block over from the main hotel. The pool was better than the photos & was a great place to cool off. Wifi worked quickly in the main common area in our building & there is a 2G router on the upper floor that allowed you to send messages. The kitchen had the essentials including a sandwich press that we used almost everyday! The unit was on the 4th floor of the building via stair access which gave us a nice view. Water pressure wasn’t great but we were swimming every day so it didn’t bother us much. The front desk staff were awesome, knew us by name & booked a discovery diving tour for us! Would recommend staying here!
