Waterfront vacation rentals in Puerto Ayora

My husband and I stayed at Sarah’s for a week and really enjoyed our experience. That said, this Airbnb is very rustic and may not be for people who want to be closer to town and or require more modern facilities. For us, the biggest issue was the kitchen, which was quite small and difficult to cook in, but we were able to eat simple breakfast and lunch lunches there and we always ate dinner out. Personally, we enjoyed being out of the hustle and bustle of Santa Cruz and smack in the middle of nature. The walk to where you take the water taxi into town is beautiful. It takes about 12 to 15 minutes depending on how high the tide is and what time of day it is. It gets quite dark at night so make sure you have a flashlight because there are no lights along the rocky path. Sarah has to be one of the nicest and most helpful hosts I have ever met. She will go out of her way to help you out and is a great source of local knowledge.

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!

Das Apartment hat eine wunderbare Aussicht und bietet die Möglichkeit die hiesigen Vögel zu beobachten! Antonio ist ein großartiger Host, der super schnell reagiert hat und sehr hilfreiche Tipps für uns hatte. Er hat uns auch eine Schnorchelausrüstung zur Verfügung gestellt. Die Lage ist sehr zentral und bietet die Möglichkeit schnell am Hafen, am Strand und auf der Promenade zu sein. In der Nähe befinden sich auch Bars, die in der Nacht natürlich auch laut sein können. Ich würde dieses Apartment jederzeit wieder buchen. Danke Antonio!

This home was a dream, plenty of space for our family. We appreciate Sra. Olga's help with check in and making us feel right at home. The amazing outdoor spaces gave us opportunities to see the abundant wildlife the island has to offer right from the patio area. The rooftop is amazing and perfect to enjoy a cold drink. The location of this home is also perfect, a quick walk to the ferry and water taxi arrival/departure area. We will definitely stay in our next visit to Santa Cruz.

BOOK IT!!!! The Dock House exceeded our expectations! The home was spacious and spotless - exactly as listed. The private courtyard made use feel even more at home. Our ability to use the beautiful pool, have a delicious breakfast, and ride the bikes provided only added to the amazing stay! The home was fully stocked - outdoor shower for our sandy days, cups/plates, filtered water, towels, etc. The location was perfect - on the pier and within walking distance to beaches, restaurants, clubs, markets, etc. The staff we encountered were friendly and extremely accommodating - providing recommendations to enhance our experience. We highly recommend the Dock House as it was PERFECT! We hope to return one day! Thank you to everyone who made our stay GREAT!!!

El alojamiento estaba impecable, tal como se observa en la publicación, excelente ubicación, cerca del puerto donde salen las excursiones y de los restaurantes. La conexión a internet fue perfecta durante toda la estadía. Xavier estuvo predispuesto a ayudarnos en todo momento, nos gestiono dos excursiones consiguiéndonos pagar menos. Nos manejamos con el taxista Héctor ( recomendado por Xavier ) una persona muy responsable, educada que nos hizo también de guía. Gracias por todo lo vivido en Galapagos, sin duda lo volveríamos a elegir.

Great location. Quiet. I’m a family apartment complex, so being quiet was great. Lovely street. Close to town. Clean rooms and bathroom. Would come back for sure! William helped with arranging taxis and made checking in easy.

Great location close to pier, very walkable. Easy check-in. Cold A/C! We didn’t use the common areas but they looked very welcoming and accommodating.
